REALISM has never been a big part of Mike Tyson's life.
He was world heavyweight champion before the age of 21.
He went on to earn hundreds of millions of dollars and blew the lot.
He spent time in prison for rape, chewed part of an opponent's ear off and squandered years of his life high on alcohol and drugs.
Few things about Tyson's time on this planet have been normal.
But reality smacked him straight in the face in Dallas.
And the most damaging punch of all didn't come from internet sensation Jake Paul.
It came from the opponent no one can ever beat: Father Time.
And what a sobering sight it was to witness someone who used to beat rivals before he'd even stepped in the ring resemble a drunken bum prostituting himself for a few dollars more.
Baddest man on the planet? Saddest, more like.
