    Uhh... Pacquiao is pretty damn close...

    Speed, power, various physical attributes... Very exciting, and with a heck of an impact on the sports world... I doubt Tyson had as many haters, but u take what u get

    As far as the future? I mean, idk... it depends on whether or not the Klitchkos retire... Some guy, maybe not on the same level as Tyson, but entertaining as hell might be able to to get the job done... Don't see anyone right now though

          Mike Tyson the most overrated fighter of all time i dont think we will ever see a fighter with such a bad resume regarded so highly by casual boxing fans due to media hype.

            Pacquiao has achieved so much more than Tyson ever has there boxing achievements are not even comparable and im no Pac fan.

              He may have achieved a ton more than Tyson but his impact still isn't the same. People say he is the most popular sportsman in the world but having resided in vastly different countries, from my experience Pac still isn't as well known as Tyson or Ali. The older generation remember watching Tyson's fights while the younger generation know him as the guy who bites people's ears. None of the younger kids know who Pacquiao is.

                All down to media hype and not achievements i overlook media hype and look at what they have done and who they have beat inside the ring.
