Yeah I remember Cliff Couser(the Tyson look alike) said that he once approached Mike to ask how does he handle it all? He said that he constantly had people trying to pick fights with him, bother him, harass him, etc. He would try everything in his power to convince people that he wasn't Tyson, I am sure that he was relieved when Mike that facial tattoo so that people would know the difference.
Anyways, it is sad to hear that this has happened to Mike, but it is just another case of a child prodigy getting too much too soon. I was watching this special about all of the child prodigies of Hollywood and the majority all seem to go down this same path to alcohol, coke(other drugs too), and depression. I hate seeing this happened to Tyson, sometimes I wish he had become champ at 25 instead of 20 because he would have handled things better I think. There should be some type of age limit in boxing perhaps, seeing both Wilfred Benitez(youngest champ ever at 17) and Tyson(youngest heavyweight champ at 20) have their lives go the way that they went is alarming.
