Film & TV The official Mike Tyson quotes thread.

[stefanwzyga]

You have to be a real moron to ruin such a great career.

Not really. Not everyone has a happy loving childhood! And if you dont it can really fuck you up mentally, causing all sorts of problems in adulthood.

 

[S. Fourteen]

brilliant people are often disturbed.

(like me. yay 13,000)

i was laughing so hard at some of those quotes

Mike Tyson intelligent....um i dont think so... look at what the man has done in his life.... he might have an intelligent moment but this man has not made many smart decisions when it comes to his life,career, and what he says.

i think when he says those "intelligent" things he was probably so drugged up to make him feel that way.

we can all measure mikes inteligence by see what he says, and then looking at what he really does...

It might seem weird what he has done with his life to us, but this is Mike Tyson. What he has done he only knows why. He might have some justified reasons but we dont know, we can only speculate. The guy WAS a great boxer, and its sad to see him waste that away, I will agree on that. But his choices in life we cant say. He's an intelligent person.

i think that we can all say if he is an intelligent man than he knows what the consequences are for his action. If he has common sense he knows that for every thing he says is gonna be picked apart to death, no matter what he says. This is a cycle, Mike Tyson messing up and make himself look like a complete fool.


Justified reasons to him because he still knows in his mind how people are going to act when he does certain things. Its not like this is the first time, this is a NON STOP cycle. ANY sane person knows that when you say any crazy outlandish shit then the media is gonna pick it apart, and plus the man knows his reputation, does he not???

I do not agree with you, he is not intelligent he is a fool.

the man is insane lets quit fooling ourselves for a second here....

One's choices in life do not necessarily reflect intelligence or wisdom.

"I'm just like you. I enjoy the forbidden fruits in life, too. I think it's un-American not to go out with a woman, not to be with a beautiful woman, not to get my dick sucked ... It's just what I said before, everybody in this country is a big f**king liar. [The media] tells people ... that this person did this and this person did that and then we find out that were just human and we find out that Michael Jordan cheats on his wife just like everybody else and that we all cheat on our f**king wife in one way or another either emotionally, physically or sexually or one way."

"There's no one perfect. We're always gonna do that. Jimmy Swaggart is lascivious, Mike Tyson is lascivious -- but we're not criminally, at least I'm not, criminally lascivious. You know what I mean. I may like to fornicate more than other people -- it's just who I am. I sacrifice so much of my life, can I at least get laid? I mean, I been robbed of my most of my money, can I at least get [oral sex] without the people wanting to harass me and wanting to throw me in jail?"

"At times, I come across as crude or crass, that irritates you when I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all that person because that's who you come to see."

"I'm the most irresponsible person in the world. The reason I'm like that is because, at 21, you all gave me $50 or $100 million, and I didn't know what to do. I'm from the ghetto. I don't know how to act. One day I'm in a dope house robbing somebody. The next thing I know, 'You're the heavyweight champion of the world.' ... Who am I? What am I? I don't even know who I am. I'm just a dumb child. I'm being abused. I'm being robbed by lawyers. I think I have more money than I do. I'm just a dumb pugnacious fool. I'm just a fool who thinks I'm someone. And you tell me I should be responsible?"

And you say this guy is a fool? Far from it. He understands things.

 

[HiGhTillDeaTH]

yes he understands things shit he has a brain, it functions, but not properly, he doesnt learn his lesson.... thats all im sayin.... if hes not intelligent to figure out the public is gonna shit their paints everytime he does something, but he continues time and time again to make ridiculous decsions..
peace

As i've said previously, his ring persona is exaggerated to sell out arenas, you're the fool for buying into it.

I don't know many fools who started out where he did with the childhood he had and made all that money, even if he doesn't have it now, he is still marketable enough to make it back, which to me, is not a fool.

You need to recognise that intelligence isn't always in the form of academic achievments, it's about playin to your strengths, somethng which no-one can doubt Tyson has done.

Where in the fuck does his intelligence come into play when he is being marketed????? He is marketable because he has beaten the living shit out of people, in other words, boxing.

Tyson has one strength and it is his muscles, thats it. He lacks what a normal person has in their head..

let me put it this way and ask u a question......

another question, if this man is soooooooooooooooo fuckin marketable then why is he not out there in the world being marketed, why is he not in the spotlight, where the fuck is mike tyson???????????????????????????????????????

he will never make 10% of the money he made in his prime, cause he is FUCKING INSANE AND UNINTELLIGENT.

i dont give a shit what none of u guys say, this man is the definition of a moron, get off his dick, hes messed up tooooooooooooooo many times and there is no way in hell the american public can ever respect this mans point of view any more.

simple as that

If you would have done everything tyson did in his lifetime, how would u expect to be looked at by ur peers???

Quit defending a man that wants to eat ur fucking kids

shit, i didnt know that, thanks for proving me wrong..... i like when people prove me wrong because i learn the most from it. (i am being 100%, truthful 2) thank you for not jumping down my throat and not being a dick head, u just told me a fact, and proved ur entire point....thank u


on the other hand u cant say anything that will make me feel he is intelligent, or sane for that matter...... i guess we will just have a difference of opinions, and we will never agree on Mr. Tyson....

props Jibster
