8. knew it was coming...
...it seemed inevitable, with his inability to control himself and his tendency to get himself embroiled in lawsuits ($$$). It is a shame to see this once-promising young fighter turn out like this. So much talent wasted in prison and pointless disputes. And now he's really too old and today's fighters are much bigger...I saw him against Lennox Lewis...Tyson has a fighting spirit but he is just not a big enough man physically. I believe future champions will always be much bigger than Tyson.

I honestly think there is something wrong with his brain. No impulse control. He should have been on top of the world and set for life after his early start.

Yes, his 15 minutes are over. He'll never be the champion again. I suppose he'll end up in prison again after he is forgotten by time. A damn shame. I hope he can turn it around and find something useful to do with himself, but I have lost faith in Tyson and don't believe he will. I believe he will resort to making outrageous statements and actions in a pitiful attempt to generate interest in his fights. But, in the end, a fight is only interesting if he is a worthy opponent, and he is older and just not big enough for today's champions.

Maybe he can get a job on Worldwide Wrestling.

Sad. Truly sad.
