and rape scene too?

Tyson's story is really pretty tragic. He had a ton going for him but was just taken advantage of by some really greedy people who used him as a means to their own personal ends. And because he's the one in the spotlight, he's the one people blame. I'm not saying he's innocent, just that he's a product of his managers.

This has some potential to be awesome. Tyson's story is very interesting.

I loved his book, Undisputed Truth. I definitely feel that he is NOT a rapist. Just had a shitty lawyer, and he took the wrong advice. That and being an asshole does not a rapist make.

I don't even think he's an a-hole. I think he's just been burned by so many people that he's incredibly defensive. Look at any of his interviews where people are trying to get a reaction out of him. He looses his temper VERY quickly because he just doesn't know how to react properly.

I mean, let's say you meet him on the street. You say, hey mike! It's great to meet you! What are you to to these days? Remember that time you raped that girl?

Of course not. That's not how people talk unless they are TRYING to piss someone off. But journalists do that all the time to him. And for some reason, HE'S the one who looks like he's out of line because he doesn't just smile and answer the question. I've seen plenty of interviews with him where he looks totally fine, if not a little simple minded.

How people find this low-life rapist interesting is beyond me.

PHOTOS | Inside Mike Tyson's deserted Northeast Ohio mansion

Wow, that house is amazing. If it's abandoned, I wonder if it's for sale?

I grew up a few towns away from Southington. Drove past the mansion quite often. The rest of the area of this part of Ohio is shit. A lot of Amish land, ghettos, but some nicer areas. Overall, Northeast Ohio is a shit hole...
