Is Mike Tyson A All Time Great?

Makaveli Joker · May 2012

If he is, who has he beat worth mentioning? What accolades does he have that separates him from other greats.

All time great? No sure. Top 10, yes. He was a beast no doubt. He didn't fight anybody though. He's a pit and he was fighting weiner dogs.

If he fought nobody and beat nobody how is he top 10?

...the fuck are you talking about? If you think he's not an all-time great, how the fuck can you say he's top 10. There's not just ONE all-time great. There's a plethora of them (Hagler, Hearns, Duran, Mayweather, Ali, Robinson, Jack Johnson, etc).

You say the dumbest fucking things b? Dude, what the fuck?!?!?

Well, there arent alot of great boxers period. He is 50-6-2. With 44 knockouts, which is impressive. But he Won WBC Heavyweight Title against Trevor Berbick. Come on son

Why you mad? It's a debate. Instead of catching feelings, tell me why he is an all time great.

...and you still don't get it. I'm not debating whether he's an all-time great or not. I'm discussing your backwards logic.

smh

The one legend he fought was Holyfield. Holyfield mopped the floor with Tyson. Tyson ducked Holyfield who was the number 1 contender and fought Douglas. He aint want it with Holyfield

...I never once heard of Tyson ducking Evander.

..never

Makaveli Joker · May 2012

He ducked Holyfield back when he fought Buster Douglas. Holyfield was the number 1 contender that time and Tyson knew he couldnt beat Holyfield

how is somebody a top 10 all time but not an all time great....

I already said. You have to be top 3 to be an all time great imo. Tyson isn't top 3.

I understand it's your opinion, BUT boxing has been around far too long and had far too many great boxers to limit all time greats to three. It's pretty asinine to think you can honestly.

Makaveli Joker · May 2012

There are a lot more than 3 all time greats

Ali
Fraiser
Louis
Johnson
Holyfield
Foreman
Dempsey

And so on

Smh@this bum shit. The dudes he fought were top fighters at the time. He suffers from the Roy Jones complex in that he made his competition look weak as fuck.

You can't be a top 10 WORLD ranked boxer and be ass. People make it sound like he was at the Golden Gloves beating up kids.

Truth Writer · May 2012

if Floyd ain't Top 10, neither is Mike.

Mike killed boxing during the 1980s, but his post-jail shit costed him the Top 10 status.

He's Top 15, tho.
