Mike Tyson, whose meteoric rise to the pinnacle of boxing and stunning fall from grace was legendary, was selected Tuesday for induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame and Museum.
Three-division champion Julio Cesar Chavez of Mexico and Russian-born Kostya Tszyu, a junior welterweight champion, also were selected, along with Mexican trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain, referee Joe Cortez, and screenwriter Sylvester Stallone.
Tyson, 44, finished with a 50-6-0-2 record, winning 44 of those fights by knockout. He retired from boxing in 2005.
Tyson still gave the best job description I've ever heard.
Q: Mike, how do you describe what you do?
Mike T: I knock people the f&*k out!
Watch 'Iron' Mike doing his job!
