Love him or hate him, he was the youngest heavyweight in boxing history. Unfortunately for Tyson, Cus DAmato died. But Tyson's boxing career was finished when he lost to Buster Douglas in 1990.

I'm not going to disrespect the sport by losing to this caliber of fighter. I'm sorry to disappoint. I wish there was some way the fans could get some of their money back."

What a flaming, narcissistic jerk.

It's all about him, and always has been. Can't even congratulate his opponent in a fair fight.

Good riddance you small little cretin.

Tyson was just on the receiving end of an old fashion Irish ass-kicking!!!!

Unfortunately for Tyson, Cus DAmato died.

Absolutely correct. He could have gone down as one of the greatest fighters in the sport.

"I can still get in shape but I don't think I have the fight and guts anymore,"

Tyson just doesn't have an ear for the sport anymore.

Tyson: 'I don't have the stomach for this'

That is something that both Tyson and viewers(if any) can agree on.

All those fights and big purses and hardly a dime to show for it. This last purse will be gone in the ring of a bell.

head butting McBride

Tyson is a pig. He plunged a thumb into the eye of his opponent in the Olympics, and his dirty fighting tactics have never changed. but throughout his career people just look the other way. I enjoy boxing, but Tyson has done nothing for the sport except make money for people who take it the easy way. Everyone wants another Ali, but Tyson has never been anything other than an overrated street thug.

I used to be a boxing fan but pay-per-view absolutely ruined the sport. The last time I payed for a fight was when Michael Spinks took a dive at 1:46 of the first round.

Boxing promoters and boxers are like the UAW. They drove/are driving their meal ticket straight into the ground.

That said, I think Tyson is a thug, and now it looks like he'll back back to shacking up on friend's couches until he dies doing something stupid.

I remember reading an article on an interview with Tyson where he discussed how he liked to "hurt women" and other abysmal behavior that altered my perception of him from man into beast.

Since then I kind of figured when he "went" it would be a spiraling high speed tailspin right to the bottom.

He hasn't gotten there yet.

And I can say that this brings me no joy nor any real emotion. He's a trainwreck of a man.

Perhaps he'll find Jesus. Despite my disgust I'll say a prayer to that end. Best that this part of Tyson's life has found an end as well.

You are so right.

I, for one, like Mike. I wish he would allow some good people in his life now. He has a good heart!

I wish him well.
