Not sure why we didn't have a thread dedicated to such a specimen and also one of the most candid/honest people out there. But now we do.

Chef Roble Ali learned the hard way NOT to make fun of Mike Tyson.
It all started when the Bravo star posted a photo of the boxing champ gently holding two pigeons face-to-face that Roble captioned “Now Kith,” to poke fun of Tyson’s characteristic lisp.

Tyson wasn’t exactly thrilled, so he sent the chef a threatening missive via text (the exchange was posted on Roble’s Instagram).

The boxer started, “How you do there Mr. funny man? You think that [bleep’s] funny making fun of my speech impediment? You know we always been cool when I see you in Brooklyn right? Well that [bleep] is over.

“I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember that game ‘Mike Tyson’s Punch Out’ but either way I’m gonna [bleep] you up when I see you like I did that little white boy in the game. You hear me you ostrich looking skinny cheffin’ punk? Laugh now, cry later.”

In the next text, Tyson pulled his punches a bit.

“Alright Roble you know I’m just [bleeping] with your punk ass right? you was scared as [bleep] weren’t you???? I wouldn’t even put the paws on your frail ass cause if I punched you one time you would shatter like a champagne glass against a brick wall. [Bleep] wouldn’t even be fair. It would be like fighting a girl.

“Anyways I want you and your crew to come out to Vegas soon and cater a party for me at the crib. Also, you’re a [bleep] for not picking up the phone but I would do the same thing if I were you. Peace my dude.”

An obviously frightened Roble responded, “Hey Champ. How you doin my man?? I’m glad you have a good sense of humor and can take a joke. I was going to answer the phone but I didn’t because I was in shook and I’m not a [bleep] for that because you’re Mike [bleeping] Tyson okay?!? LoL!”

He added, “Just give me the word and me and the crew will be out in Vegas cooking up something real good for you and your people. Pet your lion for me bruh. Peath and blethings to you big bro.”

Thanks...never seen this one. It's funny because Mike essentially tells the same story & answers the same questions every time he's interviewed, but it's a pretty different interview every time.

This one was very different because it sounds like he's trying his hardest to be a good, strong person......but feels he might not have the strength to deal with the adversity that comes with trying to overcome his history.

Those last 5 minutes of the interview? :whew:

Did anyone catch him on the new Real Sports?
Just watched it on HBO Go & :wow:

He had to ask Bernard Goldberg to leave his house because he was getting too emotional over the topic of his daughter's death. shyt was raw.

I hope Mike Tyson can stay in good health mentally & physically...but i dunno man. I might cry the day he dies.

If you look into his face right before he said Bernard has to go its like he just changed in an instant from crying to looking like he was ready to turn into the old Mike. Im glad Mike seems to has somewhat gotten his rage into check but as calm as he is now I no that he gotta still be smoking weed at least.

yea man...shyt I hope he still smokes weed to keep the edge off. Dude used to do coke and heroin. So i'm sure it's not easy.

What was also interesting was how he said that when he cries about Cus it's not because he's sad, it's because he has questions that he'll never get the answers to, like why he was the one, etc. I didn't realize that until then.
