    Of Course, accomplishment wise he falls a little short because of the way he screwed up his career.

    But H2H he beats most of them.

    The only guy who i confidently pick to beat Tyson, is Ali.

    Even after the Douglas loss, his pre prison career was fine, he was 42-1. Its his whole post prison record which is garbage. His best 2 wins were Bruno and Golota and i guess Botha was decent. I think his post prison record was something like 11-6-2

    People seem to downgrade Tysons win over Holmes, i think it holds just as much as weight if not more, than Lewis win over Holyfield.

    Lennox is greater than Mike because of how he handled his career and finished it out on top, i rank Lewis very highly and Tyson isnt too far behind. Majority of Tysons best wins are also Lewis' What seperates them is Lewis wins over Briggs, Tua and Vitali
