    you obviously weren't around to see tyson in his prime. without the personal problems, if he had kept the frame of mind he had in his early years he would have been the GOAT HW easily.

    guys who use the word overrated on this board are in fact overrated

    just remember when tyson was kicking all these guys asses and taking their belts he was 22 years old and under. it was unheard of what he was doing....

    Really funny. Lennox Lewis was in his prime vs. Tyson and a couple of months later he was already shot vs. Klitschko.

    just like roy jones was in his prime against ruiz and 2 fights later he was KOd
    most of the time you just hit the wall when you dont have it anymore...its not a slow progression

    Lewis was past-prime vs. Tyson.

    Tyson was WELL past prime though.

    I wasn't around in Tyson's prime but since then i have seen his prime fights. I think those who WERE around in Tyson's prime overrate him because of how big a media sensation he was then.

    Who is the best fighter Tyson has beaten? I mean what is his best win when he was in his prime?

    I mean he beat Berbick in 1986, but he also struggled against James Tillis the same year

    Most people place his prime from 1986 to 1989

    True. Tyson was a formidable foe against the likes of Bruno, Biggs, Bonecrusher, etc. They were hardly A-level fighters.
