    It's all turning into a bit of a circus this. People coming from everywhere to get a piece of the limelight.

    He was quite possibly the most charismatic personality of the 20th century, or certainly in America. His effect on society stretched far beyond the sport of boxing and even through multiple generations. Our lives are all a little bit richer because of him.

    I thought this pall bearer stuff was the families personal prerogative, how can Tyson force himself to be a pall bearer at the last minute? Did he throw an emotional black mailing fit or something?

    This isn't even close to being as big as when Princess Diana died, how old are you guys?

    Should be or not, it's not even in the same league.

    Especially given all the aftermath of her death including the multiple investigations etc.

    I was 23 years old and in Martha's Vineyard when that happened. It was like midnight and I can remember seeing it on TV and thinking of the shock that England would have when it woke up the next morning
