Mike Tyson is a hero to us all

Mike Tyson may be an ear-biting, pigeon-loving lunatic, but he’s also an okay guy who’s settled down a bit in recent years and has been doing some good deeds. For instance, he witnessed a motorcycle crash in Vegas over the weekend and actually got out to help the victim.

From TMZ:

Ryan Chesley tells TMZ … he was on his way to Las Vegas this week when a cab cut him off on the freeway … sending him flying off his chopper.

Chesley says Tyson saw the whole thing … slammed on his brakes and stopped traffic. Chesley says Tyson — mindful the victim might be in shock — kept him calm until paramedics arrived.

Chesley — who has broken bones, muscles, ligaments, nerve damage and needs shoulder surgery — tells TMZ he’s sending Tyson a thank you note and a fruit basket.

Well, that was good of him! Most people – let alone most celebrities – wouldn’t even slow down to see what was going on, let alone stop traffic and get out to help. Just goes to show we can’t always judge books by their covers (or part of their content, I suppose?) – that was really nice of him.

  • I hope you remember those words the next time you write about Chris Brown. Mike Tyson has a history of violence against women but I’m glad you see people can change.

  • If the fact that he’s a convicted rapist isn’t enough to creep you out, please remember that he also molested one of his trainers’ daughters, a tidbit included in the special ESPN did on him years ago.
