How did Mike Tyson get his nickname?

I don't know a whole lot about Tyson other than what fans told me about him. I never actually boxed; I was challenged by a Mexican guy to do the training for only one month, he never actually goaded me into getting into any serious fights or anything but, he insisted so that I would learn to apreciate the sport. Even if you do it for only a trivial, insignificant amount of time, when you go to a boxing gym, or rather at least a place that was a "make shift" boxing gym, you run into a lot of hardcore fans and Tyson worshipers. Don't need to watch documentaries; you learn about fighters just from word of mouth. So, to answer your question how did Tyson's boxing career get started? I believe he smacked the crap out of a large 18 year old bully who was giving him a hard time. True enough, Tyson was big when he was a kid, but, the bully in question was huge, I think the story goes that he was 6'4, 240 lbs, aged 18, while Tyson was only 12. That little "scuffle" got Cus D'Mato's attention, and, the moment he spotted Tyson he knew he had the next heavyweight champion of the world. I'm not 100% on this though; you'll have to look up documentaries in the "special interest" section of your video store provided its big enough.

Who would win a fight between George Foreman and Mike Tyson in their prime?

Its hard to say. If he could find a way to never ever get taken down then he would obviously win. But with so many great wrestlers in the UFC now I think he would lose.

It also depends who he fights. i think the only way he could lose is if he fights a guy like randy couture. well i strongly feel that and im 100% sure mike would kill them. any of them they dont stand a chance . i think in his prime no body could have beaten him.
