Mike Tyson: My belts are garbage

**MeiXiang** · 11-19-2011, 09:32 AM

It's nice for him to understand the reality as he gets more wisdom with each passing day but he didn't really have to exagerate it in that way. He could have just said it didn't mean anything to him using the word, "garbage" but he didn't need to throw the WBA on the table. Afterall, without the belts he wouldn't have realised that they were garbage eventually in which case, they still meant something to him and even now as a reminder of how he feels. He'd have thrown them away if he really felt hatred towards what he achieved.

Belts are material.

What he achieved in the ring will always mean something, to someone, somewhere.

All belts do is collect dust. I bet Mike would've given up all his belts to stay away from Robin Givens and dodge the jail sentence. If Mike had a little more wisdom back them he would be known as the Greatest of all time hands down.

It's never about the belt itself, it's about the feeling of victory and the better life the money will (or should) bring.

He should sell them on eBay.

very disrespectful to throw them around like that.

The belts are garbage yet he has them out on show?

Forza enters thread and finds something to criticize Mike about, there's a surprise.
