Would have been fun to have Little Mac fighting Tyson.

I don't think anyone expects or even wants Mike Tyson to be in these games anymore.

Are you kidding? One of boxing's controversial fighters of our generation? C'mon, it would've been so funny if they included him. Hell, I'm willing to bet they'll be tons templates for its Create-a-boxer on the web when the game comes out.

As far as Foreman, De La Hoya, etc (They're missing Lennox Lewis, and he basically schooled Holyfield), I remember reading an interview at Gamespot, where EA said "While we have the utmost respect for [these fighters], we wanted to keep a more recent roster and include some up-and-coming boxers." That's what they said more or less, so don't shoot the paraphraser.
