35Overrated, and would not be or beat a top 10 ATG at heavy.5.71%2Underrated, and would beat, and is a top 10 ATG at heavy.48.57%17very good but not the killer many think against top atg's at heavy, but still inside the top 20!22.86%8He is rated fairly and accurately by most!22.86%8 -
Vote on what? There is no poll. Opinion-wise he was the ****in man. Overall his career tanked and he was a waste of talent. Partially his fault, partly cuz he was ****ed over by some shady people and circumstances. But while he was at his best he was the ****. Unified the title, youngest champ ever, surpassed Ali as the most famous fighter ever, filled the void Ali left behind and became a crossover star as HW champ. Excitin as **** to watch no matter who he faced unless guys like Bonecrusher were too scared of gettin knocked out to really fight. -
Once in a lifetime fighter....a freak of nature.Comment

He was a beast with a style yet to be matched even today. Most kids weren't winning world heavyweight titles in 2 rounds at 20. They were probably goofing off in college. Most ppl dont win 3 titles at 21, most ppl that age are trying to party and drink. Also youngest heavyweight champion ever, STILL.
Most heavyweights never had the elusiveness and speed and power combined. Oh yeah, stamina as a Prime Tyson either. Also most ppl dont fight 15 times their first year as a pro and 12 times the second year, opposition doesnt matter. Thats a tough feat to do. And WIN.
If I need to go on in another post just quote me.

There's only one Mike Tyson, there will never be another Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson in his prime years was a bone crusher, he had so much speed, he could bob and weave like no other, he would crush your ****ing body with those hooks. More people know Mike Tyson than more people know Muhammad Ali.
Mike Tyson was a machine, he came to fight .. What a ****ing fighter.
My all time fav.Comment

wasn't invincible like we thought but not as bad as losses to holyfield and lewis would make you think.
if his head was on straight he could've been one of the greatest. unfortunately the years off eroded his skills like it did to ali. ali however had a lot more than skills. a properly motivated , trained and prime tyson would give everyone problems. not unbeatable but you'd have to be at the top of the game to. in his prime i think only ali , foreman , holmes can probably beat him. the rest of the atg can as well but it'd be tough to be certain.Comment

Prime Tyson . Is there ever anything else on but prime Tyson marathons on Ringside or ESPN Classic.
At least they are getting a better library and showing different fighters.Comment

I don't think he was nearly as good as people made him out to be and he would have still lost to Evander and Lewis in his prime. Maybe not Lewis, but definietly Evander.
I'd pick a handful of fighters over Tyson like Ali and maybe Prime Holmes. Still a great fighter though. Sick of watching him on Espn Classic like the poster above me said too...Comment
