Originally posted by -Kev- View PostTyson wasn't fighting Wladimir Klitschko level fighters when he was fighting frequently. When Tyson's opposition level increased above D level he had to fight 2-3 times, especially after he lost to Douglas, they brought his activity down a notch. Every new fighter fights a massive amount of times in one year. For example in a 12 month span, the first 12 months of his career, Floyd fought 11 times. Pacquiao fought 11 times in his first 12 months too, etc.
No fighter can actually sustain fighting top level guys every month. Fighters with 100 fights have the most bums in their resume. Joshua can't even fight the Whyte's and Breazeale's of the world (decent but not elite fighter) every month. That's too much. And fighters of yesteryear weren't doing that either. They were fighting guys like you and me, who just got off the couch to collect a little check and never had a chance in hell.

Originally posted by bluepete View PostMike's run as a prospect was better than AJs. Ferguson, Tillis, Mitch Green at least comparable to Dillian Whyte.Hes eighties challengers at least as good as what's out there now. Tucker has to be better than Wilder and Parker just to the naked eye. But I guess it's a TV dates thing.

Originally posted by joe strong View PostToo be honest I would put Ferguson & Tillis on the same level as Nagy Aguilera or Fred Kassi. Dillian Whyte is better than that. I can't say I would put Tucker ahead of Parker or Wilder but he would definitely be there in the mix today.
