Mike Tyson on the internet

Post by conan_the_cribber »

Nice video here.



It's cool to see the Baddest Man on the Planet in such a chilled out state. He also appears to have his life under control, which is also refreshing after so many train wrecks in his life and other stories of boxers who get into trouble after being out of the limelight.

Yeah I watched this yesterday, must admit I laughed a few times. He seems remarkably at peace. I loved how he just threw away the "lost an arm" line.

He does seem at peace but I reckon he could still flip at the snap of a finger lol.

Perhaps age or the need to pay off his massive debts has mellowed him. He seems spaced out on weed and god knows how many meds most of the time, I wonder how he affords it all? He has a podcast called Hot Boxing where, mercifully, an ex NFL player leads the interviews and holds each episode together, because Mike himself seems for the most part insensate. It's good that he's alive and able to enjoy life after all he put himself through because if any fighter ever seemed destined to live fast and die young it was him.

Hot Boxin' is some good stuff. I liked the episodes when LL Cool J and Michael Rapparport were guests.

I am also happy for Iron Mike. After all the things he went through his life, he seems at peace and happy. He's very smart too of any subject, not only about boxing.

I'll have to disagree with you about Tyson being smart. In prison he failed basic maths and English tests that a child could have passed. He made more than $300m and retired owing an unpayable sum to the IRS. He could be paid $25m and be broke in three months. He was rich as Croesus and had Chairman Mao tattooed on his arm. It wouldn't surprise me if he had an IQ under 70 and was diagnosed as being mentally retarded.

A man that knows about the history of boxing can't be mentally challenged.

No, but rape is not the only sin in this world. There are pedophiles out there that haven't been convicted. There are murderers, con artists, internet scammers, robbers, thieves, wife beaters, coke addicts, alcoholics and homosexuals and so on.

The thing is IF YOU TURN BACK from your sins, that's what counts. Everybody deserves a second chance at life.

And Charlie Sheen infected 100 bitches with AIDS/HIV.

OJ Simpson murdered two people.

Bernie Rudolph scammed millions of dollars of people's life savings.

US President Donald Trump grabbed women's vaginas.

Some baseball players and athletes cheated with steroids.

And we could go on and on and on.


Tyson paid for his sins. It's over with. The man has a second chance at life and he's making the best of it. He seems at peace with himself and that's all it matters.

Bitches? I don't know if you know this, but it's not 1977 anymore. People don't call women bitches anymore. It's a derogatory term these days.

I think the truth is between what you both are saying. I wouldn't call him very smart. I don't think he'd call himself very smart, but I believe his iQ is above 70. Some people don't care when they take tests. Sometimes it benefits them to do poorly.

It's been derogatory for years. Especially, nowadays with the hip hop culture.

I wouldn't be so sure about that one. Desiree Washington had form with rape allegations. The case against Tyson was hardly ironclad and unequivocal.

Passing the tests would have shortened his sentence so doing poorly didn't benefit him in anyway. But I'm not mocking him. I would do as poorly with him in a boxing ring as he did on those tests (actually I would do worse because he'd probably put me in a coma). I just disagreed that he was smart, he is clearly far from it.

He is not academically smart but he has a bit of profundity to him.
