    Story of Mike Tyson

    How is the story of the youngest man ever to become the heavyweight champion end? Reading the article in the NY Post last week, I can see the similarities between tyson and sonny liston. I'm a huge tyson fan and I only wish him the best, but realistically what is in store for mike? What is the ending to his story?

    My best-case scenario is; Mike will stage another comeback and regain one of the heavyweight titles by 2006 and pay down all his debt.

    My worst-case scenario is; Mike will stage another unsuccessful comeback,claim bankruptcy and fade into obscurity.

    I wouldnt be surprised if he made a comeback, I'd have to see it to believe it though.

        I think that Mikes worse case scenario is potentially MUCH worse that simply fading into obscurity.

          The thing that Tyson has that Liston didn't is a lot of good people in his corner fighting for him. Liston never did chase away the bad influences that troubled him his whole life, plus he was never accepted by many fans. His adopted hometown of Philly didn't even stage any sort of celebration when he won the title from Floyd.

          I honestly think Tyson will turn out okay. People who know him well say that he is smarter than you might think, and there's enough people pulling for him that they'll make sure he doesn't stray too far into any sort of madness.

            I think tyson will be fine.He could easily turn into the next george foreman and be the most loved guy on t.v. I highly doubt he will fade into obscurity. Even if he wanted to I don't think it's possible

              i could actually see that happening -Tyson becoming the next foreman. he has become a nice guy in the last year. Also I always thought that the prime mike Tyson was a cross between the young foreman and sonny liston and jack dempsey.

                Tyson is finished as the boxer. Start up better makes money in Hollywood. You see can lose any McBright or to another bum.

                  I'm sorry I don't know what you mean. Your sentenses are incoherent.
