    Just watching this video made me think about Tysons position amongst the best heavyweights.

    yes she is

    her channel manages to stay afloat due to her accessibility along iwth the fact that people are desperate to her a female talk boxing

    I used to be subbed then I listened enough to see that she talks very little about the technical ****

    I have him there, but I can see an argument for his being without.

    I have Tyson at #9.

    Anyone who doesn't have Tyson in their top 10 ATG Heavys, but includes Dempsey is crazy.

    3. Foreman
    4. Johnson
    5. Holmes
    6. Lewis
    7. Marciano
    8. Frazier
    9. Holyfield
    10. Always change my mind but it's normally between Norton and Liston. When Vitali retires I can see him being brought into the argument as well.

    H2H no doubt Tyson gets in there but achievement wise it seemed to me that when ever he met quality opposition and got frustrated he never had the discipline or maturity to handle fights in the right way

    I respect your list but how do you see a fight between Tyson and Norton going?

    Yes of course

    You have to factor in

    Skillset
    Resume
    H2H
    Acheivements

    Skillset is up there with the very best, his resume was solid (not the best, but certainly not as bad as his detractors try to make out), his acheivements in clearing out the division, unifying the titles & being the youngest HW title holder are excellent and H2H in his prime he was a BEAST
