    I agree his skills had slipped. But the general public was so enamored with him he could have fought kindergarten class on his knees with one hand tied behind his back and he would have still done 1 million PPV's. His popularity and noteriety blow away that of both Floyd and Pac. Tyson was must see tv to people who never even watched boxing before.

      As Tyson even said, people would have paid to watch him **********.

        I almost used the old "I could sell out Madison square garden masturbating" line, but decided against it.

            Even though odlh/floyd did massive numbers, it was a huge letdown in boxing. It was probably the biggest hypejob in history, but every round we were waiting for someone to turn it up. Instead, we saw floyd play it to the judges. I bet that fight turned alot of people off boxing. Its slowly making its way back

              During the 1980s, people, even those who don't really follow boxing, talk about him.

                    Typical *****. ****** and ignorant.

                    @Topic.
                    Pac's team gave a very generous offer. If Floyd refuses, he's going to be banished in the face of true boxing fans forever and is going to be labeled a certified ducker.

                      Tyson during his time was relentless.
