Mike Tyson

Background ~~~~ Mike Tyson, oh what could have been...or perhaps what should have been. As a boxing fan I will try and keep this to boxing, rather than the out of the ring troubles, and the problems he's had, as I'd rather remember him for what he did well. Theres many people who dislike Tyson's boxing, and others who loved it, but lets get it straight, Tyson after the death of Cus D'Amato was never the same again. The destructive puncher, stocky muscleman who used the peek-a-boo technique so well and actually was a lot more of a complete fighter than people remember was possibly one of the most enthralling fighters ever. Few could have kept up with ...  Read the complete review

A lot of people in the UK think that Tyson is a good fighter, they say yes let him fight, it's not just here people in America too, but has no-one stopped to think that the man is clearly crazy, when he first started out he was a great boxer, sadly it has all went wrong for this so called fighter. I think that something happened when he was younger which in some way has messed him up in his later life. He is clearly a disgrace to the good name that boxing has tired to keep, one man has turned this Gentleman's sport in his own blood sport, the people who run the boxing should really think twice about the effect that boxers like Tyson have on todays ...  Read the complete review

Mike Tyson goes by the name of "Iron" Mike Tyson and there's a valid reason, he punches like he's got an iron in his gloves. He is one of the most feared boxers ever to have graced the boxing ring but he is also one of the most dis-resectful fighter's to enter it. His last fight against the massive Dane Brian Nielson was a cool, calm and calculated fight from Tyson's point of view. He seemed to pace himself well considering he weighed his biggest he ever has, he punched well and most of all he obeyed the referee's orders at all times. If Tyson fought like this in every one of his fights then he would probably go down as the best ...  Read the complete review

So, 'Iron' Mike thinks that he can beat Lennox Lewis and win back the heavyweight title does he? Don't make me laugh! Tyson has ben running scared of Lewis for the last year, fighting and crushing mediocre boxers to try and prove a point to him. Lewis has done no such thing, fighting boxers of high quality that could actually threaten a fly, such as Tua. The way in which Lennox has disposed of boxers such as Tua has proved that he is deservedly in the number one heavyweight position. Mikes trainers and coaches claim that Tyson needs more time before fighting Lewis and taking the heavyweight title away from him. In my view, Mike is stalling and he is ...  Read the complete review

Maybe he was once a good boxer, but he is now a shadow of his former self. He causes trouble wherever he goes, and it is brilliant that he has now retires apparently. He is such a violent person, not the person you want to meet down a dark alleyway. he always causes controversy- road rage, punching below the belt, biting Holyfield's ear, punching the referee, punching after the bell etc. he is ruining boxing for the rest, particularly Lennox Lewis who is a great ambassador for the sport. He should get out know, so people start to watch again. every time he fights my opinion goes down- he should go now before the whole world hates him. He is a ...  Read the complete review
