I'm a contender

Mike Tyson has me conflicted. On the one hand I think he has been exploited and probably suffers from some form of mental illness. On the other hand, he's hilarious. For his own sake I hope he just quietly disappears. But then I hear that he's considering a career in porn, and that he's spent $12000 to build an air conditioned pigeon coop near a house he just purchased in Arizona. I thought this guy was bankrupt?

Tyson Quotes:

“[He] called me a ‘rapist’ and a ‘recluse.’ I’m not a recluse.”

"Lennox Lewis, I'm coming for you man. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah!"

(On Razor Ruddock) "You're sweet. I'm going to make sure you kiss me good with those big lips. I'm gonna make you my girlfriend."

"He was screaming like my wife."

"I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I'm going to strip them of their health. I bring pain, a lot of pain."

“I wish one of you guys had children so I could kick them in their fuckin' head or stomp on their testicles, so you could feel my pain because that's the pain I have, wakin' up every day."

"Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn."

"I'm on the Zoloft to keep from killing y'all."

BUT STILL THE CHAMP:

(Speaking to a reporter) "Look at you scared now, you hoe. Scared like a little white pussy. Scared of the real man. I'll fuck you 'til you love me, faggot."
