I just wanted to ask who fought better competion in their careers Mike Tyson or the Klitchko brothers. I know everyone is complaing that the heavyweight division is so bad right now, but when Tyson was fighting the only good fighter were Holyfield, Bowe and Lewis and Tyson only fought Holyfield.:yep
This, also better than anyone Vitali ever fought, (Lewis does'nt count because Tyson also fought him) you could also add Bruno, Smith, Berbick, Williams, these guys were'nt even that good but their still better wins than anyone of the Brothers wins, because the era is that bad ( thats not the brothers fault )
Add Ruddock, Bruno, Berbick, and Golota. Bottom line he lost to Lewis and Holyfield, the two greats on his resume albeit far past prime in Lewis case. Besides Holyfield and Lewis, I would not say Tony Thompson, Eddie Chambers, Rahman, Peter, Austin, Brewster are of a lower skill level than the fighters you have listed. That is a huge question, not no question.
I defiantly would say they are much easy competion, than Tyson's without question. P.S : I can't believe I forgot to mention Ruddock early atsch
Tyson last 8 fights prior to Douglas loss and downfall vs Klitschko last 8 fights: Carl Williams -- Sam Peter Frank Bruno -- Eddie Chambers Michael Spinks -- Ruslan Chagaev Tony Tubbs -- Hasim Rahman Larry Holmes -- Tony Thompson Tyrell Biggs -- Sultan Ibragimov Tony Tucker -- Lemon Brewster Pinklon Thomas -- Ray Austin James Smith -- Calvin Brock I'd say Klitschko
The 7 high lighted are clearly better the other 2 are up to debate, it should'nt really be a question if you know their history and have watched them fight.
