Famous saying by Tyson....Whose a boxing fan here?? I use to be.....

I remember watching Tyson in his younger days. In the 80’s and 90’s. Not many hit harder. Many fights didn’t last long when in his prime.

Tysons power with the speed and economy he had was an art form. Especially when he worked the body first. I don't follow boxing much anymore but I'm interested in the Wilder/Fury rematch coming next month. If you want to watch the best pure technician in combat sports watch Jon Jones tonight. He's a Tyson esque talent in mma.

Know Bones Jones well. He’s a bigger fuck up than Tyson is/was but undeniably a great in his sport. Cromier knows all to well.

Tyson in his hay day was truly a phenomenon. I remember watching several of his early fights and it was lights out from any direction. When he went to prison he was never the same. Biting Holifields ear off really started a demise for the sport. Then his final embarrassment against Lenox Lewis that appeared just for the money put the nail in the coffin.

But those fights in that vid was vintage MT.

Boxing hasn’t been the same since Tyson, Holyfield, Riddick Bowe, etc. Nobody gives a fuck about the Heavyweights now. The Klitscho brothers were boring too.

Agree wholeheartedly

The ear biting by Tyson against Holifield done 81% in on boxing.

MMA come in not long after and audience’s went there.

Just posted MT in his hay day. He was devistating. Bit Holifields ear. Went to prison. Then shamed the US with that performance against the Englander Lewis(who was a great boxer btw) but all went to shit.

Mike Tyson got knocked out by Buster Douglas the night of my bachelor party. We all got fucked up after that. The stripper also seemed excited by the outcome of the fight.

30 years ago. Wow

The fight was on regular HBO not pay per view because it was a warm up. A lay up. A tomato can. Watched it with my son and we were seriously bummed out. Then Mike knocked him down. Then Buster got up and I knew Mike was done.

Classic bully. Folded up. Buster could have beat anyone that night. The power of the mental side of the game. He looked like Ali

Then his next fight against Hollyfield he gave up like he usually did. But for some reason he knew he could beat Mike

That was pretty much the end of boxing for me
