So I watched Michael Kay interview Mike Tyson on the YES Network (yes, the Yankees network)for the show called Centerstage. Incredibly interesting interview. I have always thought Tyson was a moron. This interview convinced me he is very intelligent, or at least very introspective and thoughtful, person albeit with his well-known communication problems. At times, he seemed exactly like the character Jamie Foxx played in The Soloist. Here is a link to an article with some of the highlights. If you follow boxing, this interview is worth seeking out. Very intersting, IMHO.

He was smart in The Hangover ..

Yeah. Like I'll EVER open a yankees link.

Not.

Just like The Incredible Hulk, Tyson is terribly misunderstood.

Yep, especially how he intelligently handled his fortune over the years and how he wisely disposed of it so he doesn't have to mess with those pesky taxes any more.

Mike Tyson says,,"I know i got them once i got their ear.".

He tattooed his face ... 'nuff said . . .

"This interview convinced me he is very intelligent, or at least very introspective and thoughtful, person "

Wow...now I think YOU are a moron!! Tyson has ONE interview that he isn't being a huge ass and everyone says he's changed. He's a borderline retarded thug. He was a terrible boxer and a POS of a human being......and as jet said, he tattooed his face. Nuff said.

9 times a better boxer than any modern day heavyweights Jade! Other than that I agree with you.

Who did he beat ? Holyfield . Cough, Lennox Lewis ..

at the point of impact, he delivered more force then any fighter i have ever seen. that's why people dropped, he rattled their brain.

nothing else about him is worth knowing.

What about Louis and Marciano ? Tyson beat Nobodies and got beat by mediocre boxers .Mean, yes,Wicked, Yep but not even close to the best. He was a short Foreman with 1/2 the brains..

the tattooed ear biter.

He's a sociopath.

Tyson was a puncher. An absolutely devastating puncher, yes, but still just a puncher. Ali woulda played with him like a cat with a mouse. I would have liked to see him fight Foreman in his prime.

Tyson was NOT a practitioner of the Sweet Science.

An ear eating rapist....
