No heavyweight in history, even in their Primes.

Nope, not him either.
None.

I will not back-off of this opinion.

thats stupid no one is unbeatable ..
true !! for sure no one is unbeatable....
and im not certain about the subject.... it may be beyond thought on wheather greats of other times could beat a pime tyson... but
not that he is unbeatable.. but prime vs prime considering styles could any heavywieght have ever beaten prime tyson?
i mean like i say hes not unbeatable, no one is but has anyone came about yet that could have convincingly beaten tyson at tip top level?
it would be hard nights work for prolly any hw era i agree with that but i dont agree with his comment about unbeatable but i do see foreman koing tyson early sorry
no need to be sorry mate....
power wise ...yes
if foreman was trained and learnt the game in this day and age(his late comback doesnt count he wouldnt have and didnt change much!! :P )
but skills wise tyson's amatuer training went a long way with his professional career and his skill accounted for that, depends on how he showed up or what have you...
you know i think if tyson wasnt so young crazy and aggressive and had given it a few more years of hard fighting before becoming world heavywieght champ i think he could have been more down to earth
( or should have been?)
and could have either lasted longer ...
or with the maturity he has now...
and the skill he had in his late teens early twentys he would have been as close to unbeatable as there ever was....
certainly i have no doubt prime tyson would have beaten prime lewis....
but like it goes... young roy jones beat young hopkins...
and old hopkins beats old roy jones hands down ..thats how it is..
but yes tyson is certainly up there close to the mark.. i agree no one is unbeatable as long as theyre human and breathe the same air as the rest of us though!
peace
