    I did a resume transformation for Mike Tyson replacing the exact resume of another fighter with Tysons opponents. I excluded that fighters opponents and included Tysons in non chronological order. Can you guess who that fighter is?
    How would you rate this Mike Tyson in therms of H2H, Knockout Artist, and Resume?

    He started at the same age (18) in 1985, the relevant dates are marked. Until 88, he did fight the same boxers as he really did (excluding Willie Driver, take him in his prime), after 1991 I had to add other journeyman to transform it as equal as I could (No Tyson opponents). From 1995 on, the entered journeyman are not at their actual peak dates, so you can take any of them in their prime years (80s). The relevant time frame for this new resume is until 1991 anyway, so don´t let yourself get confused from the fight dates after 1995.

    I don't have a clue whatsover what you're talking about here....

    I know George Foreman fought many of the same opponents but you've lost me here.

    Your are correct, the fighters 1995 onwards are Foreman victims. You could take other fighters from the 80s/90s here, its not relevant. Don´t focus on the fighters after Lewis, focus on the fighters before including Spinks.
    I did took the Wins or Losses at the respective order and the exacts rounds, exact KO, TKO, UD etc. of a Fighter XY and then replaced the actual opponents with the most equivalent opponents Mike Tyson fought.

    For example Joe Frazier fought:

    24 Win 24–0 Jerry Quarry RTD 7 (15)
    23 Win 23–0 Dave Zyglewicz KO 1 (15)
    22 Win 22–0 Oscar Bonavena UD 15 Dec 10
    21 Win 21–0 Manuel Ramos TKO 2 (15)
    20 Win 20–0 Buster Mathis TKO 11 (15) Won vacant NYSAC heavyweight title

    So a transformation for Tyson in that time frame, with the most equal title defenses could be:

    24 Win 24–0 Larry Holmes RTD 7 (15)
    23 Win 23–0 Tony Tubbs KO 1 (15)
    22 Win 22–0 James Smith UD 15 (15)
    21 Win 21–0 Pinklon Thomas TKO 2 (15)
    20 Win 20–0 Trevor Berbick TKO 11 (15) Won vacant NYSAC heavyweight title

    I took the "frame" of a fighter you have to guess and replaced his opposition, so that every opponent should be maximum equal (H2H at that time). Of course the opponents Tyson fought are not in chronological orders, you have to change them to fit the Frame and fit the most equal opponent.

    I hope there is not to much confusion here: Guess which Boxers frame I took here.

    If Tysons resume looked like that, how would you rate him?

    Its pretty easy, you cannot see the wood from the trees :>

    1) Check the list
    2) Exclude all fighters
    3) Who got that exact wins and losses at the respective order?
    4) Try to fit in the resume of another fighter with his opponents (1995 onwords opponents are random here)
    5) Evaluate the resumes of both fighters

    Anyway, if Mike Tysons resume was like that 50 wins and 4 losses, how would you rate him?

    Well if it was Tyson s resume he wouldn't be holding the belt long. Is that correct?, he beats spinks then loses to Lewis ,have I got it right?

    I'd say pretty average really resume .looks good beating spinks but then loses to Lewis soon after. Similar in some ways though to Liston s title reign.

    Sure, just watch the resume. He streamrolled Spinks again, then lost to a young hungry Lewis. After that, he went to jail and came back in 95. Fought some journeyman and could not catch up to his former achievements, didn´t win the title back.
