No health report, although it would be fair to say his career is dead.

 

This post in the Norah Baring thread bought him to mind.

 

Just been reading this thread. It certainly is strange despite, as Tempus reminds us, the apparent death being during wartime, how somebody can slip from super-famous to seemingly insignificant in such a short time. I'll have a trawl through The Times's archives (including death notices) over the weekend and see if I can find anything.

A salutary reminder to today's superstars of how easily their memory can slip.

The fact that almost a year passed between your post and the previous one in this topic is suggestive that he's hardly on everyone's mind all day.

I'd wager that his various creditors, plus the people he hit outside the ring and the women he - ahem - involved in non-consensual activities all think about him.

 

The man would have been locked up years ago but for the money he's made others so - in one sense - others have helped him avoid issues. One time, when he was given an honourary doctorate he embarrassed everyone with a speech saying he wasn't sure what kind of doctor he might be but looking at all the sweet sisters in the audience he thought maybe a gynaecologist.

 

Kinda indicative of where his head has been for a while, I reckon.

Mike Tyson quotes

 

Some prime examples of Mike Tyson exhibiting diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain.

 

I think he's been reduced to beating up rich kids' bullies for US$5000 each.

Male prostitution is the latest career move, employed by legendary Hollywood hooker Heidi Fleiss.

 

You couldn't make this sh*t up.

I just wonder how many women would pay up to have sex with Tyson.

Perhaps the bravest ones would request him to nibble their ears as part of foreplay

I'll guarantee you there'll be takers and cash to be made. The ethics of hiring a convicted rapist and blatant mental health problem case for such work don't bear thinking about too long. On the other hand, any woman claiming he was rough could hardly claim she was surprised. There have been some sad ends for former greats, Joe Loius and Sonny Liston particularly dying sad deaths, but Tyson is in their league now. I wonder if he'll ring his old pal Frank Bruno and try and enlist him on the staff of the brothel.

They did a radio phone-in last week on my local radio stating asking for women to call and say whether or not they would be tempted to pay for sex with Tyson. About 80% of them were put off by the idea that it was Mike Tyson, but would then add.."if it was George Clooney...."

But then again my wife's aunt has a thing for Denis Franz which is just as cringe-worthy

He's forty, surely he's only good for a couple of shots a day, sort of thing. So even if 80% in your area wouldn't, he needs two rich women per day who've tried everything, bar shagging a former world heavyweight champion. Mebbe including a rich lass or two who's just discovered her husband is having an affair. I couldn't see any unfaithful husband wanting to settle it with fists where Iron Mike is concerned.

That draft-dodger Muhammed Ali would do a pretty good job as a rent-boy. All he'd need to do is put his hand down his trick's trouser and his Parkinson's would do the rest...

If Tyson was five hundred dollars richer I would say he was stocking up on crack cocain.

Russia asks: Hands off from the world’s favorite son.

 

…Last year famous boxer Mike Tyson has come to Russia. The TV report did not even surprise but astonished everybody. In picture Tyson was having a dove in his hands and even from the TV screen one could see how tenderly was he doing it. It was found out that since his childhood Mike was fond of doves and is a connoisseur of them. Such feeling for a tender fragile bird, as many other things, seemed nothing to do with the created image of the bully-boxer. Òyson moved with such a care, as if he was afraid to disturb somebody. He used to be daintily polite with everybody, really shy when praised for his sportive achievements, if he was asking for something, he begged pardon many times for disturbing and possible inconvenience.

 

Briefly, he showed himself quite different from the image, which has been created in his homeland. No. He’s not a candy kid, by no means. As a rule, candy kids do not go in for box and, for sure, they don’t become world champions. Just people, who have met Tyson during his trip to Russia, saw a man not old yet, but already sick and tired of life. A man who has encountered so many challenges, what would be enough for the whole city. And he was obviously enjoying the normal human understanding that he had found here. Nobody forced him to eat meat, when he wanted an omelette, nobody civilly noticed when he replaced a glass of vodka for one of mineral water, and when he was spending hours at the dovecote nobody hurried him to Tretyakov Gallery. When leaving Tyson said that he would come to Russia again for sure and his manager Sterling Mcferson started negotiations with Russian party about the organization of the exhibition fight in Krasnodar. The fight was planned for this summer.

 

But the name of the American boxer Mike Tyson is again in the epicenter of a juicy scandal. On last December 29 the former absolute world champion in super-heavy weight met had a car accident in the American town of Scottsdale, State of Arizona. The expertise carried out after the accident showed narcotic traces in Tyson’s blood, policemen also have found three half loads of cocaine in the star’s car. According to policemen Tyson confessed that he did drugs this day, he was not also denying his dependence on them.

 

Next day Mike Tyson was released from prison on security and on his own recognizance, anyway, the scandal was developed and notwithstanding all existing legal norms official representatives of American Themis allowed themselves not only to comment on boxer’s behavior, but also to make forecasts about his future punishment. So, for example, the judge, who is just going to determine the degree of the defendant’s guilt, has already stated that he is already decisive and irreconcilable. The judge’s opinion was to “give him a maximum”, what if translated to legal norms corresponds to seven and a half years of prison.

 

- I am not already surprised with anything, - said Tyson in one of private conversations, when he has left the prison. – All my life I am doing nothing but begging pardon. I was made a demonstrative bad man, I was called one of worst people in the world and, finally, it seems to me, I finished to believe it myself. When I was coming to some tournament, the press dissembled the number of my fights, wins and sportive titles, but preferred to tell readers about my thinkable and unthinkable adventures. And I was apologizing at the drop of a hat. I was begging pardon for pushing somebody, for saying a rude word, for hurting somebody. I only did not apologize for the rape that I had not committed and I will never recognize that I could do such a low gesture. It was a bon marché for my impresarios not to make me just a boxer, but some uncontrolled monster, I understood that it was their business, but I found myself in the unholy tourbillon and already was not able to get out of it.

 

Sic transit gloria mundi, early people used to say. What a shame. It’s a shame for a man, who gave himself not just to sport, but to the prestige of his country. Today, when pages of many publications makes us nervous with the phrase that this time Tyson will not get off by the compulsory treatment, that means double shame. Drug addiction is an illness, so it requires just treatment. But this is not just the sense. The previous boxer’s life that is the reason of his drug addiction. One sportsman, who used to be famous, cited a rather case study. If you use to strike a TV with your fist several times, then already a couple of months later it will break. But if you crash it with a hammer, then already in a week no whole detail will remain and you’ll have to throw it away. As to Òyson, he consciously left himself wide open for “club hammers” of his heavy weight rivals and every time, when winning, he glorified the very country, which no is eager and careless to through him to the garbage heap of life. He personified American strength and power, sharp impresarios were creating a good image of the hooligan and rebel, warming the boom and forcing up sweepstake rates. Why don’t Americans take their favorite son in his arms and carry him to the clinic in this way. And open the benefit account with the bank, were grateful box fans would be able to send money for Tyson’s treatment. But nothing of the sort! With cold interest they are waiting not new Tyson’s wins in the ring, but the court decision. Rates should already have been determined and the jackpot will be hit by one who will guess not the minute of the triumphal knock-out, but the term of imprisonment as well. And maybe there will be people, which would be able not to fall to general agiotage and to put everything in its place. Having said the only true thing – the unhealthy person should be cured. But not crippled. As that’s a crime by itself – to punish in America the world’s favorite son – the man who’s sportive achievement made the American state flag reign over the planet for decades.

The Tyson train wreck continues. You just know he's not going to last long (suicide, murder, OD - the possibilites are legion), but getting the actual year would be tough.

 

He'll be a popular boy inside though, what with all that money and all those drug connections.

 

Or mebbe not so popular when they find out he ain't sharing.

 

It truly is a car crash of a celeb career, but I don't think it'll be suicide though, Harry, (to cross one off the legion). I don't think he'd have got to where he did if there were any elements of being a quitter in his make-up. When Tyson goes it'll be murder and won't that perp be Mister Big on the landing?

 

Cheers,

What a pain in my left ear this guy is. Tyson should get back boxing, even if he gets his ass kicked I'm sure it will buy out pay per views. Tyson at this point might go back from being one great boxer, to being in the 'Remember me?' section of commonly read sports magazines.

 

Would anyone agree that with Tysons 'voice' and his 'face tattoo' and his drug related problems - just maybe he would make a good Reality TV show?

And I just read your whole twunt - speech... Good f****n gracious.

 

I just can't help myself, but to inform you that I feel you talk weird and your the only person I've ever known that has banged a midget 'or that's what I've been told'

 

You've highlighted your failures in the trade of grand theft and I've been around the block. It was never my deal because I realized 'If I woke up one day' and my possessions were gone I would be pissed off. So basically treat others, as you would like to be treated. I say that in all aspects of the term.

 

The dream job line to me is like losing a huge Poker Game in Vegas, a prize that you could have spent on the high class sh*t. It's like having pocket Kings, and the other guy had pocket aces. There you were at the show down 'of what matters', and you lost it all to another living-breathing human being. You then walk out of the casino with your head down and bump into his beautiful wife. She is a sucker for losers .... and it's good morning BHB! You are a winner. Take into perspective that sometimes a dream job is only a dream by thought, by reality it's 'f**k this I'm taking a three day weekend'

 

The last failure was the army, where they shave your head and get you up at around 5 AM. They make you run miles and they make you fire weapons in order to kill. They don't allow you near ladies (compare with prison) and you are living by a code which leaves the sleeping shouting and the awake in therapy three times a week. I get how they say 'the army shapes you' and matures the minds of people who will never amount to anything, but the results can be completely reversed. The army is cruel, and war is hell. Bottom line there. I've never been in the army, but long story short 'I'm real numb' but I guess I'm doing alright.

 

I felt you put it all out, so I say good luck to your days and congratulations. '

I heard the news on the radio the other night, the announcer intro'ed him as "Everybody's favourite Halibut rapist". It's unbiased, factual reporting like that that makes sports radio a truly great news medium.
