man i don't even remember posting that shit was so long ago... could be mistaken, but didn't he get fucked over by the IRS? like he had a SUBSTANTIAL amount of taxes owed, but no matter how much he paid on it, the sum would never decrease??... like i said could be wrong

 

[LUClEN]

Bill Buckner

 

[its....JOHN B]

Mike Tyson

What??

Please explain.

You might not remember but Mike Tyson was seen as the second coming of Muhammad Ali. He broke Ali's record to be the youngest Heavyweight champion.

But then he got caught up in that rape charge and his stock went downhill from there. He couldn't get good management or a decent trainer and went downhill.

He's one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and one of the greatest living athletes of any sport, but he gets a bad rap. Considering how great he was in his prime he should be doing commercials.

All fucking crap, his stock went down after losing to Buster Douglas, his stock had never been higher then when he was fresh outta jail, stop posting

Lol at i might not remember. Foh

Wtf are you talkin about? His biggest paydays came after he got out of prison for rape. He was in high demand when he got out. His bad managment and trainers were HIS choice. He is prolly liked more by the media and white folks now than when he was actually boxing. He is in movies, has a cartoon and even had a broadway show. The closest he ever came to being black balled is when he was suspended for biting Holyfield's ear. He brought that on himself tho.

Blackballed and Tyson should never be mentioned in the same sentence. If anything, Tyson is the poster child for getting a second, third, and even a fourth chance in life to succeed.

[Shizlansky]

Dude played damn near 15 years in the league.

Skills was diminished and drama queen.

How the hell he was black balled

 

[Rampage12]

Jack Johnson and Joe Louis

Joe Louis wasn't blackballed, he was almost universally loved...Rocky Marciano just beat him into retirement.

 

[PanchoYoSancho]

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is America's sweetheart.

lmao at T.O

nigga is the WOAT teammate//

TO was a good team mate.

nigga called out Donovan on his bullshit.

niggavtried tibhelo win the chip with pins in his ankle while Donovan throwing up in the huddle.

TO work ethic was crazy an had the emotion to win.

don't let the media create that negative TO stuff for you.

Some people in here got revisionist history like a motherfucker. T.O. was an all time great on the field, but he brought drama everywhere he went. When someone gets ran out of 3 franchises that they're helping win, they're the problem. T.O. was being a chatty patty calling Jeff Garcia gay in interviews and was taking shots at McNabb and the Eagles while he was still on the team.

I'll give it to T.O. that for 3 years in Dallas he was relatively good and not involved in the B.S., but y'all need to stop acting like T.O. didnt love the drama. He always had something to say about everything and when you do that, you're gonna get a reputation and he earned his rep. It's just by the end of his career, the talent wasn't good enough to deal with the bullshit.

 

[VulcanRaven]

T.O. was snubbed for the HOF

 

[King_MOEbra]

2Pac and Biggie

How the hell he was black balled

He had nearly 1,000 yards his final year he wasn't that washed

 

[king hassan]

I think some don't know the meaning of being blackballed. When you disrupt the establishment for political reason's you get blackballed, being a spoiled fuck nigga don't count
