      The strong are always sought after

      The only thing that disgusts me in this film is that tyson violated a Chinese grocery store! There are many movies about boxing, and I have to say that there are too many physical and spiritual challenges behind the scenes of the boxing competition! There is no doubt that the Americans have taken it to the fullest, just like basketball! This is the most proud battle in black society! From another angle, it can be seen that the arena is Vanity Fair, and the strong are always sought after. This...

      Talking about the lifeless depression in the boxing world today.

      The social status and social rights of black Americans have all been improved. They are no longer a race that has no way out except boxing. They have far more choices and opportunities in American society than before. Boxing itself is dangerous. Professionals with extremely high coefficients and unstable incomes can be very rich and poor. For example, in the United States, NBA players are guaranteed salary. For example, a player only needs to sign a contract and does not violate the contract in...

      Tyson Review

      A real man must watch this picture in order to really gain all the positives from this. Mike Tyson, a beast, a man I can never be in my fantasy. The greatest fighter ever lived since I heard his name from my father watching on TV when I was very little, swing his fist in air haha. After I watch this, I have a new found of this guy. He might looks like a monster, yet he has a good heart inside. Sure he is not that kind of person with enough educated, sure he is not the nicest person in the...

      The hero's twilight years, sigh!

      It is not a good thing to be a young man, and the exhaustion of Jiang Lang's talent is the most helpless tragedy in life! But anyway, Tyson is a hero!

      Struggle to pull the mountain out of the world, and the time will not die! Tyson reminds me of Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, who are all heroes and invincible, and they have fallen into the world on the road to success! I remember that when I was young I used to combine Tyson, Bruce Lee and other characters as one, because...

      Tyson as a black Muslim

      First of all, Tyson seems to be a person who only knows to live according to his own wishes, but also has extreme emotions. This person, it might be interesting to hear him chat, because in the interviews in this film and in some other video materials quoted, he has been talking non-stop, very fast and with a little ambiguity in pronunciation. Although the pronunciation is not articulate, but the meaning is more articulate. This is a bit surprising, because you might think that the person's IQ...

      Two brushes. That year when I bit my ear, I saw him in the newspaper saying that Ali is always the best. He is like my father, so I will always remember Ali, and the high school with Lewis. The whole world is watching the decisive battle of the century. It is said that it is also Donkin. Promoted Tyson lost Lewis too high punches too fast and loud. It seems that heavyweight boxing no longer has this level of champion. Favorite boxer, most spectacular boxing, most inspirational training, most...

    Movie plot

    Between 1985 and 1988, Mike Tyson had already emerged in the world professional boxing arena. His managers at the time were Bill Keeton and Jim Yacobus. In those years that can be called Tyson's glory and glory, he has become the pride and darling of all Americans. There are facts as evidence: Tyson has successively become the ambassador of Pepsi, Nintendo and Kodak film; this is not enough. Even state agencies such as the New York...

    Background creation

    For "Tyson", Mike Tyson accepted more than 30 hours of interview. He hopes to see the other side behind his brilliance through this film-his true self   . He admitted that he was ruined by a woman, and he was still worried about his gonorrhea in the battle against Berbick; his only anger in the film was against the accuser who accused him of rape, saying that he would never trust anyone anymore. But when he recalled the short time with...

    Movie quotes

    • Mike Tyson: Cus would watched me for like, he didn't let me box he would just talk to me for two or three weeks about fighting and then the psychology of fighting, and what fighting was truely about. Fighting was nothing physical, it was all spiritual and he would say if you don't have the spiritual, spiritual warrior in you then you'll never be a good fighter, I don't care how big and strong you are. He explained that to me.

    • Mike Tyson: I was so scared on my first amateur fight, I wanted to, I went downstairs, I'm gonna buy... I'm going to the store in the Bronx New York, I'm going to the store to my trainer, and I went downstairs. Man I should get on this train and never come back, I wanted to get on the train and just leave I was so scared. I didn't want to fight anybody. It was just such a different dynamic fighting someone in the ring then fighting somebody on the street. I never thought I could fight somebody even after all the training. I was totally intimidated on fighting somebody in the ring. But I put myself together with the discipline learned from Cus, and I went in the ring and scored a third round knockout.

    • Mike Tyson: One day he

      [Cus]

      Mike Tyson: said "listen you have the chance to change your life, your family's life, you can be very special. Don't you want to be champion? You can be champion of the world". I didn't pay no attention. He said really, "You could be champion of the world. You could devestate the world. No man can take what you did, you got to believe it". I looked at this guy and then I started thinking, I said, this guy is really crazy, that's what I said, this guy is really crazy. "You do what I tell you to do, and if it doesn't work then, then you can leave". So I said OK bet. I did everything he told me to do and I won, I won every championship. From the amateur championship, all the championships, I'm gonna cry, so I won every championship that he told, because, he told me what to do. And I started believing in this old man. I stopped being a little thief. I use to go back to New York and rob people and come back upstate and hide out. The day I stop doing all that I changed my whole life. I said I'm gonna stick to this boxing shit. I turned my whole life over to boxing. I turned into a complete animal, I turned into a disciplinarian.
