yeah....that or the callusness of being a broke ****** kid has made me smart

but hey whos keeping track

obviously mr tyson would have been better off had cus not babied him and made him a silver spoon suckin moron?

[Bogler]

nobody can't deny tyson's greatness, in/out the ring, w/ all the good and the bad. after ali's era w/ foreman and frazier, tyson was the next mainstream boxer any regular fan knows. ppl would know about holyfield, lewis, toney, klitschkos but not as well as tyson or ali. they probably would know more about srl and duran than the heavies after tyson. so was tyson great? in some ways he was, after all, he did give quite a big boost to boxing during his era than all the heavies now combined.

agree...Atlas was correct on wanting to discipline him, it would of served Mike better, but the problem is when is it "diciplining" and when is it "controlling"...Atlas has a bit of an ego himself, so I am not letting him off the hook either.

Some of you talk about "OH I CAME FROM A BROKEN HOME" Tyson came from worse than a broken home, he was in a home with a shell of a mother, in Brownsville where most of you wouldnt last anymore than a week. Tyson had no dad and no semblence of parental care, he was basically on his own for the most part. Some of you who came from these "broken homes" probably had a mother/father who cared about you, or maybe an aunt, uncle etc, somebody. Tyson had nobody guiding him, at all until later in his life and by that time he had already garnered alot of terrible ways that wouldnt come undone until later.

Im from the projects also, but i had a mom who cared and loved me and my sisters, tyson didint have any of that, these events that happened to him are all his fault, but dont even pretend you people grew up the same way he did because you likely didint

Homeless Russian boy raised by stray dogs
By Richard Tyler
23 July 1998
Such are the appalling conditions facing homeless Russian children that six-year-old Ivan Mishukov preferred to live with stray dogs. The child told social workers, "I was better off with dogs. They loved me and protected me."

His parents abandoned Ivan when he was just four years old. The boy survived by begging for food, which he then shared with the dogs that roamed the streets with him. In return they protected him and found warm places to stay in Reutova, west of Moscow, where the winter temperature can reach minus 30C. The bond that developed between Ivan and the dogs was so strong that it took police nearly a month to separate them.
The article in the July 16 edition of the Guardian newspaper that reports this story is one of the rare occasions when the press gives a glimpse of the real situation in Russia today. Tom Whitehouse, the story's author, writes, "the conditions outlined in ****ens' Oliver Twist are like Disneyland in comparison with the lot of an average homeless Russian child."

He reports how some 10 percent of teenagers thrown out of orphanages when they are considered able to look after themselves later commit suicide. Last year 17,000 children were the victims of attempted murder and 200were actually killed by their parents.

Today the Russian economy has all but collapsed, with millions of workers receiving no wages for months on end. By 1995, prices had increased over 10,000 times, while wages had risen just 1,500-fold. The pressure this has placed on ordinary Russian families is enormous.

For those unfortunate children who have no family to care for them, the state-run homes and orphanages, starved of money and resources, offer only the barest minimum provision. Ivan Mishukov is just one of 2 million homeless children in Russia that are left to fend for themselves.

The fate of children and attitudes towards them can be regarded as a fundamental measure of the health of any society. What has befallen Ivan Mishukov shows that the once-vaunted rebirth of capitalism in the former USSR has produced the greatest social, economic and indeed moral collapse that has occurred in any country during peacetime.

Life's a *****...I don't blame him for going off track because at his age, his position and pressure of that position, and not having more time to learn, that **** tends to happen...he is human, just not the Demi-God people wanted him and made him out to be.

Thats how I look at it too, well said.
