      @anotherstimualting comment....no, it would have been carnage. Lewis was no where near ready to take on Iron Mike at that time. @thegooners11....I was ready to dismiss your comment but off the back of what I’ve just said, it’s prob true that Mike peaked early. Not his fault of course, but there are many fighters that beat Mike ONLY because he was on the other side of his ‘early’ peak.

    I genuinely enjoyed this interview. I don’t think Mike liked disingenuous people; that’s why it went so well, because Dick was not a phoney put-on type guy. I have seen Mike in interviews where the interviewer was outright afraid of him; in one, he told the woman not to utter another word; and she didn’t. In others, he verbally ko’d the guy; you thought he was going to get up and feed him his teeth. He didn’t appreciate, nor did he put up with, being talked down to or patronized. This interview is how he was when he liked and respected someone.

      The point of the demonstration is to prove the principle of 'mechanics' in Aikido. It's like a Aikido 'party trick'. I did Aikido for only a short time in my teens but have used it several times to overpower people who have stepped up to fight me. It does work very well, but is not an offensive weapon at all. it is very much a defensive technique. If you think it is bullshido then a trip to a local Aikido school would be an eye opener indeed.

      80s was not that impressive in terms of HWs. Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield, Spinks, Holmes, that's about it in terms of superstars. Guys like Lennox, Mercer, and Morrison were just coming along in the late 80s, also an old George Foreman who didn't get in the title mix until the 90s, so overall I'd say the 80s was a decent era for Heavyweights but nothing compared to the 60s and 70s

I knew deep down that it was nothing more than a kooky lil trick designed to give false confidence. I knew it was utter quackery amongst the realms of Real World Street Fighting knowledge,skill, and abilities. Even before joining tkd, I remember a friend referring to that type of stuff as "Let Me", as in, Let Me show you my nice cute trick that I could use on you if you just kindly comply with me,and only just grab my wrists. I agreed with what he was saying, and I naturally felt the same way,but I joined tkd for the sake of having a healthy fitness outlet, and to show off my natural kicking abilities.
