*Discusses Tyson's life in and out of the ring. *Includes Tyson's most colorful quotes. *Includes pictures of Tyson and important people in his life. "Everybody in boxing probably makes out well except for the fighter." - Mike Tyson A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Iron Mike Tyson was one of the most feared opponents to ever step into a boxing ring. With unbelievable power that floored or stopped all but two of his first 28 professional opponents, Tyson began an unprecedented ascent to the top of the boxing world, becoming the youngest champion in history with a second round TKO over Trevor Berbick, the last man to box and defeat Muhammad Ali. That victory, in November 1986, prompted one British sports reporter to write, "The noble and manly art of boxing can at least cease worrying about its immediate future, now it has discovered a heavyweight champion fit to stand alongside Dempsey, Tunney, Louis, Marciano and Ali." Tyson became one of the biggest names in sports during the 1980s and could literally do no wrong in the ring, compiling a 37-0 record with 33 KO/TKOs. On top of that, he was the face of the iconic Nintendo game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out , a favorite among every video gamer in Generations X and Y. It was a stunning rise for a kid who grew up poor with no father in rough neighborhoods of New York City. Taunted for his now instantly recognizable high voice and lisp, Tyson was quick to fight and a petty criminal who became orphaned upon his mother's death when he was 16. Somehow, 4 years later, he was the heavyweight champion of the world. Unfortunately, as everyone knows today, the unprecedented nature of his rise is rivaled only by his stunning fall from grace. In February 1990, Tyson was knocked out by Buster Douglas in one of boxing's greatest upsets. Though he won his next few fights, his career was derailed by his conviction for raping Desiree Washington, landing him in prison for 3 of his prime fighting years. When Tyson got out of prison, his career simply became surreal. After winning a few belts back, he lost two bouts to Evander Holyfield, infamously biting part of Holyfield's ear off out of frustration during the rematch. He had another stint in jail before the end of the '90s, and his odd comments before his loss to Lennox Lewis ensured that the man once billed as an all time great was now more of a one man circus than anything else. In 2003, near the end of a career that had netted him $300 million, Tyson declared bankruptcy, hitting rock bottom. Today Tyson is nostalgically remembered as one of boxing's great heavyweights, but that shares the pedestal with his controversial quotes and antics. American Legends: The Life of Mike Tyson looks at the life and career of Iron Mike both inside and outside of the ring, including all his famous ups and infamous downs.
Stell dir vor, wenn du zur Arbeit gehst, kommt ein Fremder in deine Wohnung. Er liest deine privatesten Dinge, sitzt auf deiner Toilette und liegt in deinem Bett. Er eignet sich dein komplettes Leben an - und du ahnst nichts. Ein Albtraum? Warte ab, bis er den zweiten Teil des Plans umsetzt Genau das erlebt Vivian Heber. Sie hat Angst den Verstand zu verlieren. Der Polizei sind die H nde gebunden, denn einen Beweis f r die Existenz dieses Fremden gibt es nicht. Nur Polizeireporter Mike Staller glaubt ihr. Dann verschwindet Vivian pl tzlich spurlos... Eigentlich haben Kommissar Bombach und Mike Staller genug mit der Suche nach einem M dchen zu tun. Die kleine Laura aus Eimsb ttel war auf dem Weg zum Spielplatz. Aber dort ist sie nie angekommen. Geht es um L segeld oder ist sie gar in den H nden eines Kindersch nders gefangen? Eine Fahndung in "KM - Das Kriminalmagazin" soll helfen, Licht in den Fall zu bringen. Doch Spuren und Zeugenaussagen bleiben diffus. Einzig ein wei er Transporter scheint eine Rolle gespielt zu haben. W hrend Bombach Verkehrskameras auswertet, um die Nadel im Heuhaufen zu finden, bittet Vivian Mike Staller um Hilfe. Sie hat in ihrer Wohnung Gegenst nde bemerkt, die ihr nicht geh ren. Ein Apfel, eine Zeitschrift, eine CD ... Wer ist der geheimnisvolle Besucher und was will er von ihr? Fragen, die Vivian Angst machen. Erst recht, weil sie als Jugendliche von zwei M nnern vergewaltigt wurde. Das Trauma sitzt tief. Und dann ist sie pl tzlich verschwunden. Da es aber keinen Beweis f r ein Verbrechen gibt, kann Kommissar Bombach offiziell nicht eingreifen. Staller und seine Kolleginnen von "KM - Das Kriminalmagazin" recherchieren auf eigene Faust und kommen einem Mann auf die Spur, dem alles, wirklich alles zuzutrauen ist. Staller-Freunde wissen, was sie erwartet: Auch im sechsten Band verbindet der Autor atemberaubende Spannung mit skurrilen Typen und witzigen Dialogen.
