....and Evander Holyfield is still 2 years older than Tyson so your point?
Mike tyson was the heavyweight division from 86 to 90. No one has ever held all the titles together for as long since.
Keep preaching your love of Tyson man, it doesn't change the reality of the situation which is A) He was in the right place at the right time and STILL couldn't hang on to success and B ) Lewis and Holyfield beat the fuck out of him...but if you'd rather compare him to OLD Holmes and Frank Bruno be my guest. I thought I was being kind to him by grouping him in with good company, but I guess you're right he wasn't even competitive vs Evander and Lennox so no reason to list him in there.
It was Lewis and Holyfield who never owned the division. No one has since Tyson.
How do you figure that Evander and Lennox never owned the division? Especially Lennox, that guy cleaned out the division when it was in much better shape than when Tyson was champ.
