just wondering your age bracket and maybe that has something to do with it?

i remember watching tyson (Highlights) at his peak at about age12-15…was at the pub by the time he bit Holyfields ear off if i remember correctly…pub was full…

but its the early Tyson…was just insane to watch…

so im drawn for whatever reason…oddly enough…in the same ballpark, but i just cannot be arsed paying $400 to watch Elton John or Paul Mcartney (let alone Oasis or Pearl Jam) at a testimonial concert…

its a contradiction, i know…but im drawn to this fight…

the footage of a 16-18 year old Mike Tyson shadow boxing (its on the web and i think its in the doco) actually intimidates me…its fucking scary…the hair on the back of my neck litterally stands up when i watch it…

i think thats what gets people so enthralled with him…not his longevity or anything else he did or said…becuase he was hardly a long term peak fighter…

a bit like Ronaldinho for me…his flame burned brighter than anyone id ever seen, he took the whole industry and made it watch, as amazing as Messi and Ronaldo have been…no one captures the imagination quite like Ronaldinho…same same for Tyson

I’d like to see Tyson fight this weirdo. I’d pay.

So imagine Ronaldinho vs. IShowSpeed in a 1vs1 futsal competition on Netflix.

I fuckin hate that speed guy. All these YouTube guys are such mean muggers…everything is ramped up to 11 at all times.

Bro. You had a bite of a Chicken sandwich. Put your eyes back in your head. No sandwhich has ever been good enough to generate a response like that.

This intro is so embarrassing.

“He bridged the gap between social media and boxing, and his mum says he’s the handsomest boy.”

I’m loving the, ‘Why did I stay up for this, worst bout ever’ comments I’m reading online.

Were people expecting Rocky v Clubber Lang?

A little Stipe knocking out Jones will clear us of this deed. Out, damned spot!

Not for Zoran, though. He got to watch Tyson train.

I don’t think @IanMalcolm84 goes outside very often.

A PERFECT microcosm of “our times”, indeed.

How long would Paul have lasted against Iron Mike in his heyday?

My guess is 11 seconds. One to get knocked out, and ten for the count.
