Tearful Mike Tyson to Oprah: 'I'm Tired of Failing' - Yahoo! TV Blog

In an emotional interview with Oprah Winfrey, Mike Tyson claimed to be a new man - one focused on his family. The former heavyweight boxing champion feared that the erratic behavior that has dominated his life for two decades would kill him within two years if he returned to it.

I feel sorry for Mike. He has many issues. He is trying. He is trying very hard. GOD bless him and may he find peace with GOD.

Letz see if Mike can back up what he says. This interview is a good start. i have seen Mike Tyson make too many abrupt changes in his life. He needz to settle down and stick with this. Not be off on sum new, strange sidebar in the next two months. He needz the "right" people around him. Good luck!

Yep, I guess for black men, committing rape would be a relatively minor "screw up."

Man! You're everywhere!

My bad I didn't know anything about a rape.I did not read the whole story.I never said anything about race.A rapist is a rapist and thats wrong wheather their black,white.

[LMAO]

Typical black male rapist and the blacks that idolize him.

His problem is all of his best years were used making other people rich. If he had better people around him he wouldn't have screwed up like he did-- and yes, that includes the rape. Better handlers would never have let him put himself in that situation.

This is so true. And Mike would've been a much happy man.

Word! When those old school boxing trainers were handling him, he was going in the right direction. They treated him like family. I think the father of the two passed away and then some money grabber like Don King got ahold of Mike and we went by the "waste" side....

I bet your brother has a obama for president too, we would have been better off with tyson, at least some of the other countries would fear him.He probably knows more about economics and foreign relations as well....hmm, wonder if you can still buy those tyson for president shirts? in any case, your brother is probably not mentally equipped to make an intelligent choice for comander-in-chief, so ask him to refrain next time, huh?

Heh heh heh. Most outward aggression is based on inward insecurity. ;)

TYson had it all, and he flushed it down the toilet--typical black self-destuctiveness--how'd that EAR taste Mikey?? lol

How the hell can you feel sorry for a racist? I mean, just being a racist and black-supremacist and spouting off absurdities is one thing, because no one with intelligence really believes you or gives a fuck; they're just reading for the lulz. But to actually feel pity for a racist, primarily because he's black ... if Rocky Marciano was a rapist I'm pretty sure only KKK-level racist whites would sympathize with him. We've found a new low on Topix

*edit; I meant, how can you feel sorry for a rapist?
