Realistically Mike Tyson belongs no where near the top 5

[UncleTomFord15]

Mike tyson isn't even top 10 in terms of heavyweights, might not even be top 15 either tbh.
Ali
Foreman
Lennox
Larry Holmes
Joe Louis
Jack Johnson
Holyfield
Joe Fraizer
Shavers
Gerry c00ney
Ken Norton
Jerry Quarry
Ron Lyle
Wlad Klitschko
Dempsey
Sonny Liston

All faced and won against better competition of their time than mike tyson did, everyone he fought who wasn't a scrub he lost to. Except for a flabby Larry Holmes.

 

[I AM WE ARE]

Why is this here ander again with this
No he's not top 5, Tyson himself said he wasn't. Now Tyson with cus/ no Robin/ no prison we're having a completely different discussion

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Tyson never seemed to do well against people that weren’t scared of him. Still top 10 HW tho

 

[Standing on business]

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.

Change my mind


Dudes resume is mediocre and he couldn't dominate in the 90s once the heavyweight talent pool increased significantly from what it was in the 80s

Ali
Foreman
Joe
SRR
SRL
Roy Jones
Floyd

Some guys that are above him easily
Not to mention guys with cases

Youngest world heavy weight champion ever

His place in history is solidified

The bol was 190 at 12. He is not some regular overrated dude

In this era of fat ass heavyweights I wouldn't be shocked

But I doubt it

A 18 year old coming in and sleeping Deontay Wilder like a bum

I doubt it, fighters turn pro a lot later on average now than in the past. Look at the current top 10 list. Loma, Spence, Crawford, Canelo, GGG, Usyk, Fury, Pacman all are 30+, some are pushing 40 or 40+.

 

[Umoja]

Who has him in their top 5 pound for pound, or top 5 heavyweight for that matter?

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

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 .

Holyfield biggest win was against a post jail Tyson

nikka lost all 3 bowe fights and both Lennox fights

He was good but mike dominance was longer than Evander

Lennox beat a done Tyson nd got knocked out by 2 journey man

Tyson loses came when he was old or done really

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

I would never put Rocky Marciano above Tyson or Holyfield

Rocky was underrated he had great punching power and determination

If u rate Holyfield and Tyson higher that fine tho

 

[Counter Racist Male]

Foreman would've cracked Mike's skull in half

The way Mike worked that “peek a boo” I don’t think so.

 

[MoveForward]

Thread is real talk... I never understood the hype.

A lot of people surprisingly. People talk about Tyson like he's god or something when he can logically be argued out of the top 10 heavyweights list.

Some of this is wrong
