And a little stiff in the morning...

And a little raw I imagine. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Tyson was simply a thug who was taken advantage of. Is he any better or worse off than if he didn't take up boxing? Shame on those mentors that hold greed over conscience.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Exactly. People don't watch Tyson "fights" to see boxing. They watch to see what bizarre @ss stuff he's going to do this time. [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

Tyson was at the beggining of his twenties, the most explosive and strong heavyweight boxer ever. But Don King and money turned him into a violent joke.

The ONLY reason to watch Tyson now is for the pure spectacle. As someone said earlier, it's like a train wreck. Sad but true.

I totally agree snape, just kind of miss old time when he was great. Remember playing PUNCH OUT on the Nintendo.

His is perhaps the worst rags to riches to rags sports story there is. It wasn't enough that he would have run wild on his own anyway, he was also mismanaged, used, and robbed blind by those who were supposed to be looking out for him. He never stood a chance. [img]graemlins/thumbs_down.gif[/img]
