Shit! Those are the original bottles too? I bet that will gain a bit of value to the dedicated collector if you could ever be persuade to part with it.;)

This is a fantastic website for newspaper articles on Tyson as his career progressed. It's fascinating to see how the press wrote about him "in the moment":

I find the article written in '91 about the Ruddock fight especially interesting. It goes into length about how Tyson's skills had eroded, and how it was noticeable in the '89 Bruno fight. Proof that it was obvious and written about even back then in the heat of Tyson hysteria. But if you bring it up in an argument here, you are labeled a "revisionist historian". The article proves otherwise.

Make sure you set aside a good couple of hours! When I first found the site, it was already late at night, but I got hopelessly hooked and read every single year until the wee hours of the morning.:nut
