Maybe that should be a separate thread -- "how long I had to drive to see Tyson-Spinks." For me, it was 50 minutes for 91 seconds. But, on the whole, well worth it.

Just saw "Tyson." Nothing terribly new, but a pretty interesting look at one of the great train wrecks of modern times. Interesting to hear him describe stomping Don King in the late 90s ... now that's something that should be on youtube.

Speaking of the Iron One, I'm guessing you've done a career-stage breakdown of him? If so, I haven't located it. The one in the database, in my dubious opinion, doesn't make him nearly fearsome enough at his peak, and the post-prime rating is pretty close for 2002 on, but makes him a pushover after '95.

Got a chance to download some of your late 70s/early 80s work and especially like the way you broke Dokes down, with two Prime ratings and two Post-primes.

Thanks, and keep up the great work ...
