It's funny, it's touching and very entertaining. He covers his life, from growing up in group homes, coming up in Boxing, becoming the youngest Heavyweight Champion of all time, to marrying Robin Givens and all that mess (the stuff with Brad Pitt and her is funny) to losing his freedom for a rape he never committed (I believe that's true) and all the people that visited him in prison and losing the Championship, his struggles with drugs/alcohol. Worth watching. It's on HBO if you have on demand.

Not at all. I think/hope it's him trying to be normal. There have to be commonalities between us all here. Right?!?

But I really & thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Its a must watch, not just worth watching.

Its about as true as a guy can probably get. Sure he's hard to understand, but its a guy that has grown up a little and realized mistakes he made in his life.

Its not easy to make stabbing people as a kid sound funny.
