“The only thing we knew was violence in Brownsville, even with people we love.” &#; Mike Tyson
We cannot escape Mike Tyson. Never boxing&#;s patron saint but no longer its pariah, he might be the celebrity world&#;s hardiest survivor. That he&#;s defied prison, drug abuse, bankruptcy, Don King, alcoholism, a litany of scandals and even mental instability to finally emerge as a person evidently at peace with himself, might be the greatest surprise of his stormy life. To say Tyson has the resilience of a cockroach draws a crude but apt association as that same insect no doubt cohabited with Mike’s family when his mother sought refuge for her brood in abandoned buildings. These were the early days that broke his psyche, and throughout his autobiography, Undisputed Truth, Tyson connects various problems and setbacks to the Brooklyn hellscape that taught him his worthlessness. Early in his story he admits: &#;I always thought I was shit.&#;
