Goly 1,547 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 By the year 2000 there was a handful of HW's that would have beat Tyson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me and my old man knew how great Holyfield was though, but still, was gutted when he broke him apart. I just wish they could have met in the early 90's, saying that, Holyfield may have well had his number, but, a much smaller Holyfield might not have been able to handle Tyson. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Are you from Doncaster mate ?....if so would you,or maybe even your father happen to know if Danny Shenton is still alive ?.....he was a proper hard case from Doncaster in the 80's,very good bare knuckle fighter he was due to fight the gypsy geezer Bartley i forget the surname now, at Doncaster races but there was some sort of big skirmish between rival gypsy gangs and it never went ahead.....Dannys bench press record in Armley nick still stands to this day as far as im aware....he'd be in his 70's now.
