Lots of boxers think they were better than they really were. It is not that unusual. If Tyson was the greatest of all time what would that make Holyfield who kOed the younger Tyson twice What would that make Lewis. What would that make the guys who beat Holyfield when Tyson lost to him? Tyson peaked at a young age and was a great puncher and one of the better heavyweights in history but certainly not the best. He had too many KO loses.

That seems to me a fair assessment of Iron Mike as a whole.
Because it’s a made up distinction.
Same reason Floyd started calling himself TBE and had shirts and hats that look like they were made at a local mall for sale.
