Who's crazier: Jacko or Tyson?

Tyson, who hasn't been in the gym since Wednesday, was supposed to be on an afternoon flight to Memphis. But he told manager Shelly Finkel earlier in the day that he wasn't going to be on the plane.


Tyson's promoter and adviser told the newspaper Saturday that the bout has not been canceled. Tyson's trainer Freddie Roach said Tyson is not in shape.


"(We) had been getting along so well. Everything had been great," Roach told the Review-Journal. "Then all of a sudden, everything stopped. He got the tattoo on his face and he quit coming to the gym. Then he says he doesn't want me to do the road work with him because he's running at 2 in the morning instead of 5 in the morning."


According to the report, the former heavyweight champion's behavior turned odd last week as he started the final preparations for his first fight since he was knocked out by Lennox Lewis in June. Tyson missed at least three training days last week, and had a large tattoo put on the left side of his face during that time.


Roach said the new tattoo is an "African tribal thing'' and covers a large part of Tyson's face.


Roach said he called Tyson on Saturday and Tyson was noncommittal.


"He told me he's sick and he'll call me if he needs me,'' Roach said. "I don't have a clue.''

I dunno. Let Jacko take about 100 shots to the mellon by a heavywieght boxer and I'll reevaluate.
 
They're both different kind of crazies....

Either way...total train wreck for both of them...

it looks like he already did!

can you imagine what would happen to his face if tyson landed a right hand to jacko's nose? 😛
 
I think Jacko is freakin nuts in a sick, psychotic sort of way. He held his baby over a balcony and wears surgical masks for god sakes!

I think Tyson is crazy due to him having rocks for brains. Tyson can do more harm in his lunacy though.

Anyone notice how when both were younger, they acted A LOT more normal. I guess age and money wears on a person.
 
Tyson more unstable and actually dangerous not only to those he comes into contact with but to himself. I've read that he also suffers from a chemical imbalance that is so prevelant with those found to be Bipolar. Jackson on the other hand is extremely delusional and confused. Whether he's actually a Pedephile isn't for certain as I believe that the charge leveled against him by that 13 year old boy's Parents was just a successful attempt to extort money out of him.
 
that's a toughie, but did you guys see the Tyson's Sunday Conversation on ESPN last night? "i need therapy"

maybe Tyson can eat Jacko's kids and... well that won't do anything, but will be interesting to hear.
 
is there an "other" category? don't see how either of these two could be considered crazy. much of what they do has been blown way out of proportion by the media (though the whole ear-biting thing was extreme).

The parents wanted Jackson to pay for their child's cancer treatments. However, the parents didn't want Michael to give him any lovin' in the bedroom. :Q

 
It is unlikely Tyson is Bipolar b/c he's taking an antidepressant . . . then again if he chooses psychiatrists in the same manner as wives and advisors I wouldn't be surprised if his treatment was suboptimal. He was an undisciplined youth with unprecedented talent and if Cus had smoked/drank less; Tyson could have been the most dominant heavyweight ever. I hope he gets another fight with Lewis so he can afford a personal psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and a lot of tropical fish.

While diagnosis without examination is a no-no . . . I would agree with your assessment of Jackson being delusional. He would fill all available space for listing Axis II pathology (personality disorders). People like Jackson are difficult to help b/c they don't see the need.

At least Tyson can acknowledge he has problems, while Jackson is looking for a plastic surgeon, a lower primate, and a grade school kid without parental supervision.
