    I'm telling you most experts had Lewis ahead of Tyson in the rankings. Tyson was never viewed as the #1 HW post prison.

    Ring Magazine 95 = Lewis #2, Tyson #3

      I didn't ask about the rankings. I asked who the majority would PICK TO WIN. I'm getting a little tired of everybody weaseling with the wording.. This little discussion started with the other dude claiming that Tyson wasn't considered the "best."

      Enough bull****.

          If he was considered the best he would have been rated #1 you ****ing tard. They had Lewis who didn't even have a title ahead of him.

            You've already lost this argument and you know it. That's why you're doubling down and starting to whine like a little girl. Tyson was in prison, ******. Was he just supposed to leapfrog everyone in the rankings?? This is easily one of the dumbest posts I have ever read on this forum. :wank:

              The ring magazine ratings were voted on by experts. Tyson was a title holder, Lewis was the mandatory he was ahead of him in the rankings. But the experts voted Lewis ahead of Tyson in the ratings.

                  It was a little over two months before I was born. I do recall being shocked the first time I saw footage of the KO when I was a kid in the 90s. The only boxing matches I saw at that point were the big PPV's with Holyfield. King didn't want the Douglas KO footage to be shown all over to deminish Tyson's aura in his comeback.

                    He was a the title holder you spastic, Lewis was the mandatory. Who's the higher ranked champion or mandatory?

                    But the experts still voted Lewis as the better fighter.
