    tyson is one of the best out therre ever... if he hadnt been in trouble most of his career he could of been the greatest... williams got lucky... he knew he was gon go down... but tyson hurt his ankle... but he didnt complain... he took the lost... and even though he aint what he use to be... he can still fill in seats....

      I'd say great. I dont know about top 10 but his importance to boxing is unmatched in regards to making it more popular, contraversial, etc.

          boxers ever to live, he brougth new live
          to the boxing scene,
          he was great yeah, sad thing
          is that if he wasnt that unstable

            its quite true Mike tyson was a great thing boxing. But he did not do jusctice to himself. You cant place him with names like joe louis, marciano, and Ali. If he had kept his head straight he could have shared the same floor as these three greats. His let all the hype get to his head, which a fighter or any public cant afford.

              No matter what you say he will go down as a great fighter and a controversial sports icon. For all of you who try to down grade Tyson to a nobody, your crazy because he made such a big impact boxing its impossible for him not to be a legend.

                I agree....he is a *** up now....but he already accomplished enough and made such a big impact on boxing that he is a legend.

                    Fact. Michael Spinks' manager went into the dressing room during the warm-up to wish Tyson the best of luck, but he only got to open the door and look inside before he left again. He then went back to Spinks' dressing room and said "don't fight that guy".
                    The reason was that when he opened the door, he saw Mike punching holes in the wall with the gloves on. Never had he seen a beast like that, and never before had any fighter given him goosebumps. But Tyson freaked him out...

                      Is Mike Tyson a boxing legend?

                      Is Mike Tyson overrated?

                      Yes on both accounts, without a doubt in my mind.
