    Tyson is a ****ing GLOBAL ICON:deal

    I've been in the middle of a desert in the Middle East & along comes a crowd of camel jockey's who stop & look at me & i look at them, they can't speak inglish & me no arabic, but the mean looking **** with Kalashnikov broke out in a massive smile when he saw my Tyson t-shirt.

    AHHHHHHHHHHH TIEEEEEEEEEEEEESURNNNNNNER.

    Same in the northern hills in Thialand......he's GLOBAL:deal

    Who & what the **** is mayweather??????????? & who cares:smoke

    TYSON is one of History's Icon's & everything of the 80's excess & we all wished we were Iron Mike Tyson "The Baddest Man on the Planet":lol:

    c'mon man... Tyson transcended the sport during a time when it was down (the 80's) in the heavyweight division... Kid Dynamite captured the imagination of people all over the world with his raw power and abilities...

    in the future, Floyd "could" do the same...but maybe in a different way... through good promotion and stricter drug testing... and who knows, maybe even one day trying to rid boxing of all the different organizations and just have ONE champ per weight class....

    Other than that... can't even compare the two in that area... :good

    Tyson was known by pretty much every person in the world with a telly. Floyd is not known now like how Tyson was known.
    Tho boxing was more popular back in late 80s early 90s.

    Tyson! His "brand" by far outweighed anything Floyd, DLH or PAC has been able to manage state side.

    i bet if you put the same poll up but replace "mayweather" with "pacquiao"... pacquiao would be winning in the poll right now with all the *******s out there with no ounce of common sense... :rofl :patsch

    Floyd has not made much of an impact. He is like other guys who fight and are good.
