"I've got to be goofy about this or I'll get emotional up here," warned Tyson, who struggled to get his words out due to his emotions.
During his speech, Tyson talked about his late trainer Cus D'Amato, who became Tyson's legal guardian when his mother died.
"All this stuff started when I met Cus, and Bobby Stewart (a social worker who introduced Tyson to D'Amato)," said Tyson. "I was in reform school because I was always robbing people.
"All my life I watched these guys. I look at them different," he continued. "Why would I want to be like these guys I always say. I don't know."
Then the emotions started to hit Tyson strongly.
"Oh, man," said Tyson. "I have to take my time with this because there's other guys up here, you know. When I met Cus, we talked a little bit about money, but we wanted to be great fighters.
"Hey guys, I can't even finish this stuff. Thank you. Thank you."
Also inducted into the Hall were Sylvester Stallone, Julio Cesar Chavez, Kostya Tszyu, Ignacio Beristain, and Joe Cortez.
