Was Alan Minter better than the fighters Mike Tyson beat to to win his world titles P4P?

they were at least world class, end of thread.

 

yeh i didnt actually say they were better than minter, nor do i have any need to enter that debate, its done and dead debate for me, and should be for you too.

i just said they were world class, thats all.

 

I agree Minter was a good fighter, probably just as good if not better than anyone Tyson fought in his prime other than a well past prime Holmes P4P. I wouldn't personally rate Tyson's competition or rate him higher than Hagler. Because when you look at Hagler's competition during his title run. And how that competition did against other world class competition not named Marvin Hagler . It's easy to see he fought/dominated a very good group of world class competition. And a few , Like Mugabi, Hamsho, Obejeimas, Sibson, Hearns and Roldan probably win The middle weight championship or a version of it if their was no Hagler. And also the version of Duran that Hagler fought probably would win a version of the Middle weight championship if their was no Hagler.

 

As HerolGee rightly suggested; by definition, it does, it has too.

 

The 80's had some good HW's.

They weren't mediocre, they were just so inconsistent, many of who had out of ring issues.

It was frustrating. They've always been known as the 'lost generation'

If you were to list the fighters and look at their skills, many of them were better than the non elite guys of today, such as: Stiverne, Whyte and Chisora etc.
