My dad loved Mike Tyson and we got to meet him at an airport in NJ when I was about 11 years old and Mike was very nice to me and my dad.. he signed my sneakers, hat, shirt, and $100 bill that my dad had and I still have all of those items including a few pictures of him signing everything and my dad paid to have the shirt and $100 bill framed and the hat and sneakers are in a glass case that sit on my mantel now.. I couldn't help but carry over my father's love for Tyson because how great he was as a boxer and how great he treated me and my father.. One of the last conversations me and my father had was about Mike Tyson and how he would be looked at in the future.. my dad was ahead of his time too because he always watched Mayweather and said that he would be great.. I hate my father didn't get to see how great Mayweather became but he definitely enjoyed the Tyson Era and I enjoyed spending time with him..
By dissing Tyson in 84, Biggs accidentally gave him the motivation he needed to train even harder and show his true value to the world. Tysons discipline as far as training is concerned is nothing short of astounding. That man also applied that same level of discipline towards bettering himself as a person in his later years. His entire life has been a nonstop battle towards perfection. After his boxing career was over he began reflecting on himself and has continued to grow as a person and i find his psychological progress as impressive as his boxing achievements, possibly even more impressive. Bottom line is, Tyson gives it his all and doesnt let any form of defeat to stop him.
Well said. I read in a book about Tyson's life that when he lost in the Olympic trials, team mate of his didn't know the Mike had already lost his fight to go for the gold, and he told Mike, " good luck in your fight." And a grinning Biggs said to him, and others, " I think you meant flight ✈." So i would be ticked off myself, and which Mike never forgot.
Tyson got sloppy and more lazy after Cus died, he went onto win the championship like promised them just got sloppier. This was early in his career, absolute prime Mike Tyson was short lived. He won a lot of fights afterwards but his footwork suffered a lot, and no one noticed he got worse cause his opponents weren't tough for awhile then he fought good heavyweights and lost. I believe prime Mike Tyson, or if Cus didnt die would've been a killer but as is I dont think hes a highly motivated guy post Cus
I've watched over 5 decades of boxing. Tyson is without a doubt the most compelling, brutal, vicious, savage fighter I have ever seen. He was a true force of nature... capable of exploding at anytime. He was also sublimely talented. If he had maintained Kevin Rooney as his trainer, he would've achieved much, much more. Loved watching him.
If 1986-1988 period Tyson fought Lewis at his peak, or Holyfield at his peak, then it would have been very interesting. I’m not sure who would win to be honest.
Pretty sure you need two different things - one immovable, one unstoppable - for that to work. Mike can’t be both at the same time - that’s why that little “vs” is in the middle 😂

Once Biggs got hit he got scared you could see it all over his face and he wasn't so confident after that, totally changed after that first hit..he felt the power of Tyson.. amazing!
Think he was scared before as well. He didn't really have confidence in his abilities, he had some tough fights before Tyson against journeymen and hasbeens.
The way Mike was able to put every bit of his power into his punches is absolutely incredible. In many of his KO's if you watch his feet Tyson is leaving the ground, both feet are in the AIR as his punches LAND. That's every bit of his weight being thrown with full force connecting directly on his opponent's face, body etc. Sh!t is wild
Don King, Robin givens, Robin givens mother, and some others we have you to thank for totally ruining the heavyweight division. Tyson needed to be on a short leash with good people. It really was a shame to watch that man go downhill. I'm truly glad to watch that man get his life back. However how much great boxing did we get cheated out of because they messed with his head.

Illuminatti tip o the hat to the Baphomet. Their symbolism will be their downfall. Impressive warrior tho. Growing up in a boxing family, i understood being cruel when you impose your will. Killer instinct. My uncle was a master at that. Tyson...oo boy. Ask Spinks..
@TheShqipe98 out jabbed Ali? No chance. Ali was too quick and too clever for Liston. Even the so called "phantom punch" is utter nonsense. The punch hit clean on the temple and if you watch it in slow motion you can see the force it connected with as Listons head jolts back. Liston was a great boxer but no comparison to Ali.
I met Mike when I was a kid and I vividly remember shaking his hand. I instantly realized how heavy his hands were and how bad it would be to have this guy swinging on me. When this fight happened and I can clearly remember thinking that as soon as Mike caught Biggs once that it would be all down hill from there.
This fight shows how patient Tyson was from round 1 and on. People only remember the Buster Douglas defeat and Holyfield ear biting Mike Tyson. That Tyson was a product of Don King and others that surrounded him for money. No one remembers from 1985 to 1990 (before Don King), Tyson showed great head movement, footwork, defense and patience. At times, if he wanted to, he could be a decent counter puncher and everyone talks about Wilder being the most devastating puncher ever but, Tyson in my opinion holds that title.
I watched this fight in real time. I also watched the pre-fight press conference, and it was clear that Biggs thought insulting Tyson would somehow lend itself to a tactical advantage… IT DIDN’T! He made a comment tantamount to “Tyson’s mother not raising him right!” I’m not certain if Biggs knew, but Tyson’s mother died when he was a little kid! The look that Tyson gave Biggs after the remark was clearly, “You’re in for a long night, pal! I’m gonna PUNISH you!” During the fight, Kevin Rooney admonished Mike to put Biggs away and stop “propping him up!” Mike said (paraphrasing) “Give me one more round to beat on him, and I’ll do anything you say!” Trust me, Biggs looking decent in round one meant nothing! Tyson was simply figuring him out. Notice, from round two on, how easily Mike was cutting the ring off, and maneuvering Biggs right into position. You can’t “dance” all night and throw ineffective punches and think you’re going to win a professional boxing match!
It would be fairer to say “it’s very difficult” to dance all night without getting dragged into the kind of fight that Tyson preferred. Biggs made a great effort in that first round and he did frustrate Tyson’s efforts to land a punch. That’s what good movement and a huge reach advantage does for you. Ultimately Biggs was unable to keep Tyson from getting on the inside. But that doesn’t change the fact that he fought a perfect first round, and that didn’t happen often against Mike Tyson in those days.
I swear this is a TRUE STORY...Tyrell Biggs was the correction officer at a juvenile home in Columbus Ohio back in the early 90’s called T.I.C.O. It was max security ....He used to show us videos of his fights, and pictures of his lifestyle as a fighter. He would NEVER show us his fight against Tyson though! 🤣🤣....He was a really good dude though. He used to tape music videos for us and bring em in for us to watch, let us stay out the rooms longer than we were supposed to be out...solid brotha ! ✊🏾💯
My brother worked with Biggs at UPS years LATER. I asked....."Do people ever talk trash to him for losing his career and now loading trucks for a living?" My brother was like...."Heeeeell no. We gotta get up inside the truck with him!!!" 😂😂😂
@@alexmontejo5509 may weather is one of the best but I don't think he can ever be considered the best because of his point playing style and dodging fights throughout his career
Biggs "What's that over there?" Oh, that? That's a grizzly bear fed almost exclusively on human flesh...."Interesting, I'm gonna go poke it with a stick"
The thing I've learned about Mike Tyson in recent times was that Tyson was actual a student of the sport...I knew he was a fantastic boxer but this fact set him aside for me
@@justjuangoodcitizen4297 Even with Rooney, Tyson’s ego was starting to become an issue. Cus would of whipped him into shape and make him 100% focused instead of 70 or 80%
There's no one that can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want your heart, I want to eat his children. - Iron Mike Tyson
@Kenneth Moaratty- So did George Foreman. Just as Ali took him to school, Ali would have taken Tyson to school. There will never be another Ali. Ali was the baddest of all time.
I honestly believe the more that I watch Tyson the closer he gets in my mind to being like an actual piece of bulletproof glass people just thumped their hands on till he eventually fell and crushed them, guys hands were madness
Boy, do I miss those days. Once you knew one of your friends bought the PPV, you immediately made a call - got your pals together and threw a few bucks each to cover the cost of the fight. The pre-fight buzz was absolutely electric - such great times looking back at how much of an event this was watching all the under cards just to see Mike beat the living shit out of a can of soup in a few short rounds or less.
It was good back in those days but I think it was better back in the 70's. Ali, Frazer, Foreman. Jimmy Young, Holmes, Hagler, Sugar Ray, Hagler, Duran, Hearns and Ken Norton. I'm sure there were more.
@@scrapplepig Boxing in the 70s was the best since most bouts - the biggest fights in years - were on ABC Wide World of Sports. Free. Saturday afternoons. Before Cable TV, the greatest fights were free to watch. On top of it, we got Howard Cosell who, in my opinion, was one of the best sports personalities of the era to call the fight. I mean - ua-cam.com/video/JZEIMQ42-oU/v-deo.html

@@MerkTheVillain I know this is months old comment, but I KNOW with absolute certainty it's in MF DOOMs discography. I've checked each song in two of his albums during this very midnight and failed to find it. If you're as desperate as I am to find the name of that particular bit in one of his songs, let me know. Im pulling my hair over this lmao
Young Mike was so fast, so graceful with his footwork and head movement and at the same time his punching power was horrifying and his killer instinct was unmatched, you'll never see a heavy weight called the fastest in the division and the most powerful, it should be impossible
The thing I appreciate about Tyson that covers a lot of territory was how he would immediately go over to his victim to make sure they were alright. I doubt many of them could remember that.
The commentary said his first loss came because he met a more determined puncher. His first defeat actually came from letting Kevin Rooney go and surrounding himself with yes-men.
Lmmfao I was just about to say the same thing. Mike knocked his Ass out for using his Govt name lol. Mike from the hood, u really disrespecting in the the hood when u do that shit
Mike Tyson is a good example of how people treat others if theyre different. People put him on this pedestal as a legend but think Tyson is unintelligent because he has a lisp and is a fighter. The man was not only a legend in the ring, but he's incredibly intelligent. Especially having to go through so much hard work and dedication as a kid...
Yeah I honestly always thought that Mike wasn't too bright haha. But lately I've been watching a lot of videos about him and he's smarter than people would assume. Sometimes he would say something that's just clever/intelligent/whatever you want to call it and it makes a lot of sense. Its hard to notice at first because of the way he talks. Still he was a complete mental case when he was younger XD Absolute madlad
@@denholmholbrook2517 Mike is very well educated. He can't back it up with a degree but he's read enough books to become a really good thinker and speaker. Not to mention how his life experiences and emotional intelligence lift him to a completely different level. He's one of the most underrated philosophers we have today imo.
Glad Im old enough to have seen Tyson fight in the 80's, and dominate. Heck, I saw Van Halen in the 80's, Metallica in the 80's, and I saw Star Wars as a new release in 1977. Sometimes being older is good.

I warmth mike tyson everyday for motivation
Biggs: "He was made for me, like TY - SON"
Iron Mike: *so you have chosen death*
Peace to the brotha but thats IRON MIKE. THE CHAMP.
Also Biggs: [Woman gestures]
When Biggs made fun of his height, that’s when it became personal for Tyson. That was always Tyson’s insecurity and that was a low blow.
Also Mike: so I see you don’t like being conscious
Tyson is really a tin man and over rated he have the glory that belongs to holyfield
that shot of tyson's eye is so intimidating.
A predator fixated on his prey..
Illuminatti tip o the hat to the Baphomet. Their symbolism will be their downfall. Impressive warrior tho. Growing up in a boxing family, i understood being cruel when you impose your will. Killer instinct. My uncle was a master at that. Tyson...oo boy. Ask Spinks..
@@StrengthwFitAbel I’ve seen Sonny Liston . In person. So did my uncles in Philly . And Ali was a young kid back
@@StrengthwFitAbel Ali beat him twice lol
@TheShqipe98 out jabbed Ali? No chance. Ali was too quick and too clever for Liston.
Even the so called "phantom punch" is utter nonsense. The punch hit clean on the temple and if you watch it in slow motion you can see the force it connected with as Listons head jolts back.
Liston was a great boxer but no comparison to Ali.

I met Mike when I was a kid and I vividly remember shaking his hand. I instantly realized how heavy his hands were and how bad it would be to have this guy swinging on me. When this fight happened and I can clearly remember thinking that as soon as Mike caught Biggs once that it would be all down hill from there.
That's incredible prediction for a young kid to make..
@@cruiser6260 Not really, he just said the guy would get beat, not exactly deep
This fight shows how patient Tyson was from round 1 and on. People only remember the Buster Douglas defeat and Holyfield ear biting Mike Tyson. That Tyson was a product of Don King and others that surrounded him for money. No one remembers from 1985 to 1990 (before Don King), Tyson showed great head movement, footwork, defense and patience. At times, if he wanted to, he could be a decent counter puncher and everyone talks about Wilder being the most devastating puncher ever but, Tyson in my opinion holds that title.
Stick to drawing picture, Marry
Ernie shavers hardest heavyweight puncher
Literally EVERYONE remembers those years…
@@timprescott4634 lol I know right. F this dude taking about
@@timprescott4634 No one talks about Tyson's early years. Everyone talks about the ear biting
I watched this fight in real time. I also watched the pre-fight press conference, and it was clear that Biggs thought insulting Tyson would somehow lend itself to a tactical advantage… IT DIDN’T! He made a comment tantamount to “Tyson’s mother not raising him right!” I’m not certain if Biggs knew, but Tyson’s mother died when he was a little kid! The look that Tyson gave Biggs after the remark was clearly, “You’re in for a long night, pal! I’m gonna PUNISH you!” During the fight, Kevin Rooney admonished Mike to put Biggs away and stop “propping him up!” Mike said (paraphrasing) “Give me one more round to beat on him, and I’ll do anything you say!” Trust me, Biggs looking decent in round one meant nothing! Tyson was simply figuring him out. Notice, from round two on, how easily Mike was cutting the ring off, and maneuvering Biggs right into position. You can’t “dance” all night and throw ineffective punches and think you’re going to win a professional boxing match!
Great story. It puts the whole fight into perspective.
Excellent, terrific insight into this fight. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Thank you
Well said
Great analysis and conclusion.
It would be fairer to say “it’s very difficult” to dance all night without getting dragged into the kind of fight that Tyson preferred. Biggs made a great effort in that first round and he did frustrate Tyson’s efforts to land a punch. That’s what good movement and a huge reach advantage does for you. Ultimately Biggs was unable to keep Tyson from getting on the inside. But that doesn’t change the fact that he fought a perfect first round, and that didn’t happen often against Mike Tyson in those days.
Tyson was a powerhouse. I remember watching his fights on Pay Preview and they never lasted long.
That moment he swung and missed he know he fucked up 😂😭🤣💀💀
Mike talking about those woman noises is the greatest 🙌
Women gestures actually.

Full of shit
he was pure trolling. Joe Rogan has the story
Guhh , euhh , wouuu - Mike Tyson
I swear this is a TRUE STORY...Tyrell Biggs was the correction officer at a juvenile home in Columbus Ohio back in the early 90’s called T.I.C.O. It was max security ....He used to show us videos of his fights, and pictures of his lifestyle as a fighter. He would NEVER show us his fight against Tyson though! 🤣🤣....He was a really good dude though. He used to tape music videos for us and bring em in for us to watch, let us stay out the rooms longer than we were supposed to be out...solid brotha ! ✊🏾💯
Great story brotha💯
Seems like a nice guy I hope he is well.
Respect tyrell.. a good human being
I was afraid he was going back to crack addiction after his fight career ended. It's nice to hear otherwise.
The Greatest.. things he did is giving back to the community without even gettin in the spotlight.. ..
"He was cryin in there!" LOL Mike is hilarious
Mike is so inspirational. He's always been my favourite boxer & probably always will be
My brother worked with Biggs at UPS years LATER. I asked....."Do people ever talk trash to him for losing his career and now loading trucks for a living?" My brother was like...."Heeeeell no. We gotta get up inside the truck with him!!!" 😂😂😂
lol
Tufff 😂
Dude may have lost to Tyson, but he was still a badass.
My guy, that’s crazy… how’d he blow his dough i wonder? Those gotta be some mad stories…

That's what I always loved about Mike Tyson he talked with his fists
" he's been talking at lot, it's gunna be a slow slow night for him" 😆👌👑
The thing I've learned about Mike Tyson in recent times was that Tyson was actual a student of the sport...I knew he was a fantastic boxer but this fact set him aside for me
Yeah he’s a certified Boxing Historian!
TYSON KNOWS BOXING
if Mike had approached every fight in the way he did this one, he would've never lost a single fight.
He had a volatile personality though.
@@johnmc3862 he did, but under Cus, it seemed to be more in control. Once Cus died, he seemed to be like a ship without a rudder.

Didnt work too well against Holyfield and Lennox lewis
1:05 he's got the "too's" LoL!!
I honestly believe the more that I watch Tyson the closer he gets in my mind to being like an actual piece of bulletproof glass people just thumped their hands on till he eventually fell and crushed them, guys hands were madness
Boy, do I miss those days. Once you knew one of your friends bought the PPV, you immediately made a call - got your pals together and threw a few bucks each to cover the cost of the fight. The pre-fight buzz was absolutely electric - such great times looking back at how much of an event this was watching all the under cards just to see Mike beat the living shit out of a can of soup in a few short rounds or less.
Yes.getting friends together to wstch a tyson fight was a must. And then after go out on town with friends. But tyson fight was the pre-party.
Good ole days. Last time I chipped in for a fight was Shane Moseley vs Mayweather. That fight proved to me boxing matches were fixed.
Ah yes this season was the cause for breakups and divorce. Strange times
It was good back in those days but I think it was better back in the 70's. Ali, Frazer, Foreman. Jimmy Young, Holmes, Hagler, Sugar Ray, Hagler, Duran, Hearns and Ken Norton. I'm sure there were more.
@@scrapplepig Boxing in the 70s was the best since most bouts - the biggest fights in years - were on ABC Wide World of Sports. Free. Saturday afternoons. Before Cable TV, the greatest fights were free to watch. On top of it, we got Howard Cosell who, in my opinion, was one of the best sports personalities of the era to call the fight.

Nothing possibly had prepared me for the beginning of this video 😂😂😂

Not many people would see that right coming!
“I’m going to shock the world” that damn curse
I lost it when Tyson went "he was crying in there, he was making woman gestures like ouah uh uhh" 🤣
"Mike Tyson is in a fighting mood"
That's some serious understatement
I played Mike Tyson’s Punchout when I was a kid, I thought I could embarrass Mike too but it never happened.
"it's gonna be a slow night for him" hahahahaha 🤣♥️💪

Gotta appreciate our legends while they're still here. Tyson is definitely one of them.
9:05 if he didn’t use that cursed “I’m going to shock the world” then he may have stood a chance
Young Mike was so fast, so graceful with his footwork and head movement and at the same time his punching power was horrifying and his killer instinct was unmatched, you'll never see a heavy weight called the fastest in the division and the most powerful, it should be impossible
The thing I appreciate about Tyson that covers a lot of territory was how he would immediately go over to his victim to make sure they were alright. I doubt many of them could remember that.
Iron Mike had a heart of gold!
He probably worried constantly about catching a murder charge in the ring
@@bigtiptzybirdyunouno9375 nigga what?!?
'Hey, I found your brain out in the second row. Do you want it back or...'
You know he said himself that he would do that to embarrass them
Your videos are the best. seriously. Great job
The commentary said his first loss came because he met a more determined puncher. His first defeat actually came from letting Kevin Rooney go and surrounding himself with yes-men.
He called him “Michael Tyson” 😂😂
thats his real name
@Sith Jawa So
@Sith Jawa ok
😂😂 @Michael Tyson" that 💩 was funny as hell to me too bro it's actually the 1st time I've ever seen/heard someone acknowledge him is that LOL
Lmmfao I was just about to say the same thing. Mike knocked his Ass out for using his Govt name lol. Mike from the hood, u really disrespecting in the the hood when u do that shit
"It's gonna be a slooow, slooow night for him."
That was just terrifying.
"Im going to shock the world" the most cursed sentence before a boxing match...

He just didn't have the discipline, endurance and mental strength of Ali.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the editing of this video. You did a phenomenal job here. 👏
I love that line, “everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face!”
Tyson worked and worked and worked to become "Iron Mike". I have tremendous respect for his perseverance.
Mike Tyson is a good example of how people treat others if theyre different. People put him on this pedestal as a legend but think Tyson is unintelligent because he has a lisp and is a fighter. The man was not only a legend in the ring, but he's incredibly intelligent. Especially having to go through so much hard work and dedication as a kid...
Yeah I honestly always thought that Mike wasn't too bright haha. But lately I've been watching a lot of videos about him and he's smarter than people would assume. Sometimes he would say something that's just clever/intelligent/whatever you want to call it and it makes a lot of sense. Its hard to notice at first because of the way he talks. Still he was a complete mental case when he was younger XD Absolute madlad
@@romanhollow2985 most people aren't good with finance, hardly a measure of intelligence when there's so much more Tyson excelled at.
People confuse uneducated with unintelligent often
@@denholmholbrook2517 Mike is very well educated. He can't back it up with a degree but he's read enough books to become a really good thinker and speaker. Not to mention how his life experiences and emotional intelligence lift him to a completely different level. He's one of the most underrated philosophers we have today imo.
You know what, in hindsight this was Mike giving us a taste of his comedic side that we see all the time now.
He’s one of those guys that says hilarious things without really trying or realizing it.
@@bigplanner
Just don't laugh too hard lol.
God a young Tyson is absolutely terrifying
Glad Im old enough to have seen Tyson fight in the 80's, and dominate. Heck, I saw Van Halen in the 80's, Metallica in the 80's, and I saw Star Wars as a new release in 1977. Sometimes being older is good.
A legendary resume there. Respect.
For me, the most remembered sentence Mike ever did was “he was crying in there, he was making woman gestures” 😂
Mike Tyson The Scariest Boxer Ever
@@King6d9 major respect to big george foreman
