    I've just been watching an interview on Sky Sports News, between Mike Tyson & Johnny Nelson. Coming towards the end of the interview Nelson asked Mike What he would say to people who thought he did not deserve his place in the boxing hall of fame, to which mike replied with a great quote: 'I say forget about it, forget Allah, God or Jesus. Muhammad Ali, Rocky Graziano, Jake Lamotta, these are my gods, and they know my name.'

    What was that quote he made comparing football, basketball and other ball sports to boxing. I forgot that one.

    What did Nelson mean when he thanked Tyson for saving his life.

    It was a great great interview.

    Great interview topped off by a quote like that that will stay with me forever. It's a classic.

    He was at 20, but as we know he's said and done a few objectionable things since then.

    Still in my opinion it shouldn't be in doubt but there have been a few that were questioning it recently.
