      Took him in off the streets as a young fella fed and clothed him mentored him and convinced him that he can be a ruthless Killa of a boxing god heavy weight champ and he developed into iron mike. And through all of it he became a good humble intelligent man.

    When you asked him if he was into cage fighting and he replied "if two bugs walk across the table and start fighting, I'm into that!". What an epic answer. Some people like Mike just seem to come up with memorable answers effortlessly. I can remember a few good ones from him.

      The man is a legend. I`m old enough to have been a fan back when he was coming up. In the 80`s there was nothing more exiting than a Tyson fight. After he came back from prison, i had an issue with him. To much trash talk. But the man he is now.....I might be even a bigger fan. Salute you Mike 😊

      @fg5563 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Reckless was a bad word, defensive should have been used if your going to publish a description of another man's career stability. Watch and subscribe to hot boxing with Mike Tyson and listen to his story. Your 40, you assume a responsibility if you are going to describe another man's talents to a mass audience, especially if they have no information on him. Your heart is in the right place, however misrepresentation of a legend can rub his true fans wrong.

      @@fg5563 Oh for fucks sake...are you one of those people who only belive in freedom of opinion, but only if it matters to you? Who are you to tell me what I should or shouldn't have said? I assume doing that make for a miserable life sometimes. Mike Tyson had a span of years of saying what he wanted, when he wanted and however he wanted to. Quote from an interview, from when he was young: "I'll talk to you how I want to talk to you, fuck off." He has even admitted to his faults and failures of being reckless and young and immature. He said he hates how he acted back then and is embarrassed by it now. That to me is earning wisdom and growing up, so my comments and statements are justified. Also I'm pretty sure Mike doesn't need anyone to take up for him, even though you feel like a "Protector" of sorts. By the way, it's "you're" not "your". 👍
