I mean I don't know much about boxing, but I had always heard that Tyson was a fine worker and his punch is legendary, but once Cus D'Amato died and he fell fully into King he stopped trying to dodge and would just try to out clobber guys.

Lol wut? His use of doubling up to one side to uppercut through the blind angle and his use of a peekaboo guard to close distance is high level boxing.

It is a mission of Taking On Tyson to elevate the status of these animals, and it is a matter of Tyson's psychology to identify with them. "They're so much like people," he says, with feeling. "There's no one who can even match me, and it's the same way I feel about the birds," he boasts, somewhat touchingly. Here Tyson tells the story, not for the first time, of having raised pigeons as a kid back in horrible Brownsville, Brooklyn, and of getting into his first fight at the age of 10 "because the guy ripped the head off my pigeon." A pigeon is a dove, and this show is what it sounds like when doves cry.

One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died. I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand - he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like an infantile retard."

I think Ali is absolutely the most important athlete of the 20th century and solidified the role of athlete as social advocate, but I do not think he influenced the culture of sports as much as Jordan did.

“I’m the best ever. I’m the most brutal, vicious, and most ruthless champion there’s ever been. There’s no one can stop me. Lennox (Lewis) is a conqueror? No. I’m Alexander. He’s no Alexander. I’m the best ever. There’s never been anybody as ruthless. I’m Sonny Liston. I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s no one like me. I’m from their cloth. There’s no one that can match me. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable. And I’m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah.”

You think? I can't see Bron getting swept but I do think GS takes it. I have no real vested interest, just want a fun series. If this 1st quarter is any indication...wowza

Suuuuuuch a good 1st quarter. Makes up for the rest of the garbo playoffs.

That was always my understanding too. Peak Tyson knew how to box and was just a terrifying human being.

I think you can make a pretty good argument for Big George Foreman here.

Also in best ever arguments I like to go with a starting lineup to avoid the positional stuff. Magic at point, Jordan at 2, Lebron at 3. I'd have to think about 4, man there are a few PFs I really like and i don't know which one to pick. I'd personally go with Kareem at center but I could understand people arguing for a few guys there too.
