The Tyson thing doesn't really surprise me. Ali was almost hated in his time, now he as gone on to be the most famous and revered boxer in the history of the world. A loud, outspoken black guy back in Ali's time was something white America just wasn't used to seeing. Tyson isn't going to ever be Ali status, but he is easily the 2nd most famous living boxer and he has really cleaned up his image.

Then again, I do miss the 'I wonder what Tyson is going to do' feeling when he had a press conference, interview, or fight sceduled.
