Thread: Kimbo Vs. Tyson.......

ugh, this is such a meaningless fight.

lose lose situation for both parties.

Except for the $$$.

True, but think about the past....wouldn't this have been a freaky punch fest?

"Call it a freak show or a circus or whatever you want, but it would be the most-watched pay-per-view event ever," Shaw said.

I'd like to see what Iron Mike had to offer. He used to be a merciless pit bull....throw him in there with an (old) monster like Kimbo.

how bout tyson vs the bears with ditka?

Its a has been vs. a never was. I say never was cuz they keep throwing shit at him. If Kimbo is such a bad ass, give him someone else thats fresh and up and coming. Someone mentioned Brock Lesnar a few months ago. Id say thats a good one.

Shit, even Bob Sapp.

Tyson would get destroyed. He's old, out of shape, and was overrated when he was in his prime. What GREAT fighters did Tyson ever beat? He was famous because he knocked out bums, that's it.

Great fighters he beat included Larry Holmes and Michael Spinks. It's not his fault the heavyweight division was garbage when he was in his prime. By the time he was out of his prime (following his KO loss to Buster and rape conviction) is when guys like Evander and Lennox came along. He would've beat them both in his prime IMO. He fought anyone that was thrown at him and KO'd them in impressive fashion. He'll forever be a boxing legend and regarded as the most ferocious puncher of all time. Also, keep in mind he was 23-0 before his 20th birthday. That's damn impressive if you ask me.

So you're kind of agreeing with me, to some degree. His record for his age was very impressive, but he really didn't face many great opponents. You mentioned two who were very good, but that's far from qualifying him as the legend he's made out to be.
