    In terms of longevity and domination over the division Wlad is clearly above Tyson.

    Tyson although a great was a flash in the pan over a 3 year period. After the Douglas loss he was effectively just a parody of a once great fighter.

    Tyson i'd say.

    His win over spinks far outweighs anything wlad achieved. Infact his win over holmes probably betters any wlad victory because most people believe larry won the rematch.

    His wins over the beltholders are comparable to wlad's beltholder victories and this is the big difference here because wlad's best victories are probably byrd 2, chag, iggy, haye and peter 1. These are of the level of smith, berbick, tucker, seldon and bruno 2. Considering tyson was mega past prime for the last 2 and had served 3 years of jail time I think it needs taking into account.

    So mike has more to it imo. Plus the golota victory was only changed because of weed.

    If wlad keeps knocking up victories over top 5 opposition the position will change but as it is iron mike takes it for me.

    Really? That's interesting. Fancy giving an answer on the question I actually asked though, who has the better set of top wins?
