Guarantee if Holyfield had fought Tyson when Tyson was at his best Holyfield might have lasted three rounds.
Once Gus D'amato died Tyson went downhill real fast.
Holyfield would have won

LOL!! What a moron!! If this was 30 years ago, that guy would have been laid out dead in the aisle.

Joe Rogan has a story about his desk in his podcast studio. It's wide like it is because of Mike Tyson. He was so intense during their first podcast together that Rogan felt uncomfortable being that close to him. After that Rogan installed a bigger desk. Tyson is a beast. You know, the kind of human being you don't want to mess with on an airplane.

:laugh:
I spent an entire evening with him by accident at the Chateau Marmont. Years ago.
I bought him a drink, he bought me ten drinks and we just yakked it up like we were the best of friends and then we departed with a giant hug, a pocket full of stories and the exhalation of a ton of fear.
Because you could smell the Animal lurking at every moment.
Great guy, until you make him not a great guy.

Simply not true...Cus died in 1985 and is one of ...if not the reason Mike was so dominant afterwards.He was taking his anger out on losing his father figure on the poor unfortunate souls that entered that ring.

Yes he had the anger which began to subside; but he was not the fighter he was. Less skilled; and less controlled.

That is a joke. At his best Tyson would have broken Hollyfield down quickly
By the time they fought he was a shadow of himself
Take a look at the last three fights he had under D'amato and you will see a fighter that no one in the modern era could have withstood.
Holifield was a much better fighter than Numb Nuts

the video looked kinda staged? I wonder if the two were trying to get mike riled up and hoping something would happen. cash-grab?

He fired Kevin Rooney and immediately lost to Buster Douglas. I remember that the info leaked from Tyson’s camp that he only trained for six days for the fight. Teddy Atlas, who knows him better than anybody in the fight game, has said that Tyson has never beat a top fighter and he can’t beat any fighter that he can’t bully. After looking back at his career, Atlas has a good point.

That’s tame compared to what some have done. There’s some crazy people out there. It was pretty obvious there was something wrong with that idiot. Something about air travel brings out the worst in some people.

There are jerks everywhere. And Tyson is gonna be targeted.
He is of celebrity status.
Too bad he did not have his own security bodyguard with him.

But where was airport security that is supposed to be on board ? (hidden marshalls)
where was the airport stewardess ?
was there someone on board airport personnel wise that Tyson could have contacted with security concerns ?

Sure the jerk was harassing him " on purposely" trying to annoy Tyson- for sake of suing him for money
and there are claims that the jerk threw a water bottle at Mike, but legally he just cannot take to battering the
guy as such.

If i'm in the Tyson camp, and i'm eventually sued and have to settle out of court, i'm also
sueing the airport for failing to have security measures that should've stop this jerk.
