Well, looks like it's just about the end of the line for this person. He don't seem up to snuff anymore.

Which boxer is supposed to be number one nowadays? I don't recall.

Tyson's been on the decline for a while now.

Tyson's been on the decline ever since he claimed his first lost via Buster Douglas (who was favored against 42-1) in 1990.

Douglas fought a classic fight that night and whooped Tyson's ass.

There are no interesting boxers, which is why they are making any deal out of Mike Tyson even though he is quite washed up.

Tyson SHOULD be finished but that doesn't mean that five or six months down the road Tyson's going to be put into another headline fight where he gets his ass handed to him again.

And there was this-

McBride tells paper: Tyson 'bit my nipple'

But then again, that's what made Tyson such a popular and drawing card.

You never knew when he was going to do something crazy.

If you look at Tyson from 1985-1990, he was classic. 19 wins, all KOs, 13 coming in the first round alone (he won against Michael Spinks in 91 seconds once).

Things went south after the Douglas loss. Ie-

In 1991 Tyson fought Donovan "Razor" Ruddock twice, once in March and again in June. These fights were notable because of Tyson's bizarre "jailhouse" talk towards his opponent. He told Ruddock, "Everyone knows you're a transvestite and you love me. I'm gonna make you my girlfriend. I can't wait to get my hands on a pretty thing like you".
