    Sanders stretching Tyson?

    Tyson would have dropped hm like a bad habit.

    I bet you haven't even seen the Botha fight. Oh and Botha was a better boxer than Sanders.

    I know you love the Klits, but don't blow up their opposition. Just like you believe Sam Peter has a chance against Rid**** Bowe.

    Outside of Wladmor, Sanders did nothing of note.

    Oh he did beat Mike Sprott.

    How is Tyson and Holyfields resume weak?

    Both are top 8 resume wise at heavyweight.

    Both were reaches but Holyfield was getting ragged on here a couple weeks ago for his losses and lack of ATG wins at heavy. Plenty of folks do the same re Tyson.

    Holyfield lost to Bowe and Moorer, both whom he beat.

    Tyson lost to Douglas, Holyfield and Lewis, 2 of those are ATGs.

    If anyone wants, i can elaborate further on why Tysons resume is top 6 at heavyweight.

    Lomachenko, Rigondeaux, Paul Spadafora, Hamed (relatively speaking), Forrest, Demetrius Andrade.

    It could be because all three are not rated very highly in a head to head sense couldnt it?

    Sanders >>> Botha. Beat him four times in the ams, with 2 ko's over him. The same Botha that was taking care of business against Tyson, flat-out outboxing him. Unfortunately Botha got ****y and Tyson made him pay for it.

    Never heard of Wladmor.

    Vitali, GGG, and Rigo's H2H statuses are well beyond their resumes for me. Hopefully the latter two get the necessary fights for that to even out the gap.

    You rate Marciano head to head against heavyweights or do you mean against cruisers?

    I would have to say in a pre 70's era, butterbean from the mid/late 90's would also be a handful,you had a guy 5'9 230 SLOPPY slow guy drop Louis,and was considered a legend in boxing in Tony gallento a guy who was crocked in half his fights...I would believe a 6'300 pounder with a good chin and speed with better skills would be possibly a threat to anyone who was careless,he had that power.Take into consideration he was levels over McNeeley who got a shot at Tyson.He certainly wouldn't be the best vs tall moving fighters but certainly he to his credit only lost one fight withing 4 rounds but went on a 20 win streak after...I believe hes certainly not overatter but more underatted,watch some of his knockout highlite reels.


    I make my argument that people call Gallento one of the best of his era,so what doesthat make the Butterbean?Surly no one thinks the likes of a 5'9 drunk less effective fighter and outweighed by 70 pounds ranks over him?I actually think he would do well in the 70's too..Quarry k.od shavers in one round,not to many opponets are still standing who slug it out with him.
