OT: Tyson KO'd in 4th

Shadowtron · 07-31-2004, 03:12 AM

For anyone interested, Mike Tyson was KO'd in the 4th round by Dany Williams. I thought he had maybe a good fight or two left in him...I was wrong. For those doubting that Tyson is washed-up, tonight proved just how far he's fallen.

Pretty sad to see whats happened to him. From undisputed heavyweight champion of the world as a 20 year old to living on the street and being KO'd by a nobody as a 38 year old. It all went downhill once Cus D'Amato died. Seems like he was the only one who was able to keep him in check.

I may seem a little evil by saying this, but I dont expect to see Iron Mike live past fifty. The guy has so many problems its not even funny.

I actually feel bad for the guy. I mean I was always a Tyson fan, and he seems to have genuinely changed and been humbled by his last few defeats and bankruptcy. I mean he has always had mental problems but a lot of his behavior and actions of the past (sans the ****) could be blamed on the corrupt handlers who were supposed to look out for the guy. He was essentially a 20 year old on the top of the world who was told he could to whatever he wanted by those looking after him.

I agree I have been doubting him being washed up,but last year hit home. With that said I will be ready to cheer him on if a rematch comes along. I can not think of one american fighter thats worth a crap. Do you think this will start the rumers of big George coming back? He says he is serious but I don't know.

Considering that before the guy was a boxer he was essentially a thug {with various reports of volunteering to help old women with their groceries then literally knocking their teeth out} I can't really say I feel sorry for him.

It's kind of the what goes around comes and around theory.

Not to sound cold, but their are much better people in much worse situations right now who I'd like to see make "comebacks".

Just my two and a half cents.

I thought danny Williams had a good shot, he's relatively young and seemed really hungry for it, plus he's from Brixton. Im glad he won, Tyson's a washed up thug and I have no respect for him, no matter what achievment's he may have had in the past.

Always good when a guy representing your country wins too
