I love it when Mike Tyson pulls out obscure words

Using them properly does...intelligence is subject to interpretation. Name any intelligent person and someone can name something he is not intelligent in...

 

Read his book it is the most griping book I have ever read. Tlk a out using your I phone to define words I'm 956 words in and I'm hooked cnt out it down

 

he has a photographic memory

 

Still, IMO Eubank is the GOAT at doing this...makes Iron Mike look like a club fighter.

 

I heard that during an interview someone called him a thespian, mike said he wasnt one. The interviewer than responded something along the lines of, " I dont mean ***ual orientation."

Tyson than let him know that he even knew where the word derived from.

If true, good for Mike. **** condescending pricks

 

Who said it does? Tyson(and boxers in general) is often parodied as being a dumb brute, when he is actually smarter than that.

 

If you like to hear Tyson speak and watch Chavez box then you might like to watch Tyson commentating on the Julio Cesar Chavez vs Lonnie Smith fight.

Tyson shows his knowledge at various points throughout the fight, its full of great dialogue and anecdotes. At one point he explains the history of why one corner is red and the other blue.

As for the fight its a one sided affair for Chavez, but you don't want to miss a frustrated Smith knee Chavez in the balls during round 5.

Mike would find this thread illuminating.

Tyson read a lot while he was in prison and still reads a lot...........

 

Classic

 

Mike's a man of extremes, he uses words which overemphasize his point. The sentences are usually grammatically correct, just extreme. It makes him much more engaging to listen to.

 

People act like tyson doesn't have any clue what he's talking about yet I'm pretty sure he is a member of Mensa? Doesn't he have an iq of 160 or something?

 

if he is that intelligent as you say, why did he not make use of this so called vocabulary?

 

Read his book and look who he admired and studied when he was younger.

A very well read man.
