    my guess, he doesn't have one.

    he's remembered for being a psycho not a winner

    Hindsight is 20/20, at the time Spinks was considered the champ by many.

    I think his defining win was when he won the belts. Trevor Berbik, Pinkland Thomas and James Smith. Outside of that, I have always said Tyson is the most overrated HW in the history of boxing. He's a great one but when people put him top 10 it makes me laugh.

    Yeah, not exactly a collosal win, even though he did it in style.

    Being 20 years old and cleaning out the division, knocking out Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Trevor Berbick in 2 rounds in devastating fashion to win the title.

    Frank Bruno x2

    Razor Ruddock

    Tony Tucker

    He has a lot of good wins

    Tyson for a while had incredible skills and power, and looked as good as just about any heavyweight ever.

    His resume just doesn't stack up though. Part of that is due to his small size, part of that due to the fact that he would fade when faced with adversity.

    Trevor Berbick was the worst title holder ever.

    Worse than Ross Puritty? I think not.

    Mike did what he was supposed to do with Berbick, smash the **** out of him in 2 rounds.
