Everyone thought Tyson was going to kill that white boy. You know there was some big money to win beting on the white boy. Tyson is old and needs money.

Plus, if Tyson really wanted to break that dude's arm, no problem.

No, something smells fishy here, Tyson gave up too easy.

I think he made an under the table deal and got a nice tax free, ex-wife free kickback for throwing the fight.

Some crook made a shitload of money.

Hmmm, wouldnt surprise me, BUT...Mike could have made a helluva lot more money if he had won and continued to fight bigger and better fighters.

I could NOT believe he quit. It's a shame that Tyson, who was once greatly feared, has become a shadow of his former self. He should have never fired Kevin Rooney as his trainer.

Yep, you're right ALMOST. That was when the decline started.

More than just Kevin Rooney. The management team (Cayton and Jacobs I believe) he had in place after Cus D'Amato died kept him on the right path. Don King came nosing around and I believe his first fight under King was Buster Douglas.

He still owes like $40 million, so I don't know how he could have quit either.

It's fucked to see him ruin his career the way he did.

Tyson didn't throw shit.

He's a washed up bum.

His career ended in 1991.
