Anyone is better than who he fought
O.K Since we were talking about 1986-89 which is when Tyson dominated and when he fought all those people you claim were bogus, here's what I make of your list

Evander Holyfield - In 1986 Holyfiled weighed 190 pounds, didn't step up for Heavyweight title fight till 91

Oliver McCall - Only turned pro in 85 and didn't even reach NABF level till 92 - has also lost to Bruno & Tucker WHO TYSON BEAT

Gerry Coetzie - Retired in 86 after been blown away in one round by the same Frank Bruno that you classed as being one of Tyson's lowly opponents

Michael Dokes - was fighting stiffs between 86 and 89 and was stopped by holyfield in 89

Greg Page - went 6-4 between 86-89 and lost to Joe Bugner in the process - hardly begging to fight for title. He has also lost to Seldon, Douglas, Tubbs & Ruddock - ALL OF WHOM TYSON BEAT

Tim Witherspoon - knocked out in a round by Bonecrusher (WHO TYSON BEAT) in 86 and hardly fought for next 3 years - although I do agree this would've been a test for Tyson
