i agree. I also think alot of fighters in boxing would agree with this. In my mind Tyson is underrated because of the second half of his career. Tyson had it all, power, defense, skills and speed.

Some people say Tyson was a quitter when the going got tough.....maybe true of the unfocused, post jail, hard partying Tyson, but i don't think it's true of the Tyson before then. Ruddock fought very very hard against Mike Tyson, and he was a huge puncher.....Tyson just took everything and i thought he ruined Ruddock in those two fights.

Something Frank Bruno said always comes to mind aswell " I would rather fight Lennox Lewis 100 times than have to fight Mike Tyson once" or something to that effect.

Call me a nuthugger, but when i look at a focused (mentally and physically) Tyson he's clearly one of the best to ever do it imho. Top ten HW for sure.
