    Newman was a fake, a fraud and a leech of the highest order.

    Most likely, yeah. Maybe even some of his own victims in boxing.

    That said, I don't think Tyson was short of confidence in the street. No reason to be.
    He slapped pro bodybuilder Chris Cormier across the back of the neck at the entrance of a nightclub one time. Chris was working the doors, and was probably around 280-290 pounds off season. Big guy.
    Also I was watching the Joe Rogan podcast not long ago, and someone who knew Tyson said that one time, he and a friend were being given a hard time by a bouncer at a nightclub, when Tyson rocked up, and asked his buddy what the problem was.
    One thing led to another, and apparently Tyson took his shoes off and chased the bouncer around a car, both running around the car, with the bouncer rather eager to get away.
    Apparently it was pretty funny.

    That was fat Joe and one of his comrades

    Tyson was supposedly chasing 7 ft tall bouncers without his shoes on

    Makes sense ... No sane person who isn't a trained fighter would ever knuckle up with Tyson in the street ... Just being big doesn't work in this circumstance

    Ah yeah the story of Tyson backing up Fat Joe and Big Pun against a bunch of bouncers, one of the best Hip-Hop/Boxing stories haha.
