I watched it last night... I did not realize that Tyson tried to Molest an 11 year old girl and Teddy Atlas pulled a gun in his face... crazy shite

Yeah, I missed that the first time and just watched it again. His heart problems and his incredible increase in size still make me believe he was juicing. But maybe it was just Benny Hinn filling his soul with the lord tho.

It was a good documentary. How would the fight between Tyson-Holyfield would have been if Tyson never raped the girl?

I still think Holyfield wins. Tyson's skills had diminished markedly by then without Kevin Rooney. The Tyson that was trained by Rooney would've had the best shot.

He was so obviously trying to sound like Muhammed Ali. Too bad he isn't nearly as intelligent.

Not according to Holyfield's trainer who said he was the most overrated and beatable heavyweight out there.


I missed three Tyson knockouts (one being Spinks) by drinking too much beer and going to the bathroom in the first round. He was demolishing people back then. Boxing was huge from the 70's -90's. Must watch sporting events that captivated people.

Is it pretty much consensus Mike would have beaten anyone in his prime? 


Tyson in his prime, didn't have the heart to be able to defeat every other heavyweight throughout history. If Tyson didn't drop you in the first 3 rounds you had a decent chance of beating him. Even his trainer said that when things get tough, Tyson wouldnt rise to the occasion

Are you serious? Clay was borderline retarded. Did you ever see his Army entrance scores?

Yep. Bonecrusher Smith and Tony Tucker took him the distance. Even though he won, there was a chink in the armor. :no racism

For a boxer Cassius was a genius. These are guys that get beat in the head for a living. He was definitely pretty clever with his quips. I don't care what army entrance scores that he didn't care about were. Tyson is a total mongoloid.

That may be the best boxing nickname of all time. It just rolls off the tongue.

I still have the image of Trevor Berbick stumbling across the ring before he hit the mat.

One of Mike's greatest quotes

Shouting at a heckler during a press conference, "I'll frick you till you love me, ****!!!" whilst holding his junk.

Yes, that's a direct quote
