    Boxers who were bullied?

    It's interesting to know that Tyson, one of the most ruthless and feared fighters in history, used to be bullied as a kid.

    What other fighters were bullied when they were younger?

          Yeah same, apparantly he was bullied because he was a boxer and they knew if he fought back it would mess up his career.

          Also I think Salita was bullied for being ***ish

              tyson was bullied as a very young kid, but he turned into a bully even before he started boxing.
