This might be a controversial opinion but I don't think Tyson is even a top 10 heavyweight of all-time.

He's top 10. He may not crack the top 5, though.

Smallish heavyweight during a really down period for the division.

I mean, is he going to beat Joe Frazier? Ken Norton? Ernie Shavers?

It's the prevailing opinion among boxing experts. You almost never see him rated in the top 10 by any boxing writers.

The whole "Mike Tyson would be the GOAT if Cus hadn't died" or "Mike Tyson in his prime could wreck anybody" is one of the silliest oft-quoted myths in all of sports.
