    What you said was that the fact that he was the youngest champion in history alone would have him at or around the top 10. That's ****. Nobody is saying the accomplishment isn't noteworthy or a factor.

    I'm almost certain that Longcount was being sarcastic at that point.

    That's surely not the only reason Tyson makes the short list but it's certainly a part of the reason. Same with Forman, same with Patterson, Holy, etc.

    it only becomes a factor if the fighter gets even better after that point. Tyson didn't - he declined. Unifying the belts is noteworthy, beating the opposition in the manner he did is noteworthy, but his losses also factor into it.

    Your logic is flawed. Go to take a cool shower, calm down a little bit. You'll soon realise that this is all just frivolous conversation and unimportant in the grand scheme of things. You'll enjoy discussing boxing a lot more with that mindset.

    I didn't request one.

    Facts are facts & I'm right he's wrong. :D I still never said Vitali was #1 head to head, I said Vitali was a tough fight for any HW in history though.

    Nor did Longcount?


    No, but you said Tyson would be in and around the top 10 purely based upon the fact that he was the youngest HW title holder. You've since withdrawn it. The only reason we're still talking about it is your last couple of posts.

    You're not doing very well at it. You just come across angry.

    Ruskull, a sensible discussion with Britons on Vitali Klitschko is not possible. They hate him with a passion.
