He could have been great, another rages to stardom story in boxing but his dark side controlled his life. I like to think he didn't have meaningful role model. Surely, those who control boxing could have done better with Tyson and in the long run did better for themselves. Tyson missed the boat..and that's sad.

Martina Navratilova is hating on Maria Sharapova
I pretty much agree with Martina's assessment of Maria's year-to-date court preformance, and Martina is as asute in analizing another's tennis ability, I believe, as she was dominate in her day on the tennis court. You know, if you took the big service away from a male opponent, and have a one-ball serve requirement implimented, Martina would probably have held her own against ATP players in her day and would have walked away with many victories against players ranked in the top 50. That's saying a lot for her ability against much stronger male players. She had total dedication to her sport and her physical conditioning. And no, I'm not one of the "weaker" sex and I do have shelves full of tennis trophies.
