Stack thats very Cold, and I would know Im from Greenland ;-)
But dont know if Cus was or was not a scumbag!
But it takes a weak heart to judge one another, yes Mike is responsible for his shit, and for the second time, I feel sorry for the Kid Mike Tyson, as an Adult the Damage was already done, and we saw the result of that.

Cus never cared beyong Mike’s capacity to earn money for him. That’s why Mike was continually actingout in school and Cus would bribe them to shut up. Eventually he put Mike in the gym and took him out of high school wholly. Cus was a scum bag.

Mike Tyson is a scum bag. How many excuses do you want to offer for a convicted rapist, thief, and hopeless drug addict? At some point adults are responsible for their own actions.

boohoo poor Mike. The smartest thing he did was stop fighting and his words ’stop shaming the sport’.

Stack
Very cynical, but Correct. But we cant all have the Mental powers provided by good upringings and a healthy enviroment. I dont pity Tysons bad choices and Criminal Behavior, I just pity the little Boy that had to grow up, under circumstances that literally fucked him up mentally. Lack of Love, Lack of guidance and Rolemodels. He messed his life up totally with the help of Don King, and bad “Friends”. I think Life is fucking hard, even if you were lucky to have good parents and not poor. Think of all the Slum kids whoose lives we all look at with pity and sorrow, in NY or Thailand, doesnt matter. My point is Mike is a sad Story, about a human being who wasnt the Smartest, who just didnt have anyone who cared genuineley about him (Exept Cus) and totally fucked up his remaining life. Its sad to see a human with such Incredible skills, throw it all away cause of his fragile mind. His behaviour can be reasoned, not condoned, but understood, Put yourself in his life from when he was a baby and see how you turn out. Not everyone who comes from slum turns out BAD, but it definetley CAN Fuck you up for LIFE. Mikes brain just could cope!

I will agree Mike’s first tier of opponents were not the kings of the HW division. Also, I agree that when Mike went up against top level HWs- Holyfield, Lewis, he folded. I won’t say he is the greatest, which many seem to believe. I will say he is still a step below the likes of Holyfield and a bit below Lewis. Topic is done to death many times- and it seems that Tyson either gets too much credit or none at all. He athleticism was tailor made for Cus D’Amato’s bob and weave style, much more than Floyd Patterson.

Except Marciano has actually fought good opponents.

There’s a long list of boxers that had actually beat more than Mike and unlike Mike’s victims more than a few them were more than warm corpses. If you don’t know it’s time to find out and truly no offense but I am not going to invest time into telling you when 1- you act like you care enough about the topic to know, 2- the topic is already pretty much a complete shambles and 3 – the information is a matter of public record and I don’t want to divert anyone from praising or pitying a convicted rapist and child molester, a drug addict and mentally weak fighter who wants nothing to do with a ring.

olympic gold medal?

Stack-”Yeah it has and often. Mike’s time was very brief and in a time when the entire heavy weight division was horrible.”

Who else has done this? Also, that was not his fault, the same could be said of Marciano.

I’m a Tyson fan.

He was the youngest heavyweight ever and he unified the division. Both admirable achievements.

I don’t think he should come out of retirement, though. And certainly not to fight in K1.

I do feel compassion towards the dude. That doesn’t mean I condone his behavior. He’s made mistakes, he’s seriously damaged other people and himself. But I certainly hope he can find peace.

The Olympics also gave RJJ the excellence award and yet passed him over fro the host country’s vastly inferior house boxer. I don’t pity Tyson who by his own account got high as possible following his first world title. I don’t pity aconvicted rapist and got an early start after molesting Teddy Atlas’ 12-year old niece.

Don’t get me wrong you’re welcome to pity and admire a moral-less but talented has-been all you want but Tyson needs to stay retired and Tyson agrees.

Come on Stack, What about his Olympic Gold Medal, was that carefully fixed too? Yes Mike was Fucked up, and probably still is, but he was a physical Supertalent, with a fragile state of mind! I feel very sorry for him, growing up in the Gutter, with no Love and Caring, only the harsh Bronx! Before his downfall, he could compete with any of those Giants Tong Po mentioned.

Pretty much agree with SE.
Let them put together clowns in the ring apart from serious/professional fighters.
There’s already enough freaks in K-1.

From Tong Po Hobos- maybe, but still not something that has been accomplished much in the HW division

Yeah it has and often. Mike’s time was very brief and in a time when the entire heavy weight division was horrible.
