The Best 40 Minutes Of Video On The Web: The Wait - Tyson Vs. McNeeley

 

Best Documentary Ever! I've been sitting on this thing since Tuesday because I figured I'd be tired from our party and would need a great time killer. And this fit the bill. Seriously I thought I died and went to heaven when I started watching this. From the opening "whoosh" on the Hurricane's voicemail to the final bell it's 100% pure adrenaline. I can't tell you how many times I've looked to find some of these quotes on youtube. So sit back and enjoy the ride.

1. "If you don't respect me and what I'm doing then you have a big dump in your pants"

2. This is for my grandfathers, my grandmothers, my father, my mother, Curly, my 3 brothers, last but not least Snubby!.......whoa, whoa whoa, 1 more...Last, but not least MEDFIELD!!!!

That speech is probably the greatest speech in the history of sports. Everything is perfect about it. The fact his face is so close the camera. The fact he gave a shout out to Curly and Snubby. The fact he ripped the microphone away from Jim Gray and gave a last shout out to Medfield. If Picasso was a boxer this is what his speech would have sounded like.

As a side note, I still remember a story from a buddy of mine who saw Hurricane Peter McNeeley a couple years after he got knocked out by a slice of pizza stuck in traffic on 128. It was the type of traffic where you go back and forth with the car next to you like 100 times. And every time they passed McNeeley he would start bobbing and weaving. He did it for like two hours straight. Whoooosh....
