    Dan Rafael is a cretin! Atlas too critical of everyone for me. I think Ray Robinson is the only one he hasn't had nothing bad to say about. Who does though.

    **** Teddy Atlas. Don't even take what he says seriously, because it's all bull****. How can a sane person really believe that there are 18 heavyweights better than Mike ****ing Tyson? The guy who beat Spinks, Bruno, Biggs, Tillman, Etienne, Ruddock, Green, Tubbs, Thomas, Berbick, etc.

    He has a great resume, unified the titles on two occasions, and definitely was one of the most ferocious and vicious boxers of all time.

    I know and like Teddy but his Tyson bias is over the top and to rate him at 19 is soimply not to take Teddy seriously ... if money was on the line there would be very few who would pick more than a handful over the prime Tyson ...

    Teddy is a good analyst. He can spot things quickly most fans might gloss over. But when he gets into predictions, or specifically Mike Tyson his emotions and bias surely get the best of him. Everyone knows that. This is hardly a surprise.

    He's in another realm. At least in Teddy's realm, he knows boxing.

    Teddy Atlaz is a Tyson-Xpert. He trained him when we was 13/14/15 yrs old, so he knows Tyson v.well. "Godzilla didnt have green skin, it was just green paint" is his wise words on teh humiliating loss to Douglas.

    Bit harsh on Tyson. Okay,I've always thought Tyson overrated,but not to THAT extent.
    My view is -

    1. Ali
    2. Louis
    3. Holmes
    4. Foreman
    5. Frazier
    6. Liston
    7. Lewis
    8. Tyson
    9. Holyfield
    10.Johnson

    For a guy who criticizes him in every single post and at every opportunity to rank him at #11 suggests he's alot better than you give him credit for or you don't know enough about boxing and therefore you have no choice but to rank him at 11.
