    Why does Mike Tyson seem to have such great authority and respect but other...

    Greater fighters do not get half the respect he gets?

    Tyson rips floyd every chance he can get and seems seems to talk down the ability of modern fighters yet he wasnt that great himself.

    His only notable wins were against razor ruddock and spinks. He lost every big fight he was in BADLY. HES A CONVICTED RAPIST yet talks with such pride and authority and the boxing community sucks him off wtf.

    We show him more respect then floyd and manny yet those two are fare superior to him in every aspect.


    The ****er lost against danny williams ffs. I honestly dont get it.

    Can someone explain it to me. Hes not great at all. whats the fuss all about?

      Yh but thats why im asking. I personally dont get it.

      If you look at stats and put away the bias Floyd is far better then him.Like on another planet.

      I dont get it. i was born in 1993 so i wasnt there for the hysteria.

        People revere heavyweights more than any other fighter, it's as simple as that. A guy who beats the hell out of the biggest baddest men is going to be more respected and admired than guys who out point or knock out guys who look like a junior in high school.

          Because he was a badass who was genuinely scary, as unfair as it may seem to many of you Mayweather acts and fights like such a girl that people have a hard time respecting him. You can go on and on about his skills(he is very skilled) but come on guy is so non-threatening that people are claiming Ronda Rousey beats him up. Tyson is definitely overrated, but people usually gravitate more towards aggressive hard punching fighters and he was a heavyweight.

              his style of boxing

              undersized but still won at HW

              funny voice/appearance combination

              he was not liked around the **** case or ear bite... he was an oj simpson type character everyone hated... i guess as far as that goes people just see him as a turnaround story who does cartoons now

                  It's more the story of Tyson people are in love with, if you know what I mean. This and the enigma he had in the early days.
