Rushmore; Names Scariest Fighter Ever"},"content":{"rendered":"

Mike Tyson is the true definition of a GOAT. While the term great is often thrown around cheaply these days, every boxing<\/a> enthusiast would agree that Tyson is one of the best to ever do it.<\/p>\n

And when discussing the greatest boxers of all time, it’s hard not to consider Tyson’s case in that category. In his prime, he was a ferocious force of nature who tore apart everyone put in front of him.<\/p>\n

However, one might wonder who ‘Iron’ Mike thinks are the greatest boxers of all time. Well, Tyson has answered that and has also named one legend as the scariest fighter ever.<\/p>\n

According to Tyson, Jack Dempsey, Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali, and George Foreman are the four greatest boxers of all time. He said, “Listen, Sonny Liston is a bad motherf*****, but Ali outsmarted them. These guys are bad guys, if you fight them man-to-man, they’ll fight you to death.”<\/p>\n

Sonny Liston is the scariest fighter to ever live. When he comes to a different town, the cops would say he can’t come. He knocked out around four cops, broke their jaw, took their guns.<\/p>\n

Tyson added, “There’s no fighter like Sonny Liston, Sonny Liston is a monster.” When the legendary Mike Tyson calls someone a monster, it should be considered case closed.<\/p>\n

On February 11, 1990, one of the biggest upsets in history took place. James ‘Buster’ Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson in the 10th round of their contest. Tyson was 37-0-0 at that point and was walking through opponents.<\/p>\n

Tyson has now given an interesting take on that fight, claiming that loss liberated him as a fighter. ‘Iron’ Mike said, “I was pretty liberated, I was pretty happy that happened. I knew I was going to be champ again, but I was happy that happened.”<\/p>\n

After his loss to Douglas, Tyson went on an eight fight win streak before losing to Evander Holyfield in 1996.<\/p>\n
