Yes, Donaire, Marquez, Pac, and Floyd have KO'd bums in the beginning of their careers but they stepped up in class and beat, KOd hall of famers/extremely high level competition. Any knowledgable boxing fan that watches ALL boxing will tell you Tyson was highly overrated and not great nor anywhere near great.

 

Yes, Tyson had power against Low Tier opposition. Quit acting like the guys he beat were P4P fighters cause they weren't. They were shit.

 

No. If Tyson had beat Lewis and Holyfield, he'd deserve to be pretty high up on the list in terms of ranking as a heavyweight but he didn't. Any knowledgable boxing fan doesn't consider Lewis nor Holyfield bums. Not trying to get at anything other than the fact that everytime Tyson stepped up to fight the best, he got KOd everytime. Hell, he got KOd by a fellow bum.

 

You sound like this guy I know. Only knows Tyson and considerst Tyson the greatest. Let go of the nostalgia and look at the accomplishments. Pretty crappy.

Jones was good. He beat good opponents such as Hopkins, Toney, Ruiz. But once he got caught, it was over. He didn't live up to the P4P legendary status.

 

Tyson has also ranted/discussed his desire to kill, his dissapointment at not killing a fellow boxer, and how certain things keep him from killing someone. Pretty freaking psycho.

 

Besides, stop talking about their personal lives. We are talking about boxing in the ring, Not outside.


Give me some examples of people who claim Tyson is "highly overrated"? Are you talking about random fans specifically?

 

Tyson still didn't kill anyone though. Valero had to kill his self for what he did.

 

You're trying to say that Tyson is a bum.... that's all that needs to be known you want to find out if somebody actually knows their shit about boxing.

 

Tyson a bum? LMAO XD!

 

What a great laugh. Thanks

Here ya go. You can see that educated boxing fans prove their points on why Tyson was overrated and frankly, no where near a GOAT.

Who said that Tyson was the greatest of all time? This has nothing to do with what you said. They're are talking about being the GOAT.
