I remember my great uncle before he died (who was a world ranked fighter way back when Sugar Ray Robinson was coming up) talking about Tyson.
He said similar to what others are saying on here. He basically said if "the sport of boxing" doesn't get the best of him, he'll be THE GREATEST. Said he's never seen an animal that was so quick and hit so hard.
Of course "the sport of boxing" turned out to be Don King and Tyson himself and we know how that went.
I used to spend hours talking to him with him telling me how boxing was way back when and how the mafia controlled the sport...... Definitely some interesting stuff.
