    Not the greatest but should have been. That's how I kind of look at Naz's story.

        u cant read neither. its about how he fought when he was champion not what he did outta the ring.if that was the case alot of ppl wouldnt be great.

            What do you guys think?
            Hell yeah he was Great! That is unquestionable!

                  They dont have an explanation. They dont like Mike Tyson's personality so they say he was a crappy champion. In the ring nobody can say he wasnt great.

                    thats what there not going for his championship skill,unless mike had some out of the ring belt also then ok.I think there just haters or didnt understand the question.props to the ppl that said no and gave an explanation

                      i voted no because i dont think his record is worthy of being called great, you cant judge fighetsr on natural ability because their record is lacking in the names department. Also Tyson's prime lasted 3 years then iin the 90's he ducked and dodged fighters and fought bums before and after holyfield
