My boyfriend pointed this out to me.

An hour after absorbing the worst beating of his career, Mike Tyson was sitting in his Memphis locker room, holding his baby daughter, his face swollen and chafed after eight brutal rounds with heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis. When ESPN's Jeremy Schaap asked him what the future held, Tyson smiled.

"I don't know, man," he said. "I guess I'm gonna fade into Bolivian."


Mike Tyson, on his way to "Bolivian."

Following the Lewis fight, he reeled off two good ones -- the "Bolivian" comment and the phrase, "I take my hand off to him," although neither compared to the time he called a referee's decision "ludacrisp."

damn, tyson comes up with some classic lines...fade into bolivian, i like that even more than "this is ludacwisp!"

Hey, chico!

Yeah, but before that ass-beat-down, he wanted to
"eat his children..." and followed that
"ludicrisp" statement with this...Praise be to ALLAH



Pray for Mike...it's only a matter of time.

I cannot believe that man had the nerve to procreate. I hope his daughter is safe.

Check these out!


Tyson quotes run gamut from bizarre to more bizarre

ESPN.com


"I want to rip out his heart and feed it to him (Lennox Lewis). I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children." -- Tyson after beating Lou Savarese in June, 2000.

"I'm on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y'all." Tyson to reporters during a news conference to promote his Oct. 20, 2000 fight against Andrew Golota in Auburn Hills, Mich.

"I'm not Mother Teresa. But I'm also not Charles Manson." -- Tyson to the Nevada Boxing Commission as he asked for his license back.

"I have no man to blame but myself. Other people contributed to it, but I have to carry the weight of a fool by myself." -- Tyson prior to 1999 fight with Ollin Norris, commenting on whether he should have been sent to jail for 3½-months for assaulting two motorists after a fender-bender.

"(He) called me a 'rapist' and a 'recluse'. I'm not a recluse." -- Tyson on a column by then-New York Post writer Wallace Matthews

"At times, I come across as crude or crass. That irritates you when I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot at times. But I like to be that person. I like to show you all that person because that's who you come to see." -- Tyson to reporters in Hawaii as he prepared for their first fight in 2002

"I offend people. I ask this lady (a CNN reporter) a lewd question because I'm in a lot of pain. I have some pain I'm gonna have for the rest of my life. So every now and then I kick your (expletive) ass and stomp on you and ... inflict some of the pain on you because you deserve to feel the pain that I feel. I wish that you guys had children so I could kick them in the (expletive) head or stomp on their testicles so you could feel my pain because that's the pain I have waking up every day." -- Tyson at the same Hawaii meeting with the media

"I'm the most irresponsible person in the world. The reason I'm like that is because, at 21, you all gave me $50 (million) or $100 million, and I didn't know what to do. I'm from the ghetto. I don't know how to act. One day I'm in a dope house robbing somebody. The next thing I know, 'You're the heavyweight champion of the world.' ... Who am I? What am I? I don't even know who I am. I'm just a dumb child. I'm being abused. I'm being robbed by lawyers. I think I have more money than I do. I'm just a dumb pugnacious fool. I'm just a fool who thinks I'm someone. And you tell me I should be responsible?" -- Tyson, again in Hawaii

"Anyone with a grain of sense would know that if I punched my wife I would rip her head off. It's all lies. I have never laid a finger on her." -- Tyson on allegations he hit his wife

"I felt Holyfield was using his head illegally. I told the referee I wasn't getting any help, so I went back to the streets. I cannot defend it, but it happened." -- Tyson commenting on why he bit the ear of Evander Holyfield during their 1998 title fight in Las Vegas
