It really is a shame about Tyson and what happened to him after Cus D'amato died, the discipline he was taught in the ring completely disappeared and this lead to his downfall. There's alot of debate about who's the greatest boxer and it's difficult to compare eras but Tyson was one of the greatest heavyweight boxers.

Tyson is a brawler, not a boxer, Lennox lewis showed us that.
If a contest between Tyson and his opponent was not over in the first few rounds, more often than not, the opponent won.
As for Tyson being one of the greatest boxer's, he might get in the top twenty of all time, but would be placed in the lower part imo.
