When he was sentenced to prison for three years at age 25, do you think he was picked on by inmates during that time? I heard somewhere that he was constantly picked on because he has a high pitch voice that led to inmates making fun of him and wanting to beat him up. Is this true?!

Blogbaba may not be the biggest Tyson fan, but odds are pretty good you won't find too many inmates anywhere able to "pick on" Mike Tyson, even now. What you heard was likely untrue, Mike at 25 was just about impossible to intimidate, and if anything he picked on others. If they made fun of his voice, it wasn't to his face.

I'd like to see the average prison inmate actually TRY to beat up a 25-year old Mike Tyson.

I know the average prison inmate doesnt rate high on the IQ table, but i would think that even they would be able to work out that a solo effort at the "Picking on imate Tyson" project would be almost certainly a losing venture.
So if anyone did they were either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid.

It's been awhile but I heard he was separated from the rest of the inmate population for most of the days he was there. But I could be wrong.

the leader of the inmate population was on the receiving end of a knockout punch after he confronted Mike face to face early in his prison days.Tyson was found guilty of disorderly conduct,and threatening a guard, adding 15 days to his sentence.True story.This was his only incident in prison.

he probably had people who thought they were hard that hated him because they knew he was harder, but im sure that most inmates wanted to be on his good side. plus, he had loot, and inmates love another inmate who will buy them some canteen.

I'd like to see the size of the guy who did. Mike himself said that "people had just let him alone." he converted to Islam and became a Muslim supposeably. You have to remember that Mike was knocking old lady's out and stealing their purses when he was thirteen and that was for kicks and giggles, imagine someone trying in insult or assault him?
Thanks for the question Knicksfever3
