let's not get things all twisted here, Mike Tyson was a very good boxer, youngest heavyweight champ in the history of the sport and he broke Marciano's KO record.
Mike Tyson had a very good offense and a very good defense
HOWEVER
The STYLE in which Mike Tyson fought was very beatable....look at Cus D'Amato's other fighters, same style, and they get beat in similar fashion.
The style was HORRIBLE vs the same people it was supposed to work against. It worked very well against SOME tall lanky fighters and vs others it didn't work at all. Also pressure fighters like Holyfield did well vs that style.
Mike Tyson was a very good fighter and he beat a lot of decent competition but not alot of GREAT competition. I think his style, his heart, and his psyche would make him vulnerable vs the greatest heavyweight of all-time no matter what their size
