Boxings sore losers

I think he does care to be honest, I find all this undisputed truth stuff interesting because I think when difficult questions are asked he tends to quote a remark what the papers say for an easy answer. An example would be the ear bite, he would never admit he was out matched by Holyfield, which pushed him to that point, he will just say "I was nuts", but I don't think thats very truthful. He protects his legacy by saying stuff like that and not facing real facts. he can easy say he was a drug abusing loser but would never admit certain other things.

Totally agree on the negative people around him having influence, which was his main weakness, which is something he does seem to admit, the leeches. The whole thing about accusing Holyfield of saying "I'll never fight a ******" and not accepting Holyfield's word that he didn't say it made Tyson look very dumb.

 

He may have done it more than I was aware of but the only time I saw him do that was after the second Fullmer fight and he was justified. Fullmer just ran that entire fight. He wasnt boxing he was trying to run out the clock to get a gift decision like he had done before. Tiger was right to complain. When Fullmer actually tried to stand and fight in the rubber match his payback was glorious.

 

James Toney is in complete denial of most everything.

 

Frank Bruno in 1993 after losing to Lewis saying he was going to sue him for calling him an Uncle Tom, Bruno was ugly during the build up of that fight and his wife was worse, she spat in Frank Maloney`s face (now Kelly Maloney) Lewis`s manager after he said let`s make it up after the heated build up involving the 2 camps.

 

Hopefully all of them

 

George Groves?

 

Good points.
Though in some instances (interviews) he has alluded to the fact that he bit Holyfield due to being out-fought and unable to hurt Holyfield, he was just frustrated he couldn't hurt him, and he's even said "we were both butting each other" and "he was getting the better of the butting game" or words to that effect. Which I think is truthful.
More often he says something less truthful though.

I felt The Undisputed Truth book was a mess of truth, untruth and carefully selected sordidness to present an illusion of a proper confession.

Celebrity drug confessions are interesting because they tend to directly or indirectly absolve some responsibility from all behaviour, even while the confessor is claiming to be taking responsibility. Tyson definitely went through a stage of blaming drugs for his life mistakes. Though to be fair, around 2003 - 2006 when he probably was using cocaine a lot, that might have been his perception of his whole life.

 

So many on this board become upset with me but it is stuff like this shows Jacobs for the unlikeable jerkish type of person he is underneath all that phony good guy image he puts on. He has played the race/cancer cards in the past as reasons why American should support him but I get attacked for pointing this put.

 

According to Tyson he was on drugs for every loss or bad performance. He is a master manipulator and the fanatics lap it up.

The way he talks about the use of "vitamins" and such in the Klitschko era when asked if he could beat them is very insincere.

He never answers a question when put on the spot, he just gets ratty with the usual reply "I don't know man."

 

Jacobs is the master at passive-aggressive trash talking (perhaps he even invented it)

----

pretty clearly, you'll always be a magnet for criticism from the trolls because of your aggressive posture against them (a thankless job, thank god someone's doing it);

some hurt feelings i suppose, when for example, some cat who just finished his first kickboxing class at 24hour-fitness comes on here and spews something just inexplicable like "GGG should move up to 168 because he's too weight drained making 160", and you tell him to STFU--he's actually surprised. (made up example, but i bet there are some actual ones close to it, LOL)

and clearly that lot outnumbers the core group who loves the sport & here to learn and to contribute

but at the end of the day, you're one of the 2 - 5 highest rep people on this Site (likely even higher if you calculate by rep-to-post ratio)--in other words, you need to look at which group is attacking you and which is giving you the rep (hint: not the same group and the first rhymes with "coal")

 

You definitely need to post a lot more. For my money you are one of the best as well you just need to make more pf a presence. I know posting and even reading this board can become exacerbating at times but it helps to encounter others who share your outlook on the sport. Only problem is not only do you become a target for stupid poster certain site officials start to notice you and apply a far more stringent interpretation to your posts subjecting you to frequent bans even permanent from time to time.

 

Hopkins comes to mind....

 

Why dont you crawl out of Tysons ass for five seconds and post about someone else? Or do you just come here to ***** about the man?

 

Tyson didn't need an excuse for the Buster Douglas fight, since he'd actually won the fight by KO in the 8th round.

That is defnitely the all-time greatest sore loser story.
It's brilliant.
