"I have been called a rapist and a recluse. I am not a recluse."
Lennox Lewis did the world a favour.

Puzzle is missing a few pieces.

hes a mentally ill lowlife that thinks he can do what ever he wants because hes physically capable of harming anyone that opposes him

Mike is not so scummy as pathetic and dangerously so. He's guy who has a problem with violence yet he has climbed back into the ring, not good, not good at all. Owing so much to the IRS is probably not only his fault but that of those who advice him. Beating up on 65 year olds just because of a fender bender proves that this guy needs a lot of psychiatry and lot less time pummeling people in the ring. I am waiting for the day he will be charged with killing someone or himself. Remember the Samoan tattoo and the things he said about a Samoan warrior suicide tradition? Does that sound to you like a man with a sound mind?

Brought boxing to a new level when he bit Holyfield's ear off.

Scummy - yes, but he has a very large streak of pathetic running through him too. I've always thought he needed professional help.

When I think of Mike Tyson a lot of choice adjectives come to mind. Scummy isn't one of them though. The man is deeply troubled and emotionally volatile, and hopelessly violent as well. I feel almost ashamed that I find him so entertaining. Everytime you turn around, he's gone and said or done something just completely insane, like threaten to stomp someone's children's testicles so they could feel HIS pain, or get himself a tattoo that coveres half his face and explain that people shouldn't make anything of it because there are billions of people out there with a tattoo on their face! He did bite Holyfield's ear in half, which is pretty antisocial behavior, but not necessarily scummy. He may just be legally retarded, in which case he's more sad than scummy.

The man is severly troubled, and I have heard some people say that the media pushes his buttons because they know they can exploit him to make a story, however he was jailed for raping a woman and also bit a man's ear off.
