    He is overrated on this board most here consider him a top five HW of all-time most boxing writers and historians consider him 25.

    So that's Ring Magazine's opinion. It's no more right than your opinion that he's overrated.

    Argumentative wise, who do you have ranked ahead of Tyson at HW?

    I am not a historian (lol) but without much thought I'd rank him somewhere between 8-15.

    My word: Unique.

    I can think of about 4 who rank above him. I'd like to see who some of these guys who don't have him in the top 5 (perhaps even 10) can name that I'm either discrediting or not thinking of.

    Ok, if we're talking about all-time greats, then i rank the following above Tyson:

    Joe Louis
    Jack Dempsey
    Muhammad Ali
    Joe Frazier
    George Foreman
    Larry Holmes
    Evander Holyfield
    Lennox Lewis

    So that would make Mike #9 :thumbsup
