I think he has come a long way. I don't know if he's based or not, but hearing him talk about his boxing career, the guy had spent a lot of time reflecting on it.
He was used as a machine for profit. He was a kid from the hood who could fight, and they trained him 12 hours a day to do so. I think only after his career was over he realized he is an individual and doesn't have to do what other people tell him.
Dude's got a pretty solid sense of humour. If you haven't you should watch Mike Tyson Mysteries. It's a spoof of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons but with Tyson absolutely roasting himself.
I never like Mike after he developed a taste for human flesh....
re-thinking my position...

He's also crazy rich so that helps.
