Michael Jackson

Simple answer... MJ.

Other than biting an ear and tattooing his face, what did Mike Tyson do?

[Oliverlogan263]

Mike Tyson for his menacing aura, his lightning quick reflexes, how he burst on the scene with never before seen 1 round knockouts. His knockouts were all highlight reel. It was almost comical how his opponents went down. He was anointed the best ever. He eventually started losing, and made a lot of bad decisions. I think people believe had he stayed with his original trainers that he never would have lost.

When he was as the height of his powers, Tyson was destroying his opponents in the ring. While many of those opponents were not all that impressive, the way Tyson won was very impressive, and that is what many boxing fans remember today.

One was a meathead loud mouth boxer, while the other was a mainstream puppet whose talent decreased dramatically year after year.
