          mike tyson was pretty damn great


          not what he could have been without basically imploding, but a great fighter none the less.

            I totally agree on Cordington i thought he could have really been something, a world champ of sorts at the very very least.... Still like him despite his now apparent flaws though and that Sakio Bika fight is one of my very favourites

            Whats The Don doing these days? Havent heard of him in a minute

              Agreed. You can't win that many title fights and make the kind of money Mike did and be considered an underachiever. It's not a disappointment if you aren't considered the greatest heavyweight ever.

                9 defences of the undisputed title isn't bad at all.

                  I think in Tyson's case some will definitely feel that way though. As great as he was, and i think he was, he didnt quite fulfill his potential but that is a mark of how massive his potential was rather than how little he did....

                    I know he's in the Hall of Fame and did have a tremendous career, but.......I am not sure Edwin Rosario was actually a great fighter or not. He certainly looked like he was going to be, but (to me) fell really short of expectations.

                      I remember seeing Rosario at about 122 as a teenager and thinking he'd be a phenom. He definitely had more upside than he showed.
