In the Grading The Stars series, we’ll feature the stars of the past, present and future and grade them based on their prestige, performance and promise. Plus, we’ll highlight three cool cards of a star to collect under a certain dollar figure.
There are five grading levels of the stars: 10 = Icon (Blue Diamond), 9.5 = Legend (Platinum), 9 = Superstar (Gold), 8.5 = Star (Silver) and 8 = Rising Star (Bronze).
Today, we’ll feature a man who was one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all-time, despite his controversial actions in-and-out of the ring. He became a pop culture sensation appearing in various movies and TV shows, most notably his performance in the comedy hit, The Hangover… the one and only, Mike Tyson.
Iron Mike: Mike Tyson was “The Baddest Man on the Planet” in the ring during the 80’s and early 90’s, and was once the undisputed heavyweight champion, as well as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world titles. “Iron Mike” was and is a boxing icon!
Pop Culture Sensation: Although Tyson faced troubling and controversial times in life, he managed to overcome them. He became a pop culture sensation, as he’s appeared in movies and TV shows, as well as other sports entities like the WWE (Tyson is in the WWE Hall of Fame) and AEW.
Future Outlook: Still controversial and in the news, the 56-year-old Tyson remains a fan and collector favorite. From his legendary Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!! video game, signed memorabilia and trading cards, there’s a lot of boom potential with “Kid Dynamite.“
