Does Mike Tyson deserve to be in the hall of fame?

pete rose is blacklisted from the hof for things done outside of baseball, that should be taken into account for hof criteria

 

:rofl Fanboy

 

Yes. A very silly question.

 

Tyson was so big, even now, people think he could just come back and become champ

 

Without question.

 

Give me 100k, 12 months, yes 12 months of training.

See if he can catch me, and ill hit him atleast once.

Id do the khan dance looking into his eyes.

 

you can't compare ali's and tyson's popularity to oscar's and floyd's. outside of the usa only die hard boxing fans know oscar and floyd. normal sport fans have never heard their names.

 

Are you kidding? Of course he deserved it.

For him not to have gotten in on his first eligible ballot, with Stallone and Gatti in there, would have rendered the Hall a complete sham. Not only did he bring just as much visibility and mainstream attention to boxing as either of them (more, actually) he was a top 15 ATG champion in his division and for some head to head in history rates even higher.

 

I can't get my head around people who ask such stupid questions.

 

He is a journalist now.
He just published an article written by himself in New York Magazine. Some of it is hilarious.

only saying those were the face of boxing at that time,never compared popularity between these fighters.

and yes ali and tyson are way ahead of oscar and floyd in popularity contest,but it's little bit harsh to say only hardcore boxing fan's know floyd mayweather. Floyd is pretty well known around the world nowadays

 

Dumbest argument. I ever heard ! And Rose deserves to be in the HOF !

 

I said he should be in the hof based on boxing achievements atsch would a convicted ****** be considered for a hof spot in any other sport?

 

This poll needed to be public. This has been a waste of a thread.

We need to know who the five anonymous ******s are.

 

He burned out quick, his personal life was questionable to the point of making it easy to hate him as a man, and his career after burning out entirely detracted from his accomplishments when he was on the ball, but still. I can't deny his greatness as a heavyweight boxer.
