    I agree. Easily one of the most compelling people in the entire world.

    I'm pretty sure I'd wanna do a once over on his medicine cabinet. The confessional seems profound but dude just does not handle stress well.

    Tyson is actually a good dude. Roach should have hired him over Moorer. He's a brilliant boxing mind

    I remember hearing that Tyson went to him for a job but Roach said Tyson wouldn't be able to handle being an assistant.

    His appearance in The Hangover may have salvaged that waste.

    Tyson's life really is a sad story. I feel bad for him.

    Strikes me as a psychopath who might not want to be one.

    1. you can't be over 40 and listen to lil wayne.
    2.live with your parents.
    3. have kids and not care for them.

    Given his childhood/upbringing...sometimes it's difficult to bounce back from a terrible life. I guess that stuff just follows you. With that said, he certainly made some dumb decisions. But seeing recent interviews of Tyson, he seems like a good guy, a bit weird or strange...but ok.
    Perhaps a life of solve one problem, get ten more.

    It's sad how his career ended with all those losses and KO's. Something turned him soft... not sure what it was though. Religion? a woman? Children?

    He still is my favorite boxer of all times. ALL TIMES!
    I missed the Ali era by a few decades so I grew up watching Tyson instead. I hope he does something good with his life in his remaining years. Maybe a grill?

    You're right, every word, almost made for film, too slick.
