Why was Mike Tyson so hyped up? And his 5 best wins.

[Curtis Harper]

Righhhtttt so easy anyone can do it..... Tyson Cleaned out the top 10 of the HW Division don't fault him for the era. Tyson is the reason why boxing reached new heights.

Name the champs and rate them

Try not to laugh

[Curtis Harper]

You mean kind of like today's HW except now they are worse.

Mike would thrive in every weak era.

[Curtis Harper]

''Pac's arm fell off during training camp.''
''Tyson was shot when he lost to the 2 quality opponents he fought.''

The things a fan has to tell themselves

[Laligalaliga]

Mike Tyson was the undefeated WBC, WBA, IBF and lineal world heavyweight champion. Only three men in history can say that and the other two didn't have to win the four titles one by one like Tyson did.

Do you mean the same way AJ gathered his collections one by one?

[Curtis Harper]

Todays HW's, with 20+ fights, who would have beaten Berbick, Smith, Tucker, Tubbs, Seldon....
DEFINITELY Wilder, AJ, Ortiz, Fury, Usyk, Povetkin, Andy, Chisora, Parker. All would have been unified champs with ease.

Yes. Exactly. A lot more impressive to become unified champion that way than the way Andy Ruiz did it.

You are a smart guy.....
3 fights to be unified champ is two levels above one fight unified champ.

And bet you those ''champs'' would make the ''Worst HW Champs Of All Time'' list.

No one, and I mean no one is hyping the ''champs'' Mike beat. Just that he was fortunate enough to come across such feeble oppositions.

I wouldn't mind being proven wrong.

If someone dominates an era, nobody else from that era will be held in high regard. So Tyson is a victim of his own success.

The eras that are considered "great" are the eras where nobody was dominant.

It's all perception.

It's ****** to pretend that suddenly there were no good heavyweights in one era or another. The truth is that if somebody is head and shoulders above the rest, you'll assume the rest suck instead of realizing how great the best was.

Mike was more fortunate than he was special.

Actually, Tubbs vs Andy (that beat AJ) would have been an interesting fight
