Great points. Despite a SHORTER run Tyson BEAT more CHAMPS and HOF/ATG opponents.Tyson was undisputed, Wladimir wasn't. Mike had mandatories too . He had all 3 belts( wbo belt was non existant til around the time Mike beat Spinks, and up until 2002ish the other major sanctioning bodies would make you drop the wbo belt if you wanted to fight for their strap....they didn't recognize the wbo at all). Honestly both their resumes are so so from an ATG standpoint. It depends what ur criteria consists of when ranking the two. Mike had 2 hof scalps in Spinks and Holmes ( one being a past prime ATG ) both being former lineal Champs , wlad beat 0 hof entrants , and 0 ATG . He beat one former lineal champion in hasim rahman .
I'd say Mike Tyson had the better resume . If you wanna break it down further into belt holders tyson beat 8 , Wladimir beat 7( wlad should be 5 tho as I counted the wba regular belt for haye and povetkin [there was only one wba belt when tyson was active, and I'm not counting interim titles either ]) . Really all wlad has going for him is his 20 title defenses or whatever the number is . Its def Mike hands down . And iam not a big tyson fan . There is no bias here , just facts
Doesn't go much further than that tbhComment

I don't know about you but something about:
1. Going undefeated for 5 years, only having lost to Evander Holyfield (former unidisputed and lineal heavyweight champion) in more then a decade.
2. Being a former undisputed and lineal heavyweight champion himself.
3. Being seen as one of the few legitimate threats to Lennox (7-4 odds)
4. Being the fight the world wanted to see - turned out to be only the most luceratuve fight in heavyweight history.
5. Lewis publically stating he couldn't retire without fighting Tyson.
Kinda does tell you he got himself into a position to fight Lewis right?Comment

He's a total moron, he'll bring up Mike losing to Douglas but closes his eyes, ears and starts yelling when you mention Purity, Sanders and Brewster.Comment

Court case prick faceWait wait wait. This is complete bollocks.
Lewis had signed to fight the guy the fans wanted him to see: Michael Grant AND had approval from the WBA.
The snake Don King sued WBA, saying Ruiz needed a shot. Meanwhile, David Tua had a mandatory shot with the IBF.
WBA agreed to sanction the Grant fight with the caveat that the winner fights Ruiz within 6 months or something like that. David Tua was trying to get Lewis stripped in the meantime.
Lewis ended up fighting the #1 guy, not the boring man (to the fans, TV networks and everyone's pleasure).
To think that can come back and haunt him from a guy on the internet 20 years later is hilarious and embarrassing
(for you).Comment
