10. Just Say No to The Nookie
When Mike Tyson was a young, up-and-comer, he was one of the most feared heavyweight challengers the boxing world has ever boasted. At a compact 5’10”, he was quick enough to get inside on his typically larger opponents, and wreak physical havoc to devastating results.
