Re “Mike Tyson Film Takes a Swing At His Old Image” by Tim Arango [May 11]:
As Mr. Tyson reinvents himself, his handlers are likely to alienate the boxing writers and historians who knew him when he was younger.
As Mr. Tyson’s assistant manager and confidant when Bill Cayton and Jim Jacobs managed him, I can say that during that time Mr. Tyson was always tested by a State Athletic Commission before each fight and was always clean. I defy anyone to come forward and say they saw Mike drunk during that period. It just didn’t happen.
