    Another side to Iron Mike...

    http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle1230738.ece <<< I cant say I know Mike well or anything but I have been around him a few times, interacted with him, and know people who have done so more than I have...and this is a side to him that I have seen...I know he has had some things going on in his life over the years, some were his fault obviously...but Tyson isnt what many think he is. If you met him I bet you would come away saying he was a pretty cool guy

    Yeah I saw this. I knew someone in Vegas that said Tyson gave away one of his motorcycles to a guy that kept saying how nice it was. He used to go back to Brooklyn & give a couple grand to the people from his neighborhood as well.

            No, Mike has been doing things like this for YEARS... I used to hear stuff like this about back when he was still champion.

              I always beleived that Mike was a genuine and kind..In al his early fights after knockouts he would help his opponent up offered kind words..Of coarse he made mistakes and he has nobody to blame but himself. Ive always been a fan of his regardless. People make mistakes some more than others....

                When Tyson made some money he went back and paid off all the debts of a boxer he heard was struggling....

                    Mike Tyson, the most misunderstood boxer. I still say that Tyson at his peak was unbeatable.
