Status: offline 		That sounds all good, but Murph talked about a bigger, meaner SOB that came after Tyson and would have beaten him at his peak. George Foreman doesn't qualify.

What heavyweight(s) that fought at any time during Tyson's era was the bigger, meaner SOB that would have beaten him if he had been completely focused, as was the statement made to refute Murph's point?

Don't worry, I'll wait.

Who is beating that Mike Tyson?

Status: offline 		In the hypothetical Tyson career where D'amato didn't die, he would no way lost to Buster Douglas. Holyfield would have pushed him because he was a good fighter and as you pointed out he had no fear of Tyson. I think Tyson still wins. Lewis would have been an interesting match up because he had the size and power to take out Tyson.

As to rape, it could still have happened. There are prior allegations of Tyson trying to force himself on women as early as age 15.

It was a good fight no doubt. And it was a tad bloody. Did Valdez get his jaw broken?

They claimed it was not a broken jaw. They said he injured his tongue.

Status: offline 		Yeah, when your mouth is open and blood sort of flows, that ain't good lol. But, he's definitely a tough kid. Quigg is a grown ass man in the ring.

I think Frampton would beat his ass, but Valdez will be in every fight for sure. He'd make Leo Santa Cruz work. That would be a nice fight, though I doubt Arum would make it.

Status: offline 		In other fighter news, Kell Brook should keep his mouth shut. No reason to call out and disrespect the guy who broke your eye socket, just becuz you won your first fight at a higher weight class.

I don't feel bad for him baiting Spence, who told him via social media that he'd break both eyes next time. Damn.

He's been suspended pending a hearing on April 18. The fight with GGG, though not officially off, is thought to be canceled or postponed. Refunds for tickets have already started.

Now we get to watch Khabib destroy.

The only way I can view more threads is by changing the drop-down on the top-right of those forums to more days...like 365. But it doesn't remember this for next time I log in. Kind of annoying.

Anyway, great MMA card Saturday. Unfortunately Holloway had to scratch. His opponent, Brian Ortega, bad boy from Torrance, is the real deal. His ground game scares the shit out of people. Too bad that was scratched.

But, still a great card. Two fantastic heavyweight bouts. Stipe vs Cormier. Cormier is a legend. Stipe may be the 2nd best well-rounded big fighter in the game.
Stipe is a technician. Studies you like a savant. Patient, and finds your weakness. Then it's over.

Then you have Ngannou vs. Lewis. Francis Ngannou is 260 pounds of freak muscle. He makes Herschel Walker look fat. He's the MMA version of a young Mike Tyson. Imposing physical presence. Intimidating. Aggressive. Great striker. Comes out of the gate at 10.

His opponent, Derrick Lewis, is no slouch. Great chin, great striker. He's a bulldog. Great shit-talker. These two will settle this standing up. Over 500 pounds of power in the octagon. Neither of them are fat. This is a battle of freak, giant athletes.

I got Stipe over Cormier.
Ngannou over Lewis.

Some real good fights on ESPN, headlined by Regis Prograis. That dude is a killer. Oh, and Manny is fighting Lucas Mattysse, though its on the ESPN+ app. I'm wavering on purchasing it for the fight. I used my free trial for Bud Crawford's beatdown of Jeff Horn.
