    Tyson would obliterate Haye via extremely brutal anihilation.

    Tyson: Youngest hvy champ ever, got the title a year after turning pro, unified a year later, dominant for 4 years, 9 successful defenses in prime(10 overall), regained the title 6 years after losing it to have a successful defense, remains to be an icon and is a HOF'er

    Haye: last dominant CW champ, moves up to beat Valuev the tallest champ, has a couple of defenses, will soon face Wlad

    Tyson is clearly greater not just as a heavyweight but PFP. Haye doesn't have the wins Tyson did and even some of Tyson's fallen foes have a good chance to beat Haye in a fantasy bout. If Haye beats the K bros and has a couple of more defenses than yeah he's better/greater but that's wishful thinking. Even H2H Tyson rips his head off. Only illogical people and haters would say Haye is greater even if he somehow beats Wlad Foreman Hook, STOP hating Tyson for unreasonable actions? Did he do something personal to you? NO. Even my sig says dragging a fighter's name through the mud promotes them.

    Be interesting to see what results this thread would yield in the British forum.

    LMAO what an overrated 212lb light-heavyweight Spinks was!! :D

    @Heavy all Spinks did was be teh first man to beat 48-0 Old Lawrence Homer And KO white-hoper superheavy-puncher Gerry Cooney, if only he was as proven as Haye And Adamek are @Heavyweight LOL! :lol::rofl:lol: j/k

    Clearly the answer is 'no', but it doesn't really matter anyway.

    Tyson's legacy is cemented in history irrespective of his resume.

    I will say that too. Wlad is probably a better win than any of Tyson's wins, BUT Tyson was a force for much longer and many of the ones he met may have amounted to more if he hadn't annihilated them.
