    I placed the Holy fight higher based on the reports that came out afterwards, the man trained for ****, at least for Holyfield he was up for it.

    The correct answer, oh Godly one, is Buster Douglas.

    The man was seen as invincible up until that shocker.

    And invincibility was a big part of Mike's arsenal.

    DOuglas beat him when he had 'invincibility.'

    None of the others did.

    That others subsequently managed the feat is all well and good.


    But Douglas did it when many thought it couldn't be done.

    Douglas did the best job, cause Tyson was a myth there, seemed to be unbeatable.

    1. Buster
    2. Holyfield

    The Lewis-fight was just sad, only a delusional Lennox-fanboy (ESB has it's share of them) would give him credit for beating Tyson.

    Douglas, easily. This was the time when Tyson didn't think he could lose. Holyfield's win seemed great because Holy was written off at the time, but let's keep some realism: Tyson was winning in the early rounds and had his best round in the 5th. Holyfield fouled him twice in the 6th and THEN turned the fight around. I assume he would have worn down Tyson late without the fouls, but it wasn't a fair dominatíon like Douglas. Also, we know now that Tyson wasn't that good anymore post prison.

    Douglas didn't " own " Tyson in the sense of the word i know, he took some huge shots himself and was badly hurt.
    The correct answer here, fanboy or not is Lewis as it was a one sided battering, albeit against a shadow of Tyson. Holyfield did a great job on a faded Tyson and obviously Douglas win was the best of the three.

    Buster was the only one to get anything like the real Tyson

    Holyfield was a dirty ******* ( and likely drug cheat ) fighting an already heavily faded Tyson and Lewis feasted on a corpse.

    Not even remotley close

    Tyson was finished by the time Lewis fought him, however if we include Lewis then why not Danny Williams as well? I'd say: 1.Douglas 2.Holyfield 3.Danny Williams 4.Lewis (he needed 8 rounds to KO a finished Tyson)
