What about the hundreds of other boxers who've had similar or worse childhood experiences who eventually became role models?
I've seen interviews with the filmmaker who feels Tyson is misunderstood. That's fair enough, but some people think that about Hitler. Although everyone deserves a break - As I said, I'm leery of Tyson history being rewritten in the context of a "balanced" documentary.
Although Tyson's early years as a boxer are a thrill to watch, his out of control antics are as appalling as anything I've ever seen.
In all fairness Tunenut, I haven't seen this thing, you have.
You seem to convey that my suspicions are unfounded, and this documentary is fair and unbiased?
PS - I am a boxing fan and I've seen every Tyson fight. I've also Netflixed almost all available DVD's on Tyson.
