I cringed when greedy promoters paraded a battered and broken Mike Tyson into the ring for fight after fight, even though he was little more than a shell of his former self. And he had a history of biting people.Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:44:00 EDThttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1821639,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicshttp://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1821639,00.html?xid=feed-cnn-topicsThe curious combination of mental and physical battles is growing in popularity, both as a teaching tool in the U.S. and a bloody pro sport in EuropeThu, 10 Jul 2008 19:05:00 EDThttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/21/timeline.tyson/index.html#cnnSTCTexthttp://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/21/timeline.tyson/index.html#cnnSTCText1966 Mike Gerard Tyson is born.Mon, 26 May 2008 14:31:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/03/09/mannix.peter/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/chris_mannix/03/09/mannix.peter/index.htmlThe call came last week, just as I was boarding a plane to Salt Lake City.

Born with severe asthma (he takes up to seven different medications every day), Briggs was the product of a broken, busted and dysfunctional home (no one term does it justice). Raised in the poverty stricken Atlantic Towers in Brownsville, N.Y., by a drug-dependent mother who overdosed on his 25th birthday and a father who kicked him to the curb over his love for boxing and a can of peas. (He later died in prison.) To make ends meet Briggs would hustle chess games in New York City parks. "But I sucked," says Briggs. "Good days I would be up $5. Bad days I would be down $20."Sun, 03 Jun 2007 09:25:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/steve_rushin/05/11/mothers-day/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/steve_rushin/05/11/mothers-day/index.htmlThis originally ran in the May 9, 2005 issue of Sports Illustrated.Fri, 11 May 2007 20:41:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/01/30/klitschko/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/chris_mannix/01/30/klitschko/index.htmlVitali Klitschko wants to make history.

Unhappy with the WBC's mandate that he fight No. 1 contender Lennox Lewis, Bowe decided that the belt was no longer worth the leather strap it came on. So in a glorious public-relations stunt, Bowe took the belt and unceremoniously dumped it into a London trash can.Fri, 26 Jan 2007 17:29:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/SPORT/11/09/boxing.klitschko/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/SPORT/11/09/boxing.klitschko/index.htmlWorld Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has given up his fight against injury and will hang up his gloves, his agent has revealed.Wed, 09 Nov 2005 10:23:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/SPORT/03/16/boxing.klitschko/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/SPORT/03/16/boxing.klitschko/index.htmlVitali Klitschko's heavyweight title defense against Hasim Rahman is likely to be rearranged for June 18 after the champion suffered an injury in training.Wed, 16 Mar 2005 09:43:00 ESThttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/SPORT/01/23/boxing.lewis/index.htmlhttp://edition.cnn.com/2005/SPORT/01/23/boxing.lewis/index.htmlAlmost a year after he retired, former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis reportedly wants to return to the ring in November to fight Vitali Klitschko, holder of the WBC title he relinquished.Sun, 23 Jan 2005 15:43:00 ESThttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/fsb/fsb_archive/2004/12/01/8214511/index.htmhttp://money.cnn.com/magazines/fsb/fsb_archive/2004/12/01/8214511/index.htmWhen Roy Jones Jr. defended his IBF super middleweight title in 1996, he was wearing Grant boxing gloves.
