Says alot about the guys he fought in his prime
That's my point. Does it really say a lot about his opposition, or does it mean he was that good he made everyone in his division seem average?

Who did he beat that is worth mentioning when he was in his prime?

an old over the hill Larry Holmes?


When you fight average fighters, ofcourse you will look good. This is why we get the younger generation thinking Tyson would win. They see his fights in the late 80's against weaker guys and think he's invincible but completely ignore fights against Buster Douglas (an average fighter), Holyfield, Lewis when he was actually tested against guys who used smarter tactics.

Oh there they go! There they go, every time I start talkin about boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out their ass. That's their one! That's their one! Rocky Marciano! Rocky Marciano! Let me tell you something once and for all. Rocky Marciano was good, but compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain't sh*t.
