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

[FeFist]

If Mike Tyson continued to win, with his bad attitude, people would have a low opinion on him. People want to see the arrogant humbled before they change their tune.

I think Muhammed Ali and Tyson are the biggest icons of American boxing, everyone outside boxing circles, even those who have never watched a single round of boxing know them.

No one Knows/cares about Louis, SRR, SRL,DLH, ..... etc.

You are absolutely right. I live in Europe and everybody knows about Ali and Tyson there. But nobody cares about Floyd, de la Hoya...

Because Tyson is a cool ass dude.
Because Tyson is a real ass dude.
Because Tyson didnt **** that girl..
Because Tyson owned a tiger.
Because Tyson was a bad ass dude.
Because Tyson was exciting to watch.
Because Tyson fights were not boring and didnt make you sleepy.

Floyds just a bltch.
Floyds a coward.
Floyds a puszy.
Floyd threatened his own kids.
Floyd beats women and condones it.
Floyds a racist.
Floyd is boring to watch.

Boring or not floyd is a way better boxer then him.


That should be what counts

Mike Tyson is top 5 greatest resume (HW) of all time.

And right up near the top of H2H lists also, no lower than 10 imo and potential GOAT material.

LOOK at him!

All this talk about not fighting great opponents is all hogwash.

Mike Tyson, along with LEnnox and Holyfield and Foreman deserve the utmost respect when they speak of boxing because they mostly have reasoned opinion, free of much bias.

Tyson has really become a great guy later in life and is a magnetic personality.

Respect!
