I got chills. If there is anyone in boxing I would like to meet and talk to for a few hours. It's Mike Tyson. This dude is loaded with knowledge.
𝐀𝐋𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍. 𝐓𝐘𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐆𝐎𝐓.
After Ali lost to Larry Holmes in 1980, Tyson said Ali called him the next morning.
Ali was emotional. Tyson promised him: “When I get big, I’m going to get him for you. I’m going to restore your honor.”
Eight years later, Ali walked over to Tyson before the Holmes fight.
“Get him for me.”
Tyson did exactly that.

I aineem gone lie. I wouldn't know how to feel if a mf looked me up & down and winked at me before we touched gloves. Sugar Ray Leonard was a baby face killer with lightning in both hands.

Oscar De La Hoya fought 5x in 1997. If just one of these elite current A side fighters demanded that they fight 3x in a calendar year. It would change the status quo of the current era. There is no short cut to TRUE greatness.

Chavez. Duran sort of walked you down and beat you up in explosive burst. Chavez often put you in a corner or on the ropes and kept you there. Different application.
One skill only.
Who cut the ring off better Julio César Chávez Sr. or Roberto Durán?
Not who was greater.
Not who hit harder.
Just who stole the exits, shrank the space, and made a man fight where he didn’t want to.

Too many people are more invested in the BUSINESS of boxing than the actual BOXING. Who’s getting paid, who’s with who, percentages, politics… meanwhile, the fighters and the fights have become secondary. #boxing #thoughtoftheday

They call Hurts a system QB. But explain which system. He's had a NEW OC each year in the league....
Jalen Hurts has a 65-29 record as a starting QB (including playoffs)
That is the 6th highest winning percentage since the 1970 NFL merger.
Patrick Mahomes (.765)
Tom Brady (.751)
Roger Staubach (.743)
Joe Montana (.712)
Bob Griese (.693)
Jalen Hurts (.691)

Promoters in this era will sign a fighter they think is more marketable over a fighter they think is more talented. Then they have BOX out the more talented fighter with politics to keep them away from the so called more marketable fighter. Just sign the dam TALENT!!

Top 10 WIN of the 80s and that's not an easy top 10 to make considering Sanchez W Gomez, Duran W Leonard, Leonard W Hearns, Leonard W Hagler, Hagler W Hearns etc. This win sits right in the middle of THAT.
41 years ago, Michael Spinks defeated Larry Holmes by UD15 to win the IBF, Ring & lineal heavyweight titles. This fight was awarded Ring Magazine's Upset of the Year.

This was a weird fight. Bruno was winning almost every round. But man Lennox was clutch. He came through. However, this fight made me think Bowe should've taken the smoke. But guess what you can't win a fight you don't TAKE.
Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno. Cardiff, Wales. 1993.
The final knockout hides just how much trouble Lennox was actually in.
This was the first world heavyweight title fight between two British-born fighters. Lewis was 23-0 and a 4-1 favorite. Bruno was on his third title shot.
Frank was boxing out of his skin early, popping a heavy jab and backing Lewis up against the ropes.
After six rounds: 57-57, 57-57, 59-55 Bruno.
Then Lewis found the left hook in the seventh and changed the whole fight.
The finish was sudden. The fight wasn’t.
