[Video] The man who kept Tyson from being a top 10 ATG.

Tyson's Holmes,Spinks and Tucker wins look very underrated nowadays.
True Holmes was 38 years old against Tyson but his 42 years old version went the distance with Holyfield
and he was competitive.
I think some Tyson haters use double standard again and again. They bring this 38 years old Holmes thing
but they ignore the Holy version Holmes' age (42).
Spinks beat- the younger than 38 years- Holmes two times and these wins are better than Holyfield's full eighties heavyweight carrier but Tyson destroyed the Holmes beater Spinks easily this proves he would beaten
a younger Holmes also.

Tyson beat Tucker in 1987 who went the distance with Lewis in 1993 and he could chase the tired Lewis.
I think the 1987 version Tucker would have beaten the 1993 version Lennox Lewis' .

All in all Tyson beat the best fighters (Tucker,Holmes,Spinks) in his prime era (1985-Douglas loss 1990).
Basically in this era (prime Tyson) Lewis and Holy did nothing remarkable in the heavyweight division.
Honorable mention: Tyson's prime era wasn't so short like some haters suggest.

 

Holyfield was the most formidable contender of Tysons title reign. Tyson not fighting and beating undermines the claim he cleaned out his era.

 

As I've pointed out repeatedly Tyson could have fought Lewis earlier when he was still in his prime.
