No they weren't.
And a blown up cruiser who bullied Tyson twice (and Tyson was even smaller).
Anyway, back to the thread title. Look at the first fight. A prime, unstoppable Mike. Does he ever box in this bout? It's just wild punches, or one hoyed out then straight inside. And still some (generally the casuals mind) can't see his limitations. LOL.

Probably.
Tyson couldn't have made Cruiser since he was about 14. Are you talking about height? Or just talking nonsense?

Holyfield was a bigger man. And a much better boxer. Didn't matter to Lewis mind. He knacked them both. Tyson got pummelled thrice.
Who of note did Tyson beat? Apart from Ruddock, who gave him a very hard time,but ultimately wasn't good enough.

He could have cut weight to cruiser like but there was no money in cruiserweight.

No he wasn't

He was 215-220lbs in his peak. Cutting a stone of water is fuck all for an elite sportsman especially a muscular one.No he wasn't
No, he couldn't.

Holyfield was about 4 Inc taller and had a 6 Inc reach advantage. Holyfield was seen as a small heavyweight and yet the Tyson fan boys can't see why he lacked the tools at that division against the top boys. You've gotta laugh hahaha.

The more this thread goes the more we see SD doesn't really knar owt about boxing. But he had a Mike Tyson poster above his bed.
Most boxing experts are too.
The standard of opponents in his era, size and style of iron mike, dodging fights, his peak being such a short thing so everytime he lost to top fighter it didn't count....
He was git mean n that and threw wild punches means he was the bestest. LOL

Not for an elite heavyweight no. Loads of fighters will cut that much on a regular basis.

Tyson was a freak of nature, glad we have the tapes. People can & should say what they want about him.. he's a f***ing animal in my book.

He could have been though. Could easy have cut the weight.
Hard as nails. Just nowhere near the best heavyweight of all time.

Yeah and Duran could have been a Straw-weight. Easy, as you say.
Think you and your mate are arguing against nowt. Nobody thinks he was.
