Can you guys honestly say Mike Tyson was one of the greatest? Based solely on pugilistic ability he wasnt all that great. Sure he could punch, but look what happened when he fought Lennox Lewis. Lewis totally outboxed him cause Tyson couldnt get one of them deadly punches in. If we are judging by technique alone than I dont think He qualifies. He is the bust-you-in-yo-head-first-round-knock-out champ of all time though.-- Edited by Phantasma at 11:01, 2005-06-15
That my other boxer i kept trying to remember his name!! Lennox Lewis (who i had the pleasure of meeting) HES ONE BIG ASS BLACK GUY!! But he is amazing his old trainer that started his career has a gym here on keele and lawerence area!! (yes trained for a bit when i was 14) but didnt continue!
so i love boxing except WHEN ITS A TYSON FIGHT CANT STAND HIM FOR NADA!!
HECTOR MACHO CAMACHO was too dancy for me but was good i like the curl in the front!! best part when he had to cut it off!! cuz he lost a fight

I'm sure he'll become a great boxer. Just look at who's training him. I
I got to go with Iron Mike, when Mike started his career he was a raging bull, very agresive and competition never lasted more than 1 round, so i pick Mike Tyson. My second pick is Mr. Ali. To me the best Latino Boxer was MANO DE PIEDRA DURAN.

Yes Julio Cesar Chaves was the best body puncher.....they said after 2 or 3 ganchos al higado their legs will start to cramp.......
The golden boy....mmmm never liked his style his god but....too cocky
Mike Tyson....He was good but from the show point of view he finished the fights too fast......
Everyone knows Cassius Clay aka Muhammad Ali is the greatest...
I GOTTA GIVE IT TO ALI MY DADS FAVE SO I FOLLOWED HIS CAREER TOO BUT MY PERSONAL FAVE AND ALL TIME CHAMP IN MY EYES EVENADER HOLLYFIELD!! BUT THATS JUST MY PERSONAL FAVE!!

Mike Tyson was probably the greatest knock out champ, but might depend on what weight class, in General Roy Jones
