"Hey! Welcome to Boxing after Dark and stuff. We got us a crappy card tonight, but I'm selling out the venue anyway! I'm Mike Tyson, here with Lennox Lewis and his tasty kids." "Hellllloooooo!"
Tyson should just open his own gym. What could he possibly learn from Roach that already does not know?
Just watched the Tyson film/documentary. Felt almost like an obituary. Not seen so many people who obviously has so much pain in their heart/soul as Iron Mike.
Roach is a smart man. He must have his reasons. Although, Mike would be great as a trainer to a young strong heavyweight.
i agree 100%, mike's knowledge is outstanding and it would be great if he could do something constructive with it. in what capacity tho i dont know. the comentary thing aint a bad idea, i reckon people would be interested in hearing his take on fights. i'd heard that about moorer too, that he's been working behind the scenes for a while and doing a good job, but yeah, lets just hope that his bad habits dont rub off on pac or he's ****ed. and just dont put the man in charge of motivation!
Tyson grew up late and grew up hard. I remember him comparing himself to cartoon characters in his 20s as if he were a kid. When he matured emotionally, it was with a shock and all at once in a bad bad way. In his physical prime, I don't think he had any idea that the people in his life who said they loved him were taking him for a ride. Poor guy's stuck as a Jay Leno punchline for the rest of his life now and he knows it.
