Twain. Mencken. Swift. Tyson?

For me, you can't beat "I'll gently caress you til you love me, human being" just for the layers upon layers that are in that sentiment.

Honourable mention to "I want to eat his children, praise be to ALLAH"

What's YOUR favourite Mike Tysonism?

There's always the Candian talk show he went on after he met with a politician there.

His rape case was very conterversial, with evidence removed from the trial that was shown to several jurors after, all of which said "I'd have never convicted him if I had known that." You can see how that and the whole "career damaged severely and my fortune lost" thing would leave it a sore subject.

Well, the host of the live TV morning show decided to allude to it. Tyson, as you might imagine, responded in anger. You watch as Tyson drinks it in, the host feels uncomfortable and tries to change the subject to standard fare cheesy morning show stuff.

Tyson has none of it, calling him "a rat piece of poo poo" among other things, while his manager smiles calmly.

It's pretty magical.

"Mike this is live TV."

"gently caress you. What are you going to do about it?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiJ-hLWoPQk

During the height of his career, he was a joy to watch; a raving madman. Early on though, during his Olympic boxing days, he was a crying mess, weeping in fear before matches. It's a crazy change to observe.

By the way, the rest of the "I'll gently caress you til you love me, human being." press conference is hilarious too. Probably the best line uttered in all combat sports, hahaha

We also can't forget "My back was broken." "Your back was broken? How? Where?"

[pause]

"Spinal."

Mike Tyson is a sage of the age. His statement that "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." harkens back to Helmuth von Moltke the Elder's observation that “…no plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force.” or, its more popular condensed form of "No plan survives first contact with the enemy."

For the first time in my life I mentally read a quote from von Moltke in Mike Tyson's voice. Amazing.

It SERIOUSLY is.

Before Cus died, he was an actual machine, I think. boxing does something other sports are just catching on to; catching kids before or right at the start of puberty so their bodies can literally develop for the express purpose of boxing. It's big in Thailand for Muay Thai as well. They start young, knowing that what their life is going to be, is this one sport. That's what Cus did with Mike.

Just, a fast twitch Incredible Hulk, peek-a-booing around and scaring normal people in his prime.

I forget what fight it was but when I was a kid there was one of his fights and the dude he was fighting threw a combo, Mike ducked every punch by crouching like all the way down to the mat and then he just absolutely rocked the dude

it was like watching a loving mongoose on National Geographic

http://nymag.com/news/features/mike-tyson-2013-10/

my favorite thing from the excerpt was how cus had him repeating "the best fighter in the world. nobody can beat me." all the time. i actually started saying the same thing to myself after reading that and felt a nice confidence boost lol. gonna buy that book now, theres a lot to learn from mike. pretty cool guy.

All right, there are things to learn, but first of all you don't need to pay. He doesn't even get that money.

the dude is willing to play a parody of himself in a cartoon. not like once or twice as a simpsons cameo- everyone has done that by now. but doing two seasons of a show which is mostly about how amusingly weird he is? i have to respect the level of guts that takes.

it probably doesn't hurt that mike tyson mysteries is legitimately good, though.
