Tyson had to overcome himself and his own destructive tendencies to accomplish this. he was a short heavyweight. He relied on conditioning, preparation, power, speed, timing, angles, and a killer instinct to rise to the top of his game against bigger opposition. We should all be so fortunate to be able to do the same in our lives. |

I'm glad to see that Mike Tyson seems to have changed his ways. I used to love watching him fight although those fights lasted only seconds sometimes, usually only minutes. I hated to see what he had become. Kudos to him for turning his life around, if, indeed, that is what he has done.

I couldn't have said it better. I think as he gets older, he is just realizing it's time to grow up. |
