He was Godzilla and she was Lady MacBeth, and together they were a match made in hell. Mike Tyson wanted a trophy wife, a dame with looks and class. For her part, all Robin Givens wanted was everything – the money, the fame, and did we mention the money? She brought her mother on their first date, and from that point on the two of them went about fleecing The Baddest Man on the Planet for all he was worth, which was then the kind of fortune that affords a man all the cars he can drive and all the pet tigers he can feed. Whatever might have been said to Barbara Walters, in the final analysis of this showdown between Beauty and Beast, the Beast caught himself the beating of a lifetime. In retrospect, Tyson vs. Givens was a mismatch from the opening bell, and it led to the most lopsided loss of Iron Mike’s career.
