I know there are people that will hate on Tyson, but I will always be a fan of his. Theres no denying the fact that he was, and still may be, the baddest fucking ever heavyweight. Now before you string me up, bear in mind I LOVE Muhammad Ali..have since I was a kid, but pound for pound, Tyson was better IMO. Hell, Tyson won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 of them in the first round...thats pretty damn impressive given where he came from...
At no time was Ali as ferocious in the ring as Mike was...granted, Ali had to fight 12 and 15 rounders back in the day, but ask yourself, which would you rather fight, Ali in 12 or Tyson in 5? Me, I`m getting in that long ass line behind Ali...atleast when he wins you can still have higher functions...Tyson beat people into mild retardation...
I truly think had Cus D'Amato lived another 5 years and kept Don Kings claws away that Iron Mike would have never lost his shit, and ultimately his belt. Don King is, has been and will always be a cancerous growth on any fighter he latches onto. Add him to someone like Tyson and its no wonder Tyson fell apart...
BTW, its worth watching this if for no other reason than getting to see the 13 count of Buster Douglas when Mike dropped him in the 8th in their fight...sure as fuck looks like a very slow start to the count to me...
