Mike Tyson holds the most extraordinary accomplishment the history of Boxing

[Uturn]

WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles, 20 years old. Not only did he win those titles at age 20 - he won them decisively and took the heavyweight division by storm. Crushing world champions like never seen before on the big stage.

The greatest achievement to have ever been accomplished in the sport of Boxing IMO. Nothing will ever top this. Possibly the greatest accomplishment in the HISTORY of sports.

he unified the division in less than 2 years IIRC

[Weebler I]

How good were the champions he beat? C+? B+?

[Jack Napier]

he was 21 by the time he won the IBF belt
but valid point nonetheless, Tyson was the man
and he got rid of Spinks for the lineal title right before he hit 22

Very Respectable. Better than any opponents the K'brothers are facing today IMO. Its the way Tyson disposed of them. At age 20 years old to demolish champions in such a way was unheard of.

Still a very special achievement. I expect were going to be waiting a long time before its topped.

He was youngest heavyweight champ and youngest to unify the titles and be undisputed.
