    when someone beats all the champs its hard to pick a best.

    I would say one of Spinks, Pinklon or Tucker in first career.

    afterwards, Holyfield was his chance at redemption.

    I would say ruddock because if he didn't run into tyson he would have been champion and definitely beat lewis instead of getting his ass kicked. the 2nd ruddock fight took so much out of ruddock that he devolved instantly.

    The best FIGHT of Tyson is Ruddock 2.

    Imagine running into that guy in the streets!

    When he threw water over that troll-haired thieving snake Don King. I wanted to kiss Mike on his forehead like a doting father kisses his baby son after seeing this.

    As for his fights between the ropes, I like his KO of Pinklon Thomas. Pure unbridled savagery.

    And when he sparked out a literally terrified Michael Spinks

    Ruddock probably isn’t his best Win but it’s Tyson’s most valuable one. It’s a fight that disproves a lot of arguments detractors have, such as Tyson wouldn’t fight back when up against resistance or hurt. He was hurt a few times against razor but kept coming. Without those fights it would be a lot harder to argue for Tyson.

    Yup. I particularly love the argument

    "..but but but....Tyson always lost if you stood up to him"

    Only to then respond with "go watch the Ruddock fights"
