Iron Mike's aura surviving for so long is one of the most impressive things in sports

[chuckifubuck]

Mike is for sure the most well known living boxer to this day, and 99% of people talk about him like he's Thanos. Prime Mike Tyson is basically a final boss type character in most online discussions by casual/general public fans.

Mike lost to Buster Douglas. Lost to Holyfield twice. Lost to Lennox (way past his prime, granted) and didn't really beat any HUGE names in his era. All of that happened and even back then, even as he was losing, Mike still put fear in people's hearts in a way that no one else has ever done. Its like, no matter what actually happened in the ring, the legend of Mike Tyson is completely unshakeable.

The nikka looked like a pitbull in human form and was coked up/roided out most of the time

 

[Remote]

Well he got robbed by a long count against Douglas and I’ll die on that hill.

But whatever.

Yeah Mike’s …I dunno how you would describe it…the arc of his boxing career and his life is dynamic to say the least.

 

[dh86]

Every loss had excuses attached. Few Tyson fans believe he ever lost a fair fight

 

[Loose]

That c00n is a casuals love, white people love you when you do nothing but entertain them. Win or losses

If Cus D'Amato was 10 years younger, Mike would have beaten Buster easily; Lewis/Holyfield is another story, but at least 4-5 more years of focused boxing. When Cus was around, he had Tyson so mentally locked in that he was winning before he entered the ring... it was just how brutal the fight was going to be.

Watching that fight as an adult buster gave Tyson a vicious combo in the 9th that had Tyson wobbling . then pummeled dude on the ropes

You NEVER saw Tyson get beat up like that in any of his previous 33 matches

 

[RedBull]

Mike lost too many of his big fights. We give him too many excuses because we love him. He was a typical bully, when bullied back he folded. That’s my Brooklyn brother but he robbed us as fans and supporters. He’s more honest about his career than us fans.

 

[Yaboysix]

Mfckas were and Still LEGIT scared of that dude.

Don't even try that nygga, you might be the one he finally snaps on.

 

[Standing on business]

In reality Mike is an overrated super c00n that last a fight every time he faces adversity.

 

[smitty22]

Columbus nikkas fear no man

 

[CHICAGO]

AT ANY MOMENT.

THOSE OTHER nikkaS

MIKE THE TYPE TO
HAVE A FEW BODIES
ON HIS JACKET PRE BOXING

Because it’s bigger than what happened in the ring. Just like Ali (obviously in a different way).
