If we go by the way sports writers vote in other Hall of fames it makes sense not voting for Tyson into the HOF. Take for example Pete Rose in baseball and Alomar's spitting incident affected him as well. But Tyson got into the HOF so it doesnt matter anymore, his induction is well deserved.
I'm from the UK and I think Colin Hart is a waster of space It was further confirmed to me when he didnt vote for Tyson to go into the boxing hall of fame Tyson was a huge positive influence on the sport, everyone knew who he was and he was so destructive and interesting to watch, he created a real buzz in the 80's and 90's. He brought more new fans to the sport than any other fighter in that era. Colin Hart, when on sky sports voting for the best pound for pound fighters was quoted saying "If you're white you cant fight". What a ridiculous comment He is ridiculous. He was a so called boxing expert who dismissed Khan as being chinny and that he would never win a world title. i dont listen to Colin Hart, the man is a disgrace.
you are simpley the worst, biased poster with no flaT on ESB.. absurd!! greeting from Axel Schulz :hi:
he is a bitter old ***** however he does tend to call it as he see it. For instance Hatton-Castillo "Castillo is shot"
Then Colin Hart is wrong. Tyson deserves his spot...and I'm talking as someone that does not have him in his personal top ten heavyweight ATG list (let's face it, it's splitting hairs anyway with such a tiny list, as if being #10 means you're brillant and #11 an also-ran). In terms of his persona, public recognition and sheer money made alone he would qualify, before you even throw in the tiny matter of all the fights he won and devastating knockouts he inflicted.
tyson is in the boxing hall of fame, and quite deservedly so. so **** what colin hart says...and plus his reasons for not having mike in there were 'due to his exploits outside of the ring' what a shitty excuse......
so he makes one sensible remark and that makes him as a guy that 'calls it how he sees it'? colin hart in an *******
+1 go through the hall of fame and you will find plenty of fighters who were nutcases outside the ring
seriously though... espn were discussing wether tyson should be in the hall of fame This is possibly the worst conversation i have ever heard anyone have about boxing. its MIND BLOWING!
