    Douglas beat Tyson fair and square, but the answer is still Tyson.
    Lewis and Wlad get passes for getting brutally ko’d, both more than once, whilst Tyson goes 45-1, with prison sentence, against good opposition, but getting ko’d once = ‘Tyson was a myth’

    I literally said he was in his prime in the post that you quoted. I also said he hardly trained for the fight.

    No need to be so sensitive about this. It’s just boxing.

    Evander sure did have a great cruiser run which can hardly be ignored. Then afterwards, a good heavyweight run.

    Not sensitive. Desensitised by boxing these days.

    Not training is not an excuse though. You don’t get a pass for being lackadaisical or too arrogant. Hubris in a fighter is just as big a flaw as poor footwork, glass jaw, or poor stamina imo.

    I think you just need another thread. For example, Tokyo Tyson vs.... and here I think we can put, for example, Tokyo Mike vs. Ferguson Prime.
    I'm going with Jesse right now
