Think what you will about Tyson, who I’ve come to like as he’s gotten older, he’s authentic. That overused word fits him to a T.

Mike was born without a filter. The only things that can break through the outer shell of madness are his pigeons. I'd have it no other way.

Just curious but what is the guy in the red satin jacket going to do at the end of the video here? Now back on topic--Big Mike is ready to roll

“That is something have not heard before.”

Wow coming from a “reporter” with many years of experience that really means a lot.

In his lifetime, Tyson conquered the world, and was equally humbled by it. The answer he gave shows sage wisdom taken from both aspects. I hope he bloodies the frick out of Jake Paul and spends the rest of his life enjoying as many blessings as possible.

Nihilistic as it may be, I think that there is some good advice somewhere in that answer. Dude has probably really chipped away at his ego with psychedelics over the years.

I disagree. That look Mike gave that kid was the same look he used to give people in the ring. I think people have forgotten what a goddamn insane person Tyson was while boxing.

Mike has entered fight mode. He’s laser focused on killing Jake Paul. He ain’t got time for legacy discussions.

Yep. Roy Jones Jr. said Mike don't know how to play. He's a born killer and it's either on or off. The eyes don't lie.

I believe that in his prime some of his opponents feared for their lives when they got in the ring. That was close to 40 years ago though.

I guess what Mike is saying is that when he’s gone he won’t care what anyone thinks of him.


I read an article about him and Cus D’mato in a magazine in the doctor’s office before my son was born and it told of how Cus had taken him off the streets and turned him into a boxer. This was before he turned pro and was a great story. Then a couple of years later I got to see him fight and was a fan from there on. He was brutal. It’s a shame how many bad turns his life took after Cus died but I’m still pulling for him.
