Mike Tyson v Corey Sanders (Exhibition) [PART 2/2]

Four round exhibition fight that took place a year after Tyson's last pro fight.

This was supposed to begin a "World Tour" of Tyson exhibitions but that idea had to be scrapped after public interest declined.

6:16 someone rammed a dildo up the commentators arse

[SoooBlue]

@eJessC What? Corrie Sanders, the South African, beat Wladimir Klitschko and lost to Vitali. This is not Corrie Sanders. This is Corey Sanders.

Pussy with the pads

@Bonswally absolutely agree...people harp on about Tyson's opposition...but look at how many 1st/2rd round kos he notched up on his way to the title....awesome specimen who no one had a clue how to deal with and I very much doubt that these so-called more skilled fighters (who were nowhere to be seen in 89) would have fared much better against that model Tyson. He is not an all time great because he lacked longevity, but youngest HWC unified it all....young mike coulda beaten anyone on his day

[cpaignboxing]

@ccrosbie33 he did unify the belts and dominate the HW division for quite some time. The Douglas was a fluke in the sense that Tyson was no where near ready for the fight and was completely out of shape and partying almost every night. What made Tyson so great was 1. natural freak athlete and 2 his amazing work ethic and crazy workout schedule. He would even refrain from having sex while training talk about dedication.Douglas didn't show the blueprint the best Douglas just beat the worst tyson

[Bonswally]

@ccrosbie33 oh god, get a life

tyson was one of the quickest figthers and hit with foreman power, he moved superbly and had a chin himself. Big george was nearly knocked out by ron lyle and ali knocked him out. Kid Dynamite would knock out George Foreman, Young or old. Tyson wasnt a "ring legend" because he had no real carer to speak of after those early years, but that doesnt change his devastating abilities in his prime. Im not even a fanboy, my favourite figter is joe frazier.

@cpaignboxing I think you mean Rooney, and I think I agree with most of what you said (except for passing off the Douglas fight as a "fluke" - Buster just showed the blue print of how to beat Mike).

Part of Mike not having a "legendary" career in the end was due to choices he made. He was amazingly skilled in his prime. But the fact is, he didn't. People tend to confuse "what could have been" and what really happened with Tyson. His potential was endless at a time, but he never fulfilled it.

[ccrosbie33]

@Bonswally Yes, Tyson's defense was amazing in his prime, but he's stop Big George without "any trouble?" Are you high? The same Big George with a cast-iron chin in both his prime and comebacks? The same Big George who was stopped by Ali when totally exhausted (yes, from Ali's strategy)?

I don't get the rose-colored glasses that same people view Mike Tyson with. He was amazing his prime, but not in the same class as the all-time greats.

[ccrosbie33]

@Bonswally To the contrary, it's the "causal boxing fan" who thinks Tyson is a "ring legend" or one of the best Heavyweights of all time. Tyson from 1986 to 1989 was an incredible terror, but he was also beating sub-par or aging opposition. Wins against an old Holmes and a terrified Michael Spinks (of Light Heavyweight fame) hardly showed us the trouble he'd eventually have against more skilled and stronger willed opponents. Anyone who knows the fight game will tell you that, sir...

[rrgert4]

why does corey have a mask ?

[Bonswally]

@ccrosbie33 you are the casual observer sir, a true observer realises that prime (86/87/88) Tyson posessed a skill level, speed, power and defense that was truly incredible, and few of boxing's greatest would be able to deal with.

[Bonswally]

@ccrosbie33 anyone has a hard time with those 3, Louis and Ali are possibly the greatest, but Tyson knocks out Big George without alot of trouble. cpaignboxing is right, the mid-late 80's Tyson evasiveness is something to behold.
