      That was just my way of reaffirming Floyd's place in history...he's still got the official record.
      yes, it does make sense, but still not his fault: it is not like Mike went after the easiest "Champion", he went after whoever he could get into the ring first

      Floyd's place will always be secure, he went from a ****** thug to one of the most gracious men in sports.

        Of course I agree with you...Mike went after everybody and singlehandedly cleaned out the division. It's not his fault the title was fragmented and Berbick was merely a paper titlist in the great scheme of things and in no way does it detract from the whirlwind Tyson was......but, Floyd's still got the official record. I'm just trying to keep things in persective.

          I agree there will never be another tyson. Just like there won't be another ali or frazier or srl. No fighter will ever be duplicated ever. Even if there styles match a little they won't act the same or have the same fan support.

                I agree there could be a fighter who fights like tyson and has his explosivness but his personality would most likely not match and probaly would not have the same fan support. There could be a fighter like ali but unless he talked the smack too i wuoldnt consider them alike.

                  I doubt there will be another Tyson as far as boxing skills and all. I think only way for there to be another Mayweather or Tyson or SRL would be for one of them to train someone who is near their size and teach them everything they know and all of their skills and tricks. Just like a Mayweather Sr. taught Floyd.

                  I WOULD LIKE TO BE TAUGHT SOME SKILLS lol. Honestly though.

                    to me tyson is a more common route for smaller boxers to go.. now days it will take a bigger guy with tyson skills to compete with modern day inept clowns . toneys doing a good job although he's older and using more brains than tyson ever had.imo.

                      ^^^^i agree he is the easier fighter to duplicate but i think to be like tyson u would have to have the personality and fan support. which no one will ever have his sort of glory.
