Amps yeah, tough childhood too. This doesn’t really go into his personal life too much..just covers the period in 65/66 when he was trying to get this film made. There’s some good footage of races at Oulton Park as they filmed some stuff there they were going to use.

    Just finished watching Bruno Tyson. Fantastic doc.

      Saw Bruno on Saturday on Soccer AM, always feels sorry for him, a complicated and complex man.

      alistair enjoyed that, although could have done with a bit more on the 2 of them chatting at the end

          Agreed the whole build up that ended up with about a 2 min chat. Frank even looked scared of him.

              Smallman1 Not sure I fancy watching a doc on U2’s guitarist I must say.

              It’s usually Bonio who is droning on about the rainforests.

                303abuserwatchex it today…based on what we saw there probably wasnt much else…was hardly going to be Frost/Nixon. Tyson seemed to be a little more eloquent when talking straight to camera

                  Dubman Peak Mike Tyson was the most exciting fighter I have ever seen. Would have destroyed Joshua. The Trevor Berbick/Spinks fights when he was 20/21 were just incredible. The combination speed, power, skill and brutality. He dismantled several highly rated world champions in 90 seconds. Pure box office

                      What’s that got to with the interview at the end. I thought Frank still looked scared of him after all those years have past.
                      I reckon Tyson would Still beat most of the heavyweights today.

                          alistair Would have destroyed Joshua

                          I doubt he lasts two rounds. Tyson’s power and speed hasn’t been seen since. He was like Golovkin or Canelo at their best but a fucking heavyweight. Ridiculous.

                            Dubman It hasn’t. The doc reminded me of Tyson’s unparalleled power before he let his flaws get the better of him. That’s all. Interested in what others think

                              Tyson was just a perfect fighting machine. An out and out street fighter, polished to be able to fight within the Queensbury rules. He had a lot of opponents beaten even before the first bell.

                              Peak tyson would end the careers of some of the current so called heavyweights. An absolutely shambolic division.

                              Watching Tyson fights back nowadays he was an absolute machine. Just raw power and a head and jaw like an anvil welded to his ram man neck, so even if you manged to land anything he generally walked it off and came back angrier and harder.

                                Millsy what always strikes me is his incredible hand speed for a heavy. Those lightening quick combinations
