Tyson second best ever?  That's a joke.  All the boy was known for was his KO punch.  If you could sustain a beating for a few rounds then it's all over for him.  The boy is good but he could have been a lot better if he worked on his stamina.  As it stands, he's lucky to be named even amongst the top 5.

He was the youngest world champion. That's gotta amount to some greatness.

Mike Tyson Undergo's Knee Surgery, Williams

TYSON TO UNDERGO SURGERY TODAY TO REPAIR TORN KNEE CARTILAGE

PHOENIX, AZ (August 2, 2004) - MIKE TYSON will undergo arthroscopic surgery today to repair the complex lateral meniscus tear he suffered in the first round of his fight against Danny Williams last Friday night in Louisville, KY.

Dr. Richard Emerson, Team Physician Emeritus for the Phoenix Suns, who diagnosed Tyson's injury over the weekend after evaluating the MRI and examining the knee, will perform the surgery in Phoenix.

"Under normal circumstances the pain and locking that occurs with this injury would make it impossible for the athlete to continue and he would have to be taken out of the game or the boxing match on a stretcher or with assistance," said Dr. Emerson. "I'm shocked that Mike was able to box for three more rounds after the injury occurred and that he was able to walk away from the ring."

"It explains a lot," said Shelly Finkel, Tyson's adviser. "Once he lost the ability to pivot, turn, or move laterally, much less put pressure on his left leg, he lost the ability to throw anymore meaningful right hands which had been so effective up to the point of the injury."
