Absolutely, although when looking at him one should keep in mind that his early record (when he established his reputation)contained a lot of tomato cans and assorted palookas.
In some ways, he is similar to Dempsey as a boxer (although Dempsey, while no prince, looks like Mahatma Ghandi as a human being next to Tyson.) Both had limited to non-existant ring skills, and depended on battering an opponent into submission. The big difference between them is that Dempsey seemed all but immune to pain, and Tyson really couldn't take a lot of punishment.
