Nah, it was just a manner of speaking. As you say, one just ignores them.

Especially painful

In regard to enlightenment, I reached it when Tyson knocked out Spinks in 1988

Just kidding.

Terrible fans (they know who they are) can also be very entertaining

In fact, believe it or not, they do belong among my favorite reads over here.

I just hate when things become too personal, in that case ignoring is always the optimal choice.

I actually kind of agree with the gist of the article, but as with every Fitzsimmons piece it's written in such an inflammatory way that I can't help but hate it. It's fine to say that you think Larry Holmes might have beat Tyson if they fought before Holmes first retired but to say he would have "slapped him like a child" just either makes you sound ignorant or makes it obvious that you're just trying to make people mad and start arguments.

In any case, today June 30th is Mike Tyson's 54th birthday. Cheers, Mike!
