That's always what I assumed Atlas meant and he was just being Atlas about it...romanticized, eccentric, grandiose whatever you want to call it lol
I remember reading an article about Tyson when he was still a young boxer, and it mentioned a young offender's facility that Tyson was sent to. It said very clearly that new inmates were usually raped within the first 30 minutes of arrival. I'm pretty sure whatever happened to Tyson in that place was far worse than anything he suffered in the ring.
Lewis I would say Douglas second Against Holyfield his offense got shut down by Holyfield but MIke didnt take any real punishment until the final round. The second fight was too short for sustained damage and Mike looked for a way out because he knew he couldn't win. Evander had his number
Ruddock. According to James Ali Bashir that fight ended Mikes prime and he was never the same again. Razor also was never the same after the two fights.
I don't know. This is not an experience I would wish on anyone. He was a teenager at the time, and it probably would have been a gang against the new inmate. The person who was quoted made it clear this happened to everyone, and he knew who Tyson was when he said it.
