Only on NBS would you find people debating who comes out the best in a situation where guys **** or beat a women.
As for legacy. Tyson has massive legacy in terms of being well known. Everyone knows him, even casual and non boxing fans know him and have seen his KO's. Only him and Ali have that stature.
Mayweather has the best resume and will be ranked higher.

Floyd took a layoff to avoid prime Cotto, Margarito and Paul Williams. Tyson had a jail time, but he didn˙t take layoffs on his own to aviod dangerous opponents.

Mike captured the imagination and was exciting more than Floyd ever could so in that sense is greater than Floyd. Tyson fought everyone available at that time, bar Holyfield and Lennox Lewis as they weren't ready in a sense with Holyfield a cruiserweight and Lennox still learning the trade. But Tyson didn't ask for CWs and worry about what gloves people wore or that the people he fought were bigger than him.
Floyd is smarter and in that sense is greater and has a better resume.

Use your brain man. Ask the average boxing fan if they know who George Benton is. Then ask the if they know who Floyd Mayweather is. I'm sure far more people know Floyd than George Benton. Before Floyd became popular you rarely saw people using the shoulder roll. Now, a lot of up and coming boxers are using it. If you don't think Floyd is the reason for that then you ar simply not thinking.
