        How should we rate Tyson as a 90s fighter when his peak/prime was technically all in the 80s?

          His biggest fights were all in the 90s.

            They technically were but they were all his biggest losses too. Buster Douglas, Holyfield, Lewis (2002 but a 90s holdover fight). They sold the most PPV's but again how does Mike rate among the 90s HWs when his peak was in the 80s?

              This is true

              But the 90s guys would beat the crap out of everyone from the 70s

                Id say if Tyson fought Lewis in his absolute prime and fully motivated he'd destroy him, same for Holyfield

                  70's era, much better fighters overall. Just look at fat old Foreman coming back and winning the title and giving g every one trouble, now imagine a prime Foreman fighting the top guys in the 90's
