Even though he had a troubled life, it’s nice to see Tyson get some respect for once. He’s gotten too much hate over the years.

He is a talented fighter and a legend, like him or not. Tyson may have an ego problem, but heck, all boxers have egos. A lot of fighters do, the ego is what helps them get up there in their careers.
