Opening section

He's described as follows: "Tyson is considered to have been one of the BETTER heavyweight boxers of all time..." As I'm certain there have been more than two boxers in history, this should be changed to "...BEST heavyweight boxers..." - assuming it's sufficiently factual to state this at all (any citation available, for example?).142.162.33.181 (talk) 03:05, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Donovan Ruddock is listed in Tyson's early-round knockout victories but the first was a 7th round (controversial) TKO and their re-match went the distance. Is that fair to Ruddock? 27 April 2011 --86.144.125.58 (talk) 10:10, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

guys

how come there's no section about his relationship with the WWF/E? at least post the themes he used back then, especially the one he used when Vince introduced him before WM14. 66.108.211.43 (talk) 13:21, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dancer

Mike Tyson was in a dance TV show in Argentina in 2011. http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=f618e6e3-a0fc-456d-9d6d-beee2e03b469&isShareURL=true Rauterkus (talk) 14:24, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problem in Early Years

In the article's "early years" section it states that Tyson was introduced to D'Amato after Stewart saw his potential. However, before stating that, it is mentioned that D'Amato became his legal guardian after his mother passed away. Truth be told, i don't know anything about Tyson life other than the fact that he was a boxer but there seems to be something wrong here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.136.139.30 (talk) 20:39, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Kid Dynamite" Nickname

In the statistics section, there is a header that says "nicknames" (the box at the top of the article on the right hand side). This list of nicknames correctly includes "Iron Mike" and "The Baddest Man on the Planet," but it doesn't include "Kid Dynamite," a nickname more famous than "The Baddest Man on the Planet."

You should include it! CaptainNicodemus (talk) 16:16, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of back injury?....Spinal

I wonder is it worth adding this after the Etienne fight? I know its only claimed but its a pretty big claim to make — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.141.196.178 (talk) 16:25, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You would need a reliable source on the claim, for a start. Please sign your comments with four tildes ("~~~~"). Thank you, Bielle (talk) 16:30, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks would the post fight interview be enough? I'll check it again on youtube later 82.141.196.178 (talk) 13:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
