He does have some good points on Tyson though. He is the only man to be called the baddest man on the planet and he did lose 3 years of his prime to prison. If Floyd went to prison now for 3 years and came back then he wouldnt be nearly as good when he came backComment

Tyson doesn't crack my top 10 HW's of all time... let alone p4p. I can understand if people have him in their TOp 10 for HW but the man didn't do nearly enough for p4p status. He has no great wins on his resume which alone is enough to keep him off of the list in my eyes.
I'll go with Bert Sugar (if I remember correctly), who has Tyson as the 100th Greatest Fighter of All Time.Comment

Tyson wasn't a fighter, he was more of a promoter. When it came to putting asses in seats nobody was better than Mike. However his in-ring ability was pretty lackluster, hell just look at his record and you'll be hard-pressed to find any decent competition on it. The only noteable guys he beat were already fighting arthritis!
He's probably the single most destructive person for the sport of boxing. He was horrible in and out of the ring, the only reasons people will remember him are the following.
A.)Most of his fans were casual boxing fans who never watched much if at all before(or after) Tyson.
and B.)His explosive personality which lead to problems both in and out of the ring.
I wouldn't even place him on the top 10 heavyweights of all time, let alone pound-for-pound.Comment
