@lemondrop saidWhen "Cus" died it affected Tyson badly, because he was also Tyson's manager. Don King got his hand in the mix, and the already confused and mentally suffering Tyson was doomed.
had his father figure not died it would have been something else
they kept Pete Rose out of the Hall of Fame for gambling
Tyson should not be on anyone's list
he should not be given that honor
Tyson could have likely recovered if he had better people around him at such a critical time, but was not the case.

Tyson's rescue from his criminal past was to channel his aggressiveness to a legal way to beat people up
that did not make him better
it made some around him a lot of money but Tyson was not and could not be rehabilitated
@lemondrop saidI think the record shows that Tyson was doing quite well under the guidance of Cus D'Amato, both with boxing and personal growth.

@chaney3 saidwhen Don King is involved you can guarantee somebody will be robbed

@chaney3 saidYour first post said you thought Tyson to be the best fighter ever. Many disagree with you. Were you not judging him yourself? The Sportswriters who follow boxing didn't even mention him in the top 8 best fighters.
Maybe you don't realize it, but your internet persona reveals that you lack character, and that you are a horrible person. You have no business judging Tyson.
