Mike Tyson Video: Watch Iron Mike Impersonate Herman Cain

Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has long been known for his crazy antics. The same can be said for Herman Cain, who is a leading Republican candidate for next year's presidential race.

With that in mind, FunnyOrDie.com seems to have hit yet another home run in letting the eccentric, retired boxer play Cain in one of its signature comedy skits. While the bit was obviously meant to make jest of Cain, it may actually help his waning poll numbers.

"Iron" Mike did an excellent job in this instance and has become a bit of a niche actor in recent years with appearances in both Hangover movies. Tyson still has an aura of craziness, but he has really turned his life around when compared to his legal and bankruptcy issues earlier in the decade.

Noticeably absent in the video was Tyson's trademark eye tattoo. That was presumably done digitally or with heavy makeup. While it definitely helped in the presentation of Cain, the presidential candidate may want to consider getting a little ink of his own.

Cain was a hot prospect just a few months ago, but interest is already plummeting. Cain needs to make a statement that says that he is the right man to lead the United States of America back to prominence, and there is no better symbol of that than a tattoo that encompasses an entire side of his face.

Failing that, the Republican party may just want to install Tyson himself as a candidate. No current candidate has taken a stranglehold on a possible nomination yet, but the Republicans would have a puncher's chance with "Iron" Mike in the picture.

He would stand a pretty good chance against President Obama in a presidential boxing match, too. That isn't merely because of Tyson's boxing background, but also due to the fact that he could really feast on the president's ample ears, just ask Evander Holyfield.
