|  Mike Tyson's daughter passes away
I know this doesn't belong in a MMA forum and thought it was too big of news to just put in the Boxing forum.
Mods feel free to do what you want with it but I think it should be seen by a majority of the members to give a prayer to the family.
Anyone could think how ever they want about the person/fighter that is Mike Tyson but this pain I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Tyson's 4-year-old daughter dies after treadmill accident - Boxing - CBSSports.com

I'll tell you. I always liked Tyson, but ended up put off after the holyfield shit. It never bothered me what he said, and the eating babies stuff because it was pretty obvious he wasn't exactly a social masterpiece, but he always had as much heart (fighting heart) as anyone. I also wasn't put off about the rape because I still don't believe the story. He ended up a product of his environment, and even as bad as it got, it could have been much worse.
The guy was so badly taken advantage of it's criminal. not only Don King but all the people that pretended to be his friend to get paid.
After watching the Tyson 2009 documentary I was amazed at how much stuff I didn't know, and I've been a fan of his since well before he was champ. It's incredibly sad how this guy's life ended up. Tyson is a lot smarter than anyone gives him credit for.
Now this, it's unbelievably sad. I can imagine this guy is more broken now than he ever was.
RIP to his daughter

this poor bastard has been nothing but kicked when he's been down his entire life. he is still my favorite boxer of all time. i've wasted away countless nights watching his highlight reels on espn classic, which basically contain about 11 fights a piece and only because many of the fighter introductions and the 10 count take up the time where they could fit in 11 more first round knockouts.
he had his life paved in gold until don king entered the picture, who was such a thieving tick and leech he should be shot.
so god damn sick.

I don't feel sorry for a lot of people, but Tyson's really had a shitty life. From the time he was born, he's been in a shitty situation. He never really knew his father, his mother died when he was a teen and the best influence he's had, Cus D'Amato, died just as he was hitting stardom. He was thrust into the spotlight and was preyed upon by thieves and vultures like Don King.
Just like most people, his kids changed his life. For him to lose the most important thing in his life is a damn shame.
