Tyson was knocked out because he stuck around too long? He was 23 ffs.

You have already stated that Tyson was before your time, and methinks you have rose tinted spectacles on. Those of us old enough to remember his rise and fall are less impressed, hence the reason why no independent expert poles have Tyson in their top ten heavyweights...I suppose you rate him higher.

I know a rabid Ricky Hatton fan that swears blind he would beat Duran at 140lbs. I can't prove him wrong, as we'll never know, but my own opinion is that Hatton could only win with a hand grenade.
