Did the PBF V Pac fight make you think more or less of them afterwards?

    Tyson is clearly more intelligent. Give Tyson Lennox Lewis' upbringing, and this wouldn't even be a discussion.

    What was Lewis' upbringing? He had one parent and chose to stay clear of gangs and focused his energy on boxing. Tyson was naturally just a raging lunatic. You could give Tyson $50 Million even now and he'd throw it away on women..white tigers...drugs and partying. :lol:
    And then blame the white man for his turmoils..

    Tyson had 1 parent who was a drug addicted alcoholic prostitute, basically raised himself. Lennox was raised in a stable environment and went to a good school. Tyson was raised in Bed-Stuy, one of the toughest neighborhoods in North America. Lennox Lewis was raised in Kitchener :lol: Give me a break.

    That was his upbringing though bro. He didn't have anybody to tell him that if you gave people money they might not give it back.

    Violet Lewis + Mike Tyson = So many Nobel Prizes they sell the medals for scrap.

    Mike is not intelligent in any rational sense of the word..............he couldn't even look after them fucking pigeons and ferrets properly.

    Mike marrying that psycho cunt is and letting her take his money means we have to question Mike's street smarts too.

    Agreed. More intelligent, just proper ghetto. Lewis literally has the IQ of a fencepost. Tyson's core brain power is clearly superior.

    Yeah, he should've had a 40 year old bicycle delivery boy renting a room in his brother-in-law's house to advise him on financial matters

    Generally when a young kid from the hood with no guidance goes from $0->millions, they're not going to make the soundest financial decisions

    most of his money he either spent on absurd luxuries, or just gave it away by doing ridiculous things like giving prostitutes $100k cars. King might've ripped him off but i don't think the net impact of that would've been significant if he'd been remotely responsible with his money. also, King vs a teenaged kid from the ghetto with no education, you really think King is going to have a hard time taking some cream off the top?

    Yes but also you learn from your mistakes. Tyson never did. Tyson is a guy with a massive ego who enjoyed having his ass kissed and being worshipped. You're talking about a guy who gave Don King full control as both his manager/promoter and on top of that. King was given 50% while 20% went to Holloway and Horne as his "advisors". Tyson was throwing money away to those thugs and criminals and he clearly knew he was doing it. The f*cker signed the contracts himself. Then he ended up broke and blamed everyone except himself. Sorry...guy is not intelligent in the slightest. He's probably the dumbest motherf*cker who ever lived.

    Tyson got more than enough advice from Cus and Jacobs. He was warned about Don King.

    He's just carefree, money doesn't mean much to him, he's a raw human being.

    Unlike a certain boring, sensible chode of epic proportions by the name of "Lennox Lewis".

    The main reason Tyson is a sympathetic figure these days is his extreme stupidity.

    Best thread ever was when Geemoney was trying to defend an "unimpressive" naked pic of Tyson. Now mex is trying to defend Tyson's stupidity as carelessness. :lol:

    At least Tyson ended up better than Holy. 18 years ago NOBODY would have expected that.

    He was 21 fuckin years old.

    Is there ANY 21 year old that makes smart decisions?

    King is a highly intelligent sociopath who smartly played the race card on Mike. Basically he pulled "Why are you gonna let a jew like Jacobs handle your money and career? Keep it all black. AND I'll make you more money than he can."

    And Mike at that point in his life was easily influenced by things like that.

    NOT saying Mike isn't at fault as well, but he was a KID with NO EDUCATION whatsoever who got fooled by an evil GROWN MAN with an incredible business acumen and with YEARS of experience fucking people over.
