Ward has been hamstrung by mismanagement and his own desire to bring the boxing game to Oakland. That is just not going to happen. He is however, the best at 168 without any question, and could arguably clean out the 175 pound division if his management problems clear up.
Tyson was the youngest Heavyweight Champion and Undisputed Champion. Could he have done more? Possibly, but he achieved the pinnacle of his sport and for good or bad, is still widely recognized and respected in the sport.
i don't consider Tyson a waste of talent...
he has an international superstar, he is one of the most recognizable people on the planet, he "saved" the HW division, he has one of the all time best selling Nintendo games of all times, and he won a 2nd term as HW champ after doing 4 years in prison
tyson,he could have had immortality but wasted what he had
Why has Ward done this anyway? He just seemed to lose interest.
Has to be Tyson for me. Much as I hate to say it. I just wish we got to see a prison free Tyson fight Holyfield without having spent years out of boxing.
tony ayala or ike ibeabuchi could be on that list too.
Andre Ward is currently in the midst of one of the most misguided episodes in a boxers career ever, does it match Tyson's implosion or Laing's buffoonish pre-fight drunken antics?
