Tyson v Hamed are they comparable

ok,its just a thought ive had,im not sure if it has been discussed before but i'm wondering can we compare these two great fighters in terms of their achievements,and another is does hamed's abilities and achievements get downgraded by tyson's.is tyson overrated or is hamed underrated basically.

both extremely young champions.

both destroyed all comers early on.

both had great attributes and very defining styles.

both had meteoric rises and of course falls.

both lost to the only real elite fightes they competed against.

are they polarised because of the hate for hamed,the love for tyson.

or am i totally out of order and should not be mentioning the two names together?

 

just as hamed under ingle was a potential ATG.

its a reasonable question i asked and i think you answered the very last part of it for me!

what elite, i mean absolutly 'elite' competition did tyson beat?

 

add to the fact that tyson was beaten by much lesser competition than hamed,we have an even more interesting topic.

please dont hate,it's a perfectly reasonable question,im not tying to incite hate in any way,just asking.

 

tyson was destroyed by buster douglas,can he ever compare to MAB?

 

that is nuthuggery imo,no way would buster have beaten holyfielf or lewis at any stage.

 

yea,he was boxing because of a marketing tool,in the 1990s in the uk,hamed was boxing,he had incredible unorthodox skills and h2h under ingle it's hard to think of anyone who could have beaten,and adding to the fact hamed's title winning range and also how is power was transferrable up weight speaks volumes in my opinion.

tyson is not an ATG,imo if he is then so is hamed who was only less popular to him not being in the global frontier as much as tyson.

yes,but did tyson sacrifice his legacy by going on to get beat by (sorry not just beat by but made to look very average) lewis (im sory for adding this as i dont think its too legitimate but at least hamed knew when to bow out) and holyfield?

 

im just trying to make comparisons,my opinion is both were truly truly great fighters who the fans were robbed off in a greater capacity,i just want to see credit where credit is due and also the fact i think that too much emphasis is placed upon tyson H2H ability.
