Looking at the clips it looks brilliant meeting Ali, Holyfield, Jack Johnsons grand neice and briggs.

Yea ive watched it but stopped after the first episode because anything that has to do with tyson bores me now. I think this dude is truly messed up in the head and he's the type I would never trust.
He always talking about how he changed and turned his life around but then out of the blue he confesses to have been using drugs and booze on the down low.. I mean its always the same story with tyson. Fuckin tired of this guy..
Him and his sob stories are played out now and it's probably exaggerated for sympathy.. I dont think anybody in boxing has been given more chances than him yet he blew it everytime..
I have no love for tyson.. I dont feel sorry for him or nothing.
Briggs only has a cameo, but the Ali visit is touching. Tyson even says he doesn't feel sorry for Ali because of the great life he lived.Quote:

The first episode came on here this week. I will record them all. He is a messed up individual but glad to see him doing well.
I have watched 2 further episodes the Holyfield one where they are friends. Evander is selling a sauce and Tyson watched Holyfield's son box and was more passionate that Evander was during the fight.
The other episode was interesting because his current wife was incarcerated when she was having their daughter. Tyson said that he would stand by her and be a family man.
Watched the 4th episode about Tyson visiting Catskill and reminiscing when he visited the gym that he trained at. The punch bag had the numbers on it.
He also went to Miami where there was a trainer helping boxers become better people and helping all ages. Guzman and Briggs were there.

Seemed a little "convenient" he just runs into Bobby Stewart outside the gym, but it was cool seein those two reunite.
He has been standing there for years in the hope that Tyson would come, you unromantic man. ;)Quote:

Reminds me of a great King of the Hill episode.
Bill: "Gilbert how long have you been sitting there?"
Gilbert: "For thirty-five yeaaaarrrrsss..."
Rooney was also waiting but was too drunk to get out of bed.Quote:

So was Atlas, but he had a sudden back spasm attack that left him debilitated.
Didn't Atlas make up with Tyson on ESPN ?
Yes they did.Quote:

Yes that's one of the two I saw. Dana White is a kiss ass to Tyson, but has done right by him by hooking him up with cage side seats and lots of TV exposure and respect.Quote:

Tyson was moved by the picture of a young Ali and an old Louis. Rare photo never seen it before.Quote:
