    Tyson: more myth than man, or more man than myth?

    It's a tough one imo.

    A lot of people overrate him, and a lot underrate him.

    You have your guys saying prime tyson was invincible, with cus in the corner ain't no man beating him (nonsense imo)

    Then you have guys calling him an overrated midget who could only beat people scared of him (also nonsense imo)

    So how about you?

    What's your views on the man known as iron Mike?

    Mike Tyson was almost unbeatable when in the right mental and physical state. However one or both didn't always show up on the night.His stratergy was perfect for his size and skill set.

    However this was for a short period time, as once people figured it out how to stratergise against him and the fear/myth went you see the man, who while brilliant could be defeated.

      Tyson was blessed with physical abilities, but he lacked the hunger and mental discipline needed to devote himself to the sport and reach his full potential.
