    Yeah, and look at all he did to the sport.

    Nevertheless, he was the youngest beltholder in history, so yeah, he belongs there. Still, they need to have a snapshot of him chewing on Holyfield's ear (and spitting out the piece he bit off), and one of him being handcuffed and led off to prison in his display. ***** and all, or not at all, as far as I'm concerned.

      Honestly, as bad as Tyson was, I kind of miss him. Tyson was exciting, there was an electric feel going into all his fights. It was such a spectacle...

          I think he does, but putting him in might stain the IBHOF

                If he's not in the hall of fame that's so disrespectful for the sport of boxing. Mike brought in so many fans and so much money for them, unified the belts and became probably the most popular boxing figure to date. That would be ludicrous not to put him in.
