I was shocked at the lies and fabrications Mike told in this movie. 1. He said he was always an addict – 2. He was always an alcoholic – 3. He always had demons – 4. Managers Jacobs and Cayton were “slave masters” and signed him when he was underage. – It is obvious that Mike’s new manager, Harlan Werner, is just as devious as Robin Givens, Don King and Shelly Finkel. Mike completely ignored the period 1985 -1988 when he was hired by the New York City Police Department, the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration to do PSA’s. The Police and FBI do not usually hire addicts, or those who have demons, as role models. My entire correspondence with Werner, the film’s producers, as well as documents and photos proving Mike’s huge hero status with Cayton and Jacobs may be found at this website:

Looking forward to seeing “Tyson” and the other Sundance boxing doc, “Thriller in Manila.” However, Mike Tyson is nowhere near the greatest heavyweight ever. Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Jack Dempsey, Larry Holmes (in his prime), Joe Frazier… all greater than Tyson. However, he was the last great “name” in boxing, for what that’s worth.
