The Rocky films DEFINITELY contributed some popularity to Boxing. To this day you see fighters coming out to the songs from the films all the time and always comparing themselves to ROCKY, the character has become a MEASURING STICK in boxing, like it or not it's the truth. I personally probably wouldn't have inducted Stallone if I decided who gets into the HOF but I don't really mind them putting him in. Tyson on the other hand definitely belongs, whatever happened in his personal life he is still IMO the best Heavyweight of all time.

Yes, Tyson's contribution to boxing by introducing the biting people's ear off if your losing tactic should be proudly recognised.

Also, Tyson is a scumbag, if he were a Baseball player he would have been banned from Cooperstown a LONG time ago.
There are numerous scumbags in Cooperstown, starting (by all history accounts) Ty Cobb.

The only reason Pete Rose isn't in the hall of fame is because he broke a rule in baseball (gambling on the sport, which is listed in the rules in the clubhouses). I have no doubt that if he (Rose) were only convicted of rape, he'd be in as well.

By the way, IMO Tyson may be a scumbag, but Don King made Tyson the man he was after his (Tyson's) father figure and coach died. King by far is a bigger scumbag IMO. Tyson in his prime was unbeatable, period. I've got to give Tyson that.

You're going to lay the blame for Tyson biting off a guys ear and raping a young woman at Kings door? Amazing! Tyson is an adult and is responsible for his own actions.

OFC PP

King - Hey mike, you like zombies

Mike - I'm not sure really what they are Mr King, but I think so Mr King

King - Do you like boobs Mike?

Mike - Yes Mr King I really like boobs...

King - Mike if you pretend to be a zombie you can grab as many boobs as you want and bite people... no one will say anything cause you'll be a scary zombie.

Mike - Oh thank you Mr King, you are so knowledgeable... Are you sure that people will believe

King - why the fuck not, people are stupid as fuck.


...Tra-DA.. biting, raping boxer who cannot speak a language

I disagree, Ali never fought anyone with the combination of speed, power, and defensive skill that Tyson possessed in his prime.

i think Tyson was the closest we have ever seen to a heavyweight killing machine, on his day when he was angry enough he was unstoppable

I don't like Tyson, but he deserves to be in the Boxing Hall of fame. Sly Stalone doesn't, and he couldn't act either.......
