i do feel sorry for him and if he would´ve retired 10 years ago he would´ve been remembered as one of the best heavyweight´s of all time. and i´ve been boxing for 10 years and Mike is one of the reasons why i started boxing coz i used to watch a video series with his best rounds and knock outs when i was little and without seeing those i don´t think i would´ve started to box. now Mike will go down in history as someone who could´ve been the best boxer of all time but fucked up his life and career and that´s a shame.

He will be remembred for how great he was in the late 80's

well AD that´s what i will remember him for but i´m sure that the majority of people will remember him for the scandals and all of that crazy shit he has said and that´s a shame. but i also feel sorry for Mike coz he done had an extremely hard life and if all those people that were around him in the beginning wouldn´t have died i´m sure he wouldn´t have done half of the shit he´s done.

No.  I dont know why still people pay attention to him.  Any true boxing fan should have ingored him and his wannabe fights a long time ago.

Do I feel sorry for him? Not at all.

He's grown and he made his own decisions, as bad as they were.

I do. He went from top of the world to the bottom of the caste system. The guy never did anything to me for me not to feel bad for him.

You guys know he didn't go broke just because Don King jacked him and because he was overspending. He helped out lots of people in his life financially as well. I've seen interviews of him where he was a very articulate, intellegent individual. He says crazy shit in press conferences and on TV like "I'm gonna eat you children" and everyone takes it to serious when he's just selling a fight.

But yeah, I feel bad for him.
