    Should one then assume there were no A level fighters around - he fought everyone avaiable - Spinks did prove himself against HWs - IMO you are being too harsh.
    The thing is though his biggest fans act like he was beating killers. Wilder's list of victims read stronger than Tyson's, and I'd pick Wilder to beat Douglas handily ten times out of ten.

      Wilders list? LMFAO. Tyson's beaten more hall of famers than Wilder has world champions.

        To say Holyfield would win is a reasonable assumption, but to say Tyson would never beat either of those two "ever" is ridiculous. Holyfield is one of my favourite boxers, but the Tyson he fought was a broken man, that was obvious by his general demeanor - there was no fire or intensity in his eyes, his shoulders were slumped, he was being fleeced left, right and centre and his legal troubles would have cemented any man in bed, let alone step into a ring. In fact, I would go far as to say he was way more motivated by his fight against Roy Jones than he ever was against Holyfield or Buster. He was in a bad place and even Holyfield knows he caught Tyson at the right time.

          The only Hall of Famer Tyson beat was a tiny, terrified, Spinks. B-Class Douglas took your boy to school. And whilst Tyson took Holyfield's ear, Holyfield took his soul in return.

            Wrong Again! Spinks and Holmes were both hall of famers. A overweight depressed tyson fury took wilder to school and his soul in the next fight, and showed the world that Wilder is nothing but a glass jawed lazy bum. Joshua will KO that loser and Ruiz will destroy him as well. Wilder is the worst heavyweight champion of all time.

            And Wilders best win is against a PAPER CHAMPION.

              The Tyson that fought Lennox Lewis was broken. Tyson trained hard for both fights, especially the rematch.

                No shame in losing to Tyson Fury, the greatest HW of all time. Also, Wilder beat slick Cuban southpaw Luis Ortiz, who is much better than the version of Holmes that Tyson beat.

                    David Price would beat Douglas, never mind a great like Wilder.

                      Ortiz is better than Holmes? And Tyson Fury is the greatest HW of all time?

                      You are mistaken. Trevor Berbick is actually the best HW of all time.
