    Of course he will, assuming the mental midget fights for a living, mental midgets got to eat too.

    He'll just go and fight...and win if things are going his way and fold like a lawn chair in the face of adversity, like mental midgets do.

    Well being bullied it's not nice for no person or is it different because the person we're talking about is a pro boxer? Are pro boxers not allowed to be emotionally scarred from what could of been a very bad childhood?

    You'll find that most successful boxers lived a very rough childhood that made them who they are. In Tyson's case, it made him realise just how strong he was when he attacked the person who broke his pigeons neck.

    The only difference between Tyson and others is Tyson's more honest with his feelings.

    tyson was definitely not a mental midget. I highly doubt that you would've achieved if you started out as a kid with a lisp, coming up in brownsville brooklyn. Not to doubt you, but a world champion barely out of your teens you would not be. He made some serious mistakes but he was dealt a bad hand to an extent, coupled with having no form of guidance and being completely unprepared for the circles and various things that accompany a champion's life.

    He was out of brownsville by 12 years old and living in luxury. Meanwhile riddick bowe didn't leave until his 20's.

    I dont know why you constantly bring up the age he left, "you can take the boy out of the gutter but you cant take the gutter out of the boy," not to mention, tyson's time in brownsville clearly had a profound effect on him. living in the Catskills mellowed him out, but he still maintained strong ties to brooklyn, and when Cus died, he re-acclamated himself with that environment. you cant simply assume that because he stopped living in brownsville at the age of 12, that he should've been a compltely different individual than he turned out to be. Also, I dont know why you're mentioning riddick bowe, they're completely different people, and people have different experiences, even if their upbringings may mirror each other.

    The OP is clearly a mental midget.

    - And BTW, idiot, Mike didn't **** anyone. Do a little easy research.

    While I find his personal life intriguing, the bottom line is, all I care about is what Mike Tyson did in the ring. One of the great athletes of his era. That's all I need to know.
