Check this story out. I never knew about this but he fought a former gang leader in 86, who became a boxer and after fighting tyson he retired from boxing and went back to the streets. Tried to catch Tyson on the streets and got knocked out.

He solved mysteries with Norm McDonald as a pigeon, what's not to love?

And it wasn’t rape / rape.

It's the case that brings up the age old question of when does no mean no? once she realized she went to far, then it became no.

I can see you’ve either never been in a fist fight, or won one. Boxing is one of the most brutal, and hard workouts you could ever do. Sure you can throw mma, and wrestling in there, but until you get punched in the face by someone that knows how to throw it.... STFU


What the frick are you babbling on about? We’re talking about the positive public opinion of a celebrity. Clearly you’ve received way too many punches to the face, Mr. Tapout.

Likeable? He’s a convicted rapist and has said unspeakable things about children and is a complete moron. Also recently beat the shite out of some guy on a plane. Which part of that do you find “likable” ?

If you were to ask me which one of Tyson and you is more likable…nevermind.

I’m not a convicted rapist, also didn’t recently beat someone up on a plane, also haven’t said vile things regarding children, so if that’s your opinion, it says much more about you than it does me

And still, he’s more likable than you. That’s why you’re mad.

His comment literally has zero bearing on he conversation and was completely ridiculous and nonsensical.

He was asked to ask him that, the interviewer says that. Anyone can rehearse something like that. Dogs can learn routines and jump through hoops, etc. Also when I first listened I thought the interviewer was making fun of the way Tyson talks.

The part where he beat the shite out of a drunken douche bag on a plane.

What about the rape part? Or the idiot part? Or saying unspeakable things about children?

I don't get it either. I guess you can be a rapist if you are a great boxer, dumb, and

I am not trying to come across as a Tyson apologist, because he obviously has/had numerous issues. But the children thing was said in a fight press conference/interview where some of the stupidest comments in the history of man have occurred. The rape conviction was suspect. An 18 yr old chick by her own admission went up alone to the hotel room of a rich famous 24 year old. To what? Have scintillating conversation? He was convicted on he said/she said case. You calling him an idiot is just sad. Its a well known fact the dude was abused as a kid, had little or no education, and had over a 100 amateur and professional fights.

You want to focus on something, focus on him being an overly violent gangster in his teens, the abuse of his then wife robin givens, and the fact he cost me a shite ton of money when his lazy arse got destroyed in Japan against Buster Douglass.

Dude even Allen Dershowitz couldn't get Tyson off, that should tell you about the evidence against him. A doctor examined her and said it was rape, Tyson's chauffeur also reported how terrible it looked.
