Sorry, Luis Suarez. You may have bitten not one, not two, but three different opposing players now. But when it comes to biting opponents, there's still no one who does it quite like Mike Tyson. And for proof of that, all you need to do is look at all of the attention that Iron Mike got on Twitter this afternoon.

Tyson had absolutely nothing to do with anything that was going on today. Yet, shortly after Suarez allegedly bit Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder during Uruguay's World Cup match against Italy, the former boxing champion started trending on Twitter with people offering up all kinds of hilarious tweets about him with regards to what Suarez did.

To see what people were saying, check out the best Iron Mike-related tweets that we came across below. Tyson obviously isn't the only athlete who has ever bitten an opponent. But he's clearly the standard when it comes to sinking your teeth into someone.

So what's all this I hear about Mike Tyson playing soccer now? What? Ohhh, ok...nevermind.
