    Pinklon was an elite lb4lber, Tubbs one of the slickest HW's and Tucker one of the best HW prospects there's been. Neither Holyfield or Lewis were in that HW class. Rid**** Bowe was, just.
    so not only are you saying tubbs and pinklon thomas were better than holyfield or lewis but your also saying rid**** bowe is better than lewis!! funny stuff!!

    Tucker was the real deal in his prime he would give any heavcyweight f any time trouble, unfortunately his personal life prevented that from happening

        Threads like this are supposed to be compared to other greats. Imo Tyson dominated just as good, if not better fighters than Marciano, Holmes, Louis, Dempsey. True, he didn't dominate in an era like Ali's, but it doesnt take away the fact that he's an all time great.

          He'd of taken him to school. Lewis made sooo many mistakes pre-Steward.

          The more mature Lewis wouldn't of been quick enough to handle Bowe.

            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.

            ummm i don't know what bruno is doing in that list. tyson wrecked him twice (although frank did hurt tyson in tha first fight as i recall)
