I have to admit I went into this article expecting nothing. But I was really surprised to hear Iron Mike accept the person he is, almost poignantly.

Really interesting insight on how he transformed himself into the boxing monster he became. He was so transfixed in boxing, that boxing became his life, and it really seems like the line between boxer and civilian was blurred.

Tyson has an amazing story. The events that shaped him as an athlete destroyed him as a person. The fact that he can accept himself now is most likely due to a ton of therapy work. I think anyone that struggled with bullying and fighting can relate on some level--I know I can. Greater than that is the ability to empathize with him as a human being that went through some shit.
