Most of his high light real KOs were against total zeros. When he fought great fighters he generally lost. I'm sorry, but I am a real big one for proving your greatness against other great fighters to be considered an all timer and Tyson doesn't pass my test. All time great fighters beat a number of other great fighters and several very good fighters. Tyson beat 1 great fighter in Spinks and several other merely good fighters and a whole bunch of bums.
Everyone has a great highlight real against bums.
How can you say Tyson was overrated and then say it wasnt his fault he came across a weak heavyweight division?
Was Mike the best heavyweight in that division at the time he was ruling it, yes or no?
He wasnt overrated, he just had a weak division.
