you have to understand,
tyson came up and was fighting the champions at that time.
no vacant titles, he was fightin the CHAMPS.
now tyson unified the titles and cleaned the HW division OUT.
now i agree with you that alot of the dudes he fought where bums.
but we'll never know how good tyson would of been, well good enough to get your respect, mah bad tyson wasnt fighting ali's frazier's and the greats.
but hes great to me

You're a fan - and I respect that.

All I'm saying is that if Tyson qualifies as top 10 all time for the above you have to include ... say ... the K brothers.

I'm not arguing against him not being a top 10 HW all time.

However, it brings up the Marciano discussion. How does Marciano's resume compare since he fought fighters that were under 200 pounds and basically blown up past prime Light-Heavyweights?
Of course, Marciano himself wasn't a big guy either but for discussion sake...since we put "HW" next to his name and many have him in the top 10...how do we rate it?

I never said anything supporting Marciano. When did I ever say Marciano should be on there? Never, so your argument doesn't work with me.

And no, Marciano wasn't even a real HW, he shouldn't be on there.

The Spinks fight is a pretty complicated issue. On the one hand there is no doubt that Spinks had an excellent record and certainly LOOKED the part. But on the other you kind of question his credibility by the performance he put on - or didn't.

He was a shambles. If ever a guy was beaten before he entered the ring by the aura of his opponent Spinks is it.

That is a part of the Psychology of Boxing. Same happened to opponents that fought Liston and Foreman. Even Ali used psychological warfare to gain an edge.

By the way, how did Tyson get that "aura"?

Just pointing it out since most have him on the list which includes "Historians"
