    if you are talking about Pacman, no Tyson is not greater than him, but he is against Mayweather who has not looked for great challenges.

    Tyson is spoken of by boxing experts and veterans in the same sentences as greats like Ali, Joe Louis and Patterson.


    The only person mentioning Mayweather in those sentences is Mayweather himself.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. is the Larry Holmes of his era.

    Tyson would have knocked out Mayweather in one round.

    Alex Stewart was a good fighter.

    Ruddock was a top contender.

    Bruno and Seldon were champions.

    Those are not bums.

    Mayweather miles above Tyson

    why? Because Mayweather has one thing Tyson never had: Discipline.

    Tyson never faced a fighter =2 or greater than Corrales, Marquez, Mosely or even De La Hoya. Tyson is one of the most overrated fighters in the history of the sport, maybe of all sports period. he never faced anyone that was truely his equal or even an underdog to. He got man handled by Busted Douglas in his prime and got humiliated by Lennox. He comes nowhere near the level of Mr. Mayweather.
