put 20 year old Tyson in the ring with any other 20 year old in history, boxing or otherwise, and see what happens lol. Tyson up until the Spinks fight was unbeatable, regardless of age of the other fighter actually. I just mentioned 20 vs 20 to illustrate his prime, regardless how short it was.
All time GOAT for primes, I have Ali #1, Louis #2, Tyson #3. Tyson in his prime was head and shoulders above Lewis, Holyfield, Dempsey, Marciano, anyone you'd care to mention.
H2h tyson loses against all the former greats except the super old timey guys like jack johnson, tunney, dempsey Joe louis would ****ing steam roll tyson H2H. Frazier would put him in a bodybag in under 2.
Lmao, lewis and holyfield both destroyed tyson. How is tyson going to rank higher? Marciano? Equally weak resume.
Forza said in another thread that Hopkins had no amateur career, to discredit Roy's win... He is foolish.
Tyson at his best, H2H, presents possible problems for anyone... And has a chance against any heavyweight in history, and that is a fact. Though he isn't the greatest, H2H , he is right there.
That's not even close to what I meant. :hey Look at Tyson's other percentages as a fighter. His defenses. His fights against ranked opponents. His opponents' records. KO % against top fighters. They easily rival any other heavyweight great. Look up Monte Cox and his rankings of the heavyweight greats. I don't agree with him at times but he has the numbers to prove the naysayers wrong.
