Of course I feel sorry for him. I mean, Tyson was 2 years older then me when he because a national celebrity. And I think I've come up rough at times, Tyson was the epitimy of a rough upbringing. 18 and 19 years old and having all this money thrust at you, I mean it's just asking for bad things. It takes A LOT of maturity to be able to come out of that situation right. Even Wilfred and Leon, I mean if you've been broke for so long and hit it big time...it's not easy to adjust to. Now of course they are ultimately responsible for where there lives go but it's sad nonetheless because most of these guys...they box to get by and when they hit it big...it's like they don't know what to do.
I know they are responsible and I know it's none of our responsibilities to feel remorse, but it's something I do feel for.

Tyson and Benitez is a bad comparison. One is dying and the other is killing himself! Leave Spinks alone. He is not asking for anything.
