    Tyson's skills are among the most overrated of any fighter. They looked all time great against B fighters, but not against the better fighters he faced.

      Watch Tyson Vs berbick, Spinks and Holmes. Tyson is the most skilled fighter of all time prime for prime.

            You think I haven't seen Tyson vs. Berbick? You know this is a boxing forum, right? Beating up a bum, a light heavyweight and a past-it legend don't say "most skilled fighter all time." Nobody on his resume comes even close to Pacquiao's annihilation of Barrera. Robinson is almost not even worth addressing, a blind man could see how much more skilled he was than Tyson.

              The comparason is ridiCULOs. Mike Tyson terrorized the Heavyweight Division and NOone was calling him out while Pacquiao hasn't terrorize any division and everybody is calling him. Not sure of the point of this thread.

                So because Tyson fought in a weaker division and was an intimidator, he was better? You see Pacquiao's skills, you see his resume, you see his weight climb, it's not even questionable who's better.

                Also, ask MAB if he'd be interested in a rematch. Even if MAB was in any position to accept one, I would be terrified at the thought if I were him.

                  How is Berbick a bum? He was the WBC champion. He could be a contender in any era. Spinks was the lineal heavyweight champion coming of a KO win over Cooney. He was an undefeated ATG. Light-hevayweights have moved up to heavyweight before. Holmes wasnt past it he still had alot left. He went onto challenge Holyfield and beat an undefeated Ray Mercer. Tyson is the only guy to KO ATG Holmes. Also Tyson has good wins over Ruddock, Tubbs, Bruno, Smith and Thomas.

                  You know the diferance between Skills and resume right?

                  Pacquiao has a better resume but hes not as good as Tyson ability wise.

                    How is Berbick a bum? Maybe because he ******. He won the title from the Great Pinklon Thomas and lost it in his very next fight. Other than Pinklon Thomas, Muhammad Ali is his best win...and the fact that Ali is so impaired that he's behind Pinklon Thomas really says it all. Next, we have Spinks. Yes, the champ, yes he was a good fighter, but a great big guy beats a great little guy. I never said Tyson wasn't great, he just doesn't compare to Pacquiao in any way, skills or resume. Pacquiao's defense is just as good, he throws better combinations, and most importantly, he's got a much bigger heart and better conditioning. Tyson's got the edge in power, but it's not like Pacquiao's a pillowfist. Manny's just better.
