Mike Tyson is saying now how Teddy Atlas was a great trainer and helped mold him into a champion. And he apologized to Teddy.
Kevin Rooney trained Tyson, even before Cus died. Cus wanted Rooney to train Tyson after he died and that did happen, until Don King came along and destroyed Tyson's career!
Mike is one of those people who needs something intense to do, and if he doesn't find it he ends up focussing his energy on bad ****. He needs something to fill the void of boxing, a new purpose in life. Becoming a trainer or commentator seemed like the logical career move but that is doubtful as he doesn't even like boxing anymore.
Tyson is an accidental genius and comedian. This guy admits he has been lying to everyone and that he is a bad SOB and yet judging by youtube likes - that clip had over 1200 and only 35 dislikes. That just goes to show how well liked Tyson is, the bloke is openly vulnerable and I think everyone has embraced and rallied around him GOAT.
Very sad indeed. I was sold on him being sober, he looks like he's enjoying himself much more these days.
Mike will always have his demons. Really feel for the guy. Deep down he is a sensitive guy. He's had one roller coaster life. He just wants to be loved.
