Joe-six-pack who sees 3 fights a year is the bread-and-butter of boxing. If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be seeing half the fights you do.
But now that I know you're one of those old-timer, elitist boxing fans, I couldn't care less what you think of Tyson.
For what it's worth, the entire boxing panel on Sportsnet Live ALL put Tyson in the top 10 of all-time boxing greats; and that included the guy (whose name escapes me at the moment) who is a boxing nut and publishes books on the subject. Even the athlete guest respected Tyson for his athletic ability.
To say Tyson is nothing but a thug is to lie to yourself. You may not have liked the guy or his bizarro actions, but he was THE top-notch boxer of his time.
I wish Ali had been around in 1985 so Tyson could have smashed him out cold in the first round...
