    No, they are just bad.
    Which would you consider top level?

    All Tyson's challengers weren't that great either don't you agree?? I'm sure you won't agree for some strange reason....

    Because you think ive got a bias towards him?
    I haven't, that would be childish.
    Based on the resume and the performances I say hes one of the best ever at the measurable art of kayoing opponents. If not the best.
    You say different? fine, tell me who was better at it. just back it up with solid facts, evidence and fair comparison and its valid.

    Jimmy Young: 10th fight coming off a loss. Wouldn't be rated for another couple years.
    Roy Williams: Not rated.
    Ken Norton: Not rated in Rings Annual Ratings for 79. In the dismal stretch run of his career.
    Jeff Sims:Who the **** ever rated Jeff Sims?
    Jimmy Ellis: That's the one and only guy who made the ratings that Shavers KO'd.

    Malik Scott? Is this serious?

    Now, Tyson had 10 KO's over guys ranked the same year in Ring's Annual Ratings. Shavers had 1. Wilder, so far, has 0.

    Do you wanna go back and erase this post? It's highly damaging for your credibility.

    Almost nobody would debate that Tyson was a signifiucantly better fighter, & more effective Ko artist, than Shavers. It is not even close.

    Almost certainly Shavers hit harder.
    Hard to find ANYONE who faced Shavers who did not say he hit the hardest ever.
    i doubt we need to repeat again all the many skills that go into KOs.

    Jimmy Young - went on to give Ali and other fighters nightmares and beat George Foreman which makes him a top fighter.

    Roy Williams - had just fought Larry Holmes in a preliminary on the Ali and Young fight.

    Ken Norton - had just gone life and death in narrowly losing the title to Larry Holmes and had just won by knockout so was definitely rated.

    Jeff Sims - was rated in the top ten around the time he fought Shavers.

    Malik Scott - the fight was a WBC title eliminator in which Wilder would go on to win.

    Thank you come again.....

    Shavers and Wilder being compared to Tyson is laughable.

    Not only does he have more quality KOs than both of them combined, he would also knock both of them out within a couple of rounds each. Probably on the same night
