It has been almost 30 years since an American Heavyweight ruled the division....is that why he is still so hyped to this day even tho his resume is very thin?
I don't think so. The hype that still surrounds Tyson goes way beyond the ups and downs of the heavyweight scene. He was a global superstar who made an impact on popular culture that few fighters ever do. That's why people remember him.
His ferociousness inside the ring, KO highlight reel and the fact he was often in trouble outside of the ring made him such a well known name, that even boxing casuals (or non boxing fans) know him to this day.
