    He was also nicknamed "Typhoon" Tyson early on by Houston Boxing Association promoters.

    Riddick Bowe said the other kids used to call Tyson "Bummy Mike" at school, because he was dirty, smelly & wore scruffy clothes. Another nickname not mentioned already was "The Tan Terror" which i believe he was called for some of his ametuer career. Then there's "Mighty Mike" for his '90 Tillman to '91 Ruddock II fights.
