    I dont think it was an anxiety attack. How hed been acting the entire week prior, the marks on his face, the rumors he was ko'd in sparring, ect... Im thinking that if there was indeed something wrong with him that it was stemming from him being KOd in sparring.

    Hopefully time will tell n we get the full story, whatever it was.

    ....

    On a side note.

    Tyson as an amature used to get so scared before the fight that he would sometimes literally cry.

    Obviously an amature and world champion are worlds apart. I just find it interesting.

    Stupid thread. It's already confirmed there were an issue with the security guards so his ring walk delayed a bit.

    Right you mean ghetto Americans? Nobody else respected ****** Mike Tyson. If anything doing the 90s George Foreman and Holyfield were more liked than Tyson. You know two fighters who didn't get beat every time somebody stood up to them and punched them in the mouth like Tyson did.

    So they were going to call off the fight because he got knocked down in Sparring? Another feather in his cap on the chin dept

    the thing that makes me wonder is Hearn's excuse for the delay being the groin protector. that sounded like complete bull to me, I'm not saying I believe the rumors but that sounded suspect as soon as he said it.

    Classifying everyone who bought Mike Tyson fights on PPV as ghetto Americans? Your a real winner. Since Lewis was the last great exciting fighter that everyone was clamoring to see, lets compare the numbers and see who the majority was more interested in. Are you referring to the Mike Tyson who nobody respected, yet when asked, many fighters state that Mike Tyson was one the fighters they were most influenced by when growing up and getting into the sport?
