How come the general public believes Mike Tyson is better than Lenox Lewis and Evander Holyfield

[Standing on business]

 

[EBK String]

Because his style was more exciting

 

[King Poetic]

It’s clearly based off of Tyson life and how public it was and the fact he knocked out bums and the people he was around and associated with and not truly based on boxing

 

[Pressure]

His video game.
Prison.

 

[Love Sosa]

I don’t think people think he is better than Holyfield

 

[Luke Cage]

I mean realistically, Tyson never beat any real quality opponents when you think about.

unless you count

 

[3rd Ward Swangin]

He turned down that Holeyfield fade for 25 million. He didn't want those problems on some

 

[CoryMack]

nikkas believe in Tyson harder than they believe in white jesus. And have been even more disappointed lol

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Media. Mike is top 15 at best in terms of HW. He's no where near a GOAT.

Razor Ruddock
Bonecrusher Smith
Michael Spinks

 

[Luke Cage]

Razor Ruddock
Bonecrusher Smith
Michael Spinks

Only hall of famer in the list is spinks, and that was literally the final fight of his long career.

Breh they believe that shyt. I remember arguing with a Pakistani friend who was saying the top 2 boxers in the world were Ali & Tyson because their names were known over there.

He couldn’t even entertain the fact that Joe Frazier beat Ali or Holyfield beat Tyson. He legit called them bums.

I’ve never been so heated in my life over a boxing discussion.

 

[Supreme365]

Most people don’t know shyt about boxing

 

[KingDanz]

Because of Cus D'Amato

holyfield needs the money not Tyson
