          What you must realize is the heavyweights of the 90's(Holyfeild,Lewis,Morrison,Bowe,Moorer,Ruddock) all would have dominated aswell.

            Perhaps, but he was still a great fighter at his prime

                I think you guys are rather negative to tyson alot in looking back at his days in the ring, you can only beat what is put infront off you!
                and really some off the guys tyson beat where class acts>

                Tony Tucker (great boxer big,strong,was one off the best in his era former IBF champ)
                Larry holmes (ok not in his prime but still the names good enought 4 me)
                Tubbs never in great shape but was rather a slick boxer
                spinks (ok a perfect light heavyweight but the guy was a class act champions at light Hw for 4 years beat larry holmes)
                Tyrell biggs classy boxer Olimpic Gold winner

                    Yeah he did dominate but even from his late teens to early 20's he was beating everyone so that proves he was great. Although blown up light heavies and way past their prime x champions don't really make the best opposition.
                    The 90's were much better for the heavies with Holyfield reaching his peak, Foreman coming back, Douglas showing his best, moorer, Lewis, bruno, Bowe, Morrison. And Tyson wasn't as formidable by this time so he wasn't as dominant.
