When a boxer steps into those loose ropes and that 20×20 or 24×24 canvas, the objective of that boxer is to end his opponent in a way that everyone remembers the footage forever. U can say that you remember the footage of wins of the legendary “Iron” Mike Tyson. The Brownsville, NY native has given us the glory years of boxing which were post-Muhammad Ali years i.e. 1980s–1990s. Legendary fights like Trevor Berbick, James Smith, Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Buster Douglas, Evander Holyfield, Francois Botha, Lennox Lewis are still on our minds.
The boxing fans always ran wild whenever Michael Buffer introduced him to the main event. Fans screamed “Iron”, chanted Mike every time whenever they saw him. Everyone betted and rooted for him because in the ring he was so dangerous that everyone assumed a one-punch knockout.
Not to mention he is the main reason for the increasing popularity of WWF in the attitude era during Monday Night Wars. He was the machine behind the rise of Steve Austin.
