If he touches anyone at this point they will lock his sorry ass up and the person he hit would jump to the front of a long line of creditors that he owes money to after the subsequent civil suit.

As far as his head being wacked out, IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. If it weren't for boxing there isn't anyone on this board who wouldn't volunteer to take him out and shoot him like a rabid dog. Tyson is a clear example of STUPID, IGNORANT people when they get money and no guidance and then a guy like King comes along and rips him off. The old saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted." is true and Tyson is a textbook example of it. Sapp wouldn't be intimidated by this guy and anyone with a set of nuts on them and an ounce of self respect wouldn't be either. I'm not saying Sapp would win but PLEASE lets stop making Tyson into something he is not, face it he is washed up, he had a legitimate chance to make a claim at being an all time great but squandered that by going to Jail. He lost to any decent competition he faced, lewis (badly) and holyfield etc. he never beat anyone in the top 10 all time unless you count an out of shape and over the hill Larry Holmes. He never had any career defining fights like Ali vs. Foreman, Ali vs Frazier, he fought chumps and he SHOULD have destroyed them. Tyson was a flash in the pan not an all time great and he is very beatable, if McBride could do it Sapp most definitely can. Thats the end of my rant and now I will brace for the onslaught of indignation by the Tyson worshippers on this board.
I hear you. Mike Tyson is past tense. He was "ok" in his day, but then again he never beat any greats. The greats he did fight stomped him. He intimidated people because he is whacked. Now people beat the snot out of him for being whacked. People need to quit making excuses for the man. He's nothing but a punk! Look at the way he acts. So, he's got mental problems. I've worked in Psych units before...they make medicine that balances out those chemicals in your head. He just hides behind that so he can be his real self...a Punk. He'd never made it in the days of Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Holmes (in his prime), etc. We would probably even say "who's Mike Tyson?"
