only reason he isn't is cause neither Wlad nor Vitali is ever given the credit they deserve, because if any of the guys in the lower side of the top 10 were to beat him it would be more or less the same as them losing to Douglas, no one in the HW division is anywhere close to either bro, you could NEVER say that about Mike
You obviously dont remember how massive he was then

There was a feeling that Mike was unbeatable. With the Klitschkos the general concencus is that they are on top because they are so big that the poor division cant beat them (although Purity, Byrd, Sanders, Lewis and Brewster have) , they arent unbeatable and have never been thought of as such. While Mike was with Rooney he was being called unbeatable and they were having to take fighters out of retirement and other weight classes specifically to try and challenge him.
Mike was only thought of as "unbeatable" cause he would psych his opponents out and intimidate them, they were done before the fight would start, look at the Seldon fight, neither Wlad, Vitali, much less Joe Frazier would have been psyched out by ANY VERSION of Mike Tyson, so once the bell rang Tyson would already be facing an up hill battle
Oh here we go

Yeah yeah... If they fight back... Mikes a bully...

Look how well Wlad did when he wasnt intimidated by Sanders

Mike fought the same whether they were scared or not. He had to fight against Rudduck and that was the far less skilled version of Mike.

I wish people would just stop acting like kids, stamping their feet and crossing their arms and denying how good Mike Tyson was.

Even the old washed up version lasted longer with Lewis than Vitali could and (apparently) Lewis wasnt as prepared as he could be whereas his whole career was based around facing Tyson

No one ever says if Lewis fought the prime Vitali hed lose but plenty say it about Tyson

and before any comments about Tyson losing to Lewis. Who thinks a prime Louis would lose to Marciano?
how many rounds did Tyson win against Lewis? the same fight that Lewis was only toying with him, and basically effortlessly dominated until he finally decided to put him away, unlike against Vitali which was stopped due to a bad cut, not because he was KTFO like Mike was (you might wanna rewatch that fight), Klitschko fought the same Lewis that Mike did seeing how it was his very next fight

thing is you're still hung up and think that Iron Mike is or was the greatest HW of all time, and the sad thing is that you can't see how much bullshit that is even though the smoke has cleared and he never reached half the expectations that people had of him, after every loss he's given a bullshit excuse by fan boys like you, against Douglas (he didn't train and well, didn't have Rooney, and the long count), Holyfield I (the jail sentence changed him), Holyfield II (Evander "cheated" so he "deserved it"), Lewis, Williams, and McBride (Tyson was shot to shit and was only fighting for a paycheck), sorry but Mike lost or looked crap against guys he should have beaten, and never did anything to change after his losses, both Klitschko's lost and then went on to dominate everyone else cleaned out the division and do it effortlessly no matter how weak the division is (it's not much different to how bad the division was in 86 when Tyson picked up the championship), but breaking this all down is a mute point cause no matter how many people drill it into your head you will always be hell bent on trying to make everyone believe that Tyson is the greatest fighter to step in the ring
