    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.

    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
