Is Mike Tyson A Shame On The Sport Of Boxing?

[rambov]

Mike Tyson is an example of what happens when greddy vultures take advantage of a mentaly challenged young man with amazing ability.

Boxing is corrupt.

Boxing has always had a bad name, and the fact that Tyson was allowed to fight again only showed that boxing is all about MONEY.

Tyson ensured that eventhough he was not a great fighter anymore, he would still outsell Holyfield and get much more media attention than both him and Lewis put together.

Millions of people paid to watch Tyson fight after he bit Holyfield and had been convicted of raping an 18 year old.
So who really gives boxing a bad name?

[Dorian]

This isn't about whether he got people into boxing.
Its about what he did brought shame to boxing.
Would you excuse Hatton if he decided to bite FLoyds ear off on Dec 8th??

What is ****ing wrong with you people?

No way is he a shame to boxing. He's one of the greatest and most exciting fighters to ever enter the ring. His personality also got him such media attention all over the world. People loved to see him KO people.

I honestly dont think he made the general public think any less about boxing. They just thought he was an animal.

As a boxing fan what really brought shame on boxing is the fact he was allowed to fight again.
