    Tyson had fast legs, and was overall much faster and better.

    End this ridiculous thread.

    I think Lacy had moe heart and probably a better chin. I can't really imagine Tyson taking Calzaghe's whirlwind thousand slap combo for twelve rounds and to still remain standing.

    Well the TS has a point.
    Everyone thought Lacy was a monster until Calzaghe school him. Then people realised that maybe hes not all that great. Thats the logical response.

    For some reason people didnt have this response when Tyson was knocked silly by Buster Douglas and beaten up twice by Holyfield.

    People still hold Tyson up as some phenom,when most of his fights were against nobodies.

    I rank him higher than Lacy,sure,but the overall theme is very similiar
