If you're a Mike Tyson fan i suggest you get these books ASAP. 'The Inner Ring' by Rudy Gonzalez and 'Fire and Fear' by Jose Torres.
Both are fantastic and both show just what he had to put up with, all i'll say is Don King is a total ****ing scumbag. Here's a couple screenshots from The Inner Ring, read them...pretty funny.

Also Tyson is said to be working on his own book, that would be incredible, biggest selling book ever i imagine.

The Inner Ring.

There's the link for amazon. It's a must read for any boxing/tyson fans.
just shows all that mma shit is worthless in the street. mike laid snipes OUT cold.
Right, because the stuff Snipes is known for is so frequently used in MMA. Snipes wouldn't even accept a challenge from Joe Rogan.
So Mike laid out Snipes huh? That's pretty wild. Snipes is apparently a black belt in various forms of martial arts too, and Tyson just took him out like he was just another guy
A lot of said martial arts are overrated. Especially when faced with a power punching HW champion. Not like he was gonna break out the Brazilian Jiu Jutsu. Could have proven more useful than the Kung Fu :lol1:

I've read Fire and Fear by Jose Torres. It was pretty neat to get some insight on Tyson's teen years. It's funny how he was portrayed as this underprivileged kid but was rather spoiled by Cus D'Amato.

Biggest selling boxing book you mean? Yeah, probably. Though I'd say about as many people would have bought Ali's books if a Tyson one comes out.
For some weird reason I doubt the Snipes bit. :dunno:
