Love him or hate him...….Mike is an interesting guy.

I appreciate his sense of humor and how he reeled himself back at times. I'm sure there are many times his life could have ended badly.

He's had a relationship with pigeons his entire life and it's claimed his fighting career actually started over someone killing one of his birds. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.....but Mike's truth writes like a fiction book anyhow.

Goat

Cassius clay might tell you differnt.

The Brown Bomber was not too shabby!
Shout out for the “D”!!

No such person.

Tyson car story: 1988 or so Iron Mike banged up his Bentley Conv in Manhattan. 2 Officers showed up to the scene and Mike said' This car is nothing but bad luck, you guys keep it..." and they did, for a while, until the Sarg made them give it back. Only Iron Mike...

If Cus D'mato hadn't died so early in his career he could have been the best ever. Once Jim Jacobs died in 1988 he didn't have a chance, everyone after Jim was a yes man looking for a big payday so they just sat back and told him how great he was and eventually he started believing it himself and it was game over.

Tyson was definitely the most feared fighter in his prime. As for the GOAT and both in their prime, Clay wins.

I hate to say it, but Mike would bomb on Ali. If Ali somehow made it into the 6 round, and Mike blew himself out, maybe a different story. Mike had a very high energy fighting style that took a Z06 gas tank. That tank sprung a leak soon after Gus.
Ali was the best, 100%. No greater fighter, trash talker, person, athlete, personality, intelligence, and wit.

Update: It's on.

Iron Mike Tyson against the shark.
