    "Tyson" The Movie

    I don't know if any of you have seen this movie with Mike Tyson, but it is a documentary on him. I really enjoyed watching this movie. I would recommend it to any boxing fan.

    Trailer if anyone cares to see it. I don't think it has been out for to long.

    I saw it, it was kind of a sad movie how he had risen to the top seemingly so ignorant of all the leeches around him and his falling was for such a long period of time....He seems to have mellowed and gained some insight, I wish him the best.

      Loved hearing Mike talk about all the **** over the years in his own words.

          yeah, I really enjoyed this movie. It was very insightful. And I completely agree, mike has calmed down greatly. I wish he would of been like this before he fought Buster. I truly believe if he would of kept up with his training, or if Cus D'amato (Cus was always able to keep Mike straight) would of never passed away, Mike would of never been defeated by buster, evander, or lennox. But this is also my personal opinion.

            He had no one to properly guide him with no agenda after Cus past. Think about how young he was, still a kid really and had not developed the life skills needed to cope with everything he had from being a famous HW champion.

              It is to bad so many people still bash Mike. It's ignorant, which is another reason I enjoyed this movie, because instead of seeing just the bad, you see the good to. Mike didn't exactly have a peachy life.

                When you consider where he came from, it is miraculous not only that he did the things he did in life but lived to be old enough to do them.
                Also a thing that stands out in my mind is his thoughts on Holyfield 2. What was Holy's head doing down there so low? He was like 3.5 inches taller than Mike.

                  I know if a boxer had their head in my face like that, I would of got upset to. Not to the point where I would of bit off their ear, but I wouldn't of been impressed. Ontop of all this, it's not like Tyson was the same fighter he use to be. He didn't use that Peek A Boo technique that Cus taught him anymore, his defense lacked (in which Tyson use to have incredible defense), and he just didn't have the same mind set that he use to have. All he could think about was the knockout.

                    That fight should have happened in 91, it is one of those fights that is a huge loss to the boxing world....it would have been great and i think that version of Mike would have stopped Holyfield....he was just the total package back then and seemed at a younger age to have his head on straighter than in early adulthood....prison really damaged him psychologically I think.
