I'd probably go along the lines of

Berbick, Ribalta...I don't find any of his other wins to be that impressive tbh, and no I'm not drinking the haterade.

Outside of Bruno, Berbick, and Jose I think the vast majority of the opponents Tyson fought and beat were scared of him and refused to fight, which I'll admit is impressive in the mental game, or they were drug addicted or had some horrible physical attribute that got taken advantage of, like Carl Williams's chin, or Pinklon Thomas's body going through withdrawls.

Has Tucker even been mentioned in the thread yet?

Maybe I'm off on this, but considering career stage (eliminating the "name value" of a couple) and what they brought to the table against Tyson, along with Ruddock, I think of Tucker as one of Tyson's two best opponents during that part of his career.

He hasn't been mentioned, but as you so accurately pointed out he should've.

I thought that too after posting.
Tucker was at that "I can do it" point in his career still and he had fine fundies, size and condition.

I must be getting old, because Im rather sickened by the poll on the front page with a majority of sherdoggers wanting to see a washed up, old and out of shape Mike Tyson fight Kimbo.

Im glad the rumors I awoke to this morning are just that, because to be honest it put me in a bad mood for the beginning of my day.
