            Not a convicted rapist (that I’m aware of), but maybe don’t look into Holyfield’s political views (long established as well, nothing new), if you want to continue looking up to him as a legend.

            Not that it excuses what Tyson did obviously.

              I recently watched a documentary on him. He wasn’t perfect by any means, but I would still say he was a legendary boxer. The emphasis was on the fact that he bit anyone’s ear off, but thanks for the pedantry

            He did seem to have a rehabilitation arc.

            Quite frankly I have no problems understanding why the violent rich dude with obvious brain damage is a conservative.
