9. Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson is one of those people that no one wants to get in an argument with. He is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, so if he hits you, there’s a good chance that you are being sent to the hospital.
Of course, his anger problems are legendary. Let’s not forget that he was actually convicted of rape and served jail time for it. But before and after the conviction, he has had problems. Sure, he assaulted a lot of people in the ring, because that’s his job, but he also assaulted a lot of people outside of the ring, including legendary boxing promoter Don King.
We all remember after prison when he said at a press conference that he was taking prescription medication. And when asked why he needed them, he answered that it’s “to stop me from killing y’all.” If that’s not a sure sign that he has problems, we don’t know what is.
Tyson has definitely gone through a lot. He grew up in the streets and had a tough time as a kid, getting involved in criminal activity. Tyson’s rap sheet is huge.
He was arrested in 1987 for hitting a parking lot attendant. In 1988, he got into a street brawl in Harlem and left with a broken right hand.
In the same year he had a fight with his wife and through some furniture out of the window. He when hit yet another parking attendant in 1989.
Once he was convicted of rape in 1992, it did not stop. While in prison, he assaulted a prison guard. He’s had many more run-ins with the law, approximately 15 since 1992. Thankfully it seems that he has finally found some peace, and is even appearing in movies these days and poking fun of himself a bit.
