I guess the other boxers can rejoice. No more having to feel like you need to wear ear muffs before getting in the ring with this fellow.

It's a shame. He had it all, and it had to end with him quitting.

And here I was, thinking he went to see the H2G2 movie...
Sorry for the lousy German

Hey, at least he can string words together to form sentences.

"Yeah, he said he quits."

He never was all that great a boxer. He just scared people.

Peter: Remember that time we saw Mike Tyson get beat?

Judge: Ok, Mike, the word is 'onomatopoeia.'
Tyson: Uh... 'c'
Judge: I'm sorry that is incorrect.
Tyson: Oh dang.

Um, during the first 5 years of his career, he was on his way to being one of the top 5 boxers of all time. The last 15 years of his career ,90-05, was just a mistake.

There's a better way to end it? Brutal murder?

How else would you end a career? No one is going to stop in their prime so obviously their career is going to go downhill before they decide to call it quits.

He didn't have to quit in the 6th round...

If he decided to retire after the fight was over (after he or the other guy got knocked out), I wouldn't say anything.

I remember when Williams kicked his *** last summer after only 4 rounds. That was a great fight.

Ive never liked Tyson dunno why. However I, like most Britons cheered when Tyson got KO'd by the British ledgend Lenox Lewis in the space of a few rounds.

He was still boxing cause he's in debt and got no money. Bit of a hasbeen if you ask me.

Tyson may not be the best boxer ever, but nobody around here could hold a candle to him in a fight, so I think the judgements on that shouldn't even be said.

That aside, Tyson was a good boxer, when he actually did it right. Nobody could touch Ali though.

Oh my ****in god. Did you really just say that? Just because we aren't professional boxers doesn't mean we can't critizize him!!! I hate it when people say things like this "Ohh you can't do better so don't talk nanananaa"
2005-06-15, 11:13 AM #23
Agreement from me, I hate when people say you can't criticize.
nope.

Aye. Just becasue I'm not a professional soccer or lacrosse player doesn't mean I can't look at a game and point out the good plays and poor plays and know what I'm talkng about.

Gentlemen, gentlemen...the only way to solve this is in the ring. It will be Temperamental against Raoul Duke, Boco, and Avenger.
