I don`t like Tyson and I think he carried the heavyweight belt like a two bit punk thug. He was a embarrassment to the men who carried that belt before him (outside of a few overrated bully`s like I mentioned in my previous questions), but now we`re talking about the man not the fighter. The fact is he was the youngest heavyweight champion ever. The fact is he unified the heavyweight picture and was the gold standard of his era. The fact is he knocked out Holmes Ali`s conqueror in 4 rounds. He KO`ed Spinks in one round. He beat the c**p out of Golota the man who ruined Bowe. Who`s Bowe? He`s the guy who twice whipped Holyfield. When folks grow up they`ll realize he at worst is a top ten heavyweight champion. Now your entitled to your opinions but which one of you wants to predict Tyson doesn`t make it into the IBHOF?

Tyson dominated the heavyweight division in a way unseen since Rocky Marciano or Joe Louis, and he was the most feared combatant to have ever lived. Not even Liston made people quiver the way they did when they stood before Tyson. People forget that Spinks, Tucker, Thomas and Smith were all exceptional boxers who would have given any champion a hard time and would have beaten a few Hall of Famers. Spinks, in my opinion would easily destroy Norton and undo anything Frazier could try. Tyson disposed of an aging but still game Larry Holmes, and did so as soon as Larry began to fight him rather than run from him.
Tyson doesnt get the respect he deserves, maybe he shouldn't be allowed in because you cannot measure some of the other chumps in there next to him.
