What is the "Jordan vs LeBron" of boxing?

[bluebeam]

Ray Leonard vs Mayweather

Tyson is like Dominique Wilkins. Highlight reels but never does anything on the big stage.

Tyson was the fastest heavyweight to a title ever.

Picture any 20 year old you know being the heavyweight champion of the world.

Tyson is magic johnson if anybody. he won quick in a short career.

pre aids/pre prison

wilkins aint a champion, tyson is

Boxing doesn't have a Jordan or LeBron

Jordan vs LeBron is a dumb debate as well. Mike is so much more dominant.

Tyson Vs Ali
Roy Jones Vs Sugar Ray Robinson

Lol Tyson and Magic are nothin alike.
You say Tyson won by 20 true but where the hell was he at in less then 5 years? After KOing a bunch of nobodies he gets KOd and doesn't have any wins under his belt to scream about.

Magic on the other hand owned the NBA in the 80s. He kept on beating the best. Dr. J, Bird, Isiah Thomas ect and he lost to best in Jordan and the torch got passed in 91. Meanwhile Tyson lost to Buster Douglas and was never the same again.

[N/A]

Has to be heavyweight. Likely Ali vs Tyson. Not because Tyson was as good as Lewis, Holyfield, etc, but because Ali and Tyson are the two mythical figures everybody knows.

Picking a non-heavyweight fight doesn't work because last I checked, Jordan and Lebron actually were the best, not the best in junior league that excluded the best because they were too big.

Centers are the heavyweights of the NBA.

[N/A]

Centers are the heavyweights of the NBA.

But everybody plays in the same league together and sometimes a 6' 6" or 6' 8" guy is more dominant than a 7' guy because he's faster, more coordinated, etc.

It's not like we have 17 different versions of the NBA, each separated by one inch. Because if that was the case, the league with no restriction would obviously have the best players, not the league that keeps the best out so the smallest can have a chance.

Tyson was the Jordan of his time. The problem is boxing is so marginalized now that the equivalent of Lebron, who is probably Wilder, isn't going to be mentioned in fantasy match ups with Tyson the way people compare Jordan & Lebron because heavyweight boxing was so much more popular in the US in Tyson's hey day than it is now. Which is why Ali & Tyson is probably the closest thing boxing has to Jordan & Lebron.

Lol at Wilder.

LeBron is so good at everything and continues to destroy a lot of Jordan's all-time records, except championships, which sparked the debate. Wilder can't touch Ali or even Tyson with the way it looks now.
