Douglas Ferguson

Douglas Ferguson
IBHOF Mike Tyson is that material?

I have to ask this question. Mike Tyson gave us an exciting five years of his career (1985-1990) before his fall unfortuante after he was released from prison. True, he won two more titles after their release Alphabet. I've always enjoyed his career when their coaches and Mangement is A + grade. Anyone who can not say it was not a fighter focused as he was champion before Douglas. You may notice slipping during his first fight with Frank Bruno, but still there. Here are some of their statistics: 1. They were 18, with 18 wins by KO (12 in the 1st round) Jesse Ferguson would have knocked out if Ferguson did not hold. 2. Heavyweight champion younger than 20 years of age. 3. 2x former undisputed champion and heavyweight champion. 4. The biggest box only heavyweight boxing history. 5. Fast drilling hard struggle combination (run fast) not seen in the heavyweight division. Personally, say he should be voted into the Hall of Fame any other thoughts?

One thing forgotten in the history of Mike Tyson's boxing was really good. Once there was a discussion about whether it was the largest one ever to live and everything seemed to point to that is the case. he had some problems with guys like Ribalta and Tillis but always has the job done. talk about him having trouble with bigger guys is an exaggeration, guys like Green and Smith just run it and use effort to maintain distance, but managed to completely Outbox the two adversaries, the end came quickly for Tyson and that's why his legacy (also their actions reprehensible) to be tarnished. most notably the 1st fight without his defensive skills Rooney had disappeared, also wants to put their pictures together and from then became just a kicker. young tyson would have had some difficulties goin through the "great". renowned wrestlers either had elusiveness of his defense or his power, but not to the extent he did. i can only see the game beaten Tyson at his best is one that defeated Liston, Ali
