I'd like to see how intelligent those who shyt on Tyson would sound/be if someone they trusted blew 300 million of their money while they were locked up during the prime of their life for a crime they didn't commit.
Mike Tyson's intelligence is underrated

I always hear gems in his interviews. a lot of times i learn something or take away something from listeining to him.
He is an intelligent dude that was taken advantage of by people he thought he could trust, then turned into a spectacle by a media hell-bent on seeing him die basically. I'm glad he's still alive and is in a better place so that he can live his life by his rules and not anybody elses.

clearly he's not intelligent if he blew what, 500 mil? that's a clear sign of stupidity.
does he have excellent vocab? absolutely. he also has the greatest quotes and interviews of any athlete in any sport ever, and arguably THE greatest quote ever with that "my style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable" line.
and the vid of him singing "monster mash" on jimmy kimmel >>>>

There is a difference between Intelligence and lack of Education. Now I am not going to sit here and call him some sort of great mind, but he actually shows a bit more than those in similar positions. The man could not even pass the GED, but again I think that has more to do with his lack of education more than his actual intelligence...he had one love and was able to acquire all that knowledge about boxing at a very young age. He just lost that discipline shortly after D'Amato died.

He is an amazing storyteller, and his diction is underrated. He is very well spoken when he wants to, he has an immense vocabulary. He is a sponge, those years with Cus, made him extremelly educated on the art of speaking. But he still a nikka.

these cacs done got fearless now that reps are gone...
but yeah, that documentary opened everyone up but really tyson always was intelligent its just when he doesnt have to portray a bully/beast boxer gimmick to help promote fights you can see it. Same with money may, his image is a showboating flashy guy but in a fight he's a machine who breaks down opponents and has one of the greatest defense/counter punch systems in history.
mike breaking down his approach to fights was calculating, deliberate, and amazing to hear. check it out...

That movie is great man, when he calls Don King "reptilian" is classic. That clip is great because he is not watching the video that they are showing, he is recalling and they timed the video up to him.
man "I don't even know the word you just fukking said."

yeah, I think its clear dude is pretty intelligent.
His vocab was big during his boxing career, which he never got credit for and he has learned a lot from his mistakes as a youth.
If anything, his life is a clear example of the American educational system failing.

Mike is a fascinating study, no homo or whatever the fukk i'm supposed to add there but yeah, dude has always had that way of making you actually focus on what he's saying. If I were an up and coming boxer, especially a heavyweight, i'd be studying that dude thoroughly how he presented himself in his interviews, he made you buy in.
