I think a lot of Tyson's opponents are criminally underrated, best example is Tony TNT Tucker who was an absolute beast. Huge power and amazing boxing skills. Tyson was the only guy to beat him until he was 35 or so, when he lost to a young Lennox Lewis.

Who the fuck did Gene Tunney beat besides Dempsey himself? Greb, a middleweight? Who also beat him? Sheeesh, these old timers get a free pass on everything.

No only just getting warmed up.

I've got plenty of gasoline left to throw on the fire if need be!

We haven't even discussed prime Tyson vs prime Larry Holmes yet!!

Greb, Dempsey, Carpintier, Tommy Loughran, Tommy Gibbons, Battling Levinsky....Tunney fought some good competition.

Not as a heavyweight champion.

That's true.

He was good for his time, but that was the stone age of boxing. It's like comparing an AR-15 to a musket.

Can you imagine transplanting a guy like Tony Tucker back then to fight all those undersized, scared white boys?
