He beats morrison, a comeback bound foreman, moorer and lennox lewis. Where does he stand if that happens?
Much higher on the list than he is now for sure. Top 10 definitely.
But I think even if Tyson stayed focused, he still would've lost to Holyfield and Lewis. I think he lost to those guys because of styles and skills, not because he wasn't focused. I think he would've lost to Holyfield and Lewis no matter what.
