    Well, he should be. It's nice to see them get it while they're alive and well. Well, "well" in as well as he gets.

    Being from Cincinnati, I was always worried that Mike would be "Pete Rose'ed".

    Glad to see him get inducted. He deserves it.

    Not the greatest fighter of all time like James Toback says, but a HoF guy for sure

    mike voted into the hall of fame? what a shocker. not only is he a record holder, not only has he had a very good career, even great to some people, but he's also one of the biggest boxing draws of all time.

    VERY few people could do the PPV numbers he did and I thank him for being the kind of boxer that gave his all through all his fights. I wish him peace and he needs it after all that went through his life. STILL YOUNGEST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, IRON MIKE TYSON!!!!!!
