All-Time Super 6 HW Tournament

[jrosales13]

but he fought everyone and moorer and bowe were great fighters in there own right.

Oh I agree. My point was that there is a case that can be made that he was not the best of his era. I am not saying I would make that case. But, I am saying there could be a case made.

Name one top HW that Tyson beat?

Michael Spinks
Tony Tucker
Bonecrusher Smith
Pinklon Thomas
Trevor Berbick


They're not ALL TIME GREATS except maybe Spinks but are the TOP DOGS at the time

Foreman would batter Mike and stop him early.

i agree it would be the frazier fight but quicker.

Read OP..... Skill set, not resume.

I'd argue that by the time Tyson was fighting top HWs (Lewis, Holyfield), he was fcked up in the head.

Early 20's Tyson KO's all of them except Foreman.

Louis is on that list. and it's a super 6 list. why put fighters on that list who wouldn't stand a chance? Johnson wouldn't stand a chance against any of them. In fact, i would be surprised if Johnson made it past the 1st round against them. and yes, I've seen his documentary and know all about him. you just can't compare the way they fought back then to how they fight now plus johnson was really small for a HW. he would get eaten alive against any of the guys in this poll.

My bad I miss Joe Louis.

And, sir you really underrating Jack. The man was defensive genious. had good power, good footwork, good stamina. The man could go 20rds with ease. And, he was not that small.

*Prime

Ali beats all ( 5 - 0 )

Louis beats all except Ali ( 4 - 1)

Tyson beats Holmes and Vitali ( 2 - 3 )

Lewis beats Tyson and Vitali ( 2 - 3 )

Holmes beats Lewis and Vitaly ( 2 - 3 )

Vitali loses to all ( 0 - 5 ) - He doesnt belong in this list it should be Foreman

Ali beats Louis(who upset Klitschko) by unan decision, then wins a convincing split decision over Holmes in the final.

I have to disagree on all points especially defense. his hands were always low and he was flat footed. and I would even have to say his power is overrated considering the hard gloves that they used back then a fighter with any decent power shouldn't allow a fight to go past 5 rounds let alone 20. I know the teeth in the glove story, but still, with those gloves having fights go past 20 rounds shows a lack of power.

it's not about resume. it's about physical abilities, size and skill. basically just judging with your eyes instead of whats on paper. tyson was a perfect force combining power, speed, aggression and defensive head movements all in one motion.

all you have to do is look at Tyson right after he parted ways with Rooney. Even before his first loss, Tyson's skills started to noticably fade. Prime Tyson with Rooney is close to unbeatable IMO. only lewis could've beaten that tyson.
