for a very brief time, Mike was as good as anyone ever has been.

fighters were scared to death of him.

**Brock Landers** · 09-20-12, 02:16 PM

Met him in Vegas JJ, at the Aladdin..shy guy, BIG hands...shook his hand, couldn't believe the size of his hands for such a little guy

**boatboatboat** · 09-20-12, 02:20 PM

I wonder if his mansion up near cleveland is still in ruins?

**jjgold** · 09-20-12, 02:25 PM

I am watching

Its like it was fake when he sparred or used the bag

It was bionic and astonishing

Brock that must of been great

**RyanLeafOfBets** · 09-20-12, 02:28 PM

Tyson = legit

**zoo youk** · 09-20-12, 02:29 PM

if Tyson never lost Cus is his early years he may have never turned into the train wreck that he is

**mynameismud** · 09-20-12, 02:32 PM

tyson one of the craziest and creepiest pro athletes ever imo.

**No coincidences** · 09-20-12, 02:34 PM

Given his raw talent, underrated intelligence and sub-human upbringing, Tyson has been and always will be one of the more compelling athletes in the history of sports.

I love watching Tyson knockouts on youtube every now and then.......One of the most dominant athletes ever in any sport

**MoneyLineDawg** · 09-20-12, 02:45 PM

I like #5 the best

**jjgold** · 09-20-12, 02:47 PM

I think Robin Givens ruined him also in his prime along with Don King

Way too many distractions that he just could not avoid

I think it was when Don King convinced Tyson to fire Kevin Rooney when things started to go bad for Mike. Rooney was a firm believer in the teachings of Cus.

What was Buster Douglass?? 42-1?

**No coincidences** · 09-20-12, 03:02 PM

I love hearing what Tyson has to say about Don King these days.

Yeah he was about that. Great fight that was not on PPV, but either regular TV/HBO. Still think the ref gave Douglas a long count on that Tyson Knockdown. I Watch the fight every now and then on youtube.

One of my favorite Tyson moments ever was when he was giving a press conference and his love of pigeons was brought up.

A reporter sitting in asked Mike if pigeons were the ni**ers of the bird world.

All the other reporters were shocked at the question, you could even hear a few gasps.

Mike's reaction was priceless and I'll never forget it.

He looked the reporter right in his eyes, looked down, and thoughtfully pondered the question and gave a thoughtful reply.

Media image of him as a mindless brute shattered with a single question and answer.

Some of my favorite Tyson quotes:

“One morning I woke up and found my favorite pigeon, Julius, had died I was devastated and was gonna use his crate as my stickball bat to honor him. I left the crate on my stoop and went in to get something and I returned to see the sanitation man put the crate into the crusher. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand he was out cold, convulsing on the floor like an infantile retard.”

“My power is discombobulatingly devastating I could feel muscle tissues collapse under my force. It’s ludicrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.”

“Who am I? What am I? I don’t even know who I am. I’m just a dumb child. I’m being abused. I’m being robbed by lawyers. I think I have more money than I do. I’m just a dumb pugnacious fool. I’m just a fool who thinks I’m someone. And you tell me I should be responsible?”

“I can sell out Madison Square Garden masturbating.”

“When Jesus comes back, these crazy, greedy, capitalistic men are gonna kill him again.”

“I’m just a dark guy from a den of iniquity. A dark shadowy figure from the bowels of iniquity. I wish I could be Mike who gets an endorsement deal. But you can’t make a lie and a truth go together. This country wasn’t built on moral fiber. This country was built on rape, slavery, murder, degradation and affiliation with crime.”

i consider mike tyson the most interesting athlete ever

i always loved the guy, loved him even more after winning 19-1 on holyfield in the first fight. holyfield cheated both fights, tyson had no right biting his ear off but he was getting butted

**jjgold** · 09-20-12, 08:06 PM

Tyson robbed us of years of great boxing. The Guy could have set records that would have never been broken.

**dice** · 09-20-12, 08:44 PM

Wow! Thanks for sharing the video.

**Brock Landers** · 09-20-12, 08:47 PM

i don't bet boxing often

but some of the easiest money i ever won was when he fought Lennox Lewis in Memphis

**jjgold** · 09-20-12, 08:52 PM

His life was just pure chaos, no supervision or a good team around him

Something happened after he lost to Buster Douglass, it seems he got scared

Were the odds generous in favor of Lewis?

**Sam Odom** · 09-21-12, 09:05 AM

The old white guy died too soon in Mike's career ... Cus knew how to handle him

**jjgold** · 09-21-12, 11:05 AM

Jail ruined him as far as fighting

**jjgold** · 09-21-12, 11:11 AM

**jjgold** · 09-21-12, 11:14 AM

These stories about him are unreal

There will never ever be a bizarre athlete like this

**Sam Odom** · 09-21-12, 11:16 AM

JJ why so enamored over Mike ?

**jjgold** · 09-21-12, 11:19 AM

Sammy always was one of my top favs of all times

Mike Vick another one..use to hate him until he went into jail now his biggest fan
