  2. True, and Factual. :deal

    Pac is a joke and a media creation, in my personal opinion Floyd excites me more.

    If you didn't live through the Tyson era and are really getting into boxing now, I could understand people saying Pac is more exciting.

    Tyson was exciting to watch because no one could touch him early on and you knew someone was getting hurt in his fights. There was always some sort of drama in a Tyson fight.

    The view that Tyson fought only cans is pretty much a view based on ignorance. Tyson was the king of a very mediocre HW division. When Tyson was in his prime, guys like Lewis, Bowe and Holyfield were no where near the HW division. Tyson DID fight the best HWs out there, there just wasn't much out there when he was at his best.
     
  4. Yep. Tyson and Floyd were freaks of nature who entertained their fans. Fact.

    But best of all both faced the best opposition willing & available. Fact.

    people who say that honestly never watched tysons era

    everything about tyson was intense

    tyson had an aura about him which no other boxer ever had or ever will have...

    it dosnt matter if many pac has had more wars than him

    when u watched tyson live it was like damn this guys dangerous , volatile .. u never knew what he was going to do next

    he was everything a heavyweaight should be .. and no one no matter how big they get will ever come close to what tyson embodied

    this isnt to bash pac, the fact is there was so much more to tyson in every aspect

    people say professional boxers arnt cowards because they fight.. but the fear you would see in his opponents eyes as soon as he came out to the ring


    Even when he was past prime fighting lewis... everything he did was just bad ass.

    the way they split the ring up with security , amazing

    Hmmm...Nahhh..He isnt even the most exciting SINCE Tyson IMO.

    He's up there for sure, but Morales and Arce have him beat when it comes to excitement IMO.

    Exactly. Look at this ring walk. Theres not even any music, just scary assed Mike Tyson and a weird clanging sound. Go ahead and tell me this isn;t one of the most intense ring walks ever.

    He is only more exciting if you never saw Tyson or are hanging from his nuts.

    Tyson and Roy Jones were much more exciting than Pac. Im even willing to say maybe even Titi Trinidad was is up there.

    Tyson was 5' 10'' and 215 lbs he Ktfo guys that where 6 to 6' 6'' and were like 30 pounds more than him. The way he did it was incredible. Pacquiao is exciting but not near the power of mike.
