    Lewis and Holyfield, with special consideration to Holmes.

    It's a bit tough tbh. I been watching a lot of Tyson fights.

    Two really do stand out for me. The Ruddock wins. EVERYBODY avoided Ruddock. That was true. Tyson beat him twice. The first one might have been stopped a bit early, but there was no way Tyson was gonna lose anyways.

    Tyson showed the most courage I seen during those two Ruddock Fights .So those really do need to be factored in.




    That being said, the TWO SHAVERS fights Holmes had was also underrated. The knock down that Holmes crawled up from would have left Lennox or Wlad semi dead.

    Who can get up from that?

    It don't matter.

    H2H Wise. Tyson will always be top 1-3. He just barely missed the 'boat' as people said.

    If he was born a few years later and his prime was during the 90's. It would have been an entirely different story.

    March 22, 1987 was a wonderful day. :happy

    Holmes is my 3rd favorite HW of all-time. :deal

    And yes, the Ruddock fights are my absolute favorite of Tyson. First boxing match I'd ever seen live, actually.

    Couple of Interesting facts.

    1- Frank Bruno actually hurt Tyson, Tyson's rate of recovery was extremely fast. I saw that fight and was really impressed by how Tyson dominated after he got hurt.

    2- Douglas was technically 'knocked out' from that upper cut.

    3- Wladimir will be right up there with everyone by the time he's done.
    Assuming his glass chin don't show up again.
