The name "Iron Mike" was the name of a famous Paratrooper, LTG. Robert F. Sink, where his statute sits on Armstead Ave, in Ft. Bragg N.C. (we ran that route 3x a week! 3 1/2 miles!)

Mike Tyson was Introduced as "Iron" Mike Tyson after he beat Bone Crusher Smith for the WBA Heavy Weight belt. The first dude I heard say it was Michael Buffer, when he fought Pinklon Thomas. not sure who gave him the name, but he was called Iron Mike after Cuz Damato died.
