    No I already knew Mike Tyson had a lot of superfans that overrate him massively and put blinkers on.. You only have to say for example a young heavyweight might beat his youngest ever heavyweight titlist ever record, and all the fanboys start literally crying just at the thought/possibility of it. I've never know fanboys like it. And for every loss he had there's always an excuse.

    He's the most overrated boxer to ever live. he got his ass beat by Buster Douglas ffs in his so called ''unbeatable prime''

    The likes of Teddy Atlas and Deontay Wilder speak the truth on how overrated Tyson is.

    Who did Mike Tyson beat?

    His resume is atrocious. Couldn't be any worse. He was in the weakest ever heavyweight era.

    He beat good fighters, the guys he beat were better than the messes on Ajs record

    Aging larry Holmes was better than aging wlad
    Holmes went on to give Holyfield and many others tough fights years after mike knocked him out

    Spinks was a lhw, but a great fighter who mike starched

    Razor Ruddock was a very dangerous and avoided hw who would give Aj the dubouis treatment

    Tony tucker, tubbs, Thomas etc were all well schooled boxers unlike many of today's lumps. The 80s was not a terrible era and much better than the atrocious trash today.

    Of course the 90s and 70s were better, but the heavy scene this century has been trash

    Mike Tyson is only overrated among casuals.............he's pretty accurately rated by most that actually know boxing. No one says Mike is the greatest HW ever, or top 5 or top 10..................He could've been but no he wasn't, he squandered his prime.

    But for you to call Wlad (a retired one) one of Joshua's best wins but then call Holmes old Larry when he was younger than Wlad was when Wlad fought Joshua, and even after Tyson showed he had a little life left in him beating an undefeated gold medalist and then fought tooth and nail with the undisputed champion, it shows you may have a little bias..................

    A lot of people, including me, have Tyson in Top 10 HW rankings. I've seen him on Top 5 lists as well, but that's a stretch by Tyson fanboys.

    I have him in the top 10 aswell I certainly think he has a strong argument to being in the lower tier of a top 10 list I can't see top 5 though.

    I would say Holmes was comparable to Kilt. Long reigning champ that ruled an entire era, old etc. I would say that Klit had a little more in the tank at the time of the fight, although Holmes went on to fight longer after he lost.

    Wilder was like Razor Ruddock and there`s no way Dubois would have destroyed Tyson, AJ has a weak chin, Tyson took Bruno and Ruddock`s best shots.

    One of these fighters won his first 19 fights by stoppage,12 coming in the first round. One of these fighters is the Youngest ever HW Champion. One of these fighters was the first to hold all 3 titles WBA WBC IBF,only fighter to unify them in succession. One of these fighters was Undisputed. One of these fighters destroyed the Lineal champion. One of these fighters fought every Champion available in his division for there belts. The other fighter was a Matchroom poster boy who was promoted and hyped as such,nobody is saying he didn’t do well but he was never going to achieve what Matchroom lauded on him !

    One of these fighters won an Olympic Gold medal when he'd only been boxing for 5 years, and a World Championship Silver medal, one other of these fighters couldn't even win the USA Olympic trials to represent his country

    Talk about 19 fights, one of these fighters in just his 19th fight beat one of the greatest ever heavyweights in Wladimir Klitschko, one of these fighters won his first 20 fights by stoppage, so a better record than the other fighter. One of these fighters unified 3 world titles making several unified defences and is a 2 time heavyweight champion and future hall of famer. One of these fighters avenged a loss, and the other fighter could never avenge a loss. One of these fighters KO ratio is 89% which is higher than the other fighter. One of these fighters showed he could come back from being knocked down and hurt to win a fight, and another one of these fighters could never do that. One of these fighters has lost 4 times and the other fighter has lost 7 times, one of these fighters has been stopped twice and the other fighter has been stopped 5 times.

    Shot Klitschko, shot Povetkin, shot Pulev, pretty hilarious you add old Holmes, but leave out the old on the ancient guys Joshua fought.
