I just started watching TYSON.

i was amazed at him back in the day. iron mike. scared professional boxers, like for real. knocked people out with punches so devastating you could imagine people dying if they continued to land.

then he lost to douglas in japan (i didn't know any of the background cus stuff, just the loss)

then he raped a woman, then he went to prison, then he got out and tried to be a fighter again, but without training, and got a goofy tattoo.

then he lampooned himself in the Hangover movies.

I dunno. i think even if he had his original management team survive him, his real personality would still have come out. and we're the same age, roughly, which is weird for me.

He didn't rape that bitch.

Tyson was a completely uneducated man of below-average intelligence swimming with absolute sharks.

[MatthewT]

his defense attorney said he did

worst defense ever: "well, she knew he was mike tyson when she went to his hotel room, she shoulda known she'd get raped"

i think the dude was a tax attorney

and we're the same age, roughly, which is weird for me.

Are you considering calling him out?

[Stew Nod]

I often agree with you (about Tyson). I hated him back in the day. I'm starting to view him now as a poor dumb kid who started out with an amazing mentor who turned his life around, but who eventually fell to the wolves.

fucker never had a chance, he was doing strong arm robberies when he was 13...Brownsville in the 70s and early 80s, for an unsupervised kid, was something most of us cannot even imagine
