Has there ever been a documentary or movie made about the life of Mike Tyson? I haven't seen too much pro boxing in my day, but I recently saw some interviews and fights with this guy ,and for whatever reason, I am absolutely fascinated with him. There is something genuinely disturbing about his personality and the way he talks and acts. I find him to be a compelling human being.

So what kind of films have been made about Iron Mike?

His exuberance...is perplexing.

Funny story....

This past weekend my family went to Vegas. They happen to run into Mike at a casino, my aunts walks up to him and asks for a picture, Mike calls her a fucking bleep bleep bleep slut. My uncle hears this and starts talking shit to Mike, Mike keeps ranting on, and my family (4-5 guys) start surrounding Mike like some shit was about to go down....My brother said that Mike actually squared up and was ready to start punching, but his security came over and told my family to get the fuck out of there.

My aunt concluded the melee by calling him a 'low life ear biter'.

Gotta love us Mexicans. :lol:

Man, what a motherfucker.

But to be fair, what the fuck was she thinking asking Mike Tyson for a picture? :?

I remember seeing one not too long ago. Basically it blamed all of his problems on his ex-wife

It was my drunk little uncle.....My brother pulled him away before he had a run in with Iron Mike. Mike was ready to go. I'm pretty sure he was wasted too though.

This was the most random phone call ever on Sat night....I couldn't stop laughing about it.

I just watched this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032821/

Turns out, listening to Mike Tyson talk for an hour and a half straight ... not all that interesting.

Just watched a documentary called Tyson the other night which is him talking to the camera for about 2 hours with some footage intercut throughout. it was interesting for what it was. he's very into portraying himself as a new man, all spiritual n shit. Must be working, Oprah ahd him on a while back, which is rare given he's been accused of rape among other things.

Convicted of rape, actually.

He feels that he is innocent of that crime.
