The answer is simple.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mike Tyson had a greater impact on popular culture.<\/p>\n
In fact Tyson\u2019s impact on mainstream media is probably second only to Muhammad Ali.<\/p>\n
So how did he capture the public imagination?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Firstly his aura of invincibility was palpable. The media portrayed him as an uns toppable juggernaut \u2013 the \u2018baddest man on the planet\u2019.<\/p>\n
Mike Tyson WTKO1 Marvis Frazier (1986)<\/p>\n
Secondly he didn\u2019t just win, he destroyed opponents. Tyson\u2019s highlight reel is awesome, in particular devastating KO\u2019s of Marvis Frazier, Berbick, Thomas, Biggs, Holmes, Spinks and Bruno.<\/p>\n
Mike Tyson WTKO5 Frank Bruno (1989)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lastly Tyson was intimidating and scary as hell. After stopping Jesse Ferguson with an uppercut he stated\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI try to catch them on the tip of his nose because I try to punch the bone into the brain.\u201d<\/p>\n
After brutalising Olympic gold medal winner Tyrell Biggs over seven rounds in 1987 he said\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI was hitting him with body punches and I hurt him. Actually he was crying in there making woman gestures like uh uh\u201d<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t Ali entertaining crowds with wit and humour \u2013 this was a bad man punching with very bad intentions.<\/p>\n
Would you be afraid to meet the guy below in a dark alley? I know I would.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/p>\n
Tyson was one of the most famous men on earth in the late 80s. He transcended sports to become a pop culture phenomenon.<\/p>\n
Evander Holyfield was a wonderful fighter and a famous guy but he never captured the public imagination like \u2018Iron\u2019 Mike Tyson.<\/p>\n
Very few fighters ever have.<\/p>\n
The answer is simple. Mike Tyson had a greater impact on popular culture. In fact Tyson\u2019s impact on mainstream media is probably second only to Muhammad Ali…. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4874,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4870"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4870"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4875,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4870\/revisions\/4875"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sbiz.thongtinluat.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
