Mike Tyson: GREAT whether you like it or not

[DiegoFuego]

I think people will always look at Tyson and wonder what could have been rather than what was. He was great for 2-3 years. I will always think of him as a huge waste of time.

agreed...tyson was a beast

It seems all anyone does in this world is kick someone while there down. All anyone does is focus on the negatives of Mike Tyson's career. Which is normal because there has been alot of negativity. But what about the positive?
-Youngest Heavyweight Champion of all time
-revived Boxing when it was down
-Gave fans great highlights to salavge for years
-Reguardless of outcomes he fought the best heavyweights available. Sure journeymen to,but he fought Holmes, Spinks, Holyfield twice and Lennox Lewis. (also Razor Rud**** wasn't a bad fighter.)
-He brought alot of excitement to Boxing, I think alot of people would agree with me that Mike Tyson fights are usually very exciting to watch.
Had Mike Tyson not have screwed up so much in the last 10+ years he could have been the greatest. The Mike Tyson story is kind of like the movie Scarface as far as the moral goes. To me the theme of Scarface is when you get to much to soon some people do not know ho handle it. Mike Tyson had to much to soon just like Scarface and he lost it all in the end. Mike Tyson should be a lesson to young fighters coming up, saying when you become successful be careful of the people around and the things you do. Reguardless of what happens with the rest of his career whether your a fan or you hate him Mike Tyson's impact on the sport will forever be wrote in the pages of Boxing history. Mike Tyson's legend will eventually reside in Canastota, New York at the Boxing Hall Of Fame. The reason I wrote this thread is because I think people forget sometimes reguardless of his numerous mistakes he is a Boxing legend.

alright all ready.
and it goes on and on.
another rehashed tyson thread.
yes he's great! came up during a weaker hvwt division.
still play lennox/tyson at lunchbreaks.
could have been greater if he had his head screwed on strait.

Greatness for a short period of time> Goodness over the long haul

Tyson was great BECAUSE HE FOUGHT THE BEST OF HIS ERA.

Apply that to Gayweather and I still wonder how his illogical fans can appreciate a coward and a duck.

Ha?

Do you even know what your saying dude?

Tyson was great in his time coz he fought the best.

Now he's old and his time is up.

Dude stop pretending like you know something ok.

Let's apply the same standard to Fake Floyd and it's obvious he's a duck.
