    , with no true loving guidance, coming from abosulutely nothing, you know for sure, without a doubt, that in the early 80's, you are making millions by knocking guys out in the first round that you would have "invested it wisely" like you have in your mature years? Really? Without question? Come'on. Some humilty is needed here. Boxers are not noted for thier wisdom. Boxing is not a wise investment in itself. These guys are living and fighting for today only.

    Now, I must say, you are a man that did the right thing and I appaud you...(and also want investment tips from you)...ha!...but seriously, it sounds like you invested your money late in life and it paid off but, even in that investments are not a sure thing..see Madoff. How much would you credit your success to your own wisdom? 100%, 80%, 50%, less?

    As a teenager I did dumb stuff...in my early twenties, I was down to my last 10 dollars before I got paid in a week, I spent the money on a music CD that sucked...I had no food in my house. Stupid! I think if I were the heavyweight champion of the world and money is getting thrown at me...and women...at 19, 20, and 21...seriously, I probably would not be here today.

    Tyson and those other guys are lucky to be alive. God had much mercy and grace on them.

    If grown men want to buy Tigers, 25 roomed houses,eat their way out of the rankings, have 10 cars, put **** up there noses, and in their arms etc,that is up to them, no one is holding them down to do so. Tyson is a piece of **** who got robbed by a smarter piece of **** , no tears from me there. People need to man up and take responsibility for their actions, it's their life ,and their choice how they live it.

    Thank you,

    We both expressed clearly our perspectives. I will not push the conversation further than it needs to go.

    Thank you for the responses.
