How good was prime Mike Tyson?

[Curtis Harper]

I think it’s become very fashionable in this day and age to discredit Mike. Fact is, he was UNDISPUTED Heavyweight Champion. You done that?

It's actually fashionable to give him credit he doesn't deserve and moving around his ''prime'' years to suit a narrative.

Berbick, Smith, Tucker and some other nobody who just happened to have worn a crown. Jokes....all of them.

Name a present day HW who couldn't have crushed those fake as fu ck ''champs''.

I know Usyk could have beaten half of them by ko the other 2 by white towel.

Wilder is doing what Mike was but is getting nothing but hate.

Tyson unified pretty much immediately. Wilder fought his sparring partners.
Tyson was also far more technical than Wilder.

Look at the clowns who wore the crown before Mike took them !!!!!!!!

They would not be champs in any other era.

Bermane would have been an undisputed champ if he only had to worry about those mugs

Tony Tucker was good enough to go the distance with Lewis years after his prime.
Berbick was good enough to go 15 with prime Holmes and beat Pinklon Thomas before the drugs got the best of him.

John Ruiz, Hasim Rahman, Oliver McCall (Tyson's sparring partner), Bruce Seldon, Frank Bruno and Bermane Stiverne all held titles. Tucker, Berbick and Spinks were better than than all of these.

No. Just no.

We've come to an impasse.

BTW, McCall would have been undisputed

[Curtis Harper]

The list of ''Who else would have been undisputed HW champ when Mike was'' is long. Let's figure out which current HW would NOT have been able to beat those ''champs''.

I can't think of a single name. Otto would have been undisputed.

He was quite the talent, I'd say.

I see the comparison but Mike beat better competition and was undisputed champ.

I don’t understand the Wilder hate though, from the start of 2018 he’s consistently chose to fight top competition.

Fanboys are gonna fanboy though...
