He clearly is not a happy person. What he has going on in his head, who knows. I do believe that he is capable of rape of which he was convicted of, and I do think he is a menace to society.
I wonder where all his money has gone, if he really is broke? If he is stupid enough to blow his money faster than he can make it, well, it is his life, and he will have to deal with it.
It was quite clear to me that Tyson was finished when he bit the guys ear in the ring. Not happy, I paid good money to watch a fight that barely happened. But if he had believed he could win he wouldnt have done the chomp on the guys lug hole. It was just a demonstration of his self loathing, rage and frustration.
Hes headed back to jail in the future, dont worry about that, but for what? Murder? more rape? He is capable of anything in terms of violence.
A few years ago some of my fellow fight fan\ Pay TV fight watchers over here in oz felt that Iron Mike could have taken Ali out. That was never a possibility. Ali the master would have manipulated Mikes pea brain into doing a stupid thing resulting in ignominious defeat for Mike. No doubt about that either.

I disagree. I think Mike, in his prime and before the exesses of fame trapped him, would have beaten Ali hands down. I agree that the man has a few screws loose, and I dont feel pity for anyone who "looses" $100 million.But I love boxing and as far as I'm concerned we're never going to see anyone who was as exciting in the ring as Mike for a very long time. IMO, that is the reason he's still being wheeled out to fight...Coz there just isnt anyone around anymore.
Your responses speak to the fact that our society is in a piss poor state. Would that we demanded more ot those we choose to idolize.
i have to disagree with you i think the old line "our Society so and so" is really failing to look at history-
consider all that mike has done and folks are still interested Pales in comparison to the folks who went to the Arena to see folk feed to lions- or to see folks literally kill thier opponent
while folks do die in boxing , etc, it is NEVER THE PURPOSE TO ACTUALLY KILL THE GUY while folks may secretly like to see someone die, in the
Good ole Days" folks actually went to see folks die for sport
i think wt has planted it in our minds that somehow the "old Days" were the good days, BS- never in the history of mankind up till the 1900's and moving forward was there every a group of folks known as the MIDDLE CLASS
the Ole days you were either dirt poor or filthy rich-
so no i don't think what mike did say anything about "our Society" that could not be said about others-
imagine being an Aztec and see some dude hold up a guys heart
WHILE IT IS STILL BEATING
JT,
I was inferring that as time passed and with the knowledge of how we were, we might strive to be better. Gladiatorial games of the past are well enough documented to show us the depravity of our ancestors. Are we stupider in our educated, civilized state of the "now" than the Romans were so many ages ago?

Thunder,
Who's is worse: Mike with all of his issues, the millions of people who pay to watch him, or the vultures who get rich off of him?
TJ,
I get your point, and agree to a point. Remember though, baking soda doesn't fizz if you don't add the vinegar. Its a lot easier to scoop up and dispose of the dog $#!^ on the lawn than to sepend all day swatting flies. His actions and attitude incite racist feelings and encourage the exploitation he is subject to.He is an irritant that society doens't need in a world where the media fans the flames of biggotry at every opportunity. Case in point Mr. Bryant and his alleged crime.People love dirt, I would offer that the majority who pay to see him fight are hoping to see him get his arrogant ass kicked up around his ears.

Uh, no. A thousand times no. It's fine to notice the negative, and good to want more progress, but just be sure to revel in the progress already made. Else you become a crochety old coot
Thunder,
I understand the negativity surrounding Mike and the abundant glee that some seem to be having at his loss of $300 million, but the simple fact is that he would not have had a fortune to lose if other people with issues of their own had not wanted something from him (entertainment value, a paycheck, etc.).
>>> I would offer that the majority who pay to see him fight are hoping to see him get his arrogant ass kicked up around his ears.
To an extent, I agree. As far as I'm concerned, the interest that some have in Mike is nothing but pure, unadulterated racism, and by far the majority of those of whom you speak don't look anything like him... if you know what I mean. (I grew up in America and understand the racial undercurrent that is always present in nearly every dealing.)
OTOH, I choose to believe that most of the people who have expressed an interest in him have been either boxing fans or the type of people who stop to look at car wrecks. Of the latter I have little to say, but say what you will... at one point Mike had a true boxing skill, so the interest the former group had was justifiable. They didn't tune in to his fights because they thought he was going to lose, but rather brutally pulverize his opponents. At his peak, he seldom disappointed.
