Comments Thread For: Being: Mike Tyson a Definitive Look at the Former Champ

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If it seems like there’s been more talk about Mike Tyson in the last few years than when he was in his heyday as world heavyweight champion, that may not be completely accurate, but it’s pretty close.

Since his last fight in 2005 against Kevin McBride, the world has remained fascinated with the story of the Brooklyn-born Hall of Famer. And where the focus used to be on his harrowing childhood, his relationship with trainer Cus D’Amato, his fighting career, his **** conviction and other out of the ring issues, or his biting of Evander Holyfield, depending on the time, these days everyone is zeroing on the redemption of Mike Tyson.

And make no mistake about it, it is a compelling narrative, seeing Tyson struggle to let go of the past while trying to begin a new, more positive existence with his wife Kiki and their children. Yet while the acclaimed 2008 James Toback documentary Tyson and Iron Mike’s own one man show, Undisputed Truth, have given honest looks into the psyche of the former “Baddest Man on The Planet,” FOX Sports’ new six-part series, Being: Mike Tyson, may be the most revealing portrait of the 2013 version of Tyson yet.

Ignore a mentally sick alcoholic Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is a blight a disease on society and a sick mentally deranged rapist who still is not fit to be in public around good decent clean living Americans. Beware of this maniac.

Being Mike Tyson

Hey, James Earl... It's people like you that stunt the human race. I'm sure that if we put your life under the microscope...all the evenings you spend jerking it to child ****, covered in peanut butter.... And the fact that you're dumb enough to confirm your ******ity by writing what you do.... In all honesty, on behalf of the human race... Your mother should have killed you in the crib.
Please send me her number.

This documentary sounds cool. Never knew that Mike met Ray Robinson, would love to hear the story behind that. Also I am going to guess that those photos we saw of Tyson hanging out with Muhammad Ali a few months back are stills from this documentary. I definitely have to make sure I catch this.

Can't wait to watch his new show Sunday

This sounds like it will be a good show. Too bad that it's going to be on Fox Sports 1 though, I don't get that channel.

I think it said the first episode is on Fox and the rest will be on FOX sports, so you should be able to see episode 1 atleast. I just want to know what time on Sunday it starts, I'll definitely watch as long as it doesn't come on at the same time as breaking bad.

Yeah, the first episode I'll be able to see. But if I like it I won't be able to watch the rest.

Maybe someone will put them up on YouTube eventually.

Why glorify a convicted rapist and drug addicted alcoholic?

Why glorify a convicted rapist and drug addicted alcoholic? Mike Tyson is a scum bag nothing more. Talk about the good people in boxing not the felon rapists.
