Tyson Doc

He might be the most terrifying man on the planet. Send that man in his prime to Peshawar Province and we'd have Al Queda routed in no time.

Just rewatching his old fight footage - incredible. The best part of the film. They did something with the editing and sound - I was having physical reactions to his punches landing - and I watched some of those fights on tv live.

Tyson, as a human being, is a deranged lunatic and is an excellent case-study example of what it means to be a societal menace. That he happens to be the last great heavyweight boxer is a side issue - this man is not part of civilized society. But on a final note, I've seen old footage of Ali and Frazier and many of the boxing greats. Tyson in his prime vs. any of those dudes. Are you betting against Tyson? Not me.

If you like the Mike Tyson doc, you will love the trailer for HANGOVER.
