How would you grade Mike Tyson’s resume?

[hhh1200]

Besides Holmes (who was lounging on the sofa for almost 2 years)...what other HOFers did he beat ?
Winning is the key.

Did I say beat or fought? Get rid of the wax. Spinks. That would make him 2-2. Maybe I'll just add Danny Garcia Keef Thurman and Errol Spence to the HofF since Keef believes they should be there based on their accolades. Tyson is undisputed in a 3 belt era also but we'll pretend that didn't happen either. You must be Gen Z or a Millenial

Holmes and Spinks
The absolute WORST VERSIONS
Hey, If Marciano can get props for beating Louis......

A solid D

Way too many tomato cans
Faced the weakest bunch of champs
Lost to his only top tier opponents....SOUNDLY.

I can't think of anyone he beat that any other HW couldn't.

Who is on his Mt Rushmore

Faced weak champs... which champions should he have beat? He could only beat the champions that were there.

Maybe he just made them look weak? That's what happens when you have a dominant champion.

His resume is average at best and overhyped.

If the question is just resume and not wins then his resume is ATG and A+ considering he fought 3 of the greatest heavies of all time in Holmes, Vander and Lewis while also fighting SPinks who was a tier below but a great fighter when taking into account his light heavy career (kind of like Bob Foster fighting Frazier and Ali) and of course several guys a tier below that like Ruddock, Bruno, Douglas etc.

In terms of wins, he only beat one atg heavyweight and thats Holmes who was well past it. He is 3-0 against Vander/Lewis.

- - Best of his era, electrifying boxing while setting new purse records clearing out the fetid detritus of the tubby Lar era.

His resume is weaker, it is what it is. Some guys they make up for a weak era with longevity like wladimir. Tyson doesnt have longevity either. He came in cleared out the division was lineal and undisputed at a very early age. Had a gap in his prime taken from him like AIi but unlike Ali didnt win the lineal title back. And so that is why Ali is usually ranked 1-2 and Tyson somewhere at the end of top 10 or in top 15.

Tyson is so famous that guys will either overrate him or under rate him but i think end of the day he gets ranked appropriately.

Tysons resume is better than marcianos but nobody would want to hear that. Out of 49 fights he only has 7 or so that mean anything. The rest of them were boxing on the side in their free time, complete bums. Tyson fought more full time qualified fighters in his first run by age of 25 than Marciano ever did in his entire career.

i also feel his wins over holmes and spinks are underrated. holmes later went the distance with holyfield, only lost by 2 or 3 rounds imo. and he later beat prime Mercer. I think Spinks gets underrated as a HW, him beating holmes 2x can't be overlooked.

No doubt.
Bruno would go undefeated too if he fought who Rocky fought.

I just don't get how Tyson fans are oblivious to the facts.
He beat the least notable champs (did they even have a single defense before fighting Mike ?)
The 2 HOFers he beat were the worst versions of them
