SLick is on a distinguished road
Default actually met Tyson..

met him when he was in his prime and he was pretty cool...came over to shake hands, gave out autographs...big smile.....one of the nicer celebrities Ive met....As far as boxing goes, I feel he was always overrated. He had serious punching power but when you a world class boxer in front of him, he had serious problems...His people had him avoid guys like Lennox, Bowe and Holyfield because they knew he would have problems...Once he found a guy he couldnt intimidate, he was in trouble. I also feel that so many people took advantage of him that its sickening...And I would love to see him come back and think maybe he can with the heavyweight division the way it is...But the fct is, he doesnt intimidate guys anymore- guys wanna fight him...Shit, even Roy Jones wanted to fight him...
