    Tyson needs to retire i'm a huge fan of his but I do have eyes. Even in the 1st when he nearly had williams out he looked to me like an old man trying to fight, trying to get it back, it all looked like it was too much hard work for him ( not suggesting he's lazy ) i mean like he cant do it anymore not purely that he cant be bothered to put the hours in. He's totally shot and that's all there is too it - the man should retire otherwise he'll be getting beat by proper bums on a regular occasion

      I find it so bizarre that so many are rooting for this one-time multi millionaire to come out of debt & be sickeningly rich once again.
      What kind of misplaced symapthy is that ?

      He has made an absurd amount of money....& squandered it like an idiot.

      Too bad. Let the ****er eat ramen noodles for the rest of his life.

        It was a sad sight to see for anyone who appreciates and respects a boxing. Tyson was great in his youth but the devastating man has been dead since he came out of prison. Each time he stepped up since he got beaten back down. He's lost his heart somewhere along his comeback journey and fighters have been chipping his last bits of confidence over the last few years. It's a shame his style and lack of height prevents him from been able to conserve his energy alot more because he could be a threat with his power but as things stand he gets a 6 minute chance to win in every other fight he takes in my opinion. It was sad to see him return through money problems but he hasn't got anyone to blame but himself in that department.

          because anyone whos ever cared about him truely has died.

          He had to raise himself, and pretty much, when he finally got money etc, many around him he let manipulate and take it away, not to mention he basically pissed it away as well. I sympathize with him because i know if i didint have my mother, id probably be living a much different path right now not having a father in my life. Thats all.

            I love your signature man, Return of the Living Dead is one of my favorite movies.

              Tyson is Arturo Gatti, in that Tyson knocks opponents out and is exciting, but really can't compete on the elite level and still win. Has June 8, 2002 been so long ago?

                Well....You should root for Mike to become a better-rounded person.
                Someone who has to go learn a trade, & live a normal life.

                I feel no pity for someone who earned 300 million dollars, a lot of which came after what should have been a lesson-teaching prison stay (though I believe he was not guilty)......& somehow manages to find his way in 30 mil in debt.

                I don't care about his childhood. He's pushing 40....no excuses & no sympathy.

                    Yup, same here.. 1 million in some parts of the world is enough to last a lifetime....

                      Tyson at his age and present physical state won't be as dominating as he was before . . . but don't count the guy out . . . he is still very much capable of beating a lot of those rank younger fighters in the division.

                      Never mind his life outside the ring . . . I'm a boxing fan so who cares.
