Boxing = Mike TysonAh, what? Mike Tyson. He doesn't even deserve to be included on top ten list. Sure, he was good, had a heavy and precise punch but he fought mostly bums and washed up boxers. He lost when it counted, to Lewis and Holyfield. His trainer dying had a lot to do with it, things went downhill from there. I think that people say he's the greatest because of aggresive fighting **** he's one of the recent good boxers and one of the most memorable. But that doesn't make him the greatest, not by a long shot.Mozelleple112
Ali on the other hand, he fought in the golden era of boxing. Foreman, Frazier, Shavers, Norton, Cooper... These were all great boxers defeated by Ali (some more than once). He also never lost by KO and has won the heavyweight title three times, and that was a lot harder back then so Holyfield's four aren't exactly a match. He took part in several historic bouts, like The Thrilla in Manilla, The Fight of the Century and The Rumble in the Jungle.
If there was to be a discussion about who's the greatest boxer of all times, it should be about Ali, Sugar Ray and Louis. Tyson doesn't belong here.
