    You can say he was the best of his (dead) era but you cannot claim he's one of the best Heavyweights ever. It's simple.

        I am doing exactly that, we don't know what would have happened if prime for prime he had faced other HW greats but he had a decade of dominance, plenty of title defenses, and more unbeaten opponents 0s taken than nearly any world class fighter in the modern era.

          Sure, make a logical argument why Mike is Greater.

          Why can't any fat yanks do that?

              Not a dead era at all.

              An era Americans did not like because anyone they put up get a beat down from Wlad.


              Fury beat two champs to win his belts who had a total 29 title defense going into fight Fury.

              How many were the defenses did the likes of Spinks, Smith and Berbick have?

              Add Bruno and Seldon to that list as well.

              Deal with the FACTS!!

                    So no counter argument.

                    Just some emojis.

                    Sums you up really.

                      Mike is the youngest heavyweight champ of all time, that statistic alone makes him greater. He also has 10 consecutive defenses of his world heavyweight championship, that makes him greater. He also has a better resume of fighters, that makes him greater.
