    This is killing me.Their was a much hyped heavyweight in the 90's who had some skill and promise.Made the airwaves to start career and then was sent to prison.I think for kidnapping and rape Cannot think of name

    Tyson would've gone down as possibly the greatest of all time if Cus D'Amato hadn't have died when he did in my opinion. I know Mike became world champ shortly after he died but he would've kept him on the straight and narrowand he would've gone on to be THE best - not just as 'one of' the greatest.
