"I don't have the stomach for this anymore," Tyson said. "I most likely won't fight anymore. I'm not going to disrespect the sport by losing to this caliber of fighters."

This coming from a guy who tried to headbutt and break his opponents arm. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Good riddens!

No.

He may never fight again; but the man is a disaster waiting to happen.

yeah, he'll be in the news for something soon. Too bad he had to go out like that. Gotta pay the bills though.

Coupla years ago Tyson signed a contract to fight in K-1, the kickboxing org out of Japan.

Not surprisingly he never stepped into the ring, eventually wiggling out of the contract - no doubt after seeing how those guys use knees and kicks to destroy boxers

Oh he'll be back. Maybe not in boxing, but like Ninja said, this guy is just a diaster in the making.

The IRS and all the other creditors he owes aren't going to just let him sit on a roof in Harlem and play with pigeons. They'll make sure he gets out there and does something (boxing, kickboxing, bowling for dollars) until they milk him for every penny they can.

I would do the same if he owed me money.

Maybe he'll start charging people to come and see his pigeons.

Now, that would be quality entertainment!!

Seriously, though, I could easily see him on "The Surreal Life" on VH1. They've got Canseco on that show now. The next logical past his prime goofball athlete is Tyson.

This must happen.

Does Tyson have enough semesters of English 101 under his belt to be able to form even simple sentences when on the show? Or will his handlers need to translate?
