A sad end to yet another heavyweight champ.

History has been very cruel to the heavyweight champs.
Many won`t have any sympathy for Tyson, yester-year the same was true for Johnson and Liston but attitudes have softened over the years.
What can he do now? I hope he gives up fighting altogether, whatever rules, he just doesn`t belong between the ropes and much like Joe Louis he will just pick up further damage and get more humiliated.
Tyson is an expert on boxing history and has probably watched and analyzed all the past greats in detail, I`m sure a series of books could be put into fruitition on these and then theres his official autobiography, I`m sure these would earn very well for him.
Maybe his past is a little too dark for an all out TV commentator but I just hope he gives up on the fighting and finds happiness outside the ropes.
