Another thing about Tyson is the mystique never ends, unlike Fedor. You can argue that Holyfield and Lennox Lewis were better but their primes have come and gone. Nobody talks about them any more. Tyson’s prime was even BEFORE theirs yet his name lives on forever. People have been talking about him for 30 years non stop. He’s on par with Ali in terms of immortality. Even surpasses Foreman and Frazer. People imagine how he would do in MMA. Nobody gives a fuck about Lennox Lewis. Tyson is the man.
Yeah its crazy how a guy who's best wins are a LHW Spinks and an almost 40 year old Holmes, gets talked about so much. Just goes to show how important personality is
Also you are crazy if you think he is close to "on par with Ali in terms of immortality". MAYBE in the states. But Ali is the biggest name in sports history world wide
