    Who became a boxing fan because of Tyson?

    I did and I still hate Robin Givens for toying with his head.

        As much as I like Tyson.. Tyson fucked himself over.
        It was his own mental weakness.

          no she didnt, tyson was abusive and horrible to her, it's his own shortcomings as a man that lead to his downfall, not robin givens

          and no he didnt, ali did, ali is still more famous as tyson, and for better reasons too as ali was a man of integrity and a great fighter while tyson was a moron with no balls or stability

            For every man's downfall there is a woman behind it hahahahaha. Robin Givens toyed with Mike's head, end of discussion.

              I really enjoyed watching Tyson at his prime, he is one of the reasons i started to watch boxing.

              I'm brazilian and trust me, people here doesn't know any of the actual best fighters, BUT EVERYONE KNOWS who Tyson was.
              The last fighter that had the opportunitty of "staring" a boxing match at brazilian TV was "Acelino Freitas" but he changed his style when he changed his trainer and became an idiot at the ring.

                  People here doesn't really care about boxing.
                  Here it's just soccer and nothing more.

                  But everybody saw Tyson's fights.(Maybe because was the last good boxer that appeared at TV here).

                    I didn't become a boxing fan because of Tyson. I wanted to become a boxer because of Tyson.

                    When i was a kid, i was all about Tyson. What kid wasn't captivated by Tyson during the 80s? There hasn't been a KO king since Tyson. If you consider the Klitchkos KO kings. I don't. I think they have knockout power, but they aren't cakin fools the way Tyson did.
