no doubt..kahn and tyson..tyson esp had potential,,nothing can be taken away from tyson he could hit hard, move, was quick, duck and dodge, but when he fought the best guys from his on era he lost so there's no way he could be considered great..the great thing he did was win HW crown at 20...and that's only because holyfield didn't get to berbik first...and the fact that he forgot everything that he was taught by the better men of corner (pre don king era) is his fault..at very best tyson should be considered one of the greatest tragedies in the history of boxing not one of the greatest boxers...even prime vs prime, holyfield beats him 10 out 10...
