jasper65 6 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I know there are a good few anti Tyson guys out there but you have to give this guy some credit for what he acheived when he was so young. He was the youngest ever world champion and admitidly lost it through his private life and other mental Demons! but in his day he was explosive and set the Heavyweight division on fire when it needed it!! boy does this division need a guy like him again these days .... This is a cracking compilation on the guy Jasper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrea 2 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 True, but then again he was convicted of rape which kind of makes you lose all respect for him in anything. But yes he was a good boxer in his day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But yes he was a good boxer in his day. He was convicted but I remember reading at the time how the accuser was seen in a restuarant tapping him up and willingly going to his room before she cried Rape , He was certainly found guilty and convicted but was he? It was a dubiouse decision but if he did he got what he deserved but if he didn't but still took the can!! its a tragedy.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,769 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 That was excellent Jasper . Tyson is the only guy that made me sit up and watch heavyweight fights in the late eighties/early nineties. I've a video here with some great action on featuring some of the best around, including my boxing hero, Jack Dempsey...."Kings Of The Ring". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jasper65 6 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Just found this one when he fought Pinlon Thomas! it still has to go down as one of the most brutal finishes in the heavy weight ring!! you have to give Thomas his doos though!! he took them well before he finally hit the canvass ....
