Mike Tyson
He has won the WBC, WBA, and IBF Heavyweight titles throughout his career; He was named Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year in 1986 and 1988
Tyson's reign as the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990 was marked by his ability to unify the WBA, WBC, and IBF titles, making him the first heavyweight to hold all three simultaneously. His 1988 victory over Michael Spinks, in which he knocked out Spinks in just 91 seconds, solidified his status as the lineal champion and further cemented his legacy as one of the most dominant fighters of his era. However, Tyson's career took a dramatic turn in 1990 when he was knocked out by underdog Buster Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, a loss that shocked the world and ended his reign as champion.
In 1992, Tyson's life took another significant turn when he was convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in prison. He was released on parole after serving three years and made a highly publicized return to the ring in 1995. Tyson's comeback saw him regain the WBA and WBC titles in 1996, joining an elite group of fighters who had reclaimed the heavyweight championship after losing it. However, his career was marred by controversy, most notably in his 1997 rematch with Evander Holyfield, where Tyson was disqualified for biting Holyfield's ears, an incident that remains one of the most infamous moments in boxing history.
Despite the controversies, Tyson's legacy as a boxer remains undeniable. Known for his ferocious style, Tyson's knockout-to-win percentage of 88% ranks him among the greatest punchers in the sport's history. He has been inducted into both the International Boxing Hall of Fame and the World Boxing Hall of Fame, and his influence on the sport continues to be felt. Tyson's career, both inside and outside the ring, has made him a complex and enduring figure in the world of boxing, and his impact on the sport is still discussed by fans and analysts alike.
