If Holmes beats Tyson, I don't think people look at Tyson nearly the same.
I'd go with the 70's. the fights, the talent, the popularity.
I'd assume Holloway is going up to 155 permanently from here.
McKee might've plateaued. Paul Hughes is the real deal as well.
I'd argue DC's bronze at the World Championship is more impressive then anything Alex did kickboxing wise. Understandably two completely different...
Yes, DC totally didn't have a career in any combat sports prior to MMA. None.
Off the top of my head these are all great... Jones/Gus I Hendo/Shogun Hunt/Bigfoot I Aldo/Mendes II Silva/Sonnen I Diaz/Daley Fedor/CroCop...
Who is Alex beating in their prime?? Izzy 1-4. (the one win is Alex) Strickland lost his very next fight after Alex. Jiri had to vacate the title...
14 fights in Jon was 23, and manhandling the greatest light-heavyweight to live at the time. He then cleared the division of every former champion...
Pereira is an incredible striker benefitting from a weak era at LHW, and great matchmaking. He would've matched up terribly vs. a DC or Jon.
Holmes had one of the best jabs in boxing history, and 100% a better jab then Ali.
Mayer outboxed Ryan all night, but was still a great fight.
