Which one of these pictured players would you least want to fight just based on the pictures alone?TYSON: Well listen alright, even though hes 69 I dont see him fighting, this is probably the least guy, cause I see him in action (Ray), so hes probably the least guy, these other guys, theyre just looking tough, this guys in the process of beating someone up.BD: (laughs) Yeah hes just tearing that jersey off.TYSON: (laughs) yeah, and he looks like hes beating up this guy! (Parros). Q: (laughs) Nah, just the same team, Montreal. TYSON: (laugh) yeah, same team, same team.

(skip to 8:12 for Tyson boss battle)BD: Did you know that former Ottawa Senators goalie Ray Emery had you featured on his mask?TYSON: Woah! Wow! Thats great. BD: If you were a goalie, who would you feature on your mask? (Shows picture) TYSON: Me? If I had a goalie mask. Id probably have Alexander the great. BD: Yeah I guess thats the same reasoning with Emerys, a display of strength. TYSON: See I dont look at myself with the same eyes that other people look at me with, I just dont look at it the same. Thats why I get overwhelmed that people would do something like that. You know? I just dont look at myself like that, I know my flaws, I know Im frightening kids sometimes still. But it doesnt project that way, because Im frightening to kids, I always view the image that Im not because I am. BD: And for our final question, have you ever gone BarDown?TYSON: (laughs) Whats that? BD: So if youre scoring a goal in hockey, or soccer, and have the shot bounce off the crossbar and down into the net. TYSON: Ive never done that. But I was a goalie before, and I had the pads and stuff on, and it was just so exhausting, I had to just stay on the floor, sit down on the floor, it was just so hard. It was hard to even skate. BD: (laughs) Oh yeah, it can be tough! TYSON: You know Jeremy Roenick? So one day he said something like, so you think you can beat Mike Tyson? And he said I can beat Mike Tyson on skates, but hell probably beat me off skates, and my arrogance, I said "you cant even beat me on skates!" Then I tried it, then I was like, woah, he would kick my ass on skates! He wouldve killed me, woah, ah man, I was just so exhausted after a minute. BD: (laughs) Its tough, nah it is, and you feel it afterward, as well. TYSON: Aw man, its tough, its tough.Mike Tyson will be performing his one man show, "the Undisputed Truth", Wednesday night at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
