    tyson was able to take a fight per month, proving that his opponents were all bums
    Look at Muhammad Ali's opposition in his first year as a pro, or anybodies for that matter. WTF. You have to start at the bottom (and work your way up).

      For what its worth a prime Tyson would destroy Fraizer. You guys also have to think about the huge size difference between Tyson and just about all heavyweights. He is about 5"9- 5"11, that alone is impressive. Thats why I knew he had no chance against Lewis, who is more than 6 inches taller than him. All Lewis had to do was jab and hit him with an uppercut when Tyson was coming in, not easy, but not as hard as people are making it out to be. Even the mid to late 90s version of Tyson would be champ today. Look what he did to Golota who up untill recently was still in the title hunt.

            Tyson fans have an excuse for everything. It was never his fault for anything negative he ever did..and there was alot of negative.

              What are you talking about? The guy fell to pieces in 1988, it's not an illusion, the guy drove his car into a tree in a suicide attempt.

                Tyson is the best ever, because he held the title for a whopping three years

                    The kid was WBC champion from 1986 to 1990 with an awesome resume, and he was just a kid!

                      Oh WOW!
                      good point??
                      were arguing whether or not mike tyson is one of the top ten fighters of all time


                      and yes, he was great when he was a kid, and had he continued that, he would be top ten, but he didnt and he isnt
