      I seriously think that Tyson is overrated, but he's got a better resume then Joe Calzaghe. Mike is the biggest question in boxing, but he remains a question. He never accumulated what he may have had potential to do.

          It took Calzaghe over ten years to unify his division,it took Tyson a year and a half to unify and beat the lineal heavyweight champion.



          It's really not close.Tyson did more in two years than Calzaghe did in his entire career.

                    Bad spelling, lol
                    At the end of the day its a case of who are your best wins and most noticable losses.I would say that Tyson has the better wins, but how would you factor in his losses?
