    Mike Tyson.....& it's Mike Tyson by a mile.


    He took on super hero-like status, while being incredibly flawed.
    He's the biggest frontrunner in the history of the sport....the furthest thing from a warrior or a bad ass.

    He could be spectacular....but was NEVER unbeatable.

          Yea...for me he's gotta be in the top 10 at least.

          He beat Holyfield and Tyson..

              My only grudge with Lewis is that he defeated Holyfield and Tyson when they were washed up. Its not his fault, but it hurts his legacy.

                Joe Louis and Chavez com to mind when this question is asked but I like both guys and I think with both of them Nationalism has a lot to do with it.

                  EVER? Ruiz. He's widely lambasted but he also gets credit for his amateurish drunken boxing style.

                  He sucks. No credit for him using MMA in boxing matches.

                      If he'd been handled better ... controlled by mature, intelligent guys like the beginning of his career, no one would be saying this. It was later when he saw that he was only a commodity and attracted a bunch of yes men he didn't respect that he went buck wild and lost his discipline/focus.
