Of course Tyson should get in. He cleaned out the division and unified the titles. Hes the only man to beat Michael Spinks(and by KO in the 1st round!) and the only person to KO Larry Holmes.

So a win over a LHW and a 38 year old Holmes gets you into the Hall. Not to mention his huge loses to all those bums like Buster in the middle of his prime. He is so overrated its not funny. I loved watching Tyson fight but he doesnt deserve the hall based on his resume.

I think the best argument for Tyson going in is every single THE MAN heavyweight champ is in. Tyson only had two defenses as THE MAN, but he was THE MAN.

But would you put him in? I know he is going to get in but I wouldnt.

You know me sooner. I'd be dragging guys OUT of the Hall by the dozens before I let anybody new in.

In MY boxing HOF Tyson doesn't go in. But as far as Canastota goes he's so much the lock it isn't worth discussing.
