Especially Biggs and Ratliff. :lol:
Quality fighters. Tyson finished them. He finished all the 'next big things' - Biggs, Truth Williams, Ruddock. Boxing was a much higher level back then.
Biggs was stopped by nearly every top fighter he faced. Ratliff has never won a top notch heavyweight. What a superb quality in comparison to the likes of Whyte and Chisora FFS.

Tyson finished Tyrell, who was predicted by many to beat Tyson.

Cause Tyrell was an accomplished amateur. But the pros ain't no amateurs. Biggs didn't face any remarkable opposition before Tyson. After that nearly every top guy bashed him out.

Tyson Fury - YES

Anthony Joshua - NO

Dillian Whyte - NO

Dereck Chisora - NO

Joe Joyce - NO

Daniel Dubois - NO

Hughie Fury - NO

David Price - NO

Nathan Gorman - NO

David Allen - NO
Joshua would last more than 3. Hughie probably would too.

I doubt most of the rest would.

Biggs was also doing enough coke to kill a particularly robust hippo, his handlers knew that and so cashed out early
