    Great documentary - all Mike answering questions - very eye-opening and informative. Definitely another side to the media depiction of the Iron Mike.

    Love him, or hate him, "Mike Tyson" has been an intriguing, dynamic persona! This documentary, "TYSON" provides a decent, clear Real Life inspection and introspectiion of the enigma, of the child that was forced to become a Man, eventually a devestating professional Pugilist, and ultimately a two-time Title unifying Heavy Weight Champion. We get to take an indepth ride on the roller-coaster of his Life, loves, losts, regrets, and for some, inspirations from his direct standpoint. Like many, I walked away with insight, and a better perspective of who he is, and how he struggled and fought against the inner and outer demons that tormented him, and how with an ultra-positive Power of Positive Thinking and Believing; he overcame one obstacle after another to reach a level of self acceptance, and hopefully, satisfaction. Without a doubt, a combatant, gladiator in the mold of "Jack Johnson", who evidently had more control over his life than many in the media gave him credit for... GBJ
