    Default Tyson Keeps His Composure in Interview

    This is my first time seeing this, whereas in years past I think Mike would have slugged the guy, but he seems to have matured;

    Nice one. He sure seems to have matured. I get his frustration about things from the past. And particularly when it is not the recent past, you try to put things behind you and as an average guy I can (although at times...) but when you are a high profile public figure it can become your identity and that is such a tabloid way of viewing people.

    Never thought I'd see a thread title like this! It's good to see that he seems to have matured, but you'd think people would be smart enough to avoid bringing up issues he's clearly not comfortable discussing

    Some of these guys are just looking for a reaction, but why dont they cut the guy a bit of slack. Sure hes been an asshole, and more, but if a guy is making an effort to be a better person surely the press and shit should see this and quit with the bear baiting

    Yeah the b@stards, it is the press job though, to get an interviewee emotionally involved any way they can.

    Still mate,also in life when we think we have matured and changed emotionally and got over some things; similar ones or reminders seem to arise again to test out just how much we have matured.

    Once the reaction is minimal, the ones trying to recreate the friction usually give up and search for it somewhere else.

    Yeah well that shows you how good the trainer was to be able to shape a man like him and take his weaknesses and turn them into strengths through a style and a persona.

    It got the world involved in the sport again too.

    I think Tyson in his prime was pure quality. He slipped with getting rid of Rooney and then the Douglas debacle. But he was still a monster prior to jail, being able to just 'nuke' it out with Ruddock rather than using the full range of skills he had previously.

    The thing that ruined Tyson was 3 years plus behind bars. He wasn't quite the same and I don't think Holyfield (and definitely not Lewis) beat anything near a prime incarnation of Mike Tyson. Tyson stuck around as a carnival show attraction in his later years and the losses to Williams and McBride were were just end of the road blips. But for those few years, Tyson was everything you could want in a heavyweight fighter.

    He's a fighter you can always go back to and watch again and again.

    I loved to this over rated too. If he was around the Kilts would be dispatched easily and the rest would not last 7 rounds. The only thing that stopped him was himself. He is living the consequences of his mistakes.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    True, makes their timing seem perfect too.

    The heavies were ripe for the picking and they built the machine to do it.

    Like you say the wheels would of fallen off the same machine allot faster in any other heavyweight period.

    Good interview. Like him or not, he brought excitement to the boxing world when it was at an all time low. Still wish he fought Holyfield before being sent to prison.

    Holyfield was considered to be a shot fighter, when they fought in '96. What happened? Buster Douglass a 42-1 underdog that never did anything before or after Tyson. Lennox Lewis was massively past his prime and still beat Tyson.

    Tyson's biggest wins were against bums and a weak HW era. A blownup LHW in Spinks? An old Larry HOlmes? Trevor Berbick? Come on that's a weak resume.

    And the Tyson fanboys have the audacity to say he's better than Ali. Ali in his prime would do to Tyson what he did to Liston, another overrated puncher with a bully mentality.

    Yeah the guy is a legend beating up bums and tomato cans.
