rating: 2 Quotemissing some essentialsQuote
its missing his most memorable fight (with Hollyfield) and where he ended up. He was a true power house that ended in disgrace. August 18, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteMust have for any Tyson or fight fan in generalQuote
I won't go into the intricacy's of this dvd because it's pretty much self explanatory. what i will say is that it's of high quality(and length) and a great source of information about the man and his sport in general.

There is enough information from the credible presenters to keep the boxing historian entertained and to the casual fan of a good slug fest, this one is probably as good as it gets. 19+ fights!!

Lets admit it, Mike Tyson is probably as good as it gets! August 12, 2008

rating: 4 QuoteA great compilationQuote
I'm a collector of classic sporting events, so this DVD set to me is a no-brainer... 20 bucks for many of Tyson's fights through the Buster Douglas match. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because they talk over the first round of the Douglas fight. If I didn't own a recording of that fight already, I'd be pretty pissed about that one thing.

Here's the list of fights on the set:

Mike Tyson vs. Ricky Spain
Mike Tyson vs. John Alderson
Mike Tyson vs. Michael Johnson
Mike Tyson vs. Donnie Long
Mike Tyson vs. Robert Colay
Mike Tyson vs. Sterling Benjamin
Mike Tyson vs. Richardson
Mike Tyson vs. Sammy Scaff
Mike Tyson vs. Mike Young
Mike Tyson vs. Mike Jameson
Mike Tyson vs. Jesse Ferguson
Mike Tyson vs. Steve Zouski
Mike Tyson vs. James Tillis


Mike Tyson vs. Trevor Berbick
Mike Tyson vs. Larry Holmes
Mike Tyson vs. Michael Spinks
Mike Tyson vs. Frank Bruno
Mike Tyson vs. James "Buster" Douglas

rating: 5 QuoteOne of the best purchases I've made as of yetQuote
I've watched these two discs multiple times now. i am normally pretty cheap and don't enjoy paying $20 for a dvd when I'm only going to watch it a few times. This DVD shows all the right fights and high lights of others. it shows some full fights as well. Great commentary through out as well. I'd say if you are a boxing fan that this is a must own.

rating: 2 QuoteA DisappointmentQuote
I bought this DVD because I wanted to see Mike Tyson fight, but alas his fights are the least time consuming aspect of the. video. The majority of the video is taken up by various talking heads discussing about everything from boxing gloves to slippery canvas to ther life of the boxer's second cousin twice removed. And when the ring announcers need a rest, a panel of three know-it-alls takes over. The broadcast of the fights sometimes start a number of second late because these yammerers won't shut up. And they continue this motor-mouthing throughout the fight, most of their material having nothing to do with the fight. The mute button is the only salvation but unlike the broadcasts it is very difficult to know when a fight will be slipped in among the idiotic bellyaching of these guys whose only purpose is to sate their egos through spoiling the chance for the average, at-home boxing fan to concentrate on the fight. And for goodness sakes, if a fan can't recognize a left jab or other punch, let him/her get an article off the internet to explain it. Such articles are easy to find and very useful. I don't know where broadcasters got the notion that they had to constantly talk, barely taking a breath, so they could spoil the chance for a viewer to concentrate on the fight and its progress. (The same thing has ruined the fun of watching professional football). You would think ESPN would have cut out all this junk, done a proper introduction to the fight which should start on time and then be followed up with the announcement of the winner. In between the fights a short introduction placing the fight in perspective could be done, and then these loquacious airheads could sit quietly while the fight on and not operate separate channel in competition with the boxing, the real point of spending money on the DVD March 2, 2008
