    Young got cheated out of several good wins . Was kind of a throw back. No I don’t think Tyson was the greatest fighter ever but damn he looked close to it against the competition he had. Would have been nice if he had a prime great fighter to fight at the time before he got bored.

    Good post, but those two decisive wins were against fighters that were past their peaks, Norton and Young. But they were wins.
