Why was Mike Tyson so famous and have you ever met him?

Mike Tyson was famous, because he was the youngest champion, first to be undisputed champion in 15 years becuase there were no undisputed champs back then. A lethal puncher, hand speed, power. First round knockouts were his trade marks.

I think Mike Tyson "sucks." Insult to Boxing. Not a Professional in any sense of the word.

Mike Tyson was the best up and coming boxer that his attitude got him where he is today!

His name was made with boxing. He was invinceable for a while. Then he was accused and convicted of raping a woman in a hotel. Served time in prison. Once he was let out he became rather unstable. He tried boxing again but bit part of an ear off another boxer. He isn't very well liked.

I met Frank Webb and many different sought after artists. I met President Clinton and the then, First woman Hillary Rodham Clinton. I met a sought after well being care specialist who pioneered heart transplantation. i have come for the period of a few actors and musicians. I met Carl Sagan and different impressive scientists. I met Anne Rice and a pair different writers. I met a Pittsburgh Steeler a lengthy time period decrease back. i'm a specialist artist and that i bypass in a tremendous circle of human beings.

Because in his prime he was one of the most feared and best boxers ever. Unfortunatley once he lost he just kept losing and went downhill. Never met him and I live in the same city as he does

He was one of the best boxers ever. And he had a funny voice.

He was a boxer.

Believe he went to prison for rape.

Met him briefly long, long time ago mid 80's.

Very weird, super egotistical perv.

He bit off another boxer's ear (Evander Holyfoeld). He pent time in prison for rape and when he got out he continued to make problems for himself.

You should watch a boxing match of his when he was in his prime. It was unbelievable. I saw it once on ESPN classic and couldn't believe what I saw.

Felt the same way when I saw Ali on ESPN Classic.
