tyson gets remnicked

I don't really care what David Remnick (who I am pretty sure I could beat in hand-to-hand combat) says, I am still frightened of Mike Tyson.

Tyson was everyone’s freak show, a grotesque and guilty entertainment at once violent, unpredictable, haunted, thrilling—but truly dangerous only to himself, to his opponent, and to those who, like Desiree Washington, the beauty queen, ended up testifying in court. People paid to see Mike Tyson, one ex-wife suggested, in the same spirit in which they went to horror movies or rode the roller coaster.
