Am I taking crazy pills? He's a convicted rapist who spent time in prison for rape and assault. Why is everyone jumping through hoops to defend him? Literally just need to Google MIKE TYSON RAPE and it'll pop right up. It's common knowledge
Here I guess, though I know the Tyson boys will jump down my throat about it:
Would be great if such claims would generally come with some kind of source. Otherwise people might just not believe that ThatWeirdGuy1001 snorted some marijuanas back in college.
He has almost a meme celebrity status, he is in the hangover,he appears in rap videos, he was on comedy central roasts... and he is a rapist.
Now if he wanted to stick to boxing and boxing related things, where he was an undisputed legend I'd be fine with it. Its not like he has marketable skills beyond that.
People get meme crazy and start to kind of confuse the person with the memes. I remember back when Biden was VP I found all the Nice uncle Joe memes to be weird. And I'd get downvoted for saying it. I never liked his record before becoming vp due to the drug war and police militarization he assisted. I wonder sometimes if that meme status helped him get elected despite that.
I've seen billboards for one of those "Have you been in a motorcycle/car accident?!" law offices and it's one of the lawyers squaring off with Tyson.
I've had so many questions: Did Tyson actually agree to do that? How much did they pay for him to do that? Is this law office illegally using his image? Do these offices usually have these kinds of celebrity-endorsement funds just lying around?
And then, it's like, why Tyson?! Like, yeah, he's probably one of the most well known boxers, but... He's a rapist, and when someone asks me to name a celebrity to endorse lawyers, the first name that comes to mind isn't "Mike Tyson, obvi."
Tyson wins, absolutely smoking this clown in round one - and I would be happy.
It is a draw, Tyson loses, Tyson wins but it's close or Andre the Giant emerges in round 6 and beats them both, confirming the farce this event is.
Tyson was the most dangerous man in a boxing ring by a country mile. Even if he's lost 80% of his peak strength, he hasn't forgotten how to box and survive against the hardest punchers in the world.
Anything less that a total Tyson victory is a sign it is rigged/staged more than any fight in history. I would actually have more respect for this amateur clown if he's allowed Tyson to legit fight and Jake goes down after the first hit.
I'm gonna say this as someone who used to fight muay thai in my youth and who is still a lot younger than Tyson....
You lose speed with age and not a small amount.
Tyson looks in absolutely phenomenal shape for his age and there is no doubting his fight IQ and I really hope he wins but Paul is also in superb condition and looks strong and fit. I'm predicting a close fight, possibly with Tyson gassing. That would be my tactic if I were Paul.
