Yeah, I know. A real shocker. :bugeye: I don’t watch boxing, but frankly, I think it's appalling that in order to keep a title, another fighter, be it Hollyfield, or Lewis or whomever, is mandated to fight this guy - he's completely off his rocker. There should be a minimum standard of behavior required - I think not biting your opponents should be precluded from the acceptable list. Every fight that he participates in and gets paid for is a disservice to all the young men and women in the world that are currently training to become boxers, either for the Olympics, or professionally. It’s embarrassing to live in a society that allows a violent criminal, guilty of multiple counts of rape, battery, etc. to not only walk free, but to thrive. He’s a one man crime spree. (Tyson timeline) 1978 -- Arrested for purse snatching as a 12-year-old 1982 -- Expelled from Catskill High School for a series of transgressions. 1988 -- Robin Givens goes public with tales of beatings by Tyson. 1990 -- A New York City civil jury finds Tyson committed battery in the Sandra Miller 1992 -- Tyson is found guilty on one count of rape and two counts of deviate sexual conduct. 1992 -- Tyson is found guilty of threatening a guard and disorderly conduct in prison. 1997 -- Tyson is disqualified during rematch with Holyfield after he bites Holyfield twice 1998 -- Tyson pleads no contest to misdemeanor assault for kicking and punching two motorists 2000 -- Tyson knocks referee down in to keep punching Lou Savarese after the bout was stopped. Peace. I recall one psychiatrist describing Tyson as "socially inept." That's like saying Mother Teresa was a nun. True, but incomplete.
Yea its a descrace Personally i think boxing should be banned but dosn't it have rules like anyother sport? He just ignores them and should be banned for life
1978 -- Arrested for purse snatching as a 12-year-old He was a kid! 1982 -- Expelled from Catskill High School for a series of transgressions. Again - just a kid! 1988 -- Robin Givens goes public with tales of beatings by Tyson. Yeah, i bet she did, especially since she wanted half his sh*t! 1990 -- A New York City civil jury finds Tyson committed battery in the Sandra Miller Havent heard of this one. 1992 -- Tyson is found guilty on one count of rape and two counts of deviate sexual conduct. Oh wait - this is the one where the chick goes to his room at 2:30AM - Rape? Puhleaassseeee! 1992 -- Tyson is found guilty of threatening a guard and disorderly conduct in prison. Well he was probably being picked on. And when are inmates supposed to act "orderly"? 1997 -- Tyson is disqualified during rematch with Holyfield after he bites Holyfield twice Okay, you got me here, I thought this was totally unappropriate! I was watching that fight in disbelief! 1998 -- Tyson pleads no contest to misdemeanor assault for kicking and punching two motorists Cant comment on this one either 2000 -- Tyson knocks referee down in to keep punching Lou Savarese after the bout was stopped. No comment. I dont necessarily agree on his behavior, but all the times hes been screwed over - especially by women - its no wonder he has such a bad attitude. Oh and by the way, he does punch people for a living. Theres usually some kind of anger that makes a person get into boxing in the first place. I dont think he should be allowed to fight professionally, not after the Holyfield incident, but what he does in his own time - shouldn't have anything to do with his career.

Tyson did an interview with Maxim Magazine a few months back and tried to beat up the guy who was doing the article
I bet the guy who did the interview was being a jerk. I seriously doubt the interviewer came in and said "Hey Mike, how are you?" and Mike swung on him. I mean, come on! If I was constantly made fun of and riduculed and accused of everything - I would be kicking peoples asses too! But who knows, I could be wrong and Mike could just be a total jerkoff himself. I dont know, I like to see all sides of the story before I point a finger and yell "Rapist"! Groove onPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
I don't CARE if the girl went to his room If she said no at ANYTIME its rape Both sides can ALWAYS stop and the other person MUST acept it There IS such a thing as date rape
Excuse me, um... Sybil? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! In the Death Penalty thread, you are one of the first to yell, "Throw the switch!" despite arguments that the person in the chair might be innocent - yet here you are, defending someone found guilty by a jury of their peers (who are usually presented all sides of the story). What's the deal? Peace.
Goofy I dont know... maybe I feel sorry for him Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! BUT! Mike Tyson was not accused or found guily for doing a heinous act of murder either. Those are the cases where Im usually yelling "Throw the goddam switch!!!" But seriously, I dont know why I defend him. I seen a documentary on him, and felt sorry for him.

hmm,.... I bet he and his mouth don't stand a chance in a 'real' cage-fight,...the guy 'just' (or barely) knows what boxing is about,....it's sport (or should be) that means there is an implication of sportiveness,...something wich he (this tyson) has a lack of,... Society most not be so shocked when these patterns of behavior start to emerge from the depts of it's realm,... It's the way that goes conform the 'act of popularisation' blood in spain,..bullfighting arena-fights in rome during the history of gladiators,...ect,.... It would be wrong for people to take a pejorative stance towards boxing : but that's exactly what's happening,...all because of this 'Tyson'.
