This is the funniest line I've read in a very long time. “If France loves James Toback, Cannes, apparently, wants to take Mike Tyson behind the middle school and get him pregnant.”

After that fight, Mike fired his trainer and everyone else he started his career with. His father figures, Cus D'Amato and Jim Jacobs were dead and only these people knew how to bottle up his "incredible hulk" rage in and out of the ring. Mike's skills actually start to gradually decline much earlier and by the time he fought Holyfield he was fighting all his fights on pure rage. Holyfield knew how to fight back and Mike could no longer control his rage. I just hope the film shows truthfully what a tragic hero he is and that his biggest loss was against himself.

Hearing Toback calling Tyson bigger and better than Ali, even made Tyson look embarrased at the press conference. Then the supposed anylyst of Tysons career goes on to cry about Evander Holyfield fighting with his head and noting "Not mentally". As if he never committed af foul himself in the ring. Holyfield exposed and demoralized Tyson at his owm game, the bullying. Taking that away from Holyfield was just underlining the nature of the film.
