The information about "The Cincinnatti Cobra" is found on Yahoo, Google, various fight magazines, but in addition to that info, I "d like to see details about his private live and struggles(ie: reacting how he accididentally killed a man in the ring-how it affected during and after he was heavyweight champion-striving in two heroic attempts to regain the heavyweight title-dealing with his courageous fight against ALS during his last years.

The fact that I've posed this question partially answers that question.
Never in the history of heavyweight boxing has their been a faster, more explosive fighter, with punching power second only to George Foreman's, in my opinion.

For a while it looked like he was a lock as an all time great, but who could have known back in '90, as he readied himself for Buster Douglas, that over the course of the next fifteen years, Tyson would only win another THIRTEEN fights.
And that against guys like Bruce Seldon, Francois Botha, Lou Savarese and Brian Nielsen. That's four of thirteen.

Tyson's much vaunted power really only worked against guys who were beaten before they threw a shot and his true character was revealed when he perpetrated what must be the most savage foul in the history of sport against Holyfield.
It was a cowardly way of quitting, to prevent the coming KO - as evidenced by his histrionics in the ring afterwards and his sob story about getting head butted.

Marvin Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns, April 1985. I watch this fight now and i still get chills! Was that 1st round the greatest round ever fought in boxing history? Can anyone name another round that is even close?

What do you think was the best boxing trilogy out of these fights? Gatti-Ward, Ali-Frazier, Bowe-Holyfield, Barrera-Morrales. All were great fights and it's tough to pick the best. So if you had a couple of hours to spare and could sit down with some buddies and some beer and watch one of these trilogies, which one would it be?

Hint: both guys' first names were Michael.
It wasn't Spinks and Tyson.

My eight year old son would really love to learn how to box. I also think this will be good for him as it will teach him how to controll agression and give him a good base for fitness. I have been told that he is way to young to start boxing and must be at least 14. Is this true?

The first time I saw Roy Jones was when he fought Sugarboy Malinga
Having watched Malinga's career from when he was up and coming in South Africa and actually having sparred several rounds with him, in my opinion he's one of the top defensive fighters of all time
Malinga had up until that time never not gone the distance, and the deal he had in place was go the distance with Jones and get a shot at Nigel Benn

Jones stopped him in 5. I knew was watching an extraordinary talent

The following year he walked through James Toney, then the top pound for pound guy.

And for ten years after that, it seemed as if Jones would have to be judged by a completely different barometer than anyone before him. Until he got stopped by Antonio Tarver and Glen Johnson.
The weight loss after Ruiz did it. He wasn't shot overnight.

The new barometer of Jones' place in history is 'can he rise to adversity?' That has always been the mark of greatness.

He's 37 with rapidly diminishing skills.
