At the moment he'll just be a foot note in the history of boxing, he's not really built any kind of legacy whatsoever. Guys like Patterson, Liston, Vitali, Bowe etc all rank higher and have had more memorable reigns.
I forgot what happened yesterday, and I have an excellent memory, I doubt it. And that's even with the mountains of archived footage, its not like anyone remembers the 60's, 70's, 80's and at this point even the 90's all that much, that's how bad people's short term short term memory has gotten. Hell they barely announce when major celebrities 2 decades ago die in the news anymore, that's how disposable our society has become, its ****ing sickening.
Yes, definitely. But possibly as one of the biggest "phony" champions (40-0 records, blah-blah). Alternatively, if he really proves himself — by beating Joshua decisively, for example — he will be remembered as well, but already as a unique boxer with an unorthodox style.
Pretty much this, you truly have to do something legendary things combined with a presence outside your sport/profession. Even that might not be enough.
True, even Showtime called Tyson the last undisputed heavyweight champion, completely forgetting Holyfield, Bowe and Lewis. It's easy as a hardcore fan to forget how casuals perception of the sport is so different to ours. Hardcore fans will remember guys like Jack Sharkey, Schmeling, Baer, Jimmy Corbett, but ask the average sports fan that only watches boxing occasionally and they wouldn't know a single name there. You have to be a Tyson, Ali type figure to remembered by the masses.
The Wilder Wind Power Energy Company will be the largest distributor of turbines and windmills in the world. I'd say, hell yeah, he will be remembered.
Who's Wilder? Is he the person who goes through allies and picks his opponents? He is the one who is afraid of Povetkin, Joshua, Whyte, Miller, Ruiz and anyone else who can fight, no, get rid of that damned cheat!
