Sad story though, he was one bad mofo back in the day

I heard this was good. I just couldnt make up my mind if I should watch it or not. You feel like you already know everything there is to know about the guy.

Guess I will have to check it out sometime.

Yep, that's when he fell apart.

When he won the heavy weigh champ of the world fight he had gonarea.

There was a lot in there that I didn't know, but boy he pissed through some cash.

it's worth seeing rob if you are on the fence so to speak
When Cus D'amato was around to keep Mike's head screwed on straight he just might of been the greatest of all time.

what was really sad, that last fight, where he gave up, he said he didnt have it in his heart to fight now more.

he said he was fighting to pay bills is all. it was sad,and most assholes in the theater laughed about it.

Good film. This is how a docu should be done!

BB, thanks for the recommend. I enjoyed it.

Crazy how choked up he gets talking about Cus. Guy was a father figure to him.

Evander Holyfield. What a cheat that guy is.

Only because there was nobody else............

Most overrated boxer at the time in the history of boxing probably.

So many people say this, but I have to disagree 100%. Tyson in his prime with Cus would hold his own against any heavyweight of anytime period. In no way am I saying he is the greatest of all time but most overrated in my opinion is a very over used statement to identify Tysons career. Usually the people who think Tyson is overrated think Marciano was overrated too...... The bottom line is this you cant fault the guy for knocking out everyone who was put in front of him. Don't get me wrong when Cus died and he went with Don King everything went to shit, but prior to that Tyson was well on his way to becoming one of the greatest.

Actually knew Tyson during my days in Vegas...Used to run into him at the Sporting House and Cheetah's...He was very personable back then(early nineties) and was a pleasure to talk to...only problem was that when he was around his handlers and entourage, he was a different person...He was a bad mother back then...the drugs and partying took a toll on his life...

Tyson overrated. Knocked out a bunch of stiffs in the 1st round and everyone thought he was the greatest ever because of how quickly he knocked people out and how young he was. Once he started facing any type of fighter with a chin and some heart and the fight dragged on, Tyson could never finish. He couldn't ever go 12 rounds, he ran out of gas after 5 rounds every time.

Without a doubt he was the baddest mother fukker around at one time. He wouldn't of lasted 12 rounds because he had a different style, over aggresive. Too bad UFC wasnt around back then, then again maybe it's a good thing because i believe someone would have died in the ring with him.
