“Who Did He Beat Again?”: Despite Holding Unbreakable Record for 36 Years and Avenging Muhammad Ali’s Loss, Mike Tyson Being Mentioned by Roy Jones Jr. in His Top 4 List Doesn’t Sit Well With Fans

Eighteen knockouts in a debut year. Thirty-six years later, still unbroken. Mike Tyson, is a name that resonates with unparalleled prowess in boxing’s history. Roy Jones Jr., another boxing stalwart, recently revealed his all-time top four. Ali. Robinson. Duran. Tyson. An eclectic mix, some might say. Most would nod in agreement with three on the list. But Tyson? Despite avenging Ali’s loss and holding a record untouched for over three decades, his inclusion raises eyebrows.

Is it the ferocity of his punches? Or the shadow of controversies that trailed him outside the ring? Maybe it’s the era of competition he faced. In a sport revered for its technique, stamina, and strategy, personal choices can also ignite public debates. This list by Jones Jr. promises to do just that.

Why fans agree with Roy Jones Jr. on Ali, Robinson, and Duran

Diving straight into the crux, Roy Jones Jr. delineated his top four boxers for the world to behold. His ensemble read: Muhammad Ali, the charismatic powerhouse; Sugar Ray Robinson, the embodiment of technique and finesse; Roberto Duran, with his relentless aggression; and Mike Tyson, the very epitome of raw power.

Now, the first three inclusions were, by and large, met with collective nods of agreement. Each of them has etched their name into the annals of boxing history with undisputed legacies. Yet, it was the mention of Mike Tyson that seemed to stir the pot.

A user weighed in first, asserting, “The first 3 he was spot on I can live with that.” The undertone here seemed to be that while the initial trio was beyond reproach, Tyson’s placement was up for debate. Giving a different spin, another user opined, “Those are the fighters he was inspired by.” This perspective suggests that Jones Jr. might have created the list based on who inspired him and not the boxers’ accolades.

🥊 2. Sugar Ray Robinson
🥊 3. Roberto Duran
🥊 4. Mike Tyson

However, another person’s stark query cut through, “Mike Tyson!!! Who did he beat again?” Their comment alluded to a lingering sentiment among some fans, questioning the quality of opponents Tyson faced during his heyday.
Another fan, contributing to the dialogue, remarked, “Good list. So many greats. I’d say Jack Johnson over Tyson. He probably would too.” Their stance introduced another boxing legend into the mix, hinting that perhaps Tyson’s inclusion was more contentious than initially perceived.Another keen observer’s comment encapsulated the broader sentiment, saying, “Was all going so well until he mentioned Tyson.” It was evident that while Jones Jr.’s list began on a universally agreeable note, Tyson’s mention ruffled a few feathers.class=”jsx-1883686743″>
