Where do you rank the great Mike Tyson in the heavyweight all time rankings?
He was very good, and beat fairly good opposition. He was champion for almost 4 years in the first reign, making 10 title defenses. That's pretty good.

I think I had him 14 the last time I did one. He's interchangeable from about 9 -20 with a bunch of guys like Liston, Marciano, Dempsey, Charles, Walcott, etc.

About number 12 for me. Who'd have thought in the late 80s that anyone would rank him outside the top ten or even lower part of the top ten at best?

Not many picked Evander over Tyson in 87, 88, 89 all the talk was about how he'd go unbeaten throughout the 90s
