Tyson is no way a top 10 heavyweight - top 15 maybe. People always talk about how good he was in his prime, but who did he beat in his prime? Spinks? A blown up light-heavyweight. Bruno - never an elite heavyweight. An Aincent Larry Holmes?

A prime tyson is possibly the most overrated fighter of all-time.

My top 10 heavyweights (in no order)

Joe Louis
Ali
Lewis
Holyfield
Holmes
Foreman
Fraizer
Dempsey
Tunney
Liston

Are you serious?

He beat everybody there was to beat at the time

Given the chance a prime time Mike Tyson would've beaten anybody and that includes your list of 10

Don't be ridiculous! He didn't beat Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe, Moorer. He didn't evern fight the likes of McCall, or Tommy Morrison.

Tyson IS the most over-rated heavy-weight of all time.

Someone has posted his fight record and there is not one fighter over any note who he has beat unless you count victories of muppets like Frank Bruno which is what Tyson's reputation was built on...

The only decent fighters Tyson has fought, smashed him up - simple as...

Tyson has never beaten any fighter who could be considered even in the top-25 all-time heavy-weights and that validates he IS the most over-rated heavy-weight of all time and therefore you are a thick imbecile who has proved yourself to know absolutely nothing about boxing and shouldn't post on this thread for that very reason.
