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

[Jc8804]

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?

He beat berbick and holmes and bruno . And beat mcneely who is just as good as berto. And he beat seldon who is just as good as ghost.

I say put mike rt now in vs floyd instead of berto and let them settle it man to man OP.

I agree a bit, he doesn't even seem to like boxing nowadays and is too busy being Dana White's lapdog and sucking off any flavor of the month UFC fighter for a penny to bother with the sport that made him.

To this credit though, Tyson is a boxing historian and has forgotten more about boxing's history than most of us will ever learn.

Cause him and oscar come from that ill fight anyone era. Not this stipulation watered down era

[sargo]

Holding, pushing and running, as a style of fighting, does not get respect.

I don't think Tyson is so wonderful. He did lots of terrible things to people in his life. He was a street thug who robbed people's money and left them lying in the street, out cold. He was a good fighter but a quitter when things got too rough for him. In my opinion he quit against Holyfield, Douglas and Lewis. Yes he was a hell of a puncher and an exciting fighter but not much of a decent person. Mayweather never lost a fight and to me he is a better fighter than Tyson was. Tyson is very critical of Mayweather and I don't know why he gets so much respect. If he is a better man now then good for him and it's about time. I am sorry if what I said offends Tyson fans but it's the truth to the best of my knowledge. Tyson used to brag on knocking people out in the street. Atlas knows him from the time Tyson was a young teenager and he has a very low opinion of him for the same reasons I don't think much of him. If only he treated his fellow man as well as he does pigeons.

Tyson was a cultural icon, a household name, a guy who went from a beast to a humble, soft- spoken guy and people eat that up. That said, he's an alcoholic, doesn't think before he speaks, and is a bit of an idiot. But, he gets a pass because everyone finds him loveable now.

[hectari]

Because he is flawed and not perfect, because he admits to his mistakes, he respects the greats, george foreman changed himself and becamed beloved, americans are willing to forgive if the person is genuine and not arrogant money flaunters and show they have compassion.

When they come out with a "Floyd Mayweather's Punch Out" then you can talk

Impossible.

It'll be more like "Floyd Mayweather's Hug Out".

[Francis M.]

Both are respected and hated during their career.

Tyson was an attraction but the nobody liked the guy in his days. That's part of the reason he was convicted of ****.

Tyson's PR team and Tysons openness in these last couple of years has changed things around....

Floyd was loved early in his career and went out of his way to be a heel WWE style.

I'm guessing/hoping Floyd will soften up with age.

Tyson fought to try and kill you win or lose. Floyd fights to pity pat u to a points decision.
