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. In fact In This content is protected , released in 2002, Tyson was ranked at #72.:deal
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
