And at last, Iron Mike Tyson himself. One of the greatest athletes of our generation, and one of the greatest sports icons of all time, Tyson truly deserved the title of the world's baddest. His fight is just as legendary as the man himself: a relentless barrage where every attack can be a finishing blow. Only by dragging it out can you win, a loss that would be predicted by this game. He's one of the hardest boss fights on the NES, and while there's much mechanically harder fights in the years since, Iron Mike is the capstone of the puzzle fighter game that is Punch-Out.
Also yes, this series has Donkey Kong in it. Give that episode a watch for context.
