Mike Tyson is one of the guys who got me into boxing as well but I just hate when people overstate what he was. He was a champion and a good one, he wasn't the greatest he wasn't close to being the best, he's better than most but he had a short prime and after losing to Buster Douglas he never did anything I think was all that great or worth notice besides losing to Holyfield and Lewis and obviously fighters don't get credit for losing.

I think had he fought some different fighters int he 1990's he wouldn't even have made it to Holyfield. Ray Mercer springs to mind as a guy who wasn't all that great who could have beaten Tyson up.

There were a ton of fighters I would have loved to see him take on: Moorer, Morrison, Mercer, McCall, Bowe, Briggs, Rahman, Ruiz, Tua, and maybe even Wladimir and Vitali.
