Which superstar do you think has had a more tragic path in the spotlight, Maradona or Mike Tyson? Why?
Definitely a good two-way argument. If one has to analyse these two in terms of tragic characters, you'd certainly have to bring the essence of tragic flaws into account. And in that case, I'm going with Mike Tyson. However, that's just a snap decision by me, without thinking this through 100 per cent. So that could be subject to change.
Tyson. Nobody wants to hang out with him. He always gets into trouble. Wasted all his money, the money Don King didn't already take. Maradona? Heck no. He is living on a tropical island hanging with the leader of said island. He could go to a few other nations and get similar treatment. Heck, he has his own religion...he is God-like! I would like to use the Female Factor to decide for sure. Female Factor is the ability to get laid. Tyson: got put in jail, in his prime, for rape. FF = -3.5 (time served) Maradona: Had kids all over the world, in his prime, and could still get some trim by simply knocking on the door of some homes in Buenos Aires, no doubt. FF = 6.9
Many will speak fondly of Maradona for decades, possibly centuries. The same can't be said about Tyson, who will go down in history as a sickening human being. Maradona is pathetic. Tyson is sickening.
