        I've seen tyson himself say that he was an emotionally stunted manchild many times. Guess I'll agree. He seems like a different person now though.

          Why did he start biting ears right in front of the referee when he was losing a fight?

          He had the same mental issues as Golota. Way too emotionally invested, easily forgot it's just a sport.

            That's not mental issues or example of mental issues...those are examples of "killer instinct" something only real men have and not pussy choir boys like yourself...

              A old well well past it tyson took a bad pounding by lewis for 8 rounds and even fought back in till he could no longer fight on. mind you a young prime vitali's face fell apart by the 6th round.

              thats NOT a mentally weak person at all.......

                He had insecurities. Cus protected his mind with a wall of mental reinforcement. When that got cracked, his weaknesses were exposed and he became frustrated. So, there's two ways to look at it. Yes, he was mentally strong and that's what helped him have the courage to walk down much bigger guys while taking fire. And, yes, there were ch!nks in his armor.
                “Cus was all about manipulation, psychological warfare. He believed that 90 percent of boxing was psychological and not physical. Will, not skill”. MT

                  Post-prison he seemed emotionally and mentally distraught-ed, that was his downfall... but before he went inside he was ONE TOUGH MOTHER ****ER.

                  You have to give him props, no one could've beaten a prime Tyson.
