Tyson on Oprah

He cried for about 1 hour. He is really working on himself and I hope he keeps it up.

 

Tyson:bears:

 

Did he come out of the closet?

 

No, but he outed Lennox.

 

He was on with his new wife who is pretty hot.

 

I love Mike Tyson...but what the fuck is he doing getting married. In two years the hoes will leave you and take half of whatever you have....it's automatic...

 

He is broke. I don't think it's about the money this time. She said she has known him since she was 15.

 

Mike's one of my favourite people, wish him nothing but the best.

I wonder if Mike is going to go through that renaissance Foreman went through, where he transformed himself from a villian in the public eye, to a protagonist.

I think that Tyson documentary contributed to that. From what I've read there are a lot of people who changed their opinion of Mike Tyson after watching it.

 

For the avid fan the documentary was nothing new, but for the average person it probably shed light on why Tyson was like he was.

 

I hope so. Mike is no angel, but deep down I think he truly is a good person. Ive always felt that way. I thought he might fall apart after retirement, but he's showing himself to be alot mentally tougher than most thought.

Credit to Tyson. He created more boxing fans than probably any other fighter in history.

BTW - isnt Mike eligible for the HOF next yr? I HOPE they dont try to keep him out cuz of his history. He's a first ballot HOFmer for sure.

 

Oprah has done some admirable things but she is so full of shit.

 

I think she is there to put people off. In reality Mike has expressed his will to kiss his male opponents and fuck them

 

In prison, you're only gay if you take it.:hump:

 

a tragic figure.

some of his mistakes are definitley his fault, like X said he is no angel

but, he is a tragic figure. With his beginnings, he had very little chance of not being violent and crazy. I have sympathy for Mike, always have.

 

Theres something very human about Mike Tyson. Even if you didnt come from his beginings, theres qualities about him many ppl can relate too. He embodies the insecurity, and fear that MANY people have inside them. Thats why while some will probably always hate him, MANY will always have love for him.

 

very true. the juxtaposition of that childish insecurity and the mighty physical power is fascinating. At some level it's what being a man really feels like taken to some cartoonish extreme, we're all a little more vulnerable than we're supposed to be.

 

Really? While it is true that it is easy to feel sympathy towards him and he can appear like a nice guy at times he has also done some pretty shitty stuff to other people.

 

Exactly. He is a compelling figure but now that he doesn't fight anymore I have little interest if he lives anymore. People are just morons. If Mike Tyson moved into my neighborhood, I would be armed all the time. Look at his track record. He obviously should not be allowed to be free. I bet all of the people who "feel sorry" or think "he is a nice guy" would not want him around their wife and children. He know longer is a entertainer. He is just a guy who once had a chance of being a great fighter and failed because he is an idiot who feels sorry for himself. It is 2009. I don't give a shit about Mike Tyson and neither should you..

 

You must be an absolute joy to be around, man.

 

Tyson could probably make a decent living in the WWE as a General Manager character.


TFK

 

it's hard to feel sorry for Tyson...apart from his kid dieing

 

Hahaha, that's a good idea. Talk some jive during promos and interfere in matches once in a while, why not?

 

Holyfield-Tyson III...on Oprah.

Be fucking hilarious if a brawl broke out.

 

If it did, it would be because Mike has had such hard time. In reality he is a good guy
