This is a stunning collection of Mike Tyson's early career. It is easy to forget how awesome Mike Tyson was in his prime. Witness the stunning hand and foot speed, the balance, the coordination, the lateral movement, and perhaps the most lethal finishing in heavyweight history that prompted people to speculate how Tyson would have fared against the heavyweight greats such as Ali, Marciano, Louis, Johnson etc. He really was that good. This collection is from the ESPN classic series and the fights included are complete with minimal editing, including pre-fight analysis, corner instructions (interesting to see Kevin Rooney's importance), post fight interviews and interviews with the Tyson entourage - its pretty much full of what one wants to see from Tyson DVD. The set includes four DVD's with over 5 hours of footage including Tyson's first 25 professional fights, 'behind-the-scenes' clips (many I had not seen before), insights from George Foreman and Lennox Lewis and interviews with the Tyson himself. I cant recommend this set highly enough. Tyson fans will love it, boxing fans will love it, and even non fight fans will marvel at a prime Mike Tyson in action. Superb!
