Seriously. I challenge anyone to try watching this montage of Mike Tyson’s greatest quotes and not laugh. What’s really laughable though, is the recent rumblings of a Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield rematch later this year:

British heavyweight Danny Williams told BBC Sport last week that any Holyfield-Tyson rematch would be “a freak show”, and “an insult to everybody’s intelligence”. Another critic of a Holyfield-Tyson bout is former undisputed world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, who beat both of them. “I wouldn’t give Tyson a hope,” he said. “Evander’s obviously the better fighter but I’d rather see him do something else. Why fight the same fight again? We all know who would win.”

The last Tyson-Holyfield in 1997 ended when Tyson was disqualified for biting off part of Holyfield’s ear, not once, but twice:

Like he said himself in the first video “I’m gonna make sure you talk about me. Your grandkids and greatgrandkids are gonna know about me. I’m gonna make sure of that. You’ll never forget about me. Your greatgrandkids are gonna say ‘Wow, wasn’t that a bizarre individual?’” Why yes, yes it was.
