Tyson replied by saying, “A little bit of both. Pretty scared, and by being scared, I’m doing something bad to this guy, and his family is not going to like. And that would be really guilty. It will really feel bad at the end.”

Such is the generous hypocrisy of the ‘Baddest Man on the Earth’ that even if he threatened to kill, how benevolent he was, for he showed compassion for those he would puncture. Well, not only crying but according to reports, before his fights, Tyson would also ask for six! “One of the greatest secrets with Mike was that he needed to have s*x in the dressing room before fights.”
