Tyson's speed and punching power makes him fan favourite for many including me. The 80's Tyson was a joy to watch then and even now.

However, the truth is Tyson only faced 2 serious boxers; Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis and unfortunately both kicked his a**e big time. He however, popularised boxing worldwide and created pay per view as we know it today.

Tyson was never a boxer, however, he could have gone well in todays MMA.


That is a joke right? So there was nver a serious boxer when Tyson was at his prime?

You took words right out of my mouth @McReggae!!! Let's forgive @Obi and assume he is one of those fellows who only know Tyson, Lennox and Holyfield. Otherwise this must be the joke of the day!!!


Obi wants us to believe Evander and Lennox were the only serious fighters coz they beat Tyson and fought into the early 2000s thus many people remember them!

Boxer W L D
Evandaer 44 10 2...pathetic
Lennox Lewis 41 2 1 .....descent

The boxers who had no chance against iron Mike;
Trevor Berbick 49 11 1
Larry Homes 69 6 0...look at those number of wins.
Tony Tubbs 47 10 0
Michael Spinks 31 1....only lose was to Iron Mike and then he retired, he had never fallen to the canvas before he met Iron Mike
Frank Bruno 40 50 0...compare to Evander!

That you did not watch these fighters in the ring does not mean beating them was a mean achievement!!!!

You made a small typographical error. That should be

40 5 0
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

@Mcreagge,

Anyone challenging a world champ will have a decent record with so many wins yada yada. That does not make them Great, just goodish. Probably every fighter who challenges for a world title have such records, so those numbers mean nothing.

How many of those you listed are considered to be top 25 heavyweight boxers of all time, or even top 50? probably a pre-Tyson Larry Holmes, the rest are as I said earlier Journeymen.

Michael Spinks was a light Heavyweight who moved to heavyweight due to a lack of class fighters in that category, when tyson checked in, he was fodder.
