The story about young Tyson beating up Granny's for cash?

Cliff Couser rofl)

Has Tyson ever actually mentioned this dude?

 

I remember Tyson telling this story in one of the documentaries on him (no idea which one) and it was right after he won the title, i think the berbick fight.

Kotelnyk was completely homeless by the age of 12 and grew up in Ukraine in the late 80's through the 90's when it was a economic basketcase. He slept on top of buildings, under bridges etc and know what him and his friends who were his age and homeless too did for money...? They made their own buisness and earned money selling fruit and washing cars and he managed to become an amateur star and win Silver in the Olympics. What he didn't do is beat the **** out of grandmothers. Forget your excuses, Tyson was a exciting fighter but a complete ****ing degenerate and failure of a human being.

 

Alot of fighters were poor and raised on the streets but they didnt beat up old women. Tyson did this because he was a coward. And this showed in his career. When you stood up to him he lost.

Tyson is a violent criminal he is a *****

 

yes. aparently Tyson met him and accepted there is a good chance cliff is his half brother.

 

Is it true they were close to having a pro fight together at one point?
