Holy crap was that interesting. I got home from work & had no intention of watching tv for an hour, just turned it on for noise. No shite, once I got into it I stood for 45 min & didn't even notice. Sorry if already discussed, but if you haven't seen it, check it out. It's basically Mike on stage solo talking about his crazy life.

Did he talk about how he use to help Old ladies by carrying their grocery bags back to their apt And then punching their teeth in And then robbing them when he was 12?

If any of his other documentaries are any indication, yeah he probably talks about that. He's mentioned that he made a living off of robbing people in his youth. He openly acknolwedges the kind of person he's been for most of his life.

During his career as an international junior boxer then from 85-90 he was the most unstoppable boxer of all time.

Punch people and they'd just go cold. Happened so many times against tough opponents its hard to fathom.

In his prime, I don't think there was ever a more dangerous fighter.....if dAmato hadn't died and he kept his head straight, I don't think there would be a debate of who was greatest fighter ever. he seems to found peace with himself and his life.....he fully admits and talks about being a thug.

I've seen both in their prime. Lewis was really good but Tysons was absolutely brutal. Lewis would have tried to box and Tysons would have head shot him til he soon the canvas.

Those guys were very dangerous in the ring, they threw pouches with power and speed and could overwhelm you. And yes Joe Louis had a mean right hand.

But people believed Tyson was going to kill someone in the ring. I mean he could knock you out by just barely connecting. When he did connect fully people would cringe.
