Don King, on Mike Tyson


"Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter?
He went to prison, not to Princeton."



"To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music
and the dancers hit each other."

Roy Jones Jr. to fight at cruiserweight in June in Poland - ESPN

 Who can explain what motivates Roy Jones, Jr. who left boxing to play basketball when he was in his prime and dominating the game. WHY?  Now he is 43 years old and very beatable by lesser fighters than he was as a young fighter. Why risk the chances of permanent injuries to his brain.  Why destroy a brilliant legacy by turning into a trial horse for younger fighters to build their records?
