    Sorry unlike u I don't hero worship fighters. I enjoy boxing and it's history.
    But I also have other things in my life too.
    Now ur the one that made this personal and now nasty yet I understand ur a police officer?
    Not very nice behavior for a man who wears a badge is it??
    This is a forum for people's opinion NOT JUST YOURS. Yea I'm older I'm 50. Probably in better shape than u too. But I'm not the one acting like a child. That would b u so fu#k off

    lol oh ****..my bad you know what i mean..it peaked in the early 00s and has been on this slide since 06 when the era of ringtone rap took over..i didnt say that was the end of the golden age, i meant in terms of popularity..it peaked commercially when rappers were routinely selling 1 million copies from the early00s and ended up where it is today where even huge rappers dont manage to sell 100,000 copies..

    Okay, that make sense, but again I'd say that's another similarity with the rise and fall of Tyson.

    Tyson's commercial peak came after his actual peak (after prison), like hip hop's commercial peak followed its actual 'artistic' peak.
    Tyson-McNeeley sold way more PPVs than Tyson-Spinks for example.

    :good

    he was the next great, that's why.

    larry had moved on by then, remember he won it quite late for a great, the evidence was that he wouldn't be around long -though he proved them wrong by becoming a bona fide atg.
