    fame aint got **** to do with ur status in the bhof...**** butterbean i think is more famous than any recent heavyweight champ and u dont see him being thrown around in hall of fame conversations... and YES TYSON should be inducted...

    1 he was the youngest hvw champ ever

    2 he beat berbick in that fashion

    3 he beat an undefeated champ in Spinks

    4 became 3 time champion...

    5 his rediculous knockout reels

    people are inducted for less than that...thats only five reasons he should

    Boxers who probably had 1/10th his resume are in the HOF. The question should not be even asked.

    This is one of the boxing questions that should NOT EVEN BE ASKED.

    HE ALREADY WAS BEFORE HE GOT HIS FIRST LOSS.

    Also i think there is an argument for him being a 3 time belt holder

    that WBC situation where he got Lewis to step aside for 3 million then vacated it as soon as he won the WBA is very murky...is it because he signed to fight Holyfield after instead of Lewis ? No one has ever clarified this really
