Who ranks higher alltime? Wlad or Tyson

[Godsfly]

tyson easily..............

frank bruno, michael spinks, Tony Tucker, Trevor Berbick, are just a few that puts tyson leaps and bounds above wlad...............

i don't know why theres this myth going around on nsb that wlad is greater then fighters like tyson..............it's just not the truth at all when you actually sit down and analyze these resumes.......

Other than Spinks (a blown up LHW), those are not banner opponents or victories.

Resume wise, Tyson.

H2H, its close.

Actually don't think there is much difference resume wise:

With Tyson, Holmes & Spinks were coming out of retirement, & both past their best (quite a way in Larry's case, although he impressively got in shape for a 2nd career as a solid fringe contender) so barely count;
so his real resume of best wins was Tony Tucker, Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tubbs, Frank Bruno, Trevor Berbick & 'Bonecrusher' Smith; some pretty solid championship level fighters, but even the best of them had 'issues'.

Wlad's best are probably: David Haye, Ruslan Chagaev, Lamon Brewster, Sultan Ibragimov, Chris Byrd, & Tony Thompson.

Tyson had the much better 1st part to his career, but unlike Wlad never avenged any of his losses, whereas Wlad avenged 2 out of 3 & has had the greater longevity.

I'd be putting them about equal in the all-time list.

Past it Holmes and Spinks would rule the division just like Wlad. Tyson in this era? we wouldnt even hear about the K Bros

Tyson
his HW era wasn't all that either, but it was better than Wlad's
and he did destroy older, but still viable ATG's in Spinks and Holmes
he also didn't have the burden of not getting to face his top challenger
can't hate on Wlad for not fighting Vit but it does slightly stymie him

Tyson and it's nowhere near close.

Add a poll.

Wlad avenged 1 of his 3 losses, his brother had to avenge the other 2.

Mike is better all-time,,,,

h2h is close,,, but a prime pre-spinks tyson,,, hell even pre-87 tyson was a straight monster, that nobody had ever seen before..

pressure fighters like him have a very short shelf life,, but at his peak 86-87 tyson was the baddest man alive and destroyed everyone,,,,,,
