Arsenio was one of the best talk show hosts of all time..a true natural..he has a way of never insulting his guests, cutting jokes and making everybody feel comfortable.. not taking cheap shots as rocky Balboa would say lol..
Growing up I only heard his voice and just assumed the jokes were right. That he wasn't a sharp guy, to put it nicely. But hearing his words now, the man is sharp as a tack. He has deep knowledge and concentration. It's a shame people made fun of him for his voice, because his words were very worth listening to.
you can never succeed in any field if you are not smart. the greatest athletes of all time all had great spirituality and intellectual level. people tend to think sports is all about the physique, but most of it really has to do with mentality. and Mike Tyson had a great mentality and spirituality
Nah.. Watch his YT channel while he interviewing Bizzy Bone and you'll have second thoughts. Not saying it wouldn't be cool to chill and get high with him but you'll see what I'm talking about..🤣😭
John, That bitch who reported him was lying and she even admitted to it later on. Iron Mike was a hunted man in his prime and they wanted to bring him down a notch.
No... Tyson was always nice before the PRISON and convert to ISLAM period.. watch ALL interviews before he Converted and went to Prison that's when he turned into a monster and was biting people ears off, prior to that he was only an animal in the ring but focused outside of it. #LongtimeMikeFan
Take away the way he speaks and listen to what he is speaking about, MIKE ALWAYS BEEN A WISE MAN, FILLED WITH SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE, and funny. Mike will have you laughing
If Cus Damato had lived Mike Tyson would have never lost. the man was an artist in the ring. Cus said if his fighters would do their job half as good as he did the results would be inevitable.
Not mentally, He abandoned 4 skills damato insisted he needed that he abandoned in 89. head movement all the time, being in angles punching where the opponent cant punch back,jab,combination punching.Mentally ,he just couldnt put it together anymore because he abandoned the damato camp. That was the only place with rooney that would have maintained his important 4 skills.
that is completely false but popular to say among tyson fans. in his rematch with bruno after prison that is the exact same tyson that fought bruno the first time. you watch both fights and they look nearly identical apart from the fact tyson knocked him out faster in the rematch. his movement and everything was the same. it was the same guy.
Probably the same but the tyson of 89 vs bruno had some stamina left over from the rooney days that he totally lost post jail.Damato always maintained to fight the right style,you need the stamina and timing from fighting every 3 months and living in the gym between fights. It's a full time job and tyson took it as a very part time job after 1988.
His decline in 89 was just as good as dead. That;s the problem.The program he followed was over in mid 88. Everything after was tyson with no guidance on fighting properly as taught by damato. Once tyson used the damato techniques from 85-88, he became by mid 87, virtually unbeatable in ANY ROUND of ALL his fights. The best an opponent did was grab for dear life and lose all 12 rounds. With equal opposition in Bruno,Tillman, stewart,ruddock,his performances was less and off par as compared to pre 89. These post 88 opponnts were at equal level of tysons past opponents .His performances after 88 showed vulnerability in getting hit more. One of damato's serious skill is to NOT get hit while attacking,by using an awkward head and upper body movement in different angles instead of "straight in" as he did after 88. .He clearly abandoned the defensive swarming model for a one shot at a time ragefull fighter. No good.
he hadn't even been to prison yet in this interview.. the rape hadn't even occurred yet if I'm not mistaken. And if you look at interviews from 86 to 91 his whole demeanor changed, thats not long... its more personal i believe
@@MrMov1es He was in decline before Douglas. After he parted ways with Kevin Rooney. Peak-a-boo style was already gone. Also, trying to load up and KO guys with one punch and not using his once devastating combinations led to his demise by 1989.
@@shawnst33 He was not the same i agree - but he won 4 fights after buster. 3 of them was very good. Compare mikes body against buster and razor. You could see mike was in top shape in 91. "No combinations?" guess you didnt see him in 91... All your guys says mike was done after kevin ronney and thats not true. He was done AFTER holyfield in 97.
GODDAMN! If Mike wasnt surrounded by a bunch of leeching bad influences (male& female), he wouldve made a boxing record so deep Floyd wouldnt be able to touch it in 1 life time and Mike couldve become an instructor after. He seems extremely smart, knowledgeable, insightful, and down to earth. What a shame.
I wish teddy never did what he did ..mike shouldnt have done what he did ...so teddy and kevin and cus. And the original Tyson team stayed together mike would have won at least 80+ fights but the goal was 100 wins. 0 losses ...but say 80wins and 1 loss .cause everyone has 1 bad night...now that 80-1 looks way better than 50-6-2...but in his first 43 fights he was unstoppable..42-1....but after prison and Don King robbed him of his 2nd half of his career...the end was sad to see...but now mike is trully a man and hes still the undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the world " Iron Mike Tyson"...and that nick name perfect..mike 4 prez
Just awesome 7:48 I still remember watching this on TV when I was a kid, I remembered this part about Razor's shorts 8:25 There's just never been anyone like this is boxing. I can't believe some people try to say Tyson wasn't one of the greats...
Whoever says that must of never seen him fight or don't know boxing...not only is he 1 of the greatest he could of potentially been the g.o.a.t, had he not lost cus and rooney, and not have had all them leaches and wrong people around him. His living habits were bad too, the drugs,the sex, and money was too much for him to handle, and it threw off his concentration/dedication. Once he lost that he started to fall.
"......better fail doing your best....., .....lets you know if you belong there or not....". Tyson has said many things that are applicable to many lives and generations. Live Long Mike.
IwantAgoodCleanFight exactly i hate when people say he is completely an iliterate mute. He is far from that. ..we all know he has mental issues but mike tyson is very intelligent. Ive seen him converse with lawyers and sound juat as eloquent as the lawyers.
You Got Ali, Johnson, Louis, Holyfield, Dempsey, Marciano, Bowe, Foreman, Frazier, Holmes and then you got Tyson... all of these boxers are legendary, but Young Tyson was the most explosive dynamite in the ring... to bad he meet the wrong people.. but im glad he has a good life these days.
Going to high school in the 80's there was only two athletes consistently talked about by all my buddies. Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson. Still legends today that are larger than life.
I went school in the mid 2010s and we still talked about Mike Tyson, he's such a legend that people generations after will remember his name. My experience is a testament to that
@@NoRockinMansLand I challenged a man to a fist fight last month at the gym who is almost a foot taller than me and he backed down. I'm riding high on ego right now and I deserve to.
Yeah and some pits are uncuddled abused and unleashed, and euthanized. AND some are abused, cuddled, and unleashed to be abused and cuddled and unleashed again. He is the ladder! Iron Mike!
I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos of Mike Tyson. His way of thinking hasn’t changed. He is calm, soft spoken, thinks things through. Dangerous guy. He is more of a comedian now a Days. You deserve to have laughs now Tyson. I wish I could Shake Tyson’s Hand. I saw him on tv in the 90s. I was 8.
What couldve been. IF, IF, IF......If cus doesnt pass, if he never met don king, if he never met robbin givens, if he never went to jail for rape charges. After he got outa jail the fire wasnt there. He was getting by on power and talent, but his training, conditioning, and work ethic were not what they were. Hell always be a ledgend and is still a success, but he couldve been the best ever hands down, no argument. Instead hes only in the discussion.
This was mike in his ABSOLUTE prime right here. I been around and seen a lot of them LIVE (Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Lyle, Shavers, Holmes, etc)...and I wouldn't trip if anyone said this Tyson right here was the most dominant force in the history of boxing,
Mike was wise articulate and a great fighter for such a young man considering his brutal childhood glad he’s doing well considering all the ups and downs he’s had
lol Don King wanted no part of Holyfield, knowing well enough his cash cow hype machine would get exposed, after jail he had to fight something of meaning and still got fucked by older Holyfield....twice 😆
NO, They both signed to fight in Nov 1991. So what happened? Oh thats right, Mike pulled out of the fight. Let that sink in a minute. Mike pulled out of the fight. Said he "got hurt" in training. Do you remember seeing any X-rays? Me either. Poor baby. Poor poor baby. Everybody gets hurt in training. Guess he didn't want Evander that "BADLY". Gotta think.... he was just scared of Evander. So scared he tried to hide in prison for 3 years hoping Evander would get old and beat up or retire. Which he did after losing to Moorer. But when Evander came out of retirement poor Mike had no other choice but to have to get in the ring with him. And well, we all what happened in those to beat downs don't. Bully got bullied.
@@30over3 no one wanted ruddock but tyson stepped up and fought twice versus that punching machine. Tyson took bombs from ruddock clean in both fights and got rocked a couple of times but he walked through and wanted a proper tear up. Tysons body attack was sickening in the 2nd fight
@@30over3 Foreman didnt want the tyson fight. Bob Arum offered Foreman the tyson fight after his loss to holyfield. He offered to pay foreman $10m but foreman declined and said he rather have the holyfield rematch. Thats a fact which bob arum himself spoke about. Tyson never ducked foreman. Thats bs propaganda as DK would of signed tyson to fight foreman had foreman said yes to arum
I agree with Mike Tyson fear is a b**** and destroys your movement you got to be clear minded and go for what you want if you fail at least you know that you was game and you was ready for the opportunity any true warrior can live with that but if your mind is not right there always will be excuses if ands or buts true Warriors can't live with that the Good Die Young truth hurts
He is very knowledge on the fight game. One of his former managers (Bill Cayton, RIP) mentored me as I came up, and I believe he will'd off (or sold) his collection of fights to Mike. I know Mike had access to them growing up and he studied all the pugilists.This is so important for young fighters...they should know their history--very important.
You can always tell when Mike likes and is really comfortable with someone, he always places his hand on theirs. When he had the interview with Evander on the Oprah show he did the exact something.
Awesome!! And I agree, Razor would give Holy nightmares! Holy fought almost everybody with a mixed bag of success but at this time, while Razor was still confident and hadn’t had his soul taken from him in 2nd Tyson fight, Razor would have took his head off with lead left uppercut. Holy still a legend along with Mike Tyson.
If cus lived a few more years till Mike was a little older and wiser perhaps? I think he'd have fought and ruled a lot longer. He still has a sadness about him these days .
KeiserNoName mike was only like 5'10" thou he was actually a pretty small heavyweight, he was just built like a tank and hit you with dynamite from both hands
Kobe Bryant should've had his own late night talk show interviewing Mr. Tyson about his boxing career. I would've recommended he sign a contract with Paramount, and launch his own production company, Kobe Bryant productions. 🎬🎥
Iron Mike looked like the tyrannosaurus from Jurassic Park... Same overbite, gapped teeth, fat neck, and reptilian eyes. I'd have shit my pants even coming face to face with him.
Some people think most fighters does not afraid of him anymore after he lost to Douglas... well, Alex Stewart went 12 rounds against Holyfield and Foreman, and he lost to Tyson in few secs. Henry Tillman beat Tyson twice in amateur and was KO'd brutally in few secs. Ruddock did not afraid of Mike and Mike proof he's not afraid of a guy who's not afraid of him . Mike did look scary in this video for some reason, more scary than he used too.
I tell you though, it always confused me how Mike was so intellectually sharp, considering he was a petty thief, a school drop out, and from a broken home. Just listening to his thought provoking answers, even from an early age, just astounds me. He looked and fought like a fearsome Harlem street thug, yet was / is a very deep and philosophical man.
“This is Mike Tyson. I’ll be back with Hulk Hogan” is just legendary.
Mike is definitely part of the American culture !!!! When u think about boxing, 2 names comes in mind Mohamed Ali and Mike Tyson 😉
Facts
It’s Muhammad not Mohamed
Mo hon mud Ali
@Hem Dog Falsely convicted do your research

What year was this interview?
You gotta increase the tracking on your vhs 😂😂
Hahahah we old playa!!
at 36 seconds of this video all those so called friends disappeared when Mike went to prison and became broke.
After which fight was this interview taken place after?
Modern Heavyweight division is a freakshow.Guys 7 feet tall 300lb ...its crazy.
A true heavyweight 6.2-5..220-230lb
KeiserNoName mike was only like 5'10" thou he was actually a pretty small heavyweight, he was just built like a tank and hit you with dynamite from both hands
lol 250 is too much too slow
frank bruno i remember was this much against tyson and tyson nearly killed him.
@Ron P gtfo here
bruno is a great boxer - he would beat the boxers of today easily
Mike has always had a brilliant boxing mind. He’s a very intelligent man
He is NOT intelligent at all !!!!
@@johnpuleo3176 back at you!
I miss this Tyson...
This is still after Barbera Walters I beg to differ , he contradicts himself and got too emotional during a fight
Kobe Bryant should've had his own late night talk show interviewing Mr. Tyson about his boxing career. I would've recommended he sign a contract with Paramount, and launch his own production company, Kobe Bryant productions. 🎬🎥
At 3:34 I thought Arsenio would receive a Knock out punch when he grabbed Mike's jacket
That leather jacket is tuff
What's that jacket hes wearing with the "G" gucci?
Everybody on media scared to Tyson while they interviewing him , nobody knows when tyson become vampire 😀
Iron Mike looked like the tyrannosaurus from Jurassic Park... Same overbite, gapped teeth, fat neck, and reptilian eyes. I'd have shit my pants even coming face to face with him.
Some people think most fighters does not afraid of him anymore after he lost to Douglas... well, Alex Stewart went 12 rounds against Holyfield and Foreman, and he lost to Tyson in few secs. Henry Tillman beat Tyson twice in amateur and was KO'd brutally in few secs.
Ruddock did not afraid of Mike and Mike proof he's not afraid of a guy who's not afraid of him .
Mike did look scary in this video for some reason, more scary than he used too.
How is that a fat neck that's a muscly neck there's a difference a fat neck is like rolls
Kyle Main Sorry, I should have said wide neck instead of fat.
+Kyle Main that's alright man
I tell you though, it always confused me how Mike was so intellectually sharp, considering he was a petty thief, a school drop out, and from a broken home. Just listening to his thought provoking answers, even from an early age, just astounds me. He looked and fought like a fearsome Harlem street thug, yet was / is a very deep and philosophical man.
Tyson with the "G" on his jacket. ;)
Mike was a Monsterious man
Mike pull the back of your jacket down lol.
say that to his face instead of behind a screen hehe
Mike was always a smart dude, the problem with his situations were always bad management and the loss of his best coach.
Mike is Monster Evil! Champion!
mike survived the 90's
"He said i hit him low, he had the shorts up to his throat"
Good interview
Mike tyson got some game to spill
Prime Tyson.
That was the pit bull right there. Id put that Mike up against any heavyweight in history and I dont think he would lose.
