5. Mike Tyson

Brock Lesnar

One of the all time greatest boxers in the history of the profession, Mike Tyson has so many boxing video games under his belt.

Not just has Tyson got four appearances in the Fight Night franchise to his name, he also has Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Power Punch 2, Devastating Blow, Mike Tyson Boxing and Mike Tyson Heavyweight Boxing for which he was the poster boy - with the youngest ever Heavyweight Champion in the industry making his video game bow way back in 1987.

Far from being restricted just to boxing games, though, Iron Mike has branched out and appeared as a playable character in pro wrestling games and, most recently, UFC 2. Where the wrestling efforts are concerned, Tyson has been selectable in WWE '13 and the utterly underrated Virtual Pro Wrestling 64.

Away from sports games, the Baddest Man on the Planet is also featured in "movie karaoke" effort Yoostar 2, and was a part of mobile exclusives in the form of Family Game: The Quest for Stuff and I Wanna Be the Guy.
