Mike Tyson belongs to the period when there was no such thing as social media. Since his rough childhood, Tyson has learned to settle beef face to face. As someone who is a product of that time, Tyson looks down on the “Keyboard warriors”, who only know how to talk but can’t take confrontation face-to-face. There aren’t many people who would be willing to troll someone who has been bestowed with the nickname, ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’.

A couple of years ago, Tyson took to Facebook to address the trolls on social media who actively try to make fun of him. In the post, Tyson shared a picture of himself and below his photo, he wrote a caption targeting the trolls. It read, “Social media made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it”.

Tyson’s warning previously came true after he beat up an airline passenger, reportedly for throwing water on him. One such event occurred during his earlier days before he had become the youngest heavyweight champion. At the time, Tyson had beaten up Mitch ‘Blood’ Green after Green allegedly tried to fight him under the influence. Tyson had beaten Green so badly that even he got worried about Mitch.

Recently, a picture of Tyson’s social media quote was shared on Facebook. However, ironically this quote against the trolls received criticism. Fans mocked Tyson heavily in the comments.
