Mike tysons victims might have been beaten mentally before though. Looking awesome on heavy bag might have made his victims think they had no chance.
Plus Tyson had such an aura of menace around him. I haven't seen anything like it in my time.
That's why I think Tyson deserves to be considered among greatest heavys even if his resume is lacking a little

I think most go in thinking they can beat him. They look at the lack of head movement, the "slow" hands, the defensive flaws.
Murray, Stevens, Lemieux, even Brook all thought they had his mark. I did think Rubio laid down - but we weren't the ones receiving a power punch on the crown of the head - but it looked like he could have gotten back up - but I've never seen any comments from Rubio after that fight so hard to say.
Anyways, all came to conquer and all were KOd, not just beaten. Not saying they were A class opponents but several were solid Bs. Jacobs is a B+ fighter based off of resume and the eye test. Golovkin is about 2-3 years past his absolute prime. If the odds are still 9-1 I'm tempted to take a punt.

I remember an interview with Holyfield after Tyson KO'd Seldon where Holyfield said it's a different fight when both guys go in it to win. I knew right then Holyfield was gonna beat Tyson

A lot of Golovkin's opponents say afterwards that he didn't hit as hard as they expected. Yet all of those opponents were stopped too. I think that tells you all you need to know about their mindset going in. They are expecting something frightening.
