    Is He An ATG?
    Youngest Ever Heavyweight Champion?
    Unified the belts...in the ring?
    Beat Larry Holmes (ATG) who later went onto give a prime holyfield a good fight,
    Beat Mike Spinks (ATG) who many picked as beating Tyson
    2 time world champion
    spent 3 years in prison and came back to win 2 belts
    Lost to 2 of the best fighters of his era AFTER spending 3 years in prison (and he was shot BEFORE going to prison)
    Lewis's most celebrated win? Holyfields most celebrated win? Douglas's 5mins of fame? one name MIKE TYSON
    Only person to KO Larry holmes
    When people talk about the greatest, they say Ali and Tyson
    and they say that for a reason....

    3rd greatest HW of all time. I'd say he's an ATG.

    Yea he did. 3 out of the 4 fights Muhammad Ali was knocked down in, he won. The exception being of course Joe Frazier.

    Tyson is a ATG, destroyed nearly of put whom was put in front of him forget douglas his head wasnt there for that fight plus the time he spent in prison took away his sharpness. I think tyson during his prime would of beat most of the other ATG heavyweights with his raw power,hand speed and head movement.

    Larry Holmes wouldn't win a belt if he fought today? :think

    I'd say that even Tucker and Bruno would definitely have a chance of winning a belt at HW if they fought today.

    38+ Larry Holmes? No he wouldn't. Tucker and Bruno were good fighters but they would be defeated by the current belt holders.
