I think Tysons reign all of the way up to the point of Spinks edges out Barrera on this one.

He was unstoppable during that time.

Destroyed everyone put in front of him.

Completely agree...

Far greater longevity too.

MAB, his trilogy with Morales alone puts him ahead, then there's the schooling of Hamed.

Tyson being unstable cost him

Marco Antonio Barrera and it's not close.

Barrera. But I do rate Tyson as a heavyweight more than most do

Yes, Barrera has a better resume & better opponents, but that's not Mike Tyson's fault.

Like Roy Jones, he was just wayyyy more talented than everyone else in his time

To this day, Tyson's the only heavyweight in history to be ranked as the pound for pound king by The Ring Magazine.

Barrera was great, but he wasn't pound for pound king great.
