Ski Hat, my brother; the feeling is mutual.

Wow! You look a lot like me--in my more tumultuous years.

I recommend a vegan diet to maintain that pulchritudinous physique.

Have a great evening, brother.

:ahh: you spoke to me Mike. You are an idol of mine even though you were a self admitted scoundrel and a devious cad. Your skills enhanced the cells in my medulla and it gave me hope of developing an impregnable defense against fighters who dared challenged me with their somewhat primitive skills. Through your Brownsville blood, I learn to blow everyone to Bolivian.

Sk... [pause to hold back tears]

Ski Hat, I want you to know something, you don't have to be a malevolent individual to have an consummate impact on people, man.

I learned the right way through life's acrimonious trials.

Cus D’Amato once said; "Boxing is a sport of self-control. You must understand Fear so you can manipulate it. Fear is like fire. You can make it work for you: it can warm you in the winter, cook your food when you’re hungry, give you light when you are in the dark, and produce energy. Let it go out of control and it can hurt you, even kill you….Fear is a friend of exceptional people."


[clears throat]

EDIT: That quote is from Fire & Fear: The Inside Story of Mike Tyson by Jose Torres (January 1990)

Don't let the elephantine challenges of recreants (excuse my language) hold you down, brother.

Let them know you fly free as pigeons. My great friend, Nasir, put it wholly coherent; the pigeons are the ghetto hawks who release their excrement on top of our heads--now, which of us is free?
