    anyone else see his ibhof acceptance speech? I don't know why, but for some reason I feel really sorry for Tyson. He is looney tunes, but you can tell there is a good person deep in there, that just had a terrible childhood, which probably had a lot to do with why he is so looney tunes. Glad for Tyson though.

    Tyson was doomed when Cus died. He compounded this by firing Kevin Rooney. Those two things in my opinion were what brought him down.

    I didn't see the acceptance speech but pretty much agree with the thoughts on Tyson. I saw him on Kimmel about a week ago and he had his looney persona in full effect. Said he'd lost about 30 lbs since he became a vegetarian (or maybe vegan). His wife had another child recently and they named him Morocco (Tyson calls him Rocky). He mentioned some sort of new app for the old Tyson's punch-out game but said he never played it (only got the checks). He was in some sort of dancing reality show in Argentina because they "paid much better than the US" equivalent.

    All in all, he seems somewhat likeable as a person once you get past the looney exterior.
