Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson: I Was a Killer, These Guys Are Businessmen

Yeah, fight of the Century shouldn't be boring. This fight will be forgotten.

I fell asleep during round 5, woke up during round 8, and before the end of round 9 I decided there was no point staying up any longer and went to bed. It was already so obvious what the result was going to be.

What Tyson says is true. Manny and Floyd were only there for the money.

Tyson was a small heavyweight

Tyson was an average sized HW in the 90's when he was no longer the destroyer..

Tyson of the 80's was a BIG HW with respect to his competition.

I am not talking about "height" obviously but "weight" and "build".

Anybody who considers Tyson "small" is silly.

Manny Pac is a natural bloody lightweight for Christ sake fighting several divisions higher than his optimum weight.

And Floyd would never be a killer no matter what so that's a moot point.

I respect Mike but he needs to be honest about his career. He fought with ferocity but the reason his career slid so fast was due to his lack of focus and discipline.

There are multiple facets to being a warrior; one of them is looking after the mind and body.

Nobody would watch boxing if it weren't for guys like Mike.

Floyd may get those big PPVs but it's because he holds a bunch of belts and an undefeated record in a sport where Mike Tysons can happen.

If it was a sport of Floyd Mayweathers NOBODY would give a ****. It would be less popular than professional ping pong.

Come on Mike, your opposition was usually subpar. You can't claim to be a killer if you only did it against guys like Julius Francis and Peter Mcneeley, where was the killer instinct against your fellow hall of famers like Lewis and Holyfield. I mean do people remember some of the bums that Mike fought lol.

I remember watching the Lewis Tyson fight, one of my first boxing matches, I was really disappointed in Mike, he gave up so easily after talking such a big game before to promote the fight, so I don't see where he thinks he can level any criticism toward Floyd or Manny.

GTFOH, I can clearly understand that the Tyson vs Lewis fight was one of your first boxing matches with comments like the ones made above.

Tyson gave up easily? Lennox Lewis himself was Impressed that Tyson was able to take the shots that he dished out for 8 rounds. If I recall correctly Lewis commented on how bad his hands were after the fight. So how exactly does taking shots from a guy that Is 6'5" and 240 lbs over 8 rounds equal giving up easily?

Mayweather and Pacquiao deserve every bit of criticism that they get, particularly Pacquiao.

And that is why you are broke, Mike....because you were not a businessman.

He was barely 16 stone..... small heavyweight

His fighting style made him rich, doing coke and buying tigers made him poor.

Someone needs to be making sure Mike gets his medication lately. His ass has been aggressive in recent months.

And **** you kinda need to be a businessman as much as a boxer these days or at least 75% boxer, 25% businessman. Tyson should know that. He lost millions upon millions cuz he wasn't a businessman at all. Its effed up its like that, but its the reality.

Nah you need to GTFOH.... Tyson realised he was outclassed by the 4th or 5th and plodded the rest of the fight. Emmanuel Steward said tyson had given up by the 4th, He yelled at Lewis to finish him in the 5th but Lewis hurt his hand so couldn't step up the pace. Tyson's corner said he wanted out after the 6th or 7th but they didn't pull him out. Having a good chin doesn't mean you never give up, it just means you can absorb punishment. Look at Pacquaio vs Mosley, are you going to tell me Mosley didn't give up because he got up and finished the fight? You don't need to quit on your stool or say no mas to give up, in ring body language is just as telling and Mike's made it clear he was done.

Educate yourself before you embarrass yourself next time. Doesn't matter if Tyson is your hero.
