    I bet there are many that are suprised that the young Tyson could even read let alone read tons of books.

    Here's a great old documentary with Tyson and an unbelievably young Larry Merchant. One of the first boxing videos I saw growing up. Has some great old rare footage and great interviews with the likes of the late Beau Jack and Ike Williams. Well worth a watch.

    Depends what stage of his life he's in, alot like the rest of us, in interviews I've heard him say Joe Louis and Duran. He also was obsessed with Dempsey and ultra revananent of Ali

    He modeled his look after Dempsey, but he stated that Liston was the one guy he did not think that he could beat.
