    Mike Tyson. He's the reason I even watch boxing now. It's strange how I ended up liking "boxers" over brawlers.

    LOL!!!

    Come on dude.

    Say the name floyd mayweather jr. in another country and no one has a ****ing clue who you are talking about.

    Tyson has been parodied on the simpsons, snl and in living color.

    Floyd can't get parodied in his own family.

    Not a joke when there are people here who actually feel that Floyd has done more for boxing, and has made a bigger impact than Tyson.

    Is this a joke?

    You hate Floyd or something? Why don't you also go ahead and do "Floyd vs. Prime Mike Tyson" threads? :lol:

    Tyson no contest.

    You ask any non boxing fan who Mike Tyson is they would know (without the **** case) you couldn't say the same for Floyd.

    Here. Where are they?

    Even a Floydhugger could not seriously vote against Tyson on this one.

    20 - 0 for Tyson so far. :lol: Probably the most one-sided poll I've ever seen on here.

    Tyson is not to far off from Christ in terms of world wide recognition... and that is not a joke either.

    In the long run the influence of both men was pretty negative.
