    Does it? 15-6 here favour Tyson in terms of legacy. Actually, 16-6 if you include me.

    I think most have the outmost respect for how he demolished a solid long time contender like Berbick and also a lineal HW champion, among others. It might be in contrast to those who have that Tyson as unbeatable and TBE that it can seem like he's put down.
