    Okay thats fair. I'm not an unreasonable person unlike others on here. It's good to see you can discuss things without swearing & getting abusive. Not once have I levelled personal abuse at you or Mike Tyson I am simply giving my take on his career & asking the question as to why people analyse his career in a unique way to anyone elses. A question that is yet to be answered.

    Wasted talent? I'm so tired of people saying that because it doesn't make sense. Tyson made millions off of his talents, how much have you made off of yours? I assume you mean Tyson didn't fulfill the entire course of his talents when he made some bad decision, but not the less his talents were not entirely wasted.

    Secondly, people don't "move on" because Tyson like him or not is a legend and an all time great. In his prime I believe he would have destroyed all of the other all time great. A prime Tyson with the right people in his corner would have destroyed the likes of a Joe Louis, Marciano, Foreman, etc.. Ali would be a challenge because of Tyson's now apparent mental weakness. Talent wise he'd destroy Ali as well.

    Definitely not overrated, but didn't fulfill all that his talents had to offer.
