Mike Tyson holds the most extraordinary accomplishment the history of Boxing

[QuebecSTAR2]

WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles, 20 years old. Not only did he win those titles at age 20 - he won them decisively and took the heavyweight division by storm. Crushing world champions like never seen before on the big stage.

The greatest achievement to have ever been accomplished in the sport of Boxing IMO. Nothing will ever top this. Possibly the greatest accomplishment in the HISTORY of sports.

Imagine if Dawson would have beat Ward...

[mrpain81]

He beat 3 fighters who were ranked P4P #1 at the time of him beating them.

Duran vs. Leonard 2 - Duran was P4P # 1

Hearns vs. Leonard 1 - Hearns was P4P # 1

Hagler vs. Leonard - Hagler was P4P # 1


Pretty extraordinary accomplishment that nobody ever talks about.



Had to scan that ring magazine that's why it took me so long to reply.

Very nice.

Tyson accomplishment

Youngest to hold versions, but not undisputed. He became that when he beat

Mike Spinks. Patterson is the youngest undisputed champ, an earlier pupil of

Cus D'Amato.

Tyson was the perfect HW in an old school sense. But a fighter like Lennox Lewis was his kryptonite.

Roy Jones jr and Bernard hopkins accomplishments are much more impressive.

And both would beat him
