Mike Tyson shares his favorite knockout of his career
Mike Tyson is arguably the greatest knockout artist that the sport of boxing has ever seen. 'Iron Mike' struck fear into the heart of his opponents long before their eventual battle in the squared circle due to his fiery aura and presence.
Tyson recently spoke to ESPN, where he named his favorite knockout of his career, of which there are plenty.
Tyson named his TKO win over Pinklin Thomas in 1987, when he was just 20 years old, as his favorite knockout. 'Iron Mike' explained why he chose his win over Thomas, saying this:
"Pinklin Thomas, because I hit him with like 15 or 16 punches on the chin to bring him down. He took a totally tremendous amount of punishment. 17 punches, I hit him flush 17 times and he took it all. He didn't get back up, but it took about 17 punches."
