@area51er6 He became the first heavyweight to win the WBA, the WBC, and the IBF. Whether or not another heavyweight after Tyson has managed to replicate this acheivment, I don't know, I don't really follow boxing anymore.
Sry, but no! He was just inable too cope with all the bad things that happened to him outside of the ring. His "mentor", so to speak , died early in his career, he married a very questionable woman and then Don King took over his career and sucked the soul out of him. In my book he his the most wasted boxing talent ever. He was faster and stronger than any heavyweight and his punches came from angles you would've never expect. He was a victim of the greediness of mankind crashing down upon him.
That was beautifully put, Tyson is was such a humble and nice person, it was like he was just happy to find someone that loved him (Cus D'Amato), and to finally be someone everyone loved. He was at times afraid if he lost people wouldn't love him anymore, it was sad how the media and greedy thieves around him destroyed his life.
tyson was great and would have gradually got better under rooney, he would have been more realaxed.similar to how pacquiao has improved under Freddie roach
I remember in high school going to a friends house every time Tyson fought on Pay-Per-View. We'd have to wait a couple hours for the preliminary fights to get over and then we'd watch Mike take someone out in the first round. Seemed like it happened every time, but we loved to watch him do his thang and didn't miss a fight.
Tyson may have been taken 12 by Bonecrusher, but, as a big Tyson fan, that wasn't his best. He even said he had to get his head chopped off by Rooney because of it. He went the distance with Mitch Green, too, and Tucker, but, he showed that he could score points against distance fighters, even quick Tillis. I am not going to presume Tyson would defeat everyone had he stayed with Rooney, since we'll never know. I'd like to think he would, though.
Its sad that Tyson got rid of the people on his side that where there to help him and instead went with the ass kissing yes men and the devil known as Don king...that was the end of the Great Iron Mike Tyson.
IT's a real shame the Mike lost Cus. Obviously there is no excuse for the way he went but circumstances didn't help much. Maybe Cus could have kept him right. Who knows.
god wogan is a cunt, an "irishman" who wishes he was english, and will call himself british rather than irish, stay in britain terry you cunt

when he was with CUS he was Pound for Pound the best boxer that had ever lived ( more dynamic than Ali )
Tyson was a great defensive boxer as well as being able to blast off multiple combinations and a very agressive finisher as well ...
Ali was a dancing boxer with no real power, just endurance and speed...Tson had endurance speed power in both fists and was able to coner his oppenets

And which elite boxer did Tyson ever beat in his very short prime? It's all supposition.
Prime Tyson was taken the full 12 by Bonecrusher Smith....

yep bone crusher held on, and did everything he could to keep away, there was no real fight there .
you tell me which boxers/fighters did tyson duck in the 80S ?
And remember tyson in the 80s was still a very young guy.
As far as i can remember Tyson faught anyone and everyone that was around at the time.
the likes of lennox and holyfield ducked fights with him, till they both knew tyson was a shadow of his former self.
If you think tyson was that crap, why didnt you take him on ?
