"I'm very vulnerable, and I'm just telling you who I am and where I'm from and how this happened," Mike said at a news conference earlier today.

Mike became the youngest heavyweight champion ever in 1986 at the age of 20, but that was followed by a life of constant controversy that involved domestic violence and drug use, amongst others. And no one can forget when he bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear during a boxing match.
