i just read the title, so i'll just say this: tyson was the best out the bunch of c and b class opponents he fought.
i get the feeling that a lot of people say tyson is great because of his work against fighters like zouski, berbick, and biggs. i could name much worse opposition too.
basically, i'm saying he looked outstanding against 3rd rate fighters. tillis gave him trouble, holmes was way out of it, ruddock gave him trouble, etc. a good fighter will look great vs subpar competition. but i've never really been impressed with his performances vs top fighters as in lewis and holyfield. not to mention getting beat by douglas, williams, and mcbride.
