I know it was cool that he took a string of guys' 0's by knockout, but if you're going anywhere near the long view necessary to talk about whole freakin' centuries, you have to acknowledge that his resume at this point is basically Wlad and 19 guys who won't be remembered for anything.
Bang on, boxing fans thought history (myself included) have always been too quick to crown the next TBE, we get caught up in all the excitement of the hype machine and stop noticing the flaws, put it this way, when Tyson was in his prime I literally thought he was unbeatable, I don't feel that way at all about Joshua
I never thought Tyson was unbeatable.. I don't even think Joshua is unbeatable.. NOBODY is unbeatable... How could anyone think Tyson was unbeatable when he'd never fought a big, tall, strong, fast, smart, skilled, motivated, confident dude like Buster Douglas???. When Douglas watched the Tyson-Tucker fight he said, "I KNOW I can beat Tyson."

Nobody believed Buster but his mom and dad... Buster's friends didn't even believed him.. That really pissed him off... If you're a top professional boxer, you know... You don't need to be justified by somebody else's opinion... Tyson was short, light, and hittable.. He wasn't super skilled and his game obviously had holes in it.. That doesn't spell unbeatable.
Because Tony Tucker was all those things Douglas was but better............Tyson did have holes in his game. But at his best, he was hard to hit.
