Boxing has never seen this level of popularity as it did under Michael Gerrard Tyson.


He can fight an exhibition and generate 1.2 million PPV. LMFAO


There are men who destroyed Tyson like Holyfield, Lennox and Buster. Nobody gives a **** ass about any of them.

Was it his second year as a pro he became champion? Some such like that. Just straight to the top, ko'ing everyone.

He's iron Mike the iron man! Transended the sport as the young kid dynamite from the streets to the ring transformation knocking fools out left and right. He had the aura of invincibility and a million dollar smile, minus the gold tooth. Very marketable soft spoken but crazy, exotic animals like Joe Hollywood. He was the definition of the baddest man on the planet! All these reasons are already known.

He went through many phases in his life. Every true fan chronicles it having read about Mike one time or another. The dudes a legend. I've heard someone laugh at the number system he and cus used, but imagine this... A few numbers called out by Rooney and it was indecipherable as he commenced to knock a mfer out in seconds! This... Already known.

[Mr Giggles]

His middle name is gerrard? His first name is Micheal?

No wonder he changed it to mike Tyson

LMAO I literally laughed out loud at this one GOOD JOB brother

[Jacobson]

He was a young handsome 5ft10 negro who knocked out heavyweights twice his size and became heavyweight champion of the world.

In his prime he was the pinnacle of power and masculinity and was unbeatable.

Every black man, hell, every man, wanted that kind of power- to go into any situation and knock anything the hell out!

If his parents married his name would be Mike Kirkpatrick!

Tyson's appeal is massive. True greatness, charisma, 100% real, boy wonder, boy genius, survived so many ups and downs highs and lows, and still STILL managed to become a winner and a positive force in the world. Mike Tyson is the most inspiring and exciting figure in the history of sports.
