Mike Tyson Regrets Not Smoking Pot With Tupac

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 7th 2010 04:15PM

Back in the day, Mike Tyson and Tupac Shakur were good friends, but there was one thing they never did together that Tyson regrets to this day -- they never got stoned.

"He always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did," Tyson told AP in a phone interview. "That's my biggest regret."

Tyson opened up about his relationship with Tupac as a build-up to ESPN's documentary called 'One Night in Vegas: Tyson & Tupac,' detailing the man behind the legend and apparently his smoking habits as well.

Tyson explained that he always declined because he was afraid of the extra media attention if word got out.

Tupac was shot the night of Tyson's fight on Sept. 7, 1996 in Las Vegas, and died six days later. He was only 25.

"He didn't last long, but the time he did last, every minute, every tenth of a moment was explosive," Tyson added in the interview.

The documentary airs Tuesday on ESPN (8 p.m. EDT).

I would think blowing 300 million would be his biggest regret but I then again maybe smoking weed with a good friend is underrated.

Me too mike..also cheech marin and tommy chong

By Jim Fedullo

he is mindless enough w/o making it any worse. MICHAEL SPINKS HAD THE EXACT TECHNIQUE TO TAKE OUT TYSON , HIT & SIDE STEP TYSON, HE ALWAYS KEPT HIS HEAD DOWN , NEVER GIVE HIM A STANCE TO FIRE OFF FROM, INSTEAD HE TOOK THE 3 MIL AND TOOK A DIVE. mICHAEL WAS A GREAT BOXER AND COULD HAVE LEFT AN EXCELLENT LEGACY BEHIND HIM BUT HE GAVE UP & QUIT.

Michael Spinks had the tools to beat tyson but his balls dried up when he saw mike across the ring.

why is this a story?....WTF?

By Brian

Really. What an idiot he really is.

By jgserge

The headline says it all about Mike Tyson. Of all the things he has done in his life, this is the one he regrets.

By Linda

Out of all the things he has done he should have regrets about, he chooses that one. That should explain it all.

By Dee

Tyson= mental midget

By John

WTF...Tyson is officially shot out! He must not be taking his meds.

By BKChick

I agree John...the chemistry alone...weed....alcohol...men who mysogonistically degrade women = BAD NEWS! Pac was a brilliant actor, but when it came to rap/women, it was always trouble. The both of them did not know how to leave the "streets" and trouble alone. Sad...but true. I am glad the two of them didn't mix. That would be like Clorox and Ammonia.

i would think mike tyson would have a lot more regrets than smoking a joint. he never should have left the catskill group that loved him to go with don king who couldn't care less about tyson but only wanted his promoters fee

michael spinks was lucky he didn't get killed when he fought tyson

By lipanconjuring

I regret not smoking pot before I read this horrible article.

By Larry

Tupac had true talent and so does Mike.
Diamonds in the rough
And Mike can act a bit so give him ths chance and he may just turn out to be a super cool and respectable dude.
I like them both

By CHRIS

He is not a GOOD ROLE MODEL for the young boxing fans.Hec should think before he talks.Smoking is bad peroid.
