    Jeez, glad nobody talked trash to Mike like that while he was on stage yesterday being inducted into the IBHOF, who knows what might have gone down. He might have had to **** somebody in the ass in front of everybody until they loved him, wow...

      I think he's just mad because Mike's movie career is doing a lot better than his.
      Did he having anything to say about Tszyu or he didn't know who that was?

        Mike is definitely a HOF fighter. He brought clarity and excitement back to the heavyweight division, his impact was huge. He was completely dominant for 4 years and had most fights won before the first bell had rang and would have probably reigned a lot longer had he not pushed the self destruct button.

        As boxers go, Mike really was the ultimate contradiction. He was the complete wrecking machine and seemingly invincible, but away from the ring he was totally unequipped to deal with everyday life.

          How much focus do you put on the negative side of Tysons career?

          Pre-prison yes. Post-prison- no.

          Im split on this issue. Theres no question in my mind Tyson was a piece of **** after prison. He disrespected the sport as much as he promoted it when he was younger.

            Youngest HW champ = easy HOF material

            Tyson is way overrated and I don't put him in the top 10 ATG HW list, but for sure HOF material considering his short reign at such a young age.

                I was really disappointed to hear such harsh remarks from a man who seems to pretty much know alot about a variety of sports, he went on to say that Stallone was deservidly in the hall.
                What are you thoughts on this?
                Whoever said that is a complete jerk off, Especially since he said Stallone should be in.

                      I can understand an arguement against Tyson getting in. Nothing was more disgraceful than biting Holyfield's ear off in a world heavyweight title bout. A bad spot in the history of boxing. Add to that the **** of Williams, another negative moment where a sports star cast a bad image on boxing. Tyson had many many additional wrong doings and selfish acts but those two could be enough.
