yea
but I'm not puttin old people in my top five like rocky marciano
I just looked at his career and dude literally has no fights worth mentioning
he beat joe louis in joe louis' final fight
a lot of the ppl he faced in his championship bouts were literal trash cans, with "decent" records but when you go look at who THEY faced, they faced ppl that were like 15-19, 5-3, a few sprinkled in that were like 60-60 in their 40s
but that isn;t impressive. Rocky Marciano should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Mayweather, not the other way around (even though we talkin bout Tyson)
but Tyson can be top five for several reasons
for one, not only does he have 44 KOs, but OVER HALF of them were in the first round
he won the belt at the age of 19 right?
he beat grown men, that were in their physical primes, at the age of 19 son
that's very difficult to do
he beat Michael Spinks (on the path to be a HOFer?) in the first round and ended his entire boxing career
