He was a very good aggressive fighter but his mental state leaves a lot to be desired

No, he is a great example of how the wrong people can have an influence on peoples lives. If Cus D'matto was still alive then Tyson would be the greatest boxer ever. He protected him. Tyson is obvisoulsy not that bright and Don King is a dirty prick who is only out for money.

Yes, definitely. The guy just deteriorated mentally, physically and emotionally because he was corrupted by immorality and money. It probably happened when his former coach died and Don King handled him. He was misguided. It's a pity because the athlete had tremendous potential to be one of the "greatest" heavyweights. And mind you, seeing Tyson's early fights, I don't think he's too arrogant yet. Confident definitely because he was still very young then but there was still an air of humility then (I mean he looked like a good person on his photo on the Punch-out video game). The only thing fearful of him was his unbelievable strength. Right now you fear him because he's really out of his wits! What a shame and what a waste.

Mike Tyson is now a cocaine addict who is in a lot of trouble and will be in jail soon .
The guy is a walking time bomb who will self destruct sooner or later .

He was an animalistic type fighter that self defeated himself. He cannot control his emotions and goes through life in a constant termoil, always in the hot seat with the ploice for some reason or other. Too bad too because he was a good fighter, in his time.

He is a shame for the boxing
but
more and beyond, he is a real shame for himself and his family.
My opinion :(
