Was it scary? by Deathpool	Jun 20th, 2009 07:10:11 PM
Cause I'd be fucking frightened.
Punch Out! by The8thSamurai	Jun 20th, 2009 07:10:54 PM
Why didn't you bring up that classic game?
Wow. Good interview. by Sal_Bando	Jun 20th, 2009 07:12:32 PM
And yeah I don't blame ya for being nervous about it, but as you noticed--he was prob. as nervous himself. He seems to get that way.

I don't know how to feel about Tyson... by Jimbo08lak	Jun 20th, 2009 07:15:28 PM
My dad told me he was really taken advantage of as a kid. I just feel bad for him I think.
All my gaming friends by BillEmic	Jun 20th, 2009 07:16:41 PM
still consider Tyson in Punch-Out!! to be one of the hardest video game "bosses" of all time. Too bad they had to change his character to that pussy Mr. Dream in later iterations.
TYSON JUST TURNED HIS BRAIN OFF! by BMacSmith	Jun 20th, 2009 07:26:06 PM
and everything was great
MIKE TYSON LOVED TRANSFORMERS by lockesbrokenleg	Jun 20th, 2009 07:33:18 PM
He said it was better than a Phil Collins song.
So, uh, about the sequel and shit... by The Dum Guy	Jun 20th, 2009 07:42:31 PM
How are they (if they do it) going to explain how they blacked out again? Maybe, they accidently smoke some weed laced with PCP...
MIKE SENSE QUINT FEAR. MIKE EAT QUINT. by HaterofCrap	Jun 20th, 2009 08:07:41 PM
the documentary is brilliant.
it's "rapport"...not "report" by Loosejerk	Jun 20th, 2009 08:07:50 PM
I bet Mike is a better transcriber than you....fool.
So what do we think of Jamie playin Mike? by damiz707	Jun 20th, 2009 08:27:23 PM
I just want them to go more realistic and pay people to get hit like in them Tony Jaa movies. I think Jamie can do an excellent job if he puts on 50 lbs.
Quint, I take it this was before the tragedy? by Cotton McKnight	Jun 20th, 2009 08:31:20 PM
I hope he is doing okay now- a tragedy like that changes everything.
Mike Tyson uses words like 'discombobulated'???? by InfiniteRegress	Jun 20th, 2009 08:39:21 PM
What. The. Fuck?
Looks like he ran his mouth by JonRD463	Jun 20th, 2009 08:43:12 PM

Iron Mike Would Have Been The Greatest Boxer Ever by MANZILLA	Jun 20th, 2009 08:58:02 PM
If it were not for Don King and Robin Givins. They really ruined him, and it seems like he is only now starting to recover...
As good as Old School? HUMmm by Cronkit	Jun 20th, 2009 09:11:10 PM

He is a rapist by TenThousandBears	Jun 20th, 2009 09:35:37 PM
Very sad about his kid, but I don't care what he has to say about anything and it revolts me to see him in this movie. Would it still be a cute cameo if it were Josef Fritzl? I do not wish the man success.
coming off of swingers? by johnnylawless2	Jun 20th, 2009 09:49:14 PM
seven years later!
jaime foxx? by Bouncy X	Jun 20th, 2009 09:54:27 PM
the guy's a good actor no doubt but no amount of working out will make him even remotely tyson's size. i know he wasnt as big either but why not just get whats his name from spawn? he already played tyson before so why not let him do it in an authorized movie.
I don't know... by wampa 1	Jun 20th, 2009 10:29:15 PM
...but it sure smells good!
Nice interview by Omar B	Jun 20th, 2009 10:41:08 PM
But how about asking a pertinent question like "How you dealing with your daughter's recent death?"
that jamie fox thing sounded like a joke by Gabbo_the_Great	Jun 20th, 2009 10:42:36 PM
he'd have to get someone much bigger. no?
the Hangover is one of the best comedies in years. by future help	Jun 20th, 2009 10:42:49 PM
and comedy is better these last few years. Hard times brings out the best in comedy. AND we are in some mighty tough times here in America. Ass blodd.

Iron Mike is the man by m_reporter	Jun 20th, 2009 10:48:34 PM
Condolences to him and his family for their loss. The Hangover is good, but Toback's Tyson is amazing! Can't wait for the Tyson biopic with Foxx, hope it gets green-lit.
PUNCH OUT! movie SECONDED by SnapT	Jun 21st, 2009 02:30:19 AM
Please make a MIKE TYSON'S PUNCH OUT! feature film, Hollywood. Thank you.
i concur Mr. Zeddemore, I concur. by Stalkeye	Jun 21st, 2009 03:13:48 AM
Both Mikes had so much potentual, but ultimitely became self parodies.But if ya ask me, molesting lil' boys far outweighs biting some dude's ear off.Ass for the rape allegations, Bullshit!the "victim" attended some black beauty pageant the following day after the so called incident. You have no idea how far an angry sista will go to if she's spurned or doesn't feel appreciated. XD
Allegation? by TenThousandBears	Jun 21st, 2009 03:48:12 AM

Mike Tyson! by The Amazing G	Jun 21st, 2009 04:28:38 AM

"hey, it's not Shakespeare" by ZombieHeathLedger	Jun 21st, 2009 05:03:54 AM
Though I'd LOVE to see Iron Mike as Hamlet, (in his squeeky voice) "To wee or not to wee, dat is the qwestion." Of course I'd never make that joke to his face because he'd bite my ear off. I feel awful for him tho about losing his daughter. No parent should have to go thru what that guy has. He was a great boxing Champion at his zenith.
Well said Castiel by MontyPigeon	Jun 21st, 2009 05:37:05 AM
After watching the documentary I come to the same conclusion. The question is "Who didn't use Tyson after Cus D'amato died?" Parasites all of them.
I am no Tyson fan but by optimus122	Jun 21st, 2009 05:53:26 AM
That girl was looking for a payday..He didn't rape her , she got mad because when they were done he basically through her out of his room and made his driver take her home..she got to thinking about money and p00f he was in jail. She went up to Mike Tysons hotel room at 2 in the morning..what did she think was going to occur there?
Good thing you didn't sent a woman to interview him by BoyNamedSue	Jun 21st, 2009 08:14:44 AM
Tyson would have asked to fornicate with her.
"Stop looking at my ear, Mike!" by JohnRyder	Jun 21st, 2009 10:41:24 AM
You should have made that joke, Quint.
Quint did he threatend to fuck you and .. by Stalkeye	Jun 21st, 2009 10:54:49 AM
..make you love him? (Anyone who has seen that press conference may know what I'm talking about.)
You should have asked him what it was like... by mraig	Jun 21st, 2009 11:26:56 AM
When he beat Super Macho Man and obtained the World Video Boxing League Title--and whether it was humiliating to then be challenged by a little guy that was like 1/3 his height and did all his training by jogging in a pink sweatsuit with a fat guy on a bike.
To understand Tyson you must watch his Doc 'Tyson' by Orionsangels	Jun 21st, 2009 01:10:53 PM

A myth about Tyson once being the greatest by romanocc	Jun 21st, 2009 01:44:38 PM
I grew up exactly when Mike Tyson was tearing up the Heavyweight division, as I followed his career when he fighting on HBO & ABC in 1986, before he was champ. Mike Tyson was a great Knockout Puncher, probably one of the greatest ever to live, and had that edge because the fighter was literally intimidated by him. Once Buster Douglas stood up to him, and exposed him with a great jab, Tyson was never the same boxer. If he couldn't knock you out, then he wasn't going to beat you on points, and taller boxers learned from Douglas and just jabbed the hell out of Tyson (Holyfield twice), frustated him, and then eventually knocked him out and exposing him as a one-punch boxer. I used to be the biggest Tyson defender in the late 80's, as I thought he would go 100-0 and be the greatest. But he turned out to be a laughing stock, and WAY overrated as a boxer, and should never be considered one of the greats. Tyson was a fraud.
Tyson by Darth Thoth	Jun 21st, 2009 06:56:39 PM
Mike is the man. Tyson was the best movie I've seen all year. Great work Quint!
IRON MIKE: SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS. by uberman	Jun 21st, 2009 11:13:48 PM
I wish you and your family peace. Dont know what else to say to someone who loses a child. O cannot imagine, so, I just want to say I want nothing but the best for the Tyson family. Peace.
Tyson has let himself go so badly... by BigTuna	Jun 21st, 2009 11:35:02 PM
In the Hangover...wow! The guys' gut was 5 feet infront of him, and he looks a decade older than his actual age. Another sad old boxer.
Mike Tyson reminds of The Hulk... by TheGhostWhoLurks	Jun 22nd, 2009 12:09:47 AM
A big, scary guy who's done some very scary things in the past (and capable of still doing them), but who seems not only nice, but quite a decent guy, if he's not being screwed with by manipulative scumbags. I actually kind of like him, feel sorry for him and hope that he continues to be surrounded by positive influences, because you REALLY wouldn't like him when he's angry... :O
You're right everybody, he is a sweetheart by TenThousandBears	Jun 22nd, 2009 01:28:46 AM
There was no rape, the jury was just insane and probably all women. And his lawyer was asleep and also drunk, so he couldn't appeal. Heh, and remember the time he assaulted those two elderly men after a minor traffic accident? Kicked that apologetic 62 year olds ASS! Iron Mike laying the hammer down! Good times man, good times.
Tyson bio mixed in with.... by Sparhawk38	Jun 22nd, 2009 08:47:20 AM
Transformers. Now THAT'S a movie I would watch. Iron Mike facing giant robots...with ears. BOOyah! Transformers sux. I haven't seen it...but you know it is true. All of that money they used to make it could have gone to lower the deficit or build a children's hospital. Nope...instead they find the most expensive way to steal a couple of hours of your life that you will never get back.
The myth about Tyson being just a puncher by Thunderbolt Ross	Jun 22nd, 2009 08:50:04 AM
MIke Tyson in his early days actually could box. After the Michael Spinks fight, he got rid of his trainer Kevin Rooney who was his connection to the guy who taught him to fight (and adopted him) Cus D'Amato.In later fights they'd occasionally have Rooney commenting with the announcers and he was always very critical that Tyson wasn't moving his head, wasn't using his jab, etc - wasn't really boxing. And that ended up costing him. Tyson was protected early on as far as opponents go, but he did win some decisions. And never really had a chance to be the greatest because his career began to go off the rails at age 21.
This reads like he has matured by RKDN	Jun 22nd, 2009 11:14:17 AM
People have to remember that we watched Tyson when he was a punk kid living the life of the King of England. Nobody ever said no to him - nobody ever told him he was wrong. We watched him as a youthful tyrant, and I dont know about you, but I wouldn't want the whole world to have a full documentation of my 20s. Im not the same person at all, anymore. "HAVING SAID THAT"((c)1996-2009 Harry Knowles), the guy just lost a child from a terrible accident. the fact that he's been able to soldier on and go on the talk tour for the movie - well, it certainly makes him stronger than me.
Wow, that interview seemed so incredibly artificial. by MMacKK	Jun 22nd, 2009 11:44:45 AM

Steroids by tailhook	Jun 22nd, 2009 02:20:05 PM
Its nice to see Mike pretty much admit to their use. More than likely this is the source of a lot of the rage from his early days and what eventually led to the ear biting incident.
hi, my name by idrinkyourmilkshake	Jun 22nd, 2009 03:59:39 PM
is tike myson. best watch out
homework by radruss001	Jun 23rd, 2009 07:46:58 AM
Nice to have done your homework before this interview. Bah!
Why no amazing sound-o-text? by ltgalloway	Jun 23rd, 2009 09:55:03 AM
Oh well, we can't have it all I guess. I'm sure people (like me) would get hung up on his voice and miss the message, so, probably for the best. Seemed like and interesting and genuine guy.
