Do you know something as a child the only time i and many others ever had an apple or orange to eat was at Christmas time. Never saw my Father much, Dad was to busy working his guts out like many other Dads had to do just to put enough food on the table.

When my Father was home i used to watch Dad rubbing some stuff in his bleeding hands which were caused by working with cement and lime all day. Of course as a little kid at the time i thought nothing of it.

Tyson probably feels a little sorry for himself, and now looks back and regrets someone of the things that he did in his younger days. He also i suppose thinks he had it hard in life. To me anyway putting in a 12 hour day, week after week working on a backbreaking job and seeing no way out of it for the rest of your life requires more guts and character then that so called Iron Mike Tyson ever had. I hasten to add but of course thats just one man's opinion.

Do i feel sorry for Tyson? not one little bit, it was all of his own doing. and to be very frank i am pretty sure although he was an exciting fighter as a young man, most people who have bothered to find out a little more about the so called Iron Mike i think feel the same way. That guy had the whole world at his feet and blew it time and time again. Many people had problems in there childhood but there comes a time when you have to do your best to move on and hard as it is, grown up and become a man and try to become a decent member of society.
