Mike Tyson is a man of many talents, but one particular set of skills is heralded above all others by his fans — the ability to knock highly trained heavyweight fighters to the ground. With a record of 50 wins (44 by knockout) and only six losses in his career, it’s no wonder many boxing pundits consider him one of the greatest of all time. In his prime, it’s hard to argue anyone could have taken down “the baddest man on the planet.”
But such singular focus on organized violence can wear on the psyche. According to Tyson, if the beast within that his family and anyone around him could be caught up in his rage.
