Iron Mike Tyson 'reigned' during the forgettable late 80s HW scene, but who did he really beat? His 'win' over the shell of Larry Holmes was nothing but payback for Larry Holmes' 'win' over the shell of Ali, who, at the time, struggled to get out of a chair never mind fight (footage available as evidence online), so that was no great shakes, then Spinks, a terrified LHW with a padded record and with no power, say what you want about Jake 'The Great' Paul, but he's a far harder puncher than Spinks and much more fearless. He even dared step into the squared circle to face unbeaten great, Tommy Fury.
Tyson faced 5 world class boxers in his career and lost to all of them. Holyfield X2, Lennox Lewis, Buster Douglass, Danny Williams, The Brixton Bomber, and Kevin McBride, the fighting pride of Ireland. Tyson was battered in all six of these fights. Can he redeem himself and prove that he is at least a good HW, if not a great one, or is Jake Paul in the mix with the aforementioned guys, and just too good for Mike Tyson? Nash out - His Excellency
