I don't like "Iron" Mike Tyson for the simple reason he was a dirty fighter in te squared ring, and an animal out of it.

Very correctly stated!!
This was by far one of my generation's most SATISFYING boxing events ever. I will never forget the good feeling I had after watching Tyson being "exposed" for the first time. I think against Buster Douglas he was just bored and fought with no spirit, but in this fight Tyson was no different than his old self even going back to the late 80s, except that he was no longer fighting bums like "Bonecrusher Smith"
He was facing a real champion and he completely buckled under pressure as he continued to do for the rest of his career.
I never forget the way sportwriters treated Tyson in the 80s, like a royalty. I for one, never regarded him as a great champion because almost everyone of his major victories were against "Bum of the month club" fighters!!!!
What did you think of Tyson vs. Holyfield 1?
