Mike Tyson Press Conference

<< < (2/2)

Javier:
I stopped paying attention to Mike Tyson a long time ago

Sikotic™:
RIP Tyson's career

He fell off just like Holyfield. I feel bad for him. He went from being on top of the world and being loved by boxing fans and women everywhere. Now he's broke, washed up, and used up by the boxing game. I hope he can at least get a commentating job or something like Foreman.

411:
so did he lose?

That's a pessimists way of looking at it.

I'm an optimist, so let me give you my point of view.

He went from being Heavyweight Champion of the World, a man with no heart who was convicted on Rape charges and sent to Prison, who beat his wife, and who had no respect for anyone, associated with Don King one of the worst conmen walking the planet... to

A 38 year old man who's physically as great as he ever was, but mentally no longer has the cold ambition to want to kill people.  He said after the fight that he had no love for Boxing, and that he hadn't loved the sport since 1990 when he lost his belt.  He doesn't have the wild insanity anymore he did that drove him to the top, so he just simply couldn't go on, he didn't want to be in there, he doesn't want to fight people.  His life's getting a little better, at least he's shed all the assholes around him, and actually has people that care about him around him (his corner stopped the fight when his man knew that Tyson was just going through the motions... the guy didn't kick Tyson's ass, Tyson just didn't want to fight)... so at least his corner cared about him enough to get him out of there before he got hurt or hurt the other guy.  He's trying by that fight to get out of the debts he incurred when he was still being an asshole, and to take care of his children.

I don't think he fell off.  I think he just grew up.  He won't be a commentator because he doesn't like Boxing, it's just what he does.
