    That is true, the thing about tyson though is that he faced his best opponents he wasnt the same fighter anymore. Still would probably run through his current HW division.

      It's hard to say if he always was...the first loss and subsequent jail time definitely cracked him. He later lost to guys who were far worse than guys he beat early on tho. He needed that support network he had early in order to be successful i think.

          Joshua, Wilder, Ortiz, Haye, and White are better than Ruddock, Holmes, Bruno, Spinks.

            holmes was not finished. he still beat top ten guys like mercer and lost a razor close fight to the guy that ko'd lennox lewis. he wasnt at his best obviously but he was not roy jones against calzaghe or something.

            also spinks came up from 175 but he had a win over an all time great heavy so you forgot that part? thats like marquez moving up to fight floyd and winning the fight. and if someone then beat marquez saying oh hes just a light weight means nothing...sounds silly. spinks proved he could fight there he just got steamrolled. wasnt his best weight but he was great enough to do what he did. stirverne isnt great enough to do anything but beat arreola

              I know there are a lot of Wilder haters here but to bring up names like Tubbs & Berbick and say they would beat Wilder is just a total loss of credibility. Do you realize both those fools got beat by Jimmy Thunder?

              Mike's early opponents were garbage, after he gained a belt then things got interesting, afterwards things got messy for him and let's face it, the 90's heavyweight division was stacked. Not the case right now.

                After my dad was disappointed in the Spinks fight, I asked him "Is there anyone out The you think that could beat Mike Tyson?"...He replied "Well Son there is this guy named Evander Holyfield" This was 1988. When they finally fought my Dad took even odds that Holy would win and everyone jumped on it. He was never smug, just felt guilty taking everyone's money. Anywho to answer the question, Wilder is so different style and length wise, both can punch, and unload, hard to determine. Beats all the cans Tyson did. Loses to all the same studs. The Douglases, Ruddocks, bonecrushers, who knows.
