addiction doesn't ever go away. hopefully he gets himself together and stays sober.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Not surprised. And I dont buy the notion of him being this nice guy today . So he's been using this whole time? He's never gonna quit

[Violent Demise]

Tyson ain't no quitter

I've turned around a little on Tyson, I hope he gets himself together. I will say this about Mike Tyson, that bad guy in Tyson will never go away. The good Tyson might be able to hold the bad Tyson in check, but he'll always be there. I hope he figures out a way to make it happen, I believe he is serious.

When Tyson was really acting mad you would assume that he was on something, when he got really big you would assume he was on something, but in looking so sharp and being really quite articulate these days, you look at him as being on the mend. I guess it isn't as simple as that and he relapses like many do. Tyson will always have his good days and his bad days, but he is so, so down on himself when he is down. You worry that one day, that side will just take over and something bad will happen. You really hope that he manages to hold it in, as Tyson really does give a lot of hope to a lot of people. He isn't in permanent trouble with the law, he is making baby steps into promotion, he is seemingly making progress with his life. I wish him nothing but the best.

When people get so high in life sometimes they feel the need to turn to other things that they think will fill the 'hole' that they are missing. Sad its happened to someone iconic in life whether they've made mistakes or not

Mike has a lot of demons. Brownsville Brooklyn is hell on earth and he is a product of that environment. To be where he is today is truly amazing.

what a drug addicted alcoholic

He looked like it in hindsight. He had that hyper 'I can smell things and taste my food again' look. Senses clear out like a vacuum but hope he gets it together if he wants new promotions to succeed and not be just a gimmick.

This illness is going to be a life long battle for Tyson. I hope he finds a way to get on top of this and treats this illness like he treated 80s alphabet title holders! And when things are not going so well, he has the proper support around him.

The guy has spent most of his life around people who have tried to change him for the better and he has either stabbed them in the back or blamed everyone of them for his short comings which is bullshit. There are people who have been born in 3rd world countries that make Brownsville Brooklyn look like a playground and have been respectful individuals. Tyson was born a bad seed and always will be a bad seed. Good fighter but he is a follower a blamer and a weak individual.

I don't know why so many of you are shitting on Tyson, at least he's being honest and open about his shortcomings. How many of these classy, beloved athletes practice politics and hide their inner demons for so long, make excuses, blame others. At least Mike is now putting the blame where it belongs (on himself and himself alone) and trying to change his life.

At least yes...

I do not really think it matters what we write. If it is, and Tyson is than 'insecure' then it really could be over for him very soon.

Tyson always has provoked extremes in the boxing community, I guess to a degree that is his lasting appeal, and his politicking, as he does seem to play up to it...

I hope he stays well and keeps those demons controlled.
