    You realise Manny Pacquiao is the most popular sportsman in the world?

    I think some confuse impact in the US, with impact around the globe.

Just imagine that, people are asking who would have won between Ali and a 21 year old Tyson. Ali didn't even win the title until he was 22. Tyson's age is a big part of what made him amazing. He had the potential to be the greatest HW ever. I don't like his attitude after prison and the things he said. He was out of control at that point. Will there ever be another HW that young and that good again? Probably not in our lifetime.
    Yeah he was a pretty disgusting human being. Everyone wants to believe Tyson is rehabilitated but he's always on a bunch of meds keeping him straight.

      Manny Pacquiao will never be the name that Tyson is.

      Tyson and Ali are the first two names people who don't follow the sport will think of.

        Do you mean.

        Will we ever see an extremely overrated fighter with mental issues again?

        Id say so yes.....

          I'm glad we once agree on something there.

            Hell no.

            Men like Ali and Tyson are made once in a lifetime.

            I want the next great to be Anthony Joshua. I have real high hopes for him.

              I could see him coming out for some sort of charity bout.

                I haven't seen one yet...
                doubt there will ever be one
                I mean with the whole Tyson package
                devastating knock out power
                he would win the fight before the first bell rang
                just with the look in his face that would intimidated
                the opponent and freeze him up...
                I haven't seen a Mike Tyson yet in any weight
                division...
