Yeah I think losing his coach did him in. He needed an elder to funnel all that talent and energy plus giving people money who've never had it is always a bad recipe. I don't think he did the rape myself but ya can never really tell what's true in the media.
As per his own book which is great he was doing more training with the Japanese maids than anything else.
and the absolute helmet cashed out as well with a bunch of games left because he shit himself
wrong forum
I read Bobby Brown's book and he confirmed that they were up screwing around with the maids the night before, true. Bobby also said he cried and felt guilty watching the fight. They talked about it in a recent podcast.
The Ruddock fights taking a lot out of him has been said before, people forget those fights, particularly the second one just because it happened right before the rape sentence. Those were pretty solid performances against a live, gutsy opponent.
i think the pair of those fights took a lot out of both of them, they fucking battered each other, and the pair of them stood up to all the shots
I could see it, I wondered how much credit Lennox deserved for cleaning Lennox up the way he did. Ruddock took a beating, broken jaw and ribs, tough man with a big punch. Every so often someone will mention how hard a fight that was for Mike but it's mostly forgotten about. For all the talk about Mike never being the same after Douglas, he went on another mini reign of terror before prison, took out steward and Tillman with great performances and then the fight with a real challenge in Ruddock. He deserved credit for those fights.
I still don't know, depends on the evidence you look at. One thing for sure, that could happen to a lot of celebs if they aren't in control of themselves. Tyson claimed she was mad that Mike wouldn't walk her down to the car after sex and that was why she was pissed. Maybe that's what happened, you don't want to piss someone off in those situations. Mike obviously never took to the lesson, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". Either that, or maybe he really did rape her. I'll always be suspicious of that though.
if tyson merely didn't walk her down to her car, IF that is true, then he was stupid for getting himself involved with a headcase who'd accuse him of rape over that. And.., she had accused an old boyfriend of rape because "what else was I going to tell him" (words to the accused about what she should have told her father) in other words, getting involved with the wrong woman is dumb. tupac getting head on a dance floor and then getting accused by a woman he claims she was pissed because he allowed her to get raped is similar. We don't know what happened, I've gotten involved with "scum" myself and they aren't always males. And no, I've never been accused of rape, I have however been played with and tricked and shamed because of it.
You're right we weren't there but a jury had enough evidence to convict him in a criminal court of law where the burden of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt. He's also been known to make self-incriminating statements that are highly damning to his own character. Here are just a couple infamous examples. It's seriously not a good look and is quite telling.
Ya, he's said a lot of things. So, what do we do with this info? Should we just hate Mike for it forever? What exactly?
His legal conviction doesn't prove with absolute certainty that he did in fact rape Washington but the probability was found to be beyond a reasonable doubt that he did. When you examine his own comments on top of it, well, it paints a pretty clear picture. Mike served his sentence, half of it anyway, but I've never seen any compelling evidence that could exonerate him. If it did exist then he likely wouldn't have been found guilty of the crime in the first place.
Maybe.
