Tyson has to take some of the blame he made bad decisions and has paid for them. It's harsh to take anything away from him as a fighter due to the oposition available.

Ali once said about himself he wasn't the greatest of ALL time he was only the greatest of HIS time because that's all you can be.

Mike fought and beat virtually all of them and you have to respect him as a fighter for that. As a person I despise him for some of his actions but I also have some sympathy because of the outside influences (King and the press) that have shaped his life.

I hope he is maturing and can give something back to boxing because that maybe the best way for him to achieve some level of serenity.
Good post fella
