    In an excuse competition between a Duran fan and a Tyson fan, who do you favor to win?

    I think the Duran fan would quit.

    No one will erase this fight. Tyson's career is defined by two events: the sensation of the century and the scandal of the century. How many times are you more likely to hear that he bit off a piece of someone's ear than that he beat three Olympic champions?

    Pacquaio & Wilder fanboys should be in the conversation too.

    That shot of Tyson completed dazed and confused, struggling to even find his mouthpiece after Douglas just rocketed his head back like a ****ing pez dispenser has to be one of the greatest in boxing history. It truly represented the end of a peak and the beginning of a personal spiral for Tyson that would find him inside a jail cell in 2 short years for ****.

    The bite somehow erases his accomplishments in the ring. Same with Lennox Lewis never getting up from a knockdown. It's subjective. Look what both guys accomplished in the squared circle during their reigns atop the division.

    Hot tub time machine is quite the invention!!
