tyson my belifs why we underate him

:thumbsup

 

I think the fighters who could give a prime Tyson a go would be Ali, Lewis, Foreman, Liston and Holyfield. Of those TYson is likely to win some and loose some, but regardless, that puts him in the top 5 H2H in my opinion. Could he be #1 h2h, I don't know the answer, I think anyone of these fighters could potentionally beat him, but they might not.

But as to where he ranking in terms of boxing history and accomplishments I think he's just inside the top 10.

So in terms of where someone rates Tyson, to some extent on what criteria you're using. If it's H2H it's a different rating than if it's based on longivity and career accomplishments.

 

Anyone who has Tyson out of the top 10 ATG is underrating him .

Anyone who has Tyson in the top 5 ATG is overrating him.

No HW Who won a title within one year and seven months at age 20 who till this day is the only HW to unify every significant belt of his era in the ring and damn near cleaned out the top 10 hw contenders of his era in the 80s can be ranked out side the top 10.

 

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

:good

 

Same with me. IMO he sits just out side the top 10.:good

 

It is so passe and so predicable for people to say that Ali was the greatest ever heavyweight. Good Post.:good

 

Tyson had a very low fighters IQ. He could never adapt as you said, to his work being nullified and he never ever turned a losing situation into a winning one.

He was borderline ******ed out of the ring as well. He is over-rated to be at 11. He is definately top 20 minimum in terms of achievements of all time.
