Tyson

Drew's Thoughts:
Mike Tyson is weird. But he's a weird human being. At least that's what I got from James Toback's (Bugsy) humanizing documentary. The film, consisting mostly of Tyson's rambling, near-gibberish, retelling of his life, reveals that Tyson, while strange, has some good qualities. My image of Tyson growing up was mainly a crazy person who bit off pieces of Evander Holyfield's ears. That image still holds somewhat true but what I didn't realize is that Mike Tyson was one of the greatest boxers to ever fight. He was an immensely talented athlete, coming from a really rough childhood, who quickly clawed to the top of the world and completely self-destructed, and was never able to recover the lost ground. Tyson is an interesting entry into the Dolphin Doc race.
