    Perhaps it’s lottery ticket time also, Frank. :D

    Saw this. Funny but ****ed up. Mike is the typical contrarian. If the girl had said legacy means nothing he'd have said the opposite.

    I’m on the same page as you. Holmes tried to knock Ali over.

    If Larry held off, it was only very late in the piece.

    He knew however much he tried, it would be still be just him beating on a still standing Ali - not a good look, so he backed off.

    If Holmes displayed any “mercy”, I think that was the only reason for it - and again, it was very late in the fight.

    If Mike showed that much agression vs Paul he would have won the fight. He looked like he was going to Hangover that girl.

    Well, since this is a Tyson appreciation thread, we should give it up to Mike’s ass :confused: - channeling the original party boy, Jim Corbett, some 120 years plus after the fact.

    Oh, and it took me a moment to realise that it was Mike’s son interviewing him: -

    This is my favorite Mike Tyson Highlight Video. I always watch it from time to time. Watch trough the whole thing it got a chronological storyline to it.

    Glad I was able to dig it up. It got buried between all the new garbage content on YouTube.

    * Just noticed the last half is missing. Can’t find the ****ing full video.

    Although I respect the greatness Iron Mike achieved during his prime, I am not a fan of the disrespect he is showing boxing and its fans. Remember after the McBride fight he said, "His heart wasn't in it anymore, and he wasn't going to disrespect this sport by losing to these caliber of fighters?" It's one thing to box in exhibition fights or for charity; however, I feel he is tarnishing his legacy by losing to a Youtuber in a sanctioned fight.

    This isn't the most Tyson-friendly message board (especially the Classic section), but hear-hear! :ibutt

    Prime Tyson knocked out professional fighters in the time it took a stick of Fruit Stripe Gum to lose its flavor.
