    Mike Tyson fought in a much stronger era and in a division where it only takes one punch to genuinely change the outcome unlike Floyd who has fought at lower weight divisions guys who don't have much of a power shot.
    You literally just post the dumbest **** you can think of dont you?

      To be honest Luis Castillo and Marcos Maidana aren't anywhere near as good as Buster Douglas, I doubt Tyson would have lost to someone as limited as a Castillo or Maidana.

          This is pretty ****** to think about because any fighter who beat all of the guys he lost to would be known as the best ever. What if Joe Louis beat all of the guys he lost to? Muhammad Ali? Jack Dempsey?

          Tyson lost to those guys for a reason. He wasn't good enough at that period in time. Do I think prime '87/'88 Tyson beats all of the guys he lost to? Yes. Does that make me rank him as the best heavyweight ever? No. Simply because that is my educated guess and it didn't really happen so nobody knows.

                You were probably one of those whining when he rematched Maidana.

                  No, but he did try to be a GOAT-****er when he converted to islam in prison so there's that for Tyson fans.

                    Yeah I was why should Maidana have to rematch him when he clearly beat him fairly the first time?
