    Far, far from it, going by his book. The last third of the book, which details his life after his retirement, is basically pure debaunchery with ***, alcohol & drugs. It was only much later when he had hit rock bottom that he started to try and turn things around. (Just going by what he said in the book.)

    I personally think that he'll be battling his demons for the rest of his life. At least he's making a concerted effort to try to turn things around, but as he says, each day is a struggle.

    I found the last third of the book very heavy reading, very personal stuff going on in there. The book as a whole is a real roller coaster ride.

    I interpreted it differently as well. More like they were ****blocking the husband/boyfriend. I think saying "be nice to our boy..." is a far cry from ****. It doesnt help that pretty much everything that comes out of Tyson's mouth is hyperbole. Thats why the book gets tiresome as it goes on with his escapades in the later chapters.

    Why does it have to mean ****?

    maybe I'm wrong....but to me I'd guess it means have *** with him or give him a blow job or something (based on how he used women around that time that he'd pick up) ....and if that is put to her under the threat of her husband getting badly hurt then its something shes forced into ...which in turn amounts to ****
    maybe just how I picked it up

    Yes, he has made that statement about doing "a lot worse" things in his life, but it remains a very vague statement.

    There's nothing that he's admitted to, or even properly implied, that the rest of society considers as A LOT WORSE than **** ... so the statement just serves the purpose of creating an illusion of brutal honesty, and/or is written off as hyperbole.

    Anyway, no right-thinking man here would trust a prime Mike Tyson not to **** their daughters. Everyone would consider him an unusually high-risk proposition in such a scenario. And that's not because we're media-brainwashed racists. He's got form going back to his teens.

    Yeah, you're probably right.
    So maybe I'm wrong. He has 'admitted' to **** ?

    The guy's a complete ******* either way, and deserves to be shot dead if he even did that once to a married couple.

    Coercing a woman into doing anything under the threat of killing her husband is a serious offence regardless of what we take "be nice" to mean.

    It's enough to provoke another Death Wish sequel at the very least.

    and theres the stories of when he was a kid, helping old ladies with their shopping, once he got them alone he would knock their teeth out and mug them

    im not surprised when bowe said, whever he saw Tyson, hed cross the road because you could never tell what kind of mood Tyson was in.

    After being released from prison he apaprently converted to Islam. Foreman said Tysons conversion was a complete sham, hed also been baptised just before the **** incident. After being released from prison many muslim boxing figures tried to surround Tyson to keep him away from Don Kings clutches and 'show him the light', what does Tyson do? he has them booted out of the room and after they left he said 'ha ha, i really ****ed them up'.

    Don Turner, Holyfields former coach was asked about training Tyson around 2000, he replied, he wouldnt teach him much, he would revert him back to Rooneys training program, but hed also have to clean up his act. He stated all this recent news about Tyson isnt new, hes been a scumbag for most of his life.

    Also in the Peter Heller book, it was stated that after the gun incident, Tyson was planning to have Teddy Atlas murdered, and nobody would ever suspect Tyson.

    You seen the interview he gives after he kos Savarese? 'i had to bury my best friend Darryl baum'?

    Darryl baum was the guy who shot 50 cent and was then murdered in retaliation, Tyson put up £50k to find the killer of his 'friend'.

    None of which means even remotely that he was a ******.

    I've only read the first two chapters but there's some pretty ****ed up stuff that happened in his childhood. I don't think anyone would have been "normal" under the same circumstances.
