Most fighters had it tough and you can give plenty of examples of upbringings every bit as bad as Tysons.
He earned stupid amount of millions which he blew, with his talent he was given far more opportunity than almost all, and he wasted it, I have no sympathy.
Floyd may be a knob at times, but has lived the life in the gym, obv he has done some shameful things but he can't compete with Mike.
Most boxers I meet are really nice, decent folk despite not being born with a silver spoon in their mouth. I actually resent Tyson and his like for many average people assuming being a boxer equates to being an unstable lunatic.
I wasn't giving him a pass, just saying he acts less of a dick than floyd. His books a pitiful read.
