So, I was just watching Legendary Nights: The Tale of Tyson-Douglas on HBO. I definitely hadn’t seen that shit since around the time it happened.

I just remember being like 8 years old and knowing nothing about boxing EXCEPT Mike Tyson. He was the only boxer anyone had to know. The dood just walked into the ring and knocked everyone the fuck out.

But the real reason we will never forget Iron Mike, is because his foot is embedded in the collective ass of an entire generation of kids. Kids who will always associate Mike Tyson with Glass Joe and the repetitive interlude of a fat guy on a bike.

As we all know, Mike got his ass kicked and never recovered. Next thing you know he’s munching on ear (pretending it was children) and serving time for getting a bad tattoo.
