Tyson & Chavez were in their primes 20 years ago. The era is 1993 to present. They were well past their primes by 93. Tyson was in prison...

I think they are def. top 20-30..It's the era that they are in that is holding them back..Shit,if its ever going to happen,it'll be a Klitchko to unify the titles..They're the closest guys to do it since Lennox Lewis.. |

Regardless of the reason, they're held back. They don't get extra points for beating weaker fighters than say Lennox faced in the 90's. |

I do believe Vitali would have been competitve in any era, but he can't get a pass based on assumption. |
