    :deal a lot of the guys who were posting on boxing forums at the time Felix made up the story know its bull**** but they play along with it. This is why a lot of people actually believe its true.

    Did anybody actually watch the prison interview that was posted earlier?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVfEDlDlLsk

    and part 2:

    Here is another with Larry King:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdbEO8XuGAQ

    To me it didn't seem like much happened in regards to fighting as he is very vague when talking about inmates but who knows maybe just didn't get to it or didn't want to talk about it although he was asked how the inmates were in the first interview. He does comment on prison guards abusing their power though so sounds like he had some trouble with them.

    Regardless these interviews are quite good with Mike (especially the larry king one), never seen them before. Watching is also a strange feeling with the hindsight of history and how it's sad that he talks about being taken advantage of his whole life and how he doesn't want to go back to it. Well we all know he went back to Don King and continued down a bad path after prison and with the rest of his boxing career.

    I always enjoyed watching Tyson fight in the ring. I do not care about any fight he may of had outside the ring.............

    Right, so Tyson beats the **** out of Razor Ruddock twice (watch the fights please), then goes into prison and gets beat up by a couple of bums?

    Not only was Tyson the baddest man on the planet at the time, but remember he was also a crook, what were the inmates going to show him that hed never seen before? Tyson was drug dealer, thug, burglar and commited many crimes before boxing, he was used to that environment

    i watched Being Tyson recently, the episode where he goes back to visit the prison, there was inmates standing by the windows.....waving at him.

    If anythign most prisoners were probably excited about meeting Tyson

    hell, Tyson got into boxing when Ali visited the prison he was in as a kid.

    I've been reading Mike Tyson's new book and he talks about how he was having *** with his drug counselor.

    He also had a bunch of chicks visiting him and he'd smash them in the prison yard during visiting hours. They'd come in with dresses and they'd just sit on his lap and smash that way.

    He says he was fooling around with some guy but things got serious and ended up giving the guy a bump on his head from a hit, but that was that.

    There would be inmates with no ears if that was true.

    Tyson was in some youth offender facility and he was kept isolated for obvious reasons, not the least of which being celebrity. In my experience: Jailhouse types tend to lie more often than most and really like attention so they will tell elaborate tales all day long if people pay attention to them.

    Tyson states in his own book that he didnt fight in prison, in fact he was too busy getting ***** while makong friends with muslims & converting to Islam.
    Tyson actually ****ed a prison tutor & got her pregnant, he was a celebrity in prison who sorted **** out for other inmates.

    As a fellow Naptowner, I can vouch for this.

    How could Tyson be the Baddest Man On The Planet when he had the living daylights out of him by bum Buster Douglas.

    Don't get all defensive because your hero was someone's ***** in prison, Tyson would have been a *****cat in there face it! :lol:
