I remember most of those fights..... and Tyson was an amazing fighter......but more shocking is that Mike Tyson is 47....which means I'm....well... older

Tyson was actually in a youth prison near where I use to live...I believe it is where it all got its start....but I could be wrong about that

Yeah, always wondered what could have been if Tyson stayed with Cayton/Jacobs/Atlas/Rooney and avoided King's/Givens' hooks

speed + fury + power
