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

              Had a psycho edge that made his scary.

              Like the mad wan down the boozer who nobody dares speak to in case he snaps and has to be dragged off your soggy corpse

              Millsy Got blasted an watched a bunch a few weeks back. His entrance music of the single note playing over and over was so fucking cool.

              I dunno fuck all about boxing, but I would have loved to have seen Tyson vs Mayweather. For my uneducated eye Mayweather is the Allardyce of boxing. All that hiding behind the shoulder bullshit can fuck off. Reckon Mike would have eaten him if he’d ever had the nerve to get in the ring with him.

                If Mayweather fought Tyson he’d be even more illiterate than he already is.

                Floyd might be out of a head.

                  Smallman1 Would have been a nightmare at the afters Mike.

                  Can you imagine? Tyson eyeing up your bird like he’s going to rape her, while Homegrove chats about the shoot-out scene in Heat and tries to put Metallica on?

                  Absolute hard comedown/paranoia-fest.

                    All Madden is on Sky Sports tomorrow at 4:30. There won’t be a dry eye on my living room.

                      As much as I dislike the Toronto Maple Laughs, I really enjoyed watching the All Or Nothing documentary. Great behind the scenes footage!

                      Good bants in this post, underrated IMO.

                      Fairly ridiculous even by your standards Amps.

                      Mayweather was a light middleweight, Tyson a heavyweight. There’s about 20kg difference between them.
