    Yes, Tyson never beat a single fellow "great" marquez has, and has done it at a division above his own, plus hes been a great fighter for many, many years and wasn't "shot" in his early 20's like Tyson supposedly was

    If you've had him beating Pacquiao three times there is a good argument to be made that he's accomplished more. I consider Tyson the better fighter at their peaks though and I don't think it's particularly close.

    So the fighters Tyson has beat or better than the fighters Marquez beat. That's interesting.

    Well I think that statement of fact ends that discussion.

    how was Tyson supposed to fight the kind of competition Marquez fought at heavyweight? Muhammad Ali is the only HW with that kind of resume

    Tyson at his prime was at least fifty times the fighter Marquez is

    what a troll earl-hickey is

    why you even count the lennox or mcbride loss is beyond me, yes its a loss but tyson was just a celebrity with name power at that point.

    No.

    Tyson is the youngest to win the heavyweight title; Tyson is the only heavyweight to unify the championship one belt at a time; Tyson was the pound for pound #1 fighter for 3 straight years 87-89; Tyson completely wiped out the entire heavyweight division within 3 years.

    Tyson gets the Roy Jones Hype around here

    These days he'd be killed by a Klitschko

    I'd say that's wone of his best losses. Worst loss would be like Freddie Norwood.
