    I know Tyson was young, but Berbick wasn't great, some think he lost to a Parkinsons riddled Ali.

    Mike was a phenom though :good

    Beating a genuinely great fighter for your first world title when you're 17 years old is stupid impressive. Annoyingly impressive. I'm almost 20 and I haven't done **** in comparison. No one I know has done **** in comparison. **** Benitez.

    Career wise, probably Armstrong`s 3 title thing (maybe should have been 4 from what I`ve heard since he was supposedly robbed of winning the MW title vs Garcia) in a time where there were only 8 classes... thats ****in scary stuff, for real.

    Personal thing, Muhammad Ali beating George Foreman... that WAS the greatest :D

    Ali regaining the heavyweight title by defeating Foreman who was 40-0 (37 KOs) at the time and had destroyed guys who beat Ali. He laid on the ropes and let one of the hardest punchers of all time pound on him until he punched himself out. Not only was Foreman the heavy favorite before the fight, he was the favorite during the fight, everything was going his way until he got stopped.

    3 rounds isn`t enough tho, their 1st round was the best round ever probably but Morales v Barrera at their peaks in 2000 for 12 whole rounds was le creme... nuff said ;)

    Armstrong holding 3 of the 8 titles at one time is the greatest feat in boxing history.

    Louis knocking out Schmelling is the greatest American event in boxing history.

    Douglas knocking our the indestructible Tyson is the greatest moment in my lifetime.
