Yea another Tyson thread..

Mike Tyson is the Paul Charles Morphy of boxing!

Tyson could have been unbeatable by his sheer physical attributes alone. The combination of his speed, power, and decent chin, is hard to beat, as it is hard to come by. However, he was a very psychologically challenged individual, due to background or deprivations on a personal level. When his brawn failed, his lack of the cerebral stamina prevented him from extricating himself out of dangerous situations.

In the ring, when tactics and fight strategies are summoned to serve him out of binds, is where these scenarios of inadequacies are severely tested, and likewise, it is here where he will miserably fail. Sadly, he lacked the mental maturity to persevere and overcome, as anyone would of decent fortitude.

His worst nightmare happens, bringing out the worst in him. The untamed beast in him!

After the death of Cus D’ Amato, his handler, and the father-figure Mike never had, I believe he never had anyone for guidance. He never had even at least, a decent corner in boxing matches to rely upon. He was solely “moneybags” to the leeches and parasitic low-lives, dragging him down daily.

Imagine the same burden on his shoulders atop the ring. He already is on a handicap even before his matches begin!

Misunderstood, yet, will forever be unforgotten.

He is the "Pride and Sorrow of Boxing", as Paul Morphy is to chess!

Except Tyson wasn't 5 ft 1, weighing about 80 lbs and he didn't like to dance around woman's shoes

I understand the analagy but you've chosen to compare arguably the most scary, intimidating looking dude in history with a poncy, little child man who was so gay he'd struggle to get into my Baggins Clan.
