    Post-retirement Rocky was like a Soprano/Bobby Deniro type of guy.

    Why do all the good die young and *******s like Bob Arum and Bert Sugar seem to live forever?

        Bert Sugar makes me laugh sometimes...

        Why is it you don't like him (purely out of curiousity)

          Why would anyone call Bert Sugar an *******? He's a funny guy with a good sense of humor. How the hell can you compare him to Arum?

            I think Bert is funny too but putting Mike Tyson #100 on the list of greatest of all time list is a pretty Ass-hole thing to do. It always pissed me off.

                I'll have to look at his list but honestly anything higher than top 50 would be an insult to the other guys. Do you realize how many great fighters there have been in all the different weight classes? It's iffy if Tyson is even a top ten fighter in his own weight class and considering all the champions and contenders like Langford who were better than the champions, well it's tough to squeeze Mike in over guys who accomplished more and displayed the mental strength that Mike never had a great deal of. Fighting is 80-90% mental and Tyson's confidence issues were part of who he was as a fighter and a MAJOR shortcoming.
