Granted, but s lot of those guys were fairly piss poor! Do you think an Ali, Frazier or a Foreman would have let Tyson stomp through them in the first round like some of those fellas did??
Maybe until second round then...just kidding. It's hard to say but for a brief period in late 1980's, as long as kept his personal life in order and under a good trainer, he seemed tops. Just as Marciano needed trainer Charlie Goldman to achieve greatness, Tyson needed someone like Rooney. The fighters you mention had much better style and class in the ring, I'll give you that, but Tyson had something I'd never seen before.
