This Tyson is definitely a humbled man. After all, what humbles a man worse than going broke? Where he once had expansive mansions across the country with a fleet of luxury vehicles in each garage with a pet tiger or two thrown in, he now lives in a modest two-bedroom house — just him and his pigeons.<\/p>\n
So what’s that like, living like one of us?<\/p>\n
“I don’t know,” says a reflective Tyson. “That doesn’t define a man. What defines a man is someone who’s failed time after time again and still has the same enthusiasm, as a winner. And those are people who are men, people who don’t stop and don’t give up and stay persistent in their goals in life. Finance doesn’t make a man, because you have a great deal of fur coats and houses and fancy cars — I used to enjoy that life, but that doesn’t make you a man.<\/p>\n
“I could’ve accomplished that now; the only thing I have to do is just fight and I’ll be a multi-millionaire. If I fight for a year straight, then I’d have all those trinkets and toys, but I don’t think I’m that person anymore. I’m interested in raising my children and just providing for them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I think the story of Tyson losing it all, even his craziness and then heading out West is a truly American Story. Picture Tyson some where in the Arizona desert training for possibly the greatest comebacks of all time. Out of the Wilderness Came the Man.<\/p>\n
The only problem I see is if and it’s still a big if, Tyson manages to obtain the unimaginable will Lennox Lewis be all to eager to take it away?<\/p>\n
