    Unless Wlad is the hardest hitting boxer of all times, he is at least on level with the absolute best power punchers there ever was. I agree Tyson lands more shots, but Wlad has the advantage of reach which is neat.

    Depends what criteria. H2H Tyson has it, fame Tyson has it, promoting the sport (albeit infamously) Tyson has it. When we talk about longevity and reign, Wlad kills it, and coming back from adversity Wlad has it.

    I'd say Tyson, cause I'm racist, obviously.

    but then any one of tysons title victims would go unbeaten against wlads entire title defence set.

    if they could maintain longevity and interest that long of course.

    The arguments for Mike Tyson beeing the higher ATG are still fairly weak. "Wlad hasn't fought anybode" and "ancient Larry Holmes better than todays prime top contenders" isn't very knowledgeable. Just average fanboyism.

    Which boxers Mike fought were so great and why?
