Tyson looked great because he never faught anybody with talent. The only good heavyweights he ever got in the ring with, Holyfield and Lewis, made him look silly.
I was pretty young during Tyson's heyday, but I think I recall him knocking out some guy in the first round that was a fairly well established and had never been KO'd before. I think he also beat Holyfield once. By the time he fought Lennox Lewis, he was just washed up.[/QUOTE]
He never beat Holyfield, he was 0 for 2 against him. In the 1st fight he got his a$$ kicked thoroughly and in the 2nd he was getting his a$$ kicked again before getting disqualified for showing traits of cannilbalism.
