I think we all have a fraction of his boxing talent. I can chew off body parts if I have to. Yep, like so many others, he had it all and gave it away.

Somehow Darwin´s theses seems even more plausible looking at that photo. How can we not be related to the big apes..

Mike has an other side that was never public. I have seen it. The guy is a victim, of course. A gentle man, horribly twisted by the media and yes, even his own publicists(for their own gain). I used to see him driving around Albany in his Mercedes convertible(4 seater, custom red over red/white), driving those little girls to the mall.

Oh, I have a very healthy respect for his boxing skills. I boxed for ten years in my youth. I am actually very sorry he left boxing, he was a rare talent.

I remember the first time I saw him fight. He was a killing machine. He came out and laid waste to his opponent. It was over in round 1.
Not the brightest fork in the drawer.

Professional career spanned 31 years.
76 wins, 5 losses, 68 T/KO's Looked like that when he came out of retirement in 87. No way in hell I'd get in a ring with him unless I had a gun. Anyone? Have had the pleasure of working/spending time with him. A true gentleman.

I was in a hotel room the other night and a fight of his came on ESPN Classic. I think Tyson was like 16-0 at the time, so it was still pretty early on in his career.
I followed boxing for a time and I boxed myself as an amateur for a while. Watching Tyson's fight from back then was just awe-inspiring. So fast and so powerful. The man was a machine. There's something pure about boxing...something wonderful. And Tyson did it all about as well as a human being can do it. It's a shame he made such poor choices in his personal life. I actually do pity him in a way, as I'm sure he was taken advantage of. Not an excuse, but a shame nonetheless.

I always wondered if I'd get in the ring with him for a million $. I could probably stay away from him for half of the first round, and then he'd take a shot or two at me and it be lights out. Question is would I be in a coma or not after that...

Probably the most tragic figure in modern sports. When his first trainer and mentor (in life in addition to the ring) died (I forget his name), the vultures started to circle. Mike was ill-equipped to deal with them. He never saw what they were really after. As ferocious and focused as he was in the ring early in his career, he never matured beyond a big kid. He craved attention and wanted to make everyone around him happy, and the self-serving bastards that moved in on him took full advantage of that. Including his ex-wife and the cheap whore who cried "rape". I could add them to that "special place in hell" thread.
I wish him all the best. He's been "rode like a rented mule" for most of his life. I hope he has found peace and happiness.

Aug. 23, 1988 Tyson breaks a bone in his right hand during an early morning Harlem street brawl with pro boxer Mitch Green. Nine years later, he is ordered by a jury to pay $45,000 US to Green. Sept. 4, 1988 Tyson drives his BMW into a tree and knocked unconscious in what the New York Daily New later reports as a "suicide attempt" caused by a "chemical imbalance." Oct. 2, 1988 Police are summoned to Tyson's Bernardsville, N.J., estate after he hurls furniture out the window. Wife Robin Givens flees with her mother and files for divorce five days later.

Dec. 15, 1988 Lori Davis sues Tyson for allegedly grabbing her buttocks while dancing at the same club on the same night. Apr. 9, 1989 Tyson is accused of striking a parking attendant three times with an open hand outside a Los Angeles nightclub, but charges are dropped. Apr. 26, 1989 Tyson is ticketed in Albany, N.Y., for drag racing. He is also ticketed on May 5, again for drag racing. Aug. 17, 1990 Phyllis Polaner, former aid to Givens, sues Tyson for sexual assault and harassment. Oct. 2, 1991 Tyson is served a $12 million US palimony and paternity by Natalie Fears of Los Angeles, but a court-ordered blood test proves he is not the father. March 1992 Tyson is convicted on one count of rape and two counts of deviate sexual conduct against Miss Black America contestant Desiree Washington on July 18, 1991. He is sentenced to 10 years in prison, four suspended. May 8, 1992 Tyson is found guilty of disorderly conduct and threatening a prison guard, adding 15 days to his sentence. July 13, 1993 Noemi T. McKenzie, of Woburn, Mass., files a civil lawsuit alleging Tyson committed battery against her at a Miss Black America rehearsal on July 18, 1991.

Oct. 29, 1997 Tyson breaks a rib and punctures lung when his motorcycle skids off a Connecticut highway. Mar. 9, 1998 Chevelle Butts and Sherry Cole file a $22 million US lawsuit against Tyson claiming verbal and physical abuse at a Washington bistro on March 1. Dec. 1, 1998 Tyson pleads no contest to misdemeanour assault for kicking Richard Hardick and punching Abmielec Saucedo following an Aug. 31 auto accident in Gaithersburg, Md. He is handed two, two-year concurrent sentences with all but one year suspended. Tyson is also fined $5,000 US and sentenced to two years probation following his release from jail. Mar. 5, 1999 Tyson is ordered to serve an extra 60 days in jail for violating probation terms of his 1992 rape conviction. Aug. 17, 2001 Tyson is accused of raping a 50 year-old woman on July 16 at Big Bear, Calif., but prosecutors file no charges. Jan. 18, 2002 Tyson's second wife, Monica, sues for divorce at Rockville, Md. Tyson countersues in Las Vegas. Jan. 22, 2002 Las Vegas police contend there are grounds for charges following a four-month investigation into allegations that Tyson raped a woman in September 2001. Jan. 30, 2002 Clark County District Attorney's office confirms a second investigation based on a woman's accusation that she was raped by Tyson in November 2001. They would decide the next month not to pursue charges, saying it wasn't clear whether the sexual contact was consensual or forced. August 3, 2003 Tyson files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Owing $38 million to the IRS, Tyson will contribute $14 million to paying it down after a lawsuit settlement the next year with promoter Don King. Feb. 27, 2004 Tyson agrees to a plea deal involving counselling and community services stemming from 2003 charges from a fight with two autograph seekers in a hotel lobby. Jan. 12, 2007 Tyson faces a four-count indictment on drug-related charges stemming from a December incident in Scottsdale, Ariz. He could face up to 7 years in prison. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______________ It's been two years since this site was updated, hence nothing since 2007. Looks like several trumped up charges, but still, how can one guy get in so much trouble without most of it being true. |
