    Tyson in a H2H sense is better then Lewis but to say he has a better resume, ie the measure of ATGness, is bull****. Tyson was phenomenal in his prime but it was so short lived as to barely be worth mentioning. He lacked discipline and got caught up in his own hype. Really he might have gone down as one of the greatest HWs ever if he was dedicated but he wasn't. So since he never really reached whta he could have been I refuse to put him up higher then someone who actually worked for it. I mean he lost to Douglas for shits sake and Lewis is 10X the boxer of Buster. So how do you know Lewis couldn't do the same damn thing. Oh but he didn't prepare for that fight that's because he never freaking prepared for any fight. This over rating of Tyson is ridiculous. Now do I think Lewis is top 3 HW no I put Ali, Louis, and marciano above him. As for Foreman and Frazier ehh I could see putting them up above him but I probably wouldn't have them both and personally I don't really want to say either necessarilly deserve it. Oh and I amost forgot Holmes so I'd rank him around 5th. I could see going to like 8th or so. Definately deserves the top 10 though.

    I guess they must have Danny Williams. Due to the liniage of his win.

    Williams beat Tyson who beat Holmes who beat Ali who beat Frazier and Foreman.


    Go Danny Williams i suppose.

    I put him at 11-15 because of his 2 KO losses to "good" not great competition, and for not rematching Vitali. After all the trash talk to cower out of the fight I dislike him. He does have a good record though (i'm not blind with hatred) and thus I did put him 11-15.
    I know some will say that certain HW's whom rank higher have more losses, etc, etc, BUT those fighters also had a lot more fights, fought in a different time, fought fights more often, took on all comers, etc.
