Mike was always a nut, but he went absolutely insane after going to jail. He was probably the best pound-for-pound puncher in boxing history when he was in his prime.
I think that loss to Buster Douglas probably screwed him up in the head pretty badly. Seems like he was never the same after that. Boxing was never the same after Tyson went insane and Holyfield got old.

Mike was training in one of the casinos in vegas as a side show. Right in the middle of the floor to bring in people to gamble. Now he is doing a series of 4 round exabtion matches world wide against corrie sanders. Its like a traveling circus.

I'm a black man and i'll be the first to say that his own people did him in. White people took him in and trained a champion. Then he let them in and convinced him to get rid of the people who truly loved him. Another case of black on black crime. They used, abused, and then left him alone.

He is probably still around. He has problems, I think, and if he overcomes them, he could be back.;-)
