"That is something that I have not heard before — someone say that," said the little girl to Mike Tyson.

kinsmen die,
all men are mortal;
but words of praise will never perish
nor a noble name."
- Hávamál, verse78
With all due respect Mike, I disagree. P.S. Jake Paul is gonna mop the floor with you.
Classy.
"Who the fuck cares about me when I'm gone!" A little harsh when said to a young girl, but keeping it real. Which raises the Tyson Question: what good are fame and glory and success? Anything left in the ashes that we should care about beforehand?
Kid should get out more.
Why delay the inevitable?
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face will long outlive him...
Spoken like a true Stoic. Mike is the new Marcus Aurelius.
I'm way ahead of you Mike. I don't give a fuck about you now. who are you, again?
I had no idea Mike Tyson was so considerate of others.
Was someone expecting raping, ear-biting Mike Tyson to be genteel, or something?
Mike knows Ecclesiastes.
Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.

"For of the wise as of the fool there is no enduring remembrance, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How the wise dies just like the fool!"
Tyson's head is in killer-space before a fight. The sometimes thoughtful Tyson you see in interviews in peace-time is on vacation. He is an old man about to fight for his reputation and his pride, he is going to suffer a lot, even if he wins. For him the universe reaches a point of no return in the ring. He does not care about what comes afterwards. The universe after the fight is dust and darkness, nothing. There is only the fight, there is only the punch in the mouth.
I was going to type something fine and poetic. Thanks a fucking lot, LG.
“For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.” – General George S. Patton, Jr.
Sic transit gloria mundi
How many little girls are fans of Mike Tyson and also have been able to navigate their lives to be in a position to interview him? She wasn’t expecting that answer, but she certainly wouldn’t have gotten it if he didn’t think she was ready to hear it.
BTW speaking of legacies, I heard Sylvester Stallone introduce president elect Donald Trump as the second George Washington, because of the impact his presidency will have.
Tyson's always been a lowlife scumbag bully and rapist. A real piece of shit that the younger generations of libtards just love because he's sells dope now and they lack any coherent sense of morality.
"she certainly wouldn’t have gotten it if he didn’t think she was ready to hear it."
Here's another Tyson apologist with a mind-reader's hot take. I'll give a different one: He's an immoral dirtbag with a vulgar mind and a convicted rapist's sense of propriety. Talking like that to a child is despicable. He's scum.
My thought exactly Dave. I was surprised to hear him say it. I would have guessed that he still had an overwhelming ego.
If you paint yourself white, you can return to Africa as an albino, and spend eternity as a mound of medicinal powder. You could do the same as an ornament in a Pride Parade, a bumper sticker, flying over a patio in a liberal state. A reproductive rites clinic can help your Planned final solution. A Green deal can be arranged to sequester your carbon pollutants. Just do it!
I wouldn't presume to have an opinion about this, but I really hope you are wrong. Also, I figure it's at least even money that the whole thing is as fake as WWE.
His life has gone through an arc. He was a hodlum as a younster, the greatest fighter ever (IMO), a felon who served jail time, still very wealthy, actor, world famous, married to an actress, divorced. DJT voter.
Good old Iron Mike. Reminds me of this Ditty in Tribute to Iron Mike
Mike Tyson is George Washington.
"Beyond here lies nothin'
Nothin' we can call our own"
Well, that was pre-Internet....
What adult thought it was a good idea to let an impressionable child interview a man with his history of violence? One could argue that it's a form of child abuse.
Perhaps Joyce Carol Oates could listen to this and let go of her futile Ozymandian desires.
Hitler worked hard for his legacy. As did many others.
I wasnt impressed.
Iron Man Mike has no fucks left to give.
Since this is an exhibition fight tonight, I assumed that the fighters were told to not try and hurt the other fighter, just put on a show. But if Mike is in this kind of mood, we might see something interesting. (Especially if Jake Paul isn't expecting to get hit really hard.)
But this might also be a part of the act to gin up the viewership.
