    He served his time, and fought without cheating. How can we mix personal life with ring life? If that was the case know one would get in. Beside I don't believe he raped her.

    On the other hand he's so famous that it doesn't matter much if he will be there or not.

    Mike Tyson cemented his place in the hall of fame the second he made a rag doll out of trevor berbick, & became the youngest HW champion in history...


    Now, IF instead of biting evanders ear, lets say mike pulled a .45 out of his trunks & shot him, then i think they'd be a little iffy on putting him in the HOF :D


    The trash talking just spiced things up perfectly, that was Mike, especially post- prison, a loose cannon, raving lunatic & at one time, (pre-prison) a seriously feared individual

    He has to go into the Hall of Fame. Without him the Hall would be a joke.

    YES he should.

    This isn't canonising process, it's boxing hall of fame!

    If you mention Mike Tyson, 90% of the earth would at least have heard of his name
    If you mention Manny Pacquiao, 70% of the earth would ask: "Manny ****ing who?"

    Not only boxing, the impact he had as a sportsman in general, he was talked about all over the world. Tyson made boxing reach one of it's upper limits in the rest of the world, to people who weren't interested at first, but did because it was Tyson the destroyer!!

    What do we have now, who the **** is duckweather? Who the **** is duckuiao? Nobody in the outside world cares, but they did when Tyson was on top!! He was the face of boxing, he was the face of athletes!!

    (I'm not talking about the quality of competition or Tyson as a boxer, only about the impact of Tyson in the world and what he did for boxing)

    Of course.

    Last time I checked it wasn't the Model Citizen Hall of Fame aint it? It is still the Boxing Hall of Fame, so whatever misdeeds he has done in and out the ring, his accomplishments should still merit a slam dunk.

    All who say otherwise are just ****ers :lol: :rofl
