    His legacy is being the most feared HW in a long time and being one of the hardest hitters ever.

    That's better than being a known ducker who is scared of former flyweight champions.

    Dude give it up they wont get it.

    Someone just posted on how we should start talking strictly boxing with regards to Floyd. I said hes not boxing and instead hes in all of these TMZ type news. Then they come back with "youre not a fan of boxing":lol:

    chill out **** boy, if you read my posts then you know why I voted that way. Legacy isn't defined good enough in the poll and based off of resume and career, Floyd ranks higher, but Tyson is the most popular boxer I know other than Ali

    I would agree, Floyd is greater in terms of accomplishments but Tyson will always be far more remembered than Floyd by many miles.



    Tysons name is his legacy.

    Depends how you're defining "legacy". Tyson is and was more famous, but Floyd ranks higher.

    there is a very big difference between them:
    1. tyson was a great and true fighter, he fought everyone wanted him to fight.
    2. floyd is a business boxer, he fought boxers that could save his '0' status and left boxing when he had got lots of money for vacation. he was also skillful in beating gate guard that SENT HIM TO THE JAIL :sad2

    Mate you got it spot on here, i agree with everything you have said above, Tyson is legend and was an animal, Floyd is a ***** outside of the ring but he has outstanding boxing skills!

    now stop acting like a **** and answer the question seriously. Floyd won his title at 21, but I know that isn't better than what Tyson did, but Floyd's 6 titles in 5 weight classes make up for that. Tyson is the fighter that got me into boxing, but his resume isn't as good as Floyd's sorry man. You can say Floyd is a crybaby woman beaters, but couldn't I say worst about Tyson?

    please shut up. Don't compare the two when it comes to personal issues because Mike takes the cake in that
