Mikes behaviour isnt as much from any substaces as it is the idiots that still follow him, hes the same as any bloke, surround him with a bunch of little wankers and he will play up to the crowd.

Mike is bored, he needs something to occupy his time, if he wants to fight Holyfield, let him, hell earn millions, hell have probably a reality tv programme about the build up, maybe even a reunion with Rooney and Lott, that would be a huge attention grabber and then after a few months a massive event, whether or not he wins, he will earn millions, if thats what he needs so be it.

Even though Holyfield has been quite busy over the last few years a fight between the two could still be entertaining for at least a couple of rounds and thats more that you can say about some recent heavy fights.
I believe Mike is. I heard somewhere that he had to come off them in training camp to test clean. Mike is a very angry guy, I think he's bi-polar or something like that. When he fought Lennox he was so... not there. I think he stayed on his medication somehow considering how calm he was after the fight and especially during the post-fight interview when he was holding his newborn daughter.

Regardless, in order for Mike to truly come back, he needs to tap into that aggression that made him a monster to be around. Mike was a really good fighter when he was at his peak, but an awful human being.
