Mike Tyson is Underrated Historically

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Brent Matteo Alderson - The last few years boxing historians have devalued Mike Tyson’s accomplishments as heavyweight champion of the world and have underscored his place in history. They point to his losses to Buster Douglas, Lennox Lewis, and Evander Holyfield to validate this belief and they also downgrade the length of his reign as well as the quality of his opposition.

No, he really isnt. Generally speaking he is completely over rated.

Just because somebody knows who he is doesnt mean they rate him properly.

[Silencers]

I honestly believe Tyson was and is one of the most overrated fighters in history.

I understand that bro. Just sayin... He had power, gave exciting fights, and was a dramatic fighter. I try to keep it short though. I liked Mike, one of the reasons im a boxing fan today. Overrated? Idk. Its a give or take.
