As usual, he has to try cheap tactics again, but still got his arse BEAT! Maybe he will quit talking smack before a fight now?

Agreed, but he was through long before this sham of a bout.  He should have never been allowed back after the Holyfield incident.

He just sat there and gave up like a little girl. ::)
 What a wuss!!! I would have rather gotten my butt whipped, rather than just crawling away in shame.

 He never got his head together after prison,what a waste.

Agreed Mike, what a waste of potential long term career stuff. I guess being from "the streets" he was one of those that really could not handle the fame and fortune when you combine that with his life prior to being a prize fighter and then there is the influence of "Don King."

Yes, I think biting someone's ear off just because you are miffed at getting your arse beat up in the ring is good grounds to ban for LIFE. Not to mention the history of domestic violence, I mean kids live with with that crap everyday and then see a champ getting away with it? Some role model, eh?

Agreed Guys, But
If only he had stuck with "Kevin Rooney" if he had done that and not let that biatch Robin Givens get to him
Well
I think he could of been an all time great - Perhaps even the greatest, he certainly had the firepower,
I,ll never forget the early fights he had - jeeses he hit like a freight locomotive  :o

No doubt about his power Davey, I remember the days it was not IF you were going to win against Mike, but HOW LONG YOU COULD LAST against Mike.

He should of called it a day after the Holyfield fight.

Potentially he could of been one of the greats, top 3 heavyweights in my opinion, but he blew it with his antics.

Tyson will be back in the ring. He has no choice. Between Robin Givens and Don King ripping him off, he has to fight or the IRS and the other people he owes will be all over him. The problem is, he's just about run out of tomato cans he can actually beat.

That fight was like the Ali-Sphynx fight.  Tyson is just a shadow of the fighter he once was, to the point that younger fighters are hoping to pick his bones for a little publicity.
