The 25 greatest boxers in history regardless of weight class have been named and ranked as Mike Tyson has been snubbed of a spot in the star-studded list.

Tyson, who reigned over the heavyweight division at the peak of his powers, returned to the world of professional boxing when he fought Jake Paul last Friday.

But he succumbed to Paul, who scored a unanimous decision victory in their Netflix super-fight.

Despite the defeat to the 27-year-old, Tyson's legacy is set and stone, having captured a world title at the age of 20 years and four months, making him the youngest heavyweight champion in history.

However, sports and entertainment outlet Yardbarker has failed to include 'Iron' Mike in their top 25 boxers of all-time.

The list, though, features a series of legends, including former heavyweight champions George Foreman and Muhammad Ali, not to mention Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

Julio Cesar Chavez, Marvin Hagler, 'Sugar' Ray Lenoard and Roberto Duran are among the other icons who are named and ranked.
