Which boxer ranks highest in the all time p4p echelon w/o ever defeating another all time great boxer? The Klitchko bros stand out in the HW division but what about other weight classes?
James toney ? ( Only big win against 40yrs Old roy) maybe in recent years chaves jr or kovalev but not realy conciders all time great
2 tiers bellow all time great imo. I'd say he qualifies, but I was more interested in the lower divisions tbh. How far can you get w/o proving yourself against another legend?Tyrell Biggs, Donovan Ruddock and Tony Tucker were solid Tyson victims
i mean he did beat larry holmes. far past his prime, sure, but still an atg. michael spinks was very good as well.Tyrell Biggs, Donovan Ruddock and Tony Tucker were solid Tyson victims
You must be thinking of someone besides Toney. Toney beat Holyfield and depending on your definition of great- Nunn, McCallum and Jirov.
I actually think Spinks is the more underrated Tyson victory.In that case I would have to correct my Mike Tyson pick. I thought he were talking about beating them in their greatness, because Holyfield was past it by the time Toney beat him, even though it was a brilliant performance by Toney nonetheless.
Tyson beat Larry Holmes.
Emanuel Augustus was a tougher fight for Floyd than Canelo.Holmes certainly gave Tyson a tougher fight than Spinks, who was intimidated and frozen as fuck. But then again you're right, as Spinks was closer to his prime than Larry.
That's why I think this talk about "ATG", distinction between good and great is nonsense is anyway. Often its the physical and mental state of the day that decides.
James Tillis gave Tyson a tougher fight than both of them. So did Buster Douglas.
