He fought most of the guys he could fight,I don't remember him ducking anyone in his prime,so you cannot really criticize him. I don't remember Lewis calling him out earlier in his career and had Tyson had started off in the 90's,I have no doubt whatsoever he would have dominated,his skills surpassed anything I see from the current generation,I only envisage Tua and Ibeabuechi's power giving him trouble. The fact that RJJ can move up and win a title,the fact that everyone can beat everyone,the fact that James Toney,in his condition,can hang with these guys and the fact that B Hop,a fricking 160 pounder a year ago is moving up shows the state of the division!
Fact is,Tyson had 1 punch power,power in both hands,head movement,speed,great defence with his bobbing and weaving etc etc,I just don't see how any of the current HW's could hang with him,none of them has even remotely the same amount of skill and his resume is probably better the current generations too"
