Which aspect of Tyson's career do you think had the biggest impact on boxing?

[Oliverlogan263]

Tyson redefined heavyweight boxing in the 1980s. His quick knockouts and sheer dominance captivated audiences globally, making him a cultural icon. Beyond his fights, Tyson's influence extended to popularizing pay-per-view events and bringing mainstream attention back to the sport. How do you think Tyson's fighting style compares to that of modern boxers?

Losing to James Douglas Feb.11,1990, because it proved Tyson could be defeated by a tall (Douglas is six-three-and-one-half to Tyson's five-ten) boxer with a good jab and movement, plus one Tyson couldn't intimidate. (Today, June 28,1997 is the 27th anniversary of boxing's "Bite Night" in which Tyson, rather than suffer a second loss to Evander Holyfield, bit Holyfield's ear lobe twice to get DQed. Holyfield, a far better fighter than Douglas, also showed no fear of him.)

All of his fights until after the Spinks fight then he started going downhill with the loss of Buster Douglas, too much Partying in 1990 before that fight

[handsomelad70]

Tyson literally HOED himself out rather than properly train for Douglas.

@handsomelad70 exactly on that one

[DarkLegacy]

Him biting off someones ear. I hated him, he was a thug, or better still an animal.

[handsomelad70]

A fifty-eight-year-old animal attempting a comeback. (Bet you're a Trumpster, boyo!!!)

[DarkLegacy]

@handsomelad70 How am I a trumpster. I do not even live in your awful country

[handsomelad70]

My awful country doesn't have two senile oldsters who can barely get through a sentence without lying (Trump) or stumbling (Biden) .

@handsomelad70 On your profile it says USA.

[handsomelad70]

I'm a Windsor, Ont., CAN. native and lifelong resident. Detroit, Mich. is one mile NORTH of Windsor.

[DarkLegacy]

@handsomelad70 I do not get what you are on about it. If you are in Canada then Detroit is South of you. It is North of Windsor in the USA. Which one are you. Windsor Ontario or Windsor Michigan

[handsomelad70]

There IS no Windsor, Mich., just Windsor, Ont., which (I could be wrong) is the only place in Canada which is SOUTH of the USA.

[DarkLegacy]

@handsomelad70 There is a town called Windsor in Michigan. Google Maps is so helpful, how can you not know your own location. You should be able to tell me

[handsomelad70]

My area code is 519. What's Windsor, Mich.'s?

[DarkLegacy]

@handsomelad70 I do not care enough to look it up.

[handsomelad70]

OK, then we'll have to agree to disagree.
