    Who is the greater fighter? We all know the resume of each fighter pretty well.

    Not enough between them for me to get excited about it - either way is fine. I voted for Tyson as I have him higher on my list.

    I have Foreman one tier before Tyson but there is not that much between them acually. Without his comeback it would be Mike.

    Foreman IMO, but McGrain has summed up my thoughts on the matter.

    Foreman. He beat an ATG in his prime. Did Mike do that?

    I can settle for either one being ranked over the other.. Foreman has claim to probably a few select wins that are better, while Tyson has more wins over ranked opponents overall.

    Fraizer was not in his prime. What other prime ATG are you talking about? :nut

    Foreman's pair of dominating wins over Frazier are light years ahead of anything Tyson even came close to accomplishing. Foreman has more depth and longevity as well.
