Tyson in his early days beat - nay demolished - every **** that was put in front of him; unified the division; ducked no one. He wasn't exactly born into a golden age of heavyweights, but that's hardly his fault.

Perhaps I'm being unfair on Mayweather, because I don't like the ****. I don't follow boxing much these days, so I'm not really qualified to denigrate his acheivements. Pretty sure he has stage managed his career though. Didn't he wait until Pacquiao was well past his best before taking the fight? And didn't he do the same with De La Hoya?

It would take a lot for me to put him in the same class as Iron Mike, who fought 15 times in his first year as a pro, became the youngest ever heavyweight champ at the age of 20, then set out to hunt down and defeat all the top heavyweights in the world.

The only person capable of defeating the 1980s Mike Tyson was Mike Tyson. The Tyson who got in the ring with James 'Buster' Douglas in 1990 was a shadow of the man who demolished Michael Spinks inside 90 seconds 2 years earlier. By that point his problems outside the ring but often inside his own head had got the better of him.
 
Elvis didny die. He became a traffic cop in Arizona. Then he got shot dead in a road side incident in 1994.
