    In an interview with Maxim Magazine, Tyson said that the best punch he ever threw was one when he hit Robin Givens and bounced her off every wall in the house.

    He also jumped the writer and stabbed him in the head with a fork as a way to describe what he would to to Lennox Lewis the next time he saw him.

    Heard this on Entertainment Tonight. Someone get that guy his medication! Sheesh!

    Or rather OFF the medication...or ON...or?!
    I actually like Tyson and hope he regains a Heavyweight Belt of some sorts, but yes he's a bit crazy. Not much you can do about that, medication or not.

    Remember a few years ago Tyson's Psychiatric Examination of which he was deemed mentally fit to return to boxing?

    Thats boxing for ya!

    Yeah, I saw taht too. I think his exact words were that she "bounced of every f***ing wall in the house."

    I swear I think he was proud of that.

    Rocketman95,

    I cannot defend it. Just like I could not defend Tyson's second bite on Evander Holifield. Nor could I defend: Barkley spitting on a little girl, my Dad using cocaine, or Evander himself biting his opponent, etc.

    I still like Tyson, Barkley, my Dad, and Holifield.

    Why do people feel the need to point out Tyson's eccentricities to me, or anyone? It's obvious he's a little looney, I've never questioned that.

    What I like about Tyson is what he was able to accomplish from humble beginnings. I also feel sorry for him because I feel that he's been taken advantage of by many people, from Don King, to Robin Givens, to his ex-trainer, to that stupid beauty queen pagent contestant. I think Cus D'Amato is the only person who tried to give to Tyson as much as he benefitted from Tyson.

    I like to watch Tyson box. As person, I don't care what he is or does. Those 3 minute rounds though... however many there may be... are the beauty of boxing. The raw power of two boxers pummeling each other for sport brings out a primal urge that makes me watch and enjoy. The punch in the jaw or blow to the head. The one that jiggles the brain just enough to make the boxer pass out. Those are the punches I enjoy most. The look in the boxers eye as if he's just sort of there...or not... the knees wobble... and sometimes they sleep, right there in the ring! Out cold. Like a light.

    I'm thinking along the same line as DREAMer and I totally agree with him. I've had family, close family, do some stupid things, unforgivable things, but I still like them. Am I condoning what Iron Mike has done? Nope. He has been taken advantage up in his life, and I feel sorry for him in those situation. The guy is a straight up nutcase, there is no denying that. But there are plenty of nutcases in sports that we cheer. But hey, what are ya gonna do right?

    He actually stabbed the guy in the head, though apparently not hard enough to be serious.

    The guy is a complete and total idiot who needs extremely serious medical help. I don't care how great a performer he is. He is in need of serious help.

    My problem with folx is If he was Pookie on the street
    they would want him locked up
    I'm really stopping trying to CUT for famous
    folx so much . . .

    I say if you would rip someone about beating
    their wife
    then you should rip Tyson

    otherwise you a hypocrit

    How much do you like what he does
    are you willing to let him beat his
    wife senseless so you can see him
    take the crown from Lewis?

    Are you willing to let him roam
    free and potentially hurt someone
    so he can take the crown from Lewis?

    At what point do you say ENOUGH

    Cause honestly. I would not let
    my or kids anywhere near him. At this
    point i'm just tired of Mike Tyson
    much like Rodman before him

    How much of what Mike Tyson does is an act?

    He does have a severe anger problem, but sometimes I think he is just trying to be a hard***. He needs help for his anger but no one can help him unless he asks for it.

    Cus D'Amato's death was the beginning of the end for Mike Tyson. Tyson was, and is, in serious need of a father figure.

    I don't think Lennox is champ anymore, so Mike will have to stick a fork in the other guy.

    At least he's using silverware now, though. It's a small step in the right direction.
