It's 1988, you are hanging out with Mike Tyson, what would you warn him about the future?

    Exactly. It was bound to happen anyway.
    It is not like lightining struck Tyson out of the blue. He was looking for trouble... and he found it

    If anything I would tell him to put his money in google, amazon, Microsoft, etc.

    The other stuff: king, women, drugs ... he is not gonna listen, so why bother?

    Assuming this isn't against the rules, I'd try to show him some fights from my 90s heavyweight collection, then try to convince him to hire me as a career advisor.

    Either that, or steer clear of him and bet a bundle on Tokyo Douglas 2 years later.

    Avoid Evander Holyfield, that light-heavyweight that put some alley-cat on you at the '84 Olympic tryouts

    And avoid hitting Mitch 'Blood' Green at that allnight boutique and don't get behind the wheel until your next defence has been done and dusted.
