You think Mike Tyson KO5 over Frank Bruno was one of his best performances? Why? I thought that was one of his worst showings. Sure it was exiting and Tyson came out on top but he showed so many holes in his game. He was not the tyson of old. Standing straight up with no head movement throwing haymakers

 

Tyson is way way waaaaay overrated and overhyped.

 

Vitali, Tyson & Ruddock are all in your top 10 yet none of them feature in Lewis' best wins?

W Klit.
Greg Page ( in shape beats anyone)
Witherspoon (see above)

Holyfield

Briggs

 

Tyson was shot, Vitali was robbed and Ruddock was never that good.

 

How was Vitali robbed? Half of his face was dangling off the bones...besides Lewis was coming on strong, and would no doubt have stopped Qitaly inside the next 3 rounds....
Robbed...!

 

Lewis 41(32)-2 KO Tyson/ Draw Holyfield/ KO Briggs

Holyfield 44(29)-10 UD Foreman/ TKO Moorer/ KO Tyson
Foreman 76(68 )-5 KO Frazier/ KO Moorer/ KO Frazier
Helenius 18(11)-0 KO Brewster/ KO Liakovich/ KO Peter
Pulev 18(10)-0 KO Adamek/ KO Dimitrenko/ KO Ustinov
Holmes 69(44)-6 KO Cooney/ TKO Ali/ UD Berbick
Byrd 41(22)-5 UD Tua/ KO Thunder/UD Oquendo


Not their signature wins, but the fights in which they looked their best.

H2H, Vitali may be higher than Tyson, and Holmes might be better than Pulev, but tough to say H2H since Holmes best wins came against old Ali, which was a great performance, but Pulev would dismantle and stop him similarly.

Also, speculating on Pulevs KO over Adamek. Aint seen it yet, but we can all predict it should be a dominant performance all the same.

 

Well, you could make an arguement that Lewis' defeat of Tyson was impressive.. But.. He just has so many other good performances, so I decided not to take Lewis' destruction of Tyson's corpse.. Ruddock.. Yeah maybe a good one, should probably have chosen it.
Didn't chose Vitali because Lewis certainly didn't look good in that fight.

 

Maybe I should check the fight again.. But I believe that I scored all the rounds for Tyson, and he stopped him in 5..
