For those who can't watch due to it being flagged

Tyson and many other boxers treatment by the fans is disgusting boxers get treated like a peice of meat by some people.

I know what you mean, but its not like Tyson treated others that great either. What I don't like is how much the fans from other countries fight about it, and are just flat out obnoxious. They were the main reason the riot happened after the Bowe-Golota match (the first one). Even George Foreman got involved a little by shoving guys out of the ring when they climbed up.

Can you explain what happened?

I'm a relative boxing newbie

Golota is from Europe (they seeem to have hard core and biased fans over there against American fighters) and Golota was in Bowe's home territory and winning (but was very dirty). In the end he hit Bowe low and the ref did what he should have done long before that, DQ Golota. Then Bowe's corner rushed at Golota, and the European's and New Yorkers got involved in the brawl and started attacking each other. Foreman was commentating, and you could hear him yell "Don't do it! Don't do it boy! *grunt*" and you could tell he shoved someone. Then in someinterviews apparently he helped keep people out of the ring and ripped others out. Basicaly he was shoving everyone around that tried to get into the ring. There might be something on youtube about it.

Just wondering, anyone know what the song in the video was?

Verdict

Mike Tyson IMO would've beaten any heavyweight opponent in history during his reign in the 80's. Let Ali stay on the ropes and try to take a barrage of punches from Tyson compared to the punches thrown by Foreman. Ali would've changed his mind real quick and tried another approach to beating Tyson.

Added on that Tyson was the second fastest heavyweight behind Ali, so it would've proved real difficult to stay away from tyson and fight backwards like Ali does. But Ali was a genius when it came to the ring, he would've pulled it off somehow. Other boxers were scard to death because they all knew they were going in agains't someone who was going to try to kill them, how is that a bad thing
