Tyson: Resentment going
back to childhood
Special to Page 2

Mike Tyson was a dominating heavyweight champion. Of course, he's also a convicted rapist who once bit another fighter in the ring and has threatened to eat the children of yet another fighter.

So, what does Tyson's signature say about his menacing personality? We asked handwriting expert Bart Baggett to analyze Iron Mike's autograph and tell us what it reveals.

Here's what Baggett found:

General notes: This signature reveals an angry, aggressive and egotistical person. The strokes are very tall and indicate a person who is curious about religion and the metaphysical.

The straight up-and-down motion in the "M" indicates an impatient and fast mind.

The signature starts with an angular beginning, but becomes more rigid and drifts further below the baseline. This indicates a lot of resentment in his past -- likely extending back to childhood.
