mike tyson in his prime is the greatest boxer of all time. but hes not in his prime anymore. his fight against mayweather proved that. this will be a sobering moment for lots of gen x out there. dont meet your heroes is one saying. but lately, i think a more pertinent saying is: dont watch your heroes grow old. everyone loses it eventually, and its better to remember people for what they were at their peak than to try and live in the past. to put it into perspective: ice cube and snoop dogg were still gangsta rappers when mike tyson was a prime boxer. they stopped that gig a long time ago for the same reason.
