Good list. Louis Monaco did knock out a former champion Buster Douglas in the first round yet he is given no credit for it. Underrated fighter.

He KO'd two men who KO'd Tyson.

a three year period of dominating nothing special makes you the 5th best heavyweight of all time?

No. Being the youngest HW champ ever and the youngest ever to unify both belts does though. Regardless of competition when your 18yrs old going against guys 29-30yrs of age, its a very very very hard thing to do.

I don't think Tyson's age should affect his ranking, otherwise Benitez should be one of the greatest ever for beating a long-reigning hall of fame champion Antonio Cervantes at age 17.

Ali, Louis and Patterson weren't much older than Tyson when they won the title.

Yeah, I agree but you still gotta give him an ATG ranking for it. Its a very amazing feat to do and it hasn't been matched or beaten yet either. Like the 72' Dolphins in the NFL.
