The Mike Tyson I managed achieved more than just unification at the end of that particular season. He partly unified the titles on more than one occasion, was a multiple time Champ, beat most of the top fighters (the majority by KO) and would have fully unified sooner if it were not for Bowe's reluctance to fight him.BoxBuzz wrote:kevo wrote:Despite a strong end to the season, it's a no from me.
Did Mike Tyson win the year he managed this feat? .....just trying to remember.
He will be remembered no doubt.DetroitHxC wrote:He should be remembered, think about that guys. Only guy to hold every title.
Joe may have won "the fight of the century" here on the sim as in reality....but like life, his overall record may not lend him to be rated #1. I'm going to consider before I vote. I'm neutral leaning to yes at this point.DetroitHxC wrote:The fact that he was dominating Dempsey, and defeated him in there third fight actually stengthens my argument IMO.jBacca wrote:He will be remembered no doubt.DetroitHxC wrote:He should be remembered, think about that guys.

Though, the fact Frazier weren't a true, unified champion in the first place played against him in my decision.
Obviously if Dempsey won, I'd be keeping my mouth shut.
Frazier finished in a legendary fashion, let both of them be enshrined!!!
Dempsey was just getting on top. He has an incredible record of stopping fighters between the 12th and 15th rounds. Frazier had best part of the fight at the start.DetroitHxC wrote:The fact that he was dominating Dempsey, and defeated him in there third fight actually stengthens my argument IMO.jBacca wrote:He will be remembered no doubt.DetroitHxC wrote:He should be remembered, think about that guys.

And it must be noted that Dempsey was coming out of The Super Six - so he fought five top contenders leading into the Frazier fight.jBacca wrote:Dempsey was just getting on top.

It being an Undisputed Champion really enough to make the Hall Of Fame?Fist of Legend wrote:yes, he might as well get in for his accomplishments even though he lost alot of fight

No need for apologies, thanks for getting back to this.jBacca wrote:Apologies, Crease. I voted no.
I think so too, it's hard to get away from the fast that Frazier spent most of his time outside of the top 10 this season. And though being an Undisputed Champion is a great achievement - in the interests of consistency if Frazier is entered into the Hall based on the strength of that achievement, then every future Undipusted Champion should go in 9and we all know that somwhere along the line there's gonna be an average fighter who holds it)jBacca wrote:The end of season win against was a good little achievement for him, but the fight in reality was a bit of a gimmick as Frazier weren't truely unified. The season on a whole I thought Frazier underperformed.
Indeed. And if this were any other season Marciano probably would get in for his record. He's just been outshined by Dempsey and Ali.jBacca wrote:Also, too many fighters into the HOF in one season kinda' plays down the success of getting in.
