FFS I'm stuck in a hole watching these videos, all logical, credible and very entertaining 👍
Tyson has 1 good win and lost to every other good fighter he faces
Gave little Mac absolutely no love 💔
It looks like a grocery store full of tomato cans
Is easy to know…
Tyson With Kevin Rooney, top 1-3
Tyson Without Kevin Rooney, top 25-30
@EvBoxing My only argument is the Michael spinks. I feel like you had to do too much twisting and turning not to give it S tier. Mike Tyson being a bigger after he just beat an all time great bigger man cancels. The way the other big man decided to fight doesn’t make him smaller lol
It’s obvious that Mike was just leaps and bounds ahead of all the heavyweights out there when he was coming up. Had he stayed on his original trajectory? He would’ve been the greatest heavyweight of all time, but when he lost his guidance, it was a rap.. I’ll keep in mind Bruce Seldon was the WBA champion when they fought.
there are extenuating circumstances – Young Mike Tyson was on a trajectory to be The Most Dominant Fighter of our generation, and therefore in the running for all time . . . After Cus died, tyson was destroyed by the boxing company he was keeping . . . with more Cus and/or maybe a little more proper guidance then he fulfills more of that destiny.
Anytime I hear someone say Mike is the greatest, I know that person knows nothing about boxing.
Not to Nitpick, By your standards McBride is a C, maybe B- level fighter, Olympian who fought (and lost to) decent former champions like Golota after the Tyson fight.
Larry Holmes is top three of all time.
gets 8 points for beating a out of retirement as tupac said flabby and sick larry holmes and another 8 points for beating a about to retire light heavyweight mike spinks………………….. he shouldnt have got those 8 points—especially for holmes….holmes was not a 8 point fighter at the time
Mike Tyson is the Kobe Bryant of Boxing.
He's the Ronaldinho of Football.
Half the crowd believe in his resume. The other believe he was overrated.
Seeing Tyson box in the 2000s was sad
It's always been odd to me that Rocky Marciano and the Klitchskos always get an asterisk on their careers because of "lack of competition". Wonder why that is… Also. it occurs to me that if you're orders of magnitude beyond your competition, it's a sign of greatness, not mediocrity.
im 61 and saw all of mike's career. from what i remember mike was a boxer that would help his opponent up after knocking him down, early in his career. but people kept labeling him a monster, an animal a killer in gloves. i really think mike just wanted to give people what they wanted. at the end you could see the real mike. he was just sorry he disappointed his followers.
I always said Mike Tyson was a big black hype
Everyone's got an opinion until they get punched in the face.
Muhhamed ali is the best.
Really fantastic video – a very fair assessment of Tyson imho
We don’t talk about that Fake Paul fight
You got a lot of stuff factually wrong there. He lost to Lewis in R8, not R6. Bruce Seldon was WBA champion when he lost to Tyson, so 5 of his opponents were reigning champions, not 4. There's more but I wasn't taking notes.
Golota is Not Contest
Frazier was a joke. Tyson's best win was against Tucker… and Tucker broke his hand in that fight.
Holmes and Spinks were old. Holmes was a different fighter when he came against Mercer. Tyson gets no A+ fighters on his list. They all ko'd him.
..i love Mike always will ..hes hilarious in and out the ring old or new
Brilliant Guy
Excellent video and summation. Your points/tier system is quite accurate in forming an overall picture in my book.
Bad resume
Who would win between prime mike tyson and prime Lennox lewis in your opinion? and another question, Could Prime mike tyson beat prime Holyfield?
I don't see many fighters beating Mike before Guss died.
Mike the professional fighter one of the best of all time. Mike the entertainer not anything but millions of views. Look up Lenox Lewis interview on Mike in his prime he says it all, before Mike was framed we all dodged him but you can't have that long a lay off and dominate like you did, now it's my time lol
