@TheMonkeyman725, many of those KOs/KDs came when he was an aged shadow of his former self, years after his peak. I'm sorry, but if you compare who Charles fought with who Tunney fought at 175 lb, it's a no contest. Don't forget that Charles was a small Light-Heavyweight (only went up originally ...

@bethoveenzeyad, I think you're having a hard time telling the difference between an opinion and a fact, sonny.

@hghonlyfe, stick to basketball, as you clearly know nothing about boxing, its training or its disciplines. Using your stupid logic, Eddie Chambers would have annihilated Mike Tyson. You = numpty.

@charlie65178, there was nothing controversial about the Farr verdict at all. I agree that Schmeling was unlucky to have to wait until Louis has beaten Braddock to win the title to get his shot again, but that wasn't Louis' fault. Mike Jacobs, fearing that the Nazis would faze Louis out forever i...

@MrMofo4eva, aaaawww, Naseem 'WOULD' have pounded Barrera, 'IF' he hadn't had an off day. Keep dreaming, and keep up with the excuses if it makes you happy. Naz sure was entertaining and a superb fighter, but if you can't accept that Barrera was a better one, then you're beyond help. Better on th...

@agenthelios1, Ali was 'just a big mouth'? Yeah, I'm sure it was only his big mouth which beat three all-time top 15 Heavyweights in Liston, Frazier and Foreman, as well as the likes of Norton, Patterson, Shavers, Quarry, Bonavena, Terrell, Folley etc. Nothing to do with his incredible boxing abi...

@k4n31985, I see Tyson groupies are still incapable of writing a sentence about him without using the word 'prime.' Let me guess, Tyson left his prime 1989, just before Douglas slapped his arse? That's what you morons usually come out with. At that point, Lewis was about half a dozen fights in to...

@decimus81, maybe if you actually knew anything about any boxer aside from Tyson, people might listen to you. Tyson being 4th here is a joke, because he shouldn't even be here at all.

@generalgeewhiz, good for you - curious, though, that you feel the need to state how superior you are by repeatedly pointing out something which you claim doesn't matter to you. If it doesn't matter, shut up about it.

@vamoalla9, the biggest fight in the world to take place in the Philippines? Get your head out of your arse. Pacquiao is driven by money as much as Mayweather is, he'd hate for it to be in the Philippines, you tit. America is where the money is.

@DTenpas1, are you serious? Tyson was in the middle of next week when he got up (having held on to the referee at one point to do so) and had to be told a few moments later that he'd been knocked out. The referee saved him from being absolutely brutalized, which is what would have happened if he'...

@josemezatorrez, whatever, your implication was obvious. As for your last point, each time a referee foolishly let a clearly dazed Tyson opponent continue they usually got even more detached from their senses within a few seconds - and that's exactly what would have happened to Tyson here. For fu...

@royseahawks, aaaawwww, jealousy really is a terrible thing, isn't it?

Fucking hell, Tyson groupies really are morons. Commenting with bollocks like 'Ah man, Mike should have knocked that prick out, fucking white people, man I bet Mike wanted to punch that faggot, this idiot shouldn't be allowed to even stand next to Tyson, man Mike should have punched him, blah bla...

@zerosword112, De la Hoya's mum had been dead for at least six years at this point...Not sure what you're talking about.

@chirmchirm, well Murali's strike rate was better than Warne's - so that's your argument out the window! Murali was better, simple as that - even if you take out his stats against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.

@MrKilluminati248, you're ignoring the fact that Lewis was only starting out as a professional when Tyson was in his fabled 'prime' which twats like you like to bang on about. Even more conveniently, you're ignoring the fact that Tyson was supposed to defend his WBC title against Lewis in 1996 - ...

Whichever way you look at it, Ali was the greatest Heavyweight of the lot. I doubt a single person would have a top 15 without Foreman, Frazier and Liston in it; Ali was 5-1 against them. How many other Heavyweights beat 3 all-time top 15 men? None. Moreover, the Ali of 1964-1967 was virtuoso, co...

@t00mm1, actually, Tyson's career hit its greatest heights after Cus died. Didn't go 'drastically downhill' at all.

"If if if if if if if, but but but but but but, coulda, woulda, shoulda (insert excuses here such as Don King, Robin Givens, Cus' death, firing Rooney, hard life, lying Desree Washington), if if if if if if, if only, if only, but but but, maybe, coulda woulda shoulda, PRIME blah blah blah, PRIME,...

@dakidfresh32, what do you mean 'ducked out of the sport the way he did'?? Ducked out as universally recognized Heavyweight champion having beaten everyone he'd ever faced and with a win over a man who has since proven himself a top Heavyweight (not interested in all the usual 'oh, but Klitschko ...

@mike649fox, if you could actually point out what I've said that's innaccurate or troll-like, then maybe you might have a point. But you don't. Anyone who doesn't subscribe to the 'Tyson is the greatest', in his PRIME he'd fuck anyone up, nothing bad he did was ever his fault, he never lost fairl...

In my life following the sport of football, I can't think of a single other manager who commanded, and continues to command, my respect the way that Sir Bobby does. I think the word 'great' gets overused and thrown about far too easily - but when you talk of Sir Bobby Robson, you really begin to ...

@GenocideVocalsguitar, that happened years after his career ended, you daft sod. Feel nothing but great sympathy for anyone who loses a child. But it's not yet another pathetic excuse (the kind that Tyson ball lickers like to come up with) for all his defeats and vile, disgusting acts.

Don't think you can strike a football any cleaner or more emphatically than that. Absolutely perfect acceleration through the shooting action and placement.

What a left foot Riise had.

Always felt Ronaldinho was overrated; his little flicks that often when to nobody and needless stepovers conned people in to thinking he was better than he was. He was consistently surrounded by virtuosoes, too. He was great, but what Henry did got results, and he often got them almost single-han...

@BigEZ919, I just did with my last comment....

In my own lifetime, this was without a shadow of a doubt the greatest test match innings I have ever seen.

Lara in full flow = the most gorgeous sight in the game. What a wonderful, wonderful player he was.

@Dagr8tmel, it was Harry Greb who fought (and beat) more Hall of Famers than anyone to be honest, and his (as well as Henry Armstrong's) exclusion from your top 10 is baffling. Hagler as high as four? At Middleweight alone I'd say that both Greb and definitely Monzon belong ahead of him. Others y...

@Punishem1391, I don't necessarily think that Ali is overrated, but there is something we agree on; Ray Robinson should be top dog. To me, his only rival for that honour is Armstrong. On any given day I could have them sharing top spot, but I could never put someone ahead of Robinson.

Watched this guy pick up his first world title in my hometown of Nottingham back in 2008 - he barely snuck past a 34 year old Witter (no great shakes himself) who still had 1.5 eyes on a British showdown with Hatton. Fair enough, but I expected to see improvement in the 3 and a half years since -...

@Ignorance213, two things, lame brain. Number one, this programme is from 1996, years before Pacquiao had accomplished anything noteworthy. Number two, Pacquiao isn't anywhere near great enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Robinson or Ali.

@FSMNoodlyAppendage, think it's because with Tyson, there is rarely a middle ground. A lot (not all) of his fans like to think of him as God with boxing gloves on, & therefore overplay his wins. His detractors want to act as if he'd have been a bum in any other era, so therefore overplay how shot...
