Well imo you shouldn't be rated higher than someone because someone had disadvantages then we might aswell rate Rocky as number 1 then because he had biggest disadvantages out of the lot.
I disagree cause if Floyd Patterson was a 6'5 240 pound natural heavyweight, he wouldnt be seen like he is. What made Tyson amazing to me was he was usually the much smaller guy but he could overpower these bigger guys. Not many guys Evanders size could trade with Lennox Lewis let alone nearly beat him. And whay made Shannon Briggs so great is that he did it all with a huge disadvantage; a debilitating disease.
