    Jeffrey Dahmer was a big dude, who ate people. Trust me, no one was trying to get near him. The guards set his hit up. Read the book. BTW, Jeremy Renner played an excellent Dahmer.

    As to your point about Islam, that doesn't mean much. He was in prison in Indiana. The Aryans run that joint. If he was in gen pop, bye bye. People need to get this crazy notion out of their heads about Tyson. He was the most overrated fighter of all time. Never beat anyone with a pulse. Very small HW, and would have been dominated by every big HW that was elite.

    two wars with razor ruddock showed a lotta heart..taking the beating from douglas, holy and lewis and not 'folding like a cheapsuit' like seldon or so many others did against him....just some salient points i feel...

    in the tyson movie, i got the feeling from the interviews that mike just keopt his head dwon in the full knowledge that he was a target and the guys in prison dont fight fair...im sure his quote was that it didnt matter if you were hw champ, you cant give some of these guys any more time...tyson was esentially a street smart punk and im pretty ****in sure he woulda known the script when locked up....

    I'm in no doubt that most of the inmates in there wanted a piece of Tyson, especially those who were never coming out of Jail!

    The guards also made life very difficult for Tyson & its a Testament to Mike that he got through that time. Yes, Prison effected Tyson mentally, he was a man who hated the world when he was released.

    However, Tyson has maintained that he is innocent & imagine if you were put in Jail for something you had not done? That more than any of what happened in there would effect you more!

    Poat Prison, Tyson was a more serious guy, a more miserable guy, etc. Pre-prison, Tyson did laugh, joke, have fun, etc. Even when he was interviewed, he had a laugh in there somewhere, etc. Not after Prison though!

    Tyson probably didn't even wanna return to boxing, but knew he had to in order to earn a living. King, Horne & Holloway bled him dry when he was in Prison!

    Imagine if Tyson had not re-signed with King upon his release from Prison? Would have been a good thing in my view!

    Plenty of people would :nut. Even more would want him Vale Tudo, and other dirty *******s would want at him with weapons.

    Hard ass prison's are filled with truely fearless people who truely don't give a feck.

    Anyone who wanted a fist fight with Tyson would have no chance. Vale tudo, he could get beat, and of course, a 100lb tranny crackhead could put him in a coffin with a weapon.

    Good job he was insanely famous and was worth a lot more alive and outside of prison. :good

    Most of us dont believe it means anything other than washed up boxers dominate washed up mma fighters in the stand up game. I have seen enough Sylvia fights to know that he was at best the king of the bums whereas Mercer in his prime was a very solid contender during a decent era.

    Tiny heavyweight? Are you serious? The guy was 220lbs of solid muscle. He was not tall, but he was not small. His body mass was huge.
