Nothing further to discuss. This thread should be closed for stupidity.

 

Try to take a look at the other lists

 

:laughing: :bears:

Tyson was more or less the best for 4 years of the 80s - 86, 87, 88, 89.

That is 4 years out of 10 in the 80s.

How could u put him so low below those clowns?

 

Ok, maybe I underrated him a little bit. Point taken. What else?

 

Howcome you didn't add Eminem or Simon Cowell into any of your lists? :dunno:

 

A snake swallowed them both

 

::

It actually happened though!!!

 

:laughing: :laughing:

Tsyon should at least be No.2 in the 80´s.

 

Ugotabe is one of the most biased posters on this site. You'll seldom hear him express a coherent, reasonable opinion. No wonder his list is so bad.

 

Where is Golota? He should be ahead of bruno,byrd,ibeabuchi and foreman

 

tony tubbs should be in the top 5 in the 80s.

golata is shit. the guy NEVER WON A SIGNIFICANT FIGHT.

Michael Grant should be rated higher than that guy.

 

haha you're a fucking goof

 

bruno doesn't belong on the list at all.

Forgot about Tony Tucker, he belongs to the 8s list. Not sure about Tubbs though

 

what he said. And wheres Ron Lyle on the 70s list?

 

Pretty much perfect.

 

What did Ruddock do in 90s? Lost twice to Tyson, got ridiculed by Lewis and disappeared, only to take a beating from Morrison a couple of years later. He achieved nothing

1c) 1989 Mike Tyson

6) Frank Bruno
7) Tony Tucker

Foreman's linear/WBA/IBF title win over Moorer > anything choker Golota did
Ibeabuchi's KO win over contender Byrd and close decision win over contender Tua> anything choker Golota did
Bruno's WBC title win over McCall > anything choker Golota did.

And at least Bruno was competitive with Lewis, and lasted 2 and a half rounds with Tyson.
