Which is the better win, Wlad's over Haye or Lewis's over Tyson?

  1. Mike Tyson is severely overrated

    Prime Tyson would have stil lost to Prime Lewis



    Mike was never in Lewis's league

    Mike Tyson never avenged any of his losses. Ever

    Obviously he couldn't have avenged against Lewis cuz he would have got ktfo again.

    But he could have attempted to fight Douglas or Holyfield and beat them the 2nd time (3rd lol) time around

    Mike had the shortest prime of any champion in the history of boxing

    Lennox Lewis had longer ring entrances then Mike Tyson's prime

    Tyson is severely overrated by Americans and it is a huge insult that he is placed even within several spots of Lennox on the ATG charts.

    he tryd to fight douglas again but holyfield took him, instead. for a so called boxing guru you dont know much about anything.. his prime was from 86-91 lost one fight, and its his own fault for being lazy, had 9 title defences, the only heavywieght in history to be p4p number1 and 3 years running too, only heavy to individuely unify all titles, first to unify all, youngest ever heavyweight champ. cleaned out a whole devision ON HIS OWN with no back up.
    yes he has been overrated in the past by people say ali ko1 ect, but now he is severly underrated by tits like you who THINK they know boxing,it seems to be in in thing now to say how shite he was, mostly by people who were not around to witness him and his fights. and those names on his resume are better than anything thats been round for while!
    i rate him above lewis for all he did, he was one of the most dominent champs ever!

    Tyson was shot to ****, at least Haye was prime.
    Haye was also perceived as a threat to Wlad (i did not agree) Tyson to anyone with any knowledge had no chance (some still bought into the hype)

    Both wins were fairly meaningless, i just think the Tyson win was worth even less.

    I'de sat Wlad over Haye because is was prime vs prime. However Lewis over Tyson was more important for an era. Alot of non boxing fans could finally recognize Lewis as the dominate champ he was. The fight should have happened much sooner, but what can you do?

    Lewis/Tyson was a ****ing cash grab.

    Haye treated the fight like a cash grab but at least he was usable.
