Frank Warren claims Mike Tyson NOT in top ten heavyweights ever and would have lost to Ali, Foreman and Frazier.

BOXING promoter Frank Warren has revealed he does not rank Mike Tyson in his top 10 heavyweights of all time.

Iron Mike, 54, is making a sensational return to the sport he ruled with fear in the late 1980s and 90s when he fights Roy Jones Jr in an exhibition fight on November 28.

Tyson won 50 of his 56 fights, bagging 44 KOs along the way.

But for Hall of Fame promoter Warren, the Baddest Man On The Planet’s indiscretions OUTSIDE the ring means he doesnt make his top 10.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Warren, 68, said: “Mike Tyson, when he was young and first got into boxing, he was exciting.

“A bit like Daniel Dubois in some ways, he sort of captured the public’s imagination in devastating style.

“He won a world title and everybody was talking about him. For me, he was one of the most exciting young heavyweights.

“However, he doesn’t get in my top ten because he just did not last the course.

“He was sodding around, drugging it and boozing, went to prison. He just didn’t do it for me.”

The Brooklyn brawler became the youngest ever heavyweight champ when he KO’d Trevor Berbick in 1986.

But Warren believes there would be a clutch of fighters who would have been able to deal with Tyson’s raw aggression.

He added: “I don’t think he would’ve beaten Sonny Liston, I don’t think he’d have beaten [prime] Larry Holmes, I don’t think he’d have beaten [Muhammad] Ali.

“I don’t think he’d have beaten Joe Frazier and I certainly don’t think he’d have beaten George Foreman.”

Warren has had somewhat of a chequered relationship with Tyson over the years.

The Islington-born promoter revealed how a £2million jewellery bill led to Mike Tyson PUNCHING him in 2000.

The promoter encountered ‘The Baddest Man On The Planet’ at the height of his infamy, with an unpaid jewellery bill coming back to haunt the fighter.

And Warren has opened up on the ‘pandemonium’ that the ‘petulant’ Tyson caused when flooring him inside a Park Lane hotel over the incident.
