Was Larry Holmes….”The Greatest”?

[Mike Tyson77]

because thats what I said....???

"Look, he's wearing boxing gloves!, he's taking a dive!"

Mike would be lucky to be considered one of the Top 5 heavyweights of all time.

ring had him at #14 or #15 and that was back in '00 or '02. probably has slipped a bit further with the later blemishes on his career, but not too much further. definately probably below 20, but i wouldnt be overly suprised to see him at 21 or 22.

this one i think is close to what i would come up with if i ever do one ..i would maybe add Tyson over Holyfield ,Marciano down a few spots and move up Holmes a few spots ...

ONLY REASON I DONT RANK TYSON ON MY TOP 10 ISNT BECAUSE HE WASNT GOOD IN HIS TIME JUST WASNT AS GOOD AS OTHERS, TO BECOME A GREAT YOU HAVE TO BEAT ADVERSITY AND HE NEVER PROVED HE COULD DO THAT SO DUE TO THIS I FEEL TYSON IS IN TOP 25 BUT NOT TOP 10. HE WAS GREAT FOR HIS SHORT REIGN BUT HE WASNT ANYTHING SPECIAL, HE HAD A GREAT CHIN, SOME SPEED AND A **** LOAD OF POWER BUT HE WASNT SPECIAL, WE SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TRAITS AS HIMSELF THAT BEAT THE ODDS WHERE TYSON NEVER DID.

Maturity is a rare thing to find on this forum.
Id be shocked if you were older then 15.

Why are you so mad.

Ring must be right about everything that concerns rankings..

I think thats a bit low personally, but im not going to get worked up about it.

Tyson will always have his nuthugging, illogical fans. I guess its up to us rational people to deal with them as best we can.

I couldnt agree more

So you're saying Tyson deserves a different ATG ranking...Why am I not suprised? You're on point rocco, with that unbiased opinion. All your doing is telling it how it is, of course to a Tyson fan you look like a hater, you're not.

Indeed. The Tyson nuthuggers are the roots of a particular generation who relish his out of ring antics even more than his in the ring talents.

I rate Tyson at number 9 on my list. Higher than ring mag rates him. I have Holmes at number 10 by the way.
