Never understood that, he's a very good boxer who wants to be the best. Turns out he's not as good as the very best but he's still a damn good boxer, you don't win an Olympic gold and heavyweight titles without having something about you. He's always respectful of his opponents before and after the fight, he's admitted the best man won last night and his reaction is that he wants to try and improve. Seems like a genuinely decent guy yet he gets a lot of hate, I've never understood it.
Pubs are always full for his fights round here, obviously you then have the tyson fans who are entitled to dislike him. I don't mind bith fighters, some people only follow one.
