Mike Tyson is Underrated Historically

[a-raines21]

it seems like the fans from overseas think mike is overrated. bottom line is he made history as the youngest heavyweight champ of all times, and his emotional instabilities lead to his downfall.....

Based on his whole career (which ATG lists always are), my list is similar to yours. But based only on who were the best fighters when they were at their respective peaks (Tyson's peak being the time of the Spinks fight, just before he split with Rooney), then I would have both Foreman and Tyson in the top 5, with Foreman just ahead of Tyson. Either #3 and #4, or #4 and #5, not sure.

My list is based primarily on their repective peak years, namely if they all fought each other 10 times in their primes how they would stack up.

Then I think you under-rate both Tyson and Foreman. Just my opinion.

i love how when you praise a fighter for their accomplishments you all of a sudden become a "nuthugger" around here. Plain and simple, a prime tyson COULD have beaten most heavyweights past and present. I feel like if the Holyfield fight had come off and tyson trained like he did for spinks, mike would have won decisively by UD.
