      Can't fault them for that...
      Tyson losing 3 years of his career was his own fault.

      To answer the question though, I think Hopkins has had the better career and accomplished a lot more, but Tyson's name will live a lot longer in the memory.

        Tyson career spanned 2 decades as has Hopkins'.

        I would say that the resumes are pretty equal too.

          Bernard is actually older than Tyson.

            Unlike Tyson, Bernard is still very good in his later years.

              Let me guess, you rate Lewis as the second greatest HW, and have Calzaghe over Hopkins?

                      Lewis is certainly in my top 10 heavy's but he's nowhere near number two.

                      But I did have Calz winning that fight, yes.
