"so as not to glorify a rapist ....have u a problem with that ??" Has he not served his time? do you think it is correct to castigate someone to the grave? The thread is not glorifying anyone it is passing comment on someone who has had a troubled life. Yes he was convicted but after the jurors sat for 10 hours and only by a slim majority. The woman who accused him had a history of similar accusations on other men as well. So do you have a problem in someone saying that the man has served his time for something he was convicted for? | |||

" I have a huge amount of respect for what Mike Tyson has achieved in his life and the incredible challenges he overcame to become one of the iconic figures of the 20th Century. He is one of the few sportsmen who's aura transcended his sport. He has lived a life of amazing highs and tragic lows. I don't accept that he is some dumb boxer with no intelligence, you only have to listen to him in conversation to realise he's actually quite sharp in many respects. I'm not in the camp of making excuses for him based on his intelligence. If I had the chance to meet him I'd jump at it. If I had the chance to have a drink with him, even better. If I had the opportunity to be his friend I'd decline it, why? because I don't like him, I don't like some of his values, I don't like many of the distasteful things he has done, I am disgusted by certain aspects of his personality. An incredible guy, an amazing life, a great story, I commend the mods for not closing this thread, we should be able to discuss this type of topic in a balanced way. " *Nods in agreement* | |||

"the c**t was sentenced to 9 years for rape...end this post please " since mr tyson served his sentance there have been what you might call developements there have been many many footballers and celebraties that have been accused of rape , in almost ALL instances it has been proved to be false allegations made by some "bimbo" that was out to get either celebrity status or compensation if mike tysons rape case was to materiallise today i doubt it would end in a conviction , and it would prabably end up being shown to be false he remains a person i have a high respect for and hold in high esteem and i believe him when he says he was falsely accused | |||

"Well if he did or did not do things he paid for it anyway. I would rather comment on the guys ability in the ring and to some extent on how he was managed or mismanaged. He was a slugger but also an accomplished boxer too. Is he the best there has been? Well i would thing he would have a 50/50 chance against anyone even Ali. I have a sneaky suspicion he would have battered Ali with his strength too. Just a shame he has been unable to have a happy private life." Check out Jack Dempsey against Luis Firpo if you want to see brutality in the ring. It's probably on youtube. It shows Dempsey at his peak, against another feared slugger of the day. Tyson modeled his style on Dempsey, but I reckon Jack would have beaten him, had he been the same size physically. Back then, in the depression there were desperate men fighting for more than prizemoney | |||

But dont you think that many boxers not just tyson have a very unhappy/unsettled private life what with frank bruno and the years of depression same as chris eubank and many others having read many bios now going to be controversial I love boxing but should it be banned. Ali and all the other greats who suffered brain damage. | |||

I had the privilege of watching him towards the end of his career and he was still imminence. The neck on the bloke was something else. | |||

Your probably right about all those punches affecting you too. I don't think it should be banned though. People still need choices of what they do or that's the way i see it. | |||

"Just a reminder as Ive had to remove a post that people are allowed to have an opinion on here Posting abuse to members that don't have the same opinion as you is unacceptable and will mean you won't be able to post again Debate like adults please " well the member who cries rape and stop the posts is clearly unable to see through the good old american judgement system , we believe mike tyson was innocent and it was a set up ...we also believe that o j simpson was guilty of murder..the whole world knew and he was found not guilty, micheal jackson was not convicted by an american court as he payed a young boy 30 million dollars for no apparent reason not to testify against him in court. we wont be allowed to debate moonwalking or touchdowns if our threads are at all linked to the american judicial system in any way | |||

(I do accept some have questioned the validity of his guilt). You seem to be attempting to turn this thread into a discussion about rape, it is not, it is about Mike Tyson. You may want to concentrate on the disputed actions of an hour or so of this guys life and ignore the other 40 years, but others prefer not to. If you want to debate rape I would be happy to do that in another thread, but you will probably find no debate as everyone would probably have the same stance. | |||

"I heard Mike Tyson used to punch tigers in the face for practice." in all fairness that may have been women.

Non of us on this forum are committing any crime by discussing and debating ANY topic as long as site rules are respected. Why do you want to draw the line? You keep trying to play the emotive card and now you want us to jump into the 'realms of supposing' by upping the anti (child rape or child murder!...... Let me be clear, I am happy to discuss ANY subject matter. I'm not trying to censor you, and will resist any form of censorship by you. In answer to your question I'm not asking you to ignore any part of the Tyson story. | |||

"actually cheryl ty was cleared of racially aggravated assault but found guilty of assault with abh. so can we just call her 'woman beater'?" no one said it was a racial crime if you look back. Fab said black woman which she was. Now if he was going to be more specific he could have said fat black woman. Which she was also, now me stating this does not make me fattist just statesman a fact. And how ever you butter it sweet as candy Cheryl still attacked someone. The media has a large part in how people are portrayed to the general public alas. | |||

"hmm i agree that she was guilty. what i'm not sure of is if the woman's colour was relevant to the post. she wasn't guilty of a racial crime therefore the woman's colour isn't relevant neither is the colour of the accused in the case of a non-racial crime " that is why I quoted it exactly the way i did..... Factually I was correct..... the person who she assulted was black.... therefore she is technically "a beater of black women"...... I never at any point said it was racial.. so....Sounds really bad doesn't it..... see how everything can be twisted to make a statement.... | |||

"well let's see. did i state that you were factually incorrect?although she only hit one woman and you used the word women. no. what i did state that the colour of her skin is irrelevant. stan collymore beat up ulrika johnson in a paris bar in front of 100 witnesses. is he a thug and a 'woman beater' or a beater of 'white women'" call him whatever you like..... up to you.... "Factually" you would be correct, so do your worst.... in fact for this exercise PLEASE do your worst... because it will also prove the other point I would make so at what point does the labelling and "stigma" end time wise? I mean the new "nation's Princess" got off very lightly for in effect "battering someone"..... | |||
