What is the best spot for Mike Tyson's spot in the 1990's? The 1990's was loaded with talent. Lewis Ike Holyfield Morrer Bowe Tyson Morrison Foreman Mercer Where would you place Tyson? I am thinking 4th or 5th.
1. Bowe 2. Lewis (He is my #1 for the 2000's and is higher than Bow in my all-time rankings, but Bowe was better in the 90's 3. Holyfield 4. Tyson In a prime for prime match up Tyson would win I also think he would have won in 91. However I do my best to use reality in my rankings and the fact is Holyfield won both their fights. 5. Foreman
Bowe#1? Over Lewis, who not only beat Holyfield, but also many of the other top 90's guys like Mercer, and Morrison?
1. Holyfield 2. Lewis 3. Bowe 4. Tyson 5. Foreman 6. Moorer 7. Mercer 8. Morrison 9. Ike Holyfield and Lewis are a tough call, Lewis won head to head but that was not the best Holyfield...
I would say 1. Lewis 2. Holyfield 3. Bowe 4. Tyson 5. Ike 6. Morrer 7. Morrison 8. Foreman 9. Holmes 10. Mercer Honorable mention: Tua, Byrd, Hide, V. Klitschko, McCall, Rahman. Mercer is tough for me to place.Maybe he should rate higher, but he did have some poor losses.
By the end of the decade Lewis was the better boxer with Bowe last fighting in 96. Up to that time Bowe was in my opinion better than Lewis. Were talking 7 years compared to 90-96 to 3 years 97-99. Even if you give Lewis 96. The year bowe fought Golota than it is still 6 years for Bowe and 4 for Lewis.
