I just dont go for the TYSON in 88 was unstoppable , yes he ripped through the HW's but he was beatable , he just fought poor fighters , when Tyson faced better fighters who fought back he lost via KO , he was not unbeatable.
Lets also not forget Tyson was a very small HW , he never faced anyone who was the size of Vitali , Smith was 16 stone 4 , i loved watching Tyson in his prime but he was over rated.
....finally someone with some logic enters the thread. Let's not forget that D'Mato and Rooney pressure fighters burned out early regardless of their greatness
We're talking one fight... prime, Sherlock. Burning out is besides the point. Point is who wins prime for prime. Unlike you, I can separate Vitali from Wlad. I think prime Tyson scares the shit out of Wlad, and proceeds to dismantle him. Wlad is safety first. Tyson is "to hell with caution I'm gonna rip your head off your shoulders". Tyson could also take a punch. I've always said Tyson vs Vitali would be a lot more competitive. Two big differences: Vitali wouldn't walk in scared... and Vitali could take a good punch.
Even Tyson post prison (3years!!) was still a threat. And why are we talking about rooney and cus and what other champions they didnt have, tyson mafe up for everyone else.
Just remember a mike tyson at 15 years old was something out of this world that was sparring with grown men sparring partners.
Youngest heavyweight champion in the world with tremendous speed and power for a small man.
There is nothing overated about tyson.
