Mike Tyson was once one of the best ring fighters ever. His worst opponent was not anyone he faced in the ring though. Mike has psychological problems. He suffers from bi-polar disorder or possibly schizophrenia.
Mike is faced with a delima that many with psychological problems are faced with; which medicine to take, how much, how often, etc. We have all seen the mood swings. Depending on his meds, Mike may appear in control and even humble or a maniac.
The Mike Tyson we see today is just trying to pay the bills. You can't blame a guy for wanting to keep the fame and money. It's just said to think how far down hill he has come from the fighter he once was.
I remember years ago sitting with my Dad watching Mike's first few fights. Even then my Dad said Mike was going to be one of the greatest. Dad was right. Mike was one of the greatest. Given the meds Mike will need to take for the rest of his life, we will never know what we're gonna get when he fights or even when he talks.
I'll say this for Mike, he raised the bar during his prime. He blasted the other fighters. They knew when the got into the ring with him he was probably gonna knocked them out. They just didn't know what round.
Mike will probably end up dead within a few years, unless someone comes along and controls him. I really don't think he has more than a few years left. If he makes a little money and wins a few UFC type fights then good for him.
