Post your favourite pictures: This week, Iron Mike Tyson

Well good on you Teeto. Sometimes as a Tyson fan one is made to feel like a leper, which is nonsense.
I hope you liked the shot of him and Duran, and it's nice to know they have always had a strong mutual respect. Duran first met Mike just before the Spinks fight.

Tyson was relaxing in his hotel room on the day of the fight when one of his handlers walks in and says: "Some guy wants to fight you."
Tyson gets this mean look on his face, but then sees Duran walk in.
He jumps up and embraces Duran, who had a few words of wisdom for Mike. "Throw the right hand," said Duran, "He's open to the right hand."
Both knockdowns of course came from right hands.

 

Arka - that shot of Mike is plain amazing. Thanks. Worthy of a poster actually.

 

Maybe not, as he has far to many more demons to resolve.

 

I do indeed read them.

The Fixit/Wolverine stuff is a good comparison between Mike and a lot of his opponents, actually. Wolverine himself is a rough character, a badass. And then Fixit shows up on the scene and eclipses even tough guy Wolverine, taking none of his **** and looking like an even bigger ******* to boot.

More or less what Tyson himself did to other "tough" people in the sport.

I never would have thought of the Fixit/Tyson comparison, to be honest. But it's just about perfect. The absolutely square shoulders. The suit. The thug mentality draped in a expensive suit but still eminating that break your legs feel.
