Did we forget he was convicted of rape..

I don't see how his success in the box office had anything to do with whether people believe he raped that women or not, or if anything it was enhanced by the common belief that he did. Ask yourself if anyone would honestly believe he wasn't capable of it? He was an extremely violent and unstable man with no respect for women. It simply had nothing to do with the fact that he was a freak of nature people would pay to see fight.

He paid dearly for that stupid act, went to prison, lost the respect of many in the boxing community, and all the money he could have earned in the ring. Man!

He earned a lot more money in the ring after he got out of prison, when he was nowhere near as good as he had been. Obviously it didn't hurt his marketability was my point. I might be wrong but I believe the Lewis fight was actually his highest purse as a pro, so what does that tell you? That was years after proving time and again that he was still a terrible human being who was practically finished as a fighter to boot! What people thought of him as a person had nothing to do with his success as a fighter, just as it never has for practically anyone.

First of all, rape is dumb in America, they are thick. Tupac went to prison for "sodomy and rape" which went down as the equivalent of grabbing a chicks ass, there was no entry through the vag nor the back end at all. He was given up to 4 1/2 years


Secondly, Desiree Washington (the victim) was massively discredited and her story was never consistent.
There were no marks on her body.
The entire evidence was her word.
SHE HAD A HISTORY OF MAKING UP LIES ABOUT BEING RAPED.

Third off, the max sentence if guilty was 60+ years (63 I think), and they only gave him 3 years.

I'm skeptical about this whole rape thing. Hard to believe that a multi million pound boxer has to rape someone, when he could simply walk down stairs and pick up 95% of the chicks he sees.


That bitch got boned hard then told to catch a cab, he was trying to fuck a groupie, and she was trying to get a husband. She got pissed off when he threw her $10 dollars for her $11 dollar cab ride home and decided to make some shit up.

Well if it was clear-cut like Paulie Ayala, IBeabuchi, ect I think it would be different.

But I think a lot of people felt, and still feel, like Mike was shafted and was innocent on that charge.

Not saying Mike was the greatest guy towards women and didn't do questionable things with them, but in reading about that particular case it seems kind of shady.

Shit sticks he was convicted, he was found guilty he went to Prison, weather he did it or not
he's still , a rapist in the eye of the Law.
Tyson was a brute a drunk, and druggy, convicted rapist hardly a role model, do I feel sorry
for him NO, he made his decisions he lives by them.

Mike Tyson was set up by the Mafia because he didn't want to fix fights. Pure and simple.

Really ,you'd think they would have picked (from all their working girls) a much better looking woman than that one! She wasn't the best, certainly no more than a 4.8 out of ten.

The justice system doesn't always work. Just because he was convicted doesn't mean people can't doubt the decision.

Mike was a piece of shit for sure, but I have serious doubts as to that guilty verdict.

When you have even women saying "why did she go to his hotel room at 2am" then I think it explains the way society generally view these type of "rape" cases.

Therefore Tyson is a rapist but not really a "bad" rapist (Just incase Missy reads this, it's not my view, merely how I believe the majority view it. Rape is rape.)
