Nah, he's beatable. I beat him loads of times. There was an issue of Nintendo Power that published the 'secret method' .... once that article came out, it was easy.

Beating Mike relies on not getting knocked down in the first 1:30 of the first
round, when he throws his one-hit-knockdown Dynamite Punches. You can dodge
these and counter with two blows to the face. They are telegraphed with a short
blue flash. Afterwards, Mike will begin to throw left and right hooks which are
more easily dodged. He winks before throwing them. At the beginning of the
second and thrid rounds, he will toss some non-telegraphed jabs, so be ready and
keep your guard up. He'll throw Dynamite Punches again, but they're much weaker
this time. The only other move Mike might try is to sit and blink for a while.
This is a good time to punch him in the face and earn a Star, but be ready to
dodge the oncoming barrage of jabs. Otherwise, Mike Tyson can be beaten, but it
takes skill, reflexes, and luck.

EDIT: Oh yeah - you just have to dodge his punches for the first 1:30 and then it is smooth sailing.
