Better Legacy at Heavyweight Wlad or Tyson?

I think theyll have to give it Wlad. Hes not done yet &look what happened to Mike at the end of his sad sad career.

 

"Iron" Mike Tyson

Youngest man to ever win a heavyweight title

Real and True Undisputed Heavyweight Champion that unified all world championship belts

Case Closed..........

 

Shieeeeet, everyone knows Tyson's name. If i were to ask some random person: "Who better, Wland or Tyson?" They be like "Who the **** is Wland?"

 

Who the **** is Clinchko?

They would automatically know he's boring even though they never heard of him.

 

Tyson not even close

 

Tyson had a 'sad career' :rofl:rofl:rofl

When did WALDO ever earn a purse like Tyson earnt against Spinks? Bear in mind that was 23 years ago now, WALDO has never come close to earning that kind of money for a single fight, and there's a reason for that.

To match Tyson, WALDO would have to unify and hold onto the titles for another 3-4 years, which he won't.

 

My mom and sister know Mike Tyson was the baddest mf'er on the planet. Most sports fans haven't watched one Klit fight. This is no contest.

 

Just can't believe that 28% of cretins didn't vote for Tyson on this, it's not even close atsch

 

Myth????? C'mom man I was there, it wasnt a myth. Tyson was the MAN in the heavyweights who carried the division for years.

 

As I said earlier, he took a dying division and breathed life into it.

WALDO and VITLAY took a dying division and choked the living **** out of it. Someone else will come along soon that will make us forget them and treat them like the paper champs that they so obviously are.

 

lol

 

People are seriously confusing the media monster that Tyson was with having a great legacy.

Being hugely popular and famous world wide does NOT mean you have a great legacy.

Tyson could have had the better legacy, but his prime was only a few short years. After those "invincible" years he faded. Wlad has only gotten better over time, and has ALREADY had the division locked up for longer than Tyson did.

Another year or two of dominance and Wlad easily surpasses Tyson in LEGACY. He will never surpass Tyson in fame/recognition.

 

Funny AND true. :good

 

I bet they've also heard of O.J. Simpson but not of Jerry Rice.

 

yeah, coming back after Spinks he won against Bruno and Williams in 1989, but he was a little less sharp but he still won. Then the Buster fight and struggles for years. He was so dominant from 1986-1989 that had he retired I think he would be remembered well. It was magical you are right. He was quite a fighter in his prime. His defense was so precise that any changes in training or mindset affected his concentration it seemed. Seems like we have not had a really magical fighter for many years now. Pacman is good, but there lacks that Tyson feeling anymore.
