re: Why is Mike Tyson viewed favorably?

Has to be one of the dumbest women who ever lived. You don't go up to Mike Tyson's hotel room just to "hang out."

Everyone likes a winner, especially one who did it such dominant fashion.

I would honestly encourage you to lighten the frick up. Why are you so mad at Mike?

On that particular night, he would've beaten any boxer in history

Impossible to validate. I mean, I feel the same way about Ali in Zaire. If he can take the beating he took from Foreman, there's nothing Tyson could do any different.

I stated in a previous post that I’m not a fan of Tyson but ultimately the above is the answer for society at large. People will give talented and entertaining performers a pass for a lot of shite. It’s the Average Joe with no special skills or talents who has to take the hard road to redemption, especially men. A reasonably attractive woman can frick up her life and some pussy hungry guy will still marry her and give her a comfortable life. Men have to be useful or productive in some way other than sex and procreation for anyone to give a frick about them.

This is evidence of boxing ignorance. No, the division wasn't as loaded from 85 to, say, 90 as it was during the 70s. But, the period that had Sonny Liston, Ali, Frazier, Norton, Foreman, Holmes, Shavers, etc., was an anomaly.

Marciano destroyed the division in the 50s and the knock is, "Dearth of great fighters against whom to prove himself." Yet, Marciano defeated Jersey Joe, twice (the rematch by KO in the first round), La Starza, twice, Ezzard Charles, twice, an aging Joe Louis and Archie Moore.

Same thing for Tyson pre-Douglas - he handled Quick Tillis and Mitch "Blood" Green before he was 20 years old. Trevor Berbick was 35-4-1 when Tyson faced him. Pinklon Thomas only had 1 loss coming into the Tyson fight. Carl "The Truth was a lie" Williams only had 2 losses (22-2) going into the Tyson fight. That fight took 93 seconds and 10 of that was the count.

Until Douglas, he handled whatever heavyweight they put in front of him. There was just no "Frazier" or "Foreman" equivalent for him, as Ali had.

Exactly. Stayed in his lane, more or less. Unlike a Lebron James.

Even if there was a plan to have sex, that doesn’t give him free reign to do whatever he wants if she later decides no. What if she had planned to have sec with him but then got there and changed her mind? Can he just have sex with her anyway? What’s your honest opinion, think about your sister or mom in a similar situation.

I love all of the comments like “he stuck to being himself”, “he never tried to be anything by else” etc. Why is it admirable to be “real” or genuine if the real or genuine is a moron piece of shite?

Do you love them really? Because I have mental problems and am incapable of discerning seriousness from facetiousness.

But if you’re being facetious, I’d surmise that you’re possibly extrapolating a little too much. Myself, I did make such a statement, but the intent was to merely demonstrate that it makes it a good bit easier to look past those personal flaws when they’re not mad dogging you with how your political or religious etc stances are wrong and stupid, and of course theirs is the model opinion and position. Again, much like your Lebron Jameses and such.
