In his prime Mike Tyson would be a hard fighter to "over rate" IMO
He dominated his opponents and terrified them into survival mode before the fights started. MOst talked about fights in a long long time.
He captivated the public and media attention both good and bad.
Most well known boxer world wide second maybe only to ALI.
Youngest HW champ, KO string, huge wins, Massive Douglas upset etc etc.
Too bad he goes out with a legacy as a rapist,punk,bum.PITY.
Everyone wanted to see the man beaten,broken,humiliated.
Mike Tyson really did take on the world.....and the world won
