    Remebering Tyson

    And not forgetting that for many of us he brought us into the sport.

      I think Tyson is probably the number one boxer for converting people to the sport. He got me and most of my boxing friends into the game.

      A unique character.

        .

        From a historical standpoint I guess you would have to say Dempsey is.


        Ali is up there too, but due to the population explosion that came afterward Tyson beats him.

            For the current generation tyson brought more people to the sport than any other. But i rekon Ali brought more people to the sport than Tyson.

            Still amazing fighter and probably the most entertaining fighter ever!

                Tyson definitely attracted a lot of casual fans to the sport, but whether they hung around after his deterioration is difficult to say.

                Obviously some of you did.

                    Unfortunately Tyson is not likely to be remembered for anything he did in the ring but rather by the demented fan-bois who persistantly tug on his nut-sack to this day.
