Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson Honored With 10-Foot-Tall Statue In Resorts World Las Vegas

The statue maker must have done this from memory. Bad memory. Couldn't sell it on ebay probably so he gave it to Resorts World. Feel sorry for Mike.

Pacquiao was sensational as said by Iron Mike.

Mike Tyson had a fantastic career and is the biggest fighter of his generation. That said, there is no getting around he is a convicted sex offender. I don't think statues should be put up to honour rapists.

I know this is something that can't be said, but MT's conviction stank to high heaven. Primarily he went down because it suited both political parties. Many on the left argue that all men are rapists, many on the right believe all blacks are criminals. So how could a black man, accused of ****, be anything but guilty? I'm generally a big city ******* but I don't buy it, never did.

I was thinking the same thing. Yes he turned his life around & deserves credit for that but a statue is a little much in my opinion…

...now WAIT A MINUTE!!

We'll tear down statues of founders because they traded ****** at a time when others were trading ******...

We'll revoke honorary mentions and credentials because lawyers did their job...

But when it's a CONVICTED rapist, who admitted doing drugs, who admitted trying to kill people, who was at one point throwing more ****phobic slurs than any man short of prime Eddie Murphy...

He gets a statue and nobody complains.

...Ok

[mind_blown]

Cong**** Mike, well deserved.

WTF that got to do with it? Are you seriously saying that because other white folks were trading ******, those guys can't be said to have done anything wrong? What was it, peer pressure? I mean this is subjectivism gone mad. 'Yes, I did kidnap people at the point of a gun, transport them thousands of miles in conditions of unimaginable squalor, then sold them to farmers who worked them til they died. BUT it never occurred to me that I was doing anything wrong'. Come on, you surely can't be so ****** &/or blind as to think that?

Since you seem to be so magnanimous in your condemnation of our founders do you still champion your human rights to present day slavery? Do you still volunteer your time to squash slavery in present day China? Pakistan? India? Congo?

Looks more like a 10ft tall Gamboa.
