    Floyd Patterson said Mike needed to stay fighting or wind up in the gutter.

    Floyd have losses, Floyd have Alzheimer's, Floyd find a plot.

    Tyson vs Berbick is the first pro fight I recall seeing, and from then I was hooked.

    For a lot of us born in the 80s, Tyson was the one who got us into boxing. Salute and happy bday to Iron Mike.

    word.

    Same here. I owe my boxing fandom to Iron Mike. I can still hear those magical words from Barry Tompkins when Berbick was stopped after going down three times from the same punch:

    "That's it, that's all, and WE have a new era, in boxing!"

    Tyson definitely was the biggest thing that got me into boxing as a little kid, for sure... I think that's true for most people in my age range

    1st and Foremost, REED's Earliest BIG Fight Boxing Memories Consisted of CLOSED CIRCUIT Viewing...Ali-Frazier III, the "Thrilla in Manila" is THE 1st Fight REED Recollects, but he was Only 4-5 @ the Time...REED's Ol' Man was an AVID Ali Fan & So To was his Son...

    Leonard-Duran I is the 1st BIG Fight REED Recalls, Where he Watched w/a Degree of Self Acquired KNOWLEDGE about the Sport and the Fighters Themselves...

    Well if you're putting it LIKE THAT... The earliest I have any conscious memories of are Boom Boom Mancini and Ray Leonard in the early 80s... But Duran/Barkley is the first fight where I was seeing it live and had some real understanding of the participants and the event

    He can still make a good comeback if he starts bobbing and weaving and if he gets back with his former trainer.

    What did sly Stallone say about it? "Like watching an autopsy on a man who's still alive"
