    "The Last Great Fight" is about the Buster Douglas fight and how one fight changed both of their lives forever.

    It saddens me how Tyson's career was handled. He could have been a super legend. Instead people turned him into a side show freak, clouding his mind and not allowing him to see str8.

    Fcuk Don King...
    yeah when you think about it, tyson had the skills to be top 10 of all time. if he hadn't declined and did his thing in the 90's and got those names on his resume it wouldn't be questionable. lennox lewis retired with i think 15 hw title defenses. larry holmes with about 20. louis with 25. tyson had 10 hw title defenses by the time he was 24.

        Tyson, because Pac made DLH quit on the stool, when Tyson made somebody run out the ring in fear and push his trainer out the way. LOL

          This is a fair question. They're both very exciting, but no other fighter captured the attention of fans quite like Tyson did. The man was incredible to watch.

            Tyson if you want to see someone get his head taken off in the first 3 rounds... Pacquiao if you want to see an aggressive hearty fight with unexpected results.. I chose the former, but would rather spend my money on the latter.

              You can't really just blame King. Cus should have set Tyson's ass straight every time he ****ed up but didn't. He always got special treatment in the gym and that's why he felt he could get away with anything. The seeds of Tyson's demise where planted long before King. It's a shame cus I really like Tyson & like you say he could have been great but he's a child in a grown man's body with some serious mental instability problems.

                Tyson just explodes on people and gets them outta there as soon as possible. The Trever Berbick KO was the worst.

                Pacquiao beat you up and then Knocks you out.

                Tyson vs. Berbick and Pacquiao vs. Diaz

                  I suppose you're right. But Cus did care about Tyson. Don King got to Tyson when he was most vulnerable and lost. He manipulated Iron Mike to make copious amounts of cash; not for Tyson or his camp, but for the DON himself.

                  The drama with Teddy Atlas was crazy. He actually pulled a gun on Tyson and threatened him and *****.

                  The unfortunate side is that Tyson is very sensitive. Ya gotta be careful with people like that, especially when they can generate a lot of cash.

                  Fcuk it. Iron Mike is still on my list. His boxing skills were really really good.

                  I just don't know what he was thinking when he put that tattoo on his face.

                    Love Manny and all, but no fighter has ever grasped my attention like the mid to late 80's Tyson. RJJ was up there in his prime, but Tyson was just on a whole other level back then.
