    Your still a detestable fat ****er I see Flatlander!!

    Tyson is the youngest champ ever, 2 time, and with as much talent as any heavyweight ever.
    He's an absolute shoe in HOF 1st ballot.

    Now go diet you fat ****!

    A HOF without Tyson would kind of be like a pizza without the cheese.

    Yes, absolutely no question.

    Grudgingly, yes. Every undisputed heavyweight champ gets into the hall, i mean, braddock is in there.

    Exactly. His, although fairly short, reign of terror put boxing in mainstream big time. I'm fairly certain, being 30 yrs old, that I'm not the only one who really started liking boxing young because of Kid Dynamite.

    Some people argue him the greatest ever (not myself) but that alone shows he's well established in the HOF.

    Tyson is IMO a Top10 or Top12 Heavyweight, so yes he deserves his ticket to the Hall Of Fame.
