The irony is that he was brought down by a woman.
Robin Givens destroyed that kid.
Great post. I'm glad that you and dan18 brought up the numerous people who took advantage of Tyson. I was watching the Ironage movie "Tyson" that featured George C. Scott [RIP] as Cus D'Amato [RIP], and there was one friend/handler of Tyson's in a scene defending him, and someone chimed in and said "Yeah, some friend you are for $250,000 a year."
Just makes me wonder how many people were around the young Tyson just to bleed the guy dry as he made money hand over fist, but couldn't enjoy the money because of his hard training + great work ethic.
Someone said "Too much too soon."
Imagine being 20 and having just beaten the man who beat Mohammad Ali, to become the youngest heavyweight world champion in boxing history.
It must have been quite the trip - and a young and driven Tyson was ripe for the picking, in terms of being taken advantage of.
