Prime hell yeah, career debatable.
the internet is a funny place
I cant even IMAGINE
this question even being ASKED in personwhy/how this clown is still allowed to created threads here...
Fixed.
On the real though, if you lived through Mike's career, you probably wouldn't be asking this question.....Mike was vicious...
I did some Googling and EVERYONE's list has him top 8-10. Couldnt find one that didnt and those people live off Covering the sport.
Holyfield and Lennox below him doesn't make a lick of sense.
@krackdagawd @patscorpio ????
Intentions and potential don't matter in life, it's about your results. With Tyson it's always a lot of shoulda, coulda, woulda talk.Yes, he's top 10. I don't want to make excuses but he was robbed of years in his prime and he was never going to be the same after that. He never was. He was still a tough muthafukka and could beat most heavyweights but you can't lose years like that and then expect to beat Evander and Lewis.
He was wasting his talents prior to the Douglas fight tho. death hit him hard out here drinking and fukking whores not giving a fukk... probably got robbed in the fight too, Douglas was down for 10
In terms of overall body of work, if he did rank top 10 it would probably be 10th. I could see people leaving him just outside that level.
In terms of his skills and ferocity and dominance? Easily top 10.
Mike Tyson is arguably one of the top 5 or 10 most interesting athletes of the last century, period. There’s a reason why so many people still are interested in him decades after his prime.

Mitch Green is more famous for getting beating up outside of the ring by Tyson then in it.

He wasnt scared by the Aura of mike either and you see that shyt went ten. He sucked as a fighter but not being scared let him stay in the fight for ten. And he wasnt just holding and running

It only took nearly 7 years for Green to get back into the ring after the Tyson fight

As a heavyweight it makes sense, but all-time p4p Evander has to be ahead of him. Evander started out as a cruiser and had a great career there before moving up so his HW resume isnt quite as strong. Even though its still very very close.
This is such a lazy ass way to judge a boxer.
Who cares about his run up to the title?
They aren’t known because he destroyed them all. That’s the same story for just about every great fighter ever.
Who was Roy Jones fighting before his first title? You wanna look at that list?
You’re talking about Tyson being exposed after his loss to Douglas as if there weren’t a shyt ton of factors that affected Mike Tyson post-Cus and post-Jim Jacobs.
And I know.
“Bbbbut y’all making excuses”
No jackass. It’s about adding context.

Um Roy went on to fight other great fighters and won.. so his leadup doesnt matter one bit. Mikes does because thats what all his dikkriders want to use to to show his greatness. His Prime. The Cus years..
fukk the factors everybody has issues Ali had issues he didnt fight for 5 years and still after fought other great fighters and won.. so kill the excuses. Especially excuses that were due to his own immaturity.

Top 3 boxing talent of all time
Id probably put him as the 10th all time heavyweight if we talking about resumes, opponents, durability etc..
