I agree but you should take Roy Jones off that list too and replace him with Holyfield. Jones was another that made a big name whippin bums and retired firefighters late night on HBO.

I would never put Rocky Marciano above Tyson or Holyfield
But Tyson said the same of Ali. He knew he didn’t have the heart to beat someone like Ali.
I was. As far as physical ability Tyson is top 5, but ultimately fighting comes down to heart and everytime Tyson was really pushed he failed.
the point is, how many fighters did Ali say something like that about? I imagine it wasn’t many....
There is a reason everyone ranks Tyson was one of the GOATs. If his personal life didn’t go to shyt his resume would have been on some Floyd level shyt.
He's 0-2 against hard drugs
You know they have a subforum called The Ring for this discussion, right?

The prime years tyson missed out on were way worse than the prime years tyson missed out on plus ali could still train because he didn't actually go to prison unlike Mike.
And even when ali came back his footwork wasn't the same. Mike on the other hand was a sadder thing to see because his head movement was GONE after prison. That was a huge part of his game.
Admittedly Foreman had a style that gave him More longevity between the three of them.

Complete myth.
To the thread. Tyson isn't even a Top 5 HW much less Top 5 P4P.
People will make every excuse in the world for a fighter that lost to every great fighter he ever stepped in the ring with, and got dominated and KO'd each time.
there's no need for any if's. his career was what it was. personal discipline outside of the ring and the ability to deal with what you have going on is just as much a part of it as the actual fighting. if "what if" was included with every athlete they all woulda been the greatest. Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden may have been the greatest at their positions if their personal lives were better. Roy Tarpley might've been one of the GOATS at power forward "if his personal life didn't go to shyt." they all have personal lives to deal with and it's not like everyone BUT Tyson had it sweet.
what we know is what actually happened. Douglas, Holyfield twice, and Lewis. Never fought Riddikk Bowe.
he is has less testosterone than me..so keep him here.You know they have a subforum called The Ring for this discussion, right?

The fact that you have Tyson ahead of Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, two fighters who both kicked Tyson's ass(seriously the fights weren't close, especially Holyfield v Tyson 1, they all on youtube for you to see) is
