does he? look at all he did for the sport? sure he bit a guy but he brought so much attention to the sport, so much hype. He should be in there

Someone always brings up this topic once a month. Mike Tyson will be in the boxing HOF, guaranteed. Like him or not, he has earned that. Debating it is pointless.

Yes. Maybe even for the fact that he was the youngest ever to become HW champion. A feat that will likely never be achieved again...

He is a sure fire HOFer..

for the spinks and holmes wins. plus being the youngest HW of all time...i'd say yes.

I consider the holmes win to be good even though holmes was old...

for his interviews alone he belongs in the hall

**The Gully Gad** · 10-24-2008, 03:12 PM

Without a fecking doubt he is...
How rude to even question it...

I know spinks was blown up lightheavy, but still 93 seconds is impressive.

Interesting- never beat any of the greats he got in the ring with. Did unite all the titles but if Naz Hammed can't get in for that why should Tyson? Out of ring circus means nothing in this context btw, neither does infamy.

The best heavyweight in the world at his peak, youngest ever heavyweight champ, unified all the belts at a time when they seemed fractured beyond repair, beat better competition than he's given credit for, and at the very worst he's a top 20 heavy of all time. It's beyond debate that he'll be in there.
