    Oscar isn't the only fighter who has ran when he felt he was ahead enough.

    And how do you figure he quit against Hopkins? you ever been hit in the liver? And do you not realize how much bigger and stronger Bernard is than him?

    it's amazing how easy it is to spot the people who are armchair boxing fans only....

    and how hypocrytical it is to pass judgment on someone who actually tests themself in real life.

    please leave petty bull**** out of it.

    Actually it's Oscar. Tyson is much more RECOGNIZABLE but I don't think he is more POPULAR than the golden ***.

    Yeah, I could see just how much Oscar 'tested' himself when he fought Hopkins and Trinidad, showed him up as the ***** that he is. It's to the eternal shame of bull**** match-making that this homo has 2 wins over Chavez, who was a REAL fighter.

    tyson is both more recognisable and profitable for advertising companys, even here in Aus I don't think there is a single person who doesn't know who Iron mike tyson is, there would be plenty who dont know who oscar de la hoya is

    Tyson clearly, who currently stands at 3 in PPV sales, just behind Holyfield and Oscar, though it took Holyfield more fights to do it and his two biggest fights were infact against Mike Tyson.

    Tyson is a legend, he, like Ali, will remembered for many years to come. He had the type of talent nonone has ever seen at the Heavyweight level, and in our current state, will ever see again. Tyson attracted more people to there tv screens than any other boxer IMO, and hype surrounding him was unreal.
