    Does Tyson have a better resume than either of the Klitschko bros?

    Yes.

    I mean, even a guy like Frank Bruno would stand out on Vitalis resume.

      The Spinks win is what edges it out for me.

        Spinks, faded Holmes.. theres a fair few wins that are better than pretty much anything on the brothers resume.

        I think Wlad could come close if he keeps winning, but I'd say Tyson is still greater.
        He blows Vitali out of the water in terms of resume.

          Fair points. I think the Haye win was a real good win for Wlad. If only he had beaten Adamek instead of Vit I would call it dead even.

            The problem is, what makes Haye a good win as a heavyweight?
            Haye could be a good win if he had a better resume at heavyweight. He only beat Valuev and shot Ruiz basically.

            I do think many probably overrate Tysons greatness (maybe some boxing snobs underrate him, but the majority of fans overrate it) and underrate Wlads. But i still think Tyson is greater due to having better wins overall.

              Better than Vitalis,who has a paper thin resume,its closer between him and Wlad though,i think the way Tyson beat people and his achievements give him the edge

                I count the danger of an opponent for a lot when ranking a resume. Lots were picking Haye to stop Wlad like Sanders did.
