The Tyson Fascination

I am a big Tyson fan myself, with most of his fights on dvd and having read a few books, but one thing i jus cant get to grips with is why everybody remains obsessed with him years after he fought his last worthy oponent, and having lost his last two fights against boxers he should have disposed of inside 3 rounds. After all, he hasn't starred in any movies, or commentated ringside, so why at the moment, even though he is no longer amongst the best the heavyweight division has to offer atm, are people so attracted towards him??? I personally just love to watch him fight. His style, his brute force and hand speed...i could go on. What do you all think???

It's because of his personality, he is a bloody pitbull, you never know when he will snap. I keep telling everybody on this bloody form that this guy should have his own reality tvshow because he would make the network tons of money because everybody loves to see him in or out of the ring, it has nothing to do with his status in the rankings. ODH has that also but because of a golden image, Mike has it because he is the villian.
