I'm Polish native I watched all his fights growing up. I think Mike Tyson is the most aggressive, explosive, exiting fighter to wach of our era.. I rather be kicked by a horse than meet with his upper cut or left hook. I love how he use his legs ,all that power .Hands down my favorite heavyweight fighter till this date. He's a Beast! Well deserved Sir. You are a Legend!
Legend. I remember in the late 80s, my grandad was a WW2 vet, he loved Tyson. I used to stay up with him, watching Tysons fights at like 3am here in the U.K. My grandad was a desert rat, a tough bloke, so to see my grandad call another man a tough bloke meant a lot to me back then. Good times.
I am honestly dumbfounded at how many shots of his some of his opponents were able to take and keep fighting... The fact that some of these fighters were able to go the distance and make it to judges decision after getting hit so many times is absolutely mind boggling
Man, does this bring back memories. When Iron Mike was in his prime, his fights were all must-see events. Watching this I'm reminded of just how HARD that man could hit. I used to think he might actually knock somebody's head clean off one day.
As much as Tyson wanted to drive the nose bone of his opponents thru their skull, at the end he had a humane side to him. One of the most, if not THE most explosive boxer, of all time. Many thanks uploader, great stuff to relive his career which I followed much of as it happened.
+lucu01 think we only saw that human side when he got older.when he was young he just wanted to kill them lol

I noticed that in most of his fights when he was young after the fight was over he would go over to console his opponent. It's my belief that Mike could have been the worlds all time greatest fighter is he had not lost his direction. This guy was just magnificent in his younger days........then he grew up and got ugly.
Way back when in Albany NY at an after hours club called Septembers, I found myself standing right next to Mike Tyson. Respect. Great fighter. Thank You.
There will never be another Mike tyson. Way way after all of us are long long gone he’ll still be studied and discussed aswell as copied. His legend will never die.
I feel just the way you do. No one has ever come close to the power he has. He ever gets tired. He is right on the money with almost every punch. I keep watching his highlights. I just can not believe the power he has. Such a great athlete.
We don't think of Mike Tyson as a great technical boxer, because his physical dominance was so impressive. But to me, his fighting style was beautiful. It was direct and aggressive, but you can not deny that he looked like someone executing a fighting style to near perfection. The bobbing, weaving, compact punches, constantly tucked in chin, hands in front of the face, relentless offense. It was something special.
***** its an art form. Everything is timed and measured. He did not throw haymakers. He threw crisp perfectly timed shots. I can watch him fight all day
Fury better than Mike lol. Just ask Holmes. Spinks. Brubeck ect. Punches in bunches that left hook and body shots would take anyone out he don't care how big u are.
Firstly - many thanks for not putting crappy loud music on the video. Tyson in his prime was indeed a legend - humble - ordinary - yet sincere. I don't think he really realised how good he was. I put him on par with Muhammed Ali, Rocky Marciano, and Joe Louis. You can never really compare them - they all had entirely different individual styles - but champions at their sport none the less. Enjoyed the video immensely. Definite thumbs up.
Always good to be reminded of how well schooled and conditioned the young Mike Tyson was. This is pure boxing - combinations with bad intentions. Mike's left hook looking for the kill.
His punches are so tight. I mean the force he must have been able to produce with such a powerfully smooth hook with a snap at the end, its unreal. And he had a basket full of position moves, that are near impossible to duplicate without that speed. followed up with an array of combos, of which my favorite was that body shot and uppercut with the same hand.. amazing how many times he was cashing in on that one.
I remember Mike Tyson coming on the boxing scene, and it was intimidating. I know Mike has had his many problems, of which he has nobly owned up to; none of the less, that man was a beast, and perhaps he still is. I surely wouldn't want to provoke his inner beast. I think he is a sweetheart in depth, but something much else in the ring.
When I see the terror in Berbick's eyes I have empathy .. and, when I see the path traveled by Myke I am full of admiration and respect. After all, doesn't the great sage say that the most important is the path and not the goal?! .. Much respect Myke...from France
It's a shame how Tyson's life got out of control like it did. In 85 when he was starting his rise to the top, he was literally the best boxer in the world. He was explosive, calculating, technical, well trained and disciplined. He got a feel for his opponent very quickly and adjusted his technique and threw his punches accordingly, making quick work of them. He undoubtedly had power in every punch and jab. He combined expertly placed combinations with lighting speed and had the footwork to keep him balanced and rock steady at the same time allowing him to land powerful blow after powerful blow. Early on, he showed great sportsmanship, always helping his opponent back to his feet, and went to a neutral corner as soon as someone went down or the ref stepped in. I think he lost it when things got too much for him after realizing how badly he was being taken advantage of and seems to have lost guidance from people he trusted and depended on. After seeing him go to work in the ring, it's amazing that anyone in their right mind was willing to get in the ring with him. They were either really brave, really stupid, or really overly confident in their ability to not only throw a punch, but to take one!
Well said. When I think of Tysons career I can't help buy feel sad because he didn't live up to his potential and really prove his place amongst the all time greats even though he had the ability. He still had a great career but not on the level of the best of the best. If he had beaten Holyfield that would've gone a long way towards his legacy
Just look at Tyson's foot-movements to find better angles to deliver the knockout blows. This dude is so underestimated. A majority of boxers don't pivot like this and, stay in one spot throwing punches. A technician, indeed, this Tyson!
Tyson's prime was 85-88. Lots of variables can be considered when something is in it's prime, age is just one of them. The day Don King fired Kevin Rooney In 1988 was the day Mike Tyson's career ended. The trainers Don King hired were sycophants who turned Tyson into a head hunter who was encouraged to take short cuts just because he was 'Mike Tyson'. Rooney would have never allowed Mike to Slack off like that. Out of the window went Tyson's lethal combinations, his elusiveness, his head movement, his footwork, his unbelievable work ethic, his overall discipline, fitness and not forgetting, his mental health. Mike Tyson never lost a fight with Kevin Rooney as his trainer. Don King was an evil blood sucking narcissist leech and Tyson was an extremely troubled RICH young man who was very malleable and open to manipulation. Don King KNEW this and did EVERYTHING in his power to bleed him dry. Kevin Rooney on Tyson's Decline: " Because Mike has had no guidance since he left me, he just does what he wants, His mind set is 'I'm the man.' But, a lot of fighters get like that. They forget the training that was there when they were just a little pup. Mike won't listen to anybody! If he felt he was in shape and needed to take off 5 or 10 pounds, he would just dry out. When I had Mike, he worked out. There was no need to dry out! He work out hard! That's what made him the best fighter and youngest heavyweight champion in the world. Mike didn't respect those guys. He knows more than them... and he knows it too. Those trainers that he's had, they don't know anything! Mike couldn't pull that shit with me. When it came to style, technique and all that, he couldn't go head to head with me. When he had those other guys, they didn't know what to tell him". The Tyson of 85-88 is technically the BEST heavyweight there's ever been and ever will be. The combination of natural talent, his genetics, SPEED, FREAKISH POWER, WORK ETHIC, Great punch resistance, Punch leverage and amazing DEFENSE with his constant head moment will NEVER, EVER be matched. He was a MACHINE. With the classic tyson, 85-88 (his prime) if he found you, you lose, it's that simple. In that period his defense was superior to anyone and Tyson in that young classic era had 20 rounds of stamina. Tyson barely lost a minute of any round for 4 years. He possessed the fastest muscle fiber twitching of any heavyweight since Ali.You cannot compete with that force of nature. 85-88 Tyson had the perfect balance of speed,power, stamina,conditioning, knowledge of the fight game(having watched over 2000 films of past champions) the best corner, the best fight ideology for short fighters. A concrete chin. Tyson post 88? forget it, not the same fighter, didn't train, took coke, weed, crack, you name it, not even the same person as the Motivated pre 88 Tyson who LIVED in the Gym. Why do you think people say 'Ali OR Tyson?' and not Ali OR Lewis, Ali OR Holyfield, It's always "Ali OR Tyson" FOR A REASON.
You're absolutely on point. Don king ruined Mike Tyson's career. If not for Don king ,Mike Tyson would've become the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion of all time. It was hurting to see such a talent cut short and wasted at his prime.
Emerald City /yours were the most insightful, intelligent incomplete comments about Tyson. Your analysis really touches my heart and said exactly what I feel. You’re very smart and said it correctly. Thank you
@@nakedhombre Sad when Tyson burnt 88 millions in just one year. His body was well trained, but his mind never stood a chance - he forgot where he came from!
Mike had 22kos in the 1st round plus his peak was 84 to 89 in 84 he fought 15 times Jimmy Jacobs died in 88 when Mike fought Tubbs in Tokyo he fought Holmes in 88 to & cus broke Mike down built him back up in 84 to mid 88 Mike was the happiest kid alive given his money to homeless people & the kids who had disabilities & worked with them a lot & in 86 he slept on Steve lotts couch had no car,jewelry,clothes so Steve went to put his underwear one they were all stretched out so Steve said Mike u got to get some clothes Mike says naw a don't need to spend any money that's how happy that kid was till Robin & mother came along to try steal his cash then king swooped in after Jimmy Jacobs funeral so all the hard work cus put into Mike being a good person Don king put him back into the environment Mike left to give him drugs women in way all the wrong people who were only after cash he partied more & more drugs drink anything he wanted no1 was their to say no so he was so unhappy he started to self destruct fell out of luv for boxin spent 400ml visited camille ewald his adopted mother at catskills & he was crying after all the bad stuff he had dun new he'd been ripped off & camilles last words were so true (the destruction of a young man's dreams) so blinking sad.IRON Mike the best ever.
I just heard Tyson's interview on Stern which was great and I had to look up his fights. I had only seen Tyson in his later boxing years, I had no idea that he was this much of an animal. Fantastic video, Legendary boxer thank you.
I just came across this clip, I'm sitting in my hospital bed at 2am and couldn't sleep now for 2 days and I must say you helped go to sleep at the 2nd of your all time great and well put together video, I want to thank you my brother for a well deserved compliment on your work(FLAWLESS TOUCH)❤👍
Great video, thank you so much for making this, awesome footage, the ear chomp in the Holyfield rematch, and the losses, just great moments to relive. Thank you.
Peak Tyson would have beaten peak anyone. But off peak he had deep weaknesses to character. I think he would admit that himself. The most impressive thing is how Mike has reinvented himself and seems a genuine caring likable guy
Tyson 84-88 was a beast.....fast ,nasty, aggressive, elusive, powerful and hungry.....at this time in his career he'd have troubled ANY heavyweight in ANY ERA....
People can say all the negative things they want about Mike but you have got to admit the heavyweight division hasn't been the same since he's been gone everyone knows in Tyson's prime he would have beat any boxer from any era even some of the greatest boxers have said so just give him his credit he was amazing great video
How can anyone say "he would beat anyone" when he actually NEVER beat anyone? Il give Tyson one thing,he really dragged in people with no boxingknowledge at all to watch him,no other boxer has so many total clueless idiots following him.
@@nicklasandersson5606 stfu idiot. Boxing experts say the same thing. When he was coming up they were comparing him to the greats of the past and they still compare heavyweights with him today. It's the dumbest thing when you phone screen experts try to talk shit.

@@nicklasandersson5606 .. Because its an opinion bro.. And not just a random opinion, its a strong opinion with a lot of backing that many would also agree with.
wow!! watching this video just makes me realize how amazing this fighter was, all champs loose, its part of being a champion, but wow, in his prime, nobody from any era would have beat Tyson, I stand by this statement. thank you so much for this simply amazing video about Mike Tyson....
One does certainty AGREES...... GO ENJOYING MIKE'S LEGACY.... "ANOTHER HUGE RIGHT HAND" TYSON VS FOREMAN,ALTA MATE HEAVYWEIGHT SHOWDOWN, 2 KILLER'S......GEORGE FOREMAN,ANOTHER KNOCK OUT specialist.......... DON'T YOU AGREES.....
Bascorasco Definitely not, Tyson was the most aggressive and hard hitting boxer of his time and considering the fact he is high on coke appearently in some of his fights he would pose a very real threat to Ali
cran vine it's easy to look amazing when you are fighting bums and has beens like Tyson did. The second he fought quality opposition he got his ass kicked. Tyson had absolutely no character, psychologically weak, no class, no brains and no heart. Ali would mind fuck him before the fight. Tyson was a bully, he didn't stand for anything and if he fought someone who wasn't afraid of him he crumbled. Tyson is one of the most overrated fighter ever. Ali the great would destroy Tyson in 8.
Bascorasco Whoa whoa whoa, what are you talking about? Absolute madness. Bums and has beens? The competition he fought earlier in his career were far from has beens. He does have an interesting character, in recent years has reflected on his mistakes and showed considerable insight and maturity, is a true boxing historian - his knowledge of the sport is the stuff of legend praised by many iconic boxing historians thanks to Cus D'amato's teaching, he is actually quite intelligent (his break downs and play by plays of his successes and mistakes in earlier fights makes your statement false) and far from a bully. He was a competitive boxer that, yes, used intimidation (isn't the first nor will be the last) to unnerve opponents and lost his way after the death of Cus D'amato. Buster Douglas was a has been that Mike shouldn't have lost to. Mike went astray following Cus' death and allowed bums to beat him by getting involved with the wrong crowds, being manipulated and robbed by Don King. Cus D'amato was the nurturing figure that took a shy kid out of shitty circumstances that would cry when bullies killed his birds, took him in and turned him into a true boxer, but wasn't around to keep him from becoming a monster for a brief period of time. Had Cus D'amato lived longer, many argue Tyson would have held the belt for much longer. Tyson does belong up there as one of the best of all time.. Note "one" of. You like many others took his theatrics too literally, fail to realize this is a man that did his time, made mistakes and has fessed up to it - being more self deprecating and apologetic now upon reflecting on his mistakes as an older wiser individual. The current "Tyson" was always the shy kid always present in the past even during his monster days.. While I agree Ali is great, your attempted takedown of Tyson shows a true lack of respect (dare I say due to ignorance of the man's true history and informed by tabloid theatrics) of the road he walked and how far he's come.
Tyson with his head movement, uppercuts, left hooks and short right hands, body punching he was lethal, if he carried on fighting in the same way, he would've been unbeatable but somehow his fighting skills have changed later on. Against Douglas, the referee was taking his time to count when Douglas was knocked out, and saved by the bell, by then Tyson ran out of steam really.
Yes he was the best. Get over it. Some Tyson haters say he didn't defeat any top champ, only ordinary boxers... No, this is not true. The point is that next to Tyson EVERYONE seemed run-of-the-mill fighters...
@Joseph if you think Tyson was just a brawler you're blind. Evander was a great fighter but overall Tyson is levels above Evander. You act like nobody knows about jabs. You know that damn near all of the fighters he went up against had a longer reach and tried using the jab to keep distance. Every fighter knew that it was over if he got inside. This is basic fucking boxing knowledge.
PS. Well I hope Mike's at least happy and more in peace with himself now, when he stopped boxing than when he was on the ring. Damn - what a life, man!
O yeah,"swinging an missing Mike Tyson"Tyson v Buster Mathis Junior.Was so so excited when Tyson came out of prison,win's WBCouncil Championship, 3rd com we back fight,4th match win's WBA TITLE ALL WITH IN A YEAR,HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE. TYSON,KID diner mite,.No had EVER done that,not EVER.He should have gone down better than Ali,any day.I know what Ali in all his achieved, specialy against George Foreman for what he could take,remains never EVER,EVER KO'd. Not nearly, that's absolutely incredible, considering some of the greats he at time's PLAYED WITH...
You watch this legend and you have to say nobody has ever, displayed the punching power like Iron Mike Tyson! What a chin from Tucker,Ruddock, Tubbs and Holmes.Douglas what a ko.
Mate, I straight up had a fly buzzing around me & when I swooshed it away & looked back up on my 60" screen across the room, I was like, "That's a bigass fly & how the crap did it get over there already?... No, wait What?" Hahahaha
I remember a Tyson fight on national TV. Thought let me quickly take a 1 min shower before the show......and Dad told me the show was already all over?? WTF!
Mohammed Ali never said that he could be defeated by anyone except when he was asked about Mike Tyson. Tyson was a beast before he went to jail, and no one ever dared to explode in the ring in front of him. His opponents always tried to calm the fight down. Many boxers like Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield only showed up after he went to jail in which he lost his skills. He will stay one of the few distinguished fighters in the history of boxing, and apparently the toughest fighter ever. PERIOD.
Headbutter was so juiced up it was unreal look at him vs buster Douglas then a few others then tyson god he was so juiced up when he used to take a beating he would cum back at u stronger as that's what peds do u recover faster
Kudos for an amazing, comprehensive compilation put together artfully! How can you not love and respect Mike Tyson, even with the hyper-aggression and unsportsmanlike behavior in the ring (although it is probably this very aggression which propelled him to the top of the mountain)? Also amazing to see how much Mike evolved as a human being post-boxing.
Unsportsmanlike behavior? You mean like hitting opponents on the hip? Using his elbows or forearms? Using his head? Or at the end of each round trying to get himself in position to throw a shot after the bell rings? And referees consistently let him get away with it. Somehow boxing fans never held that stuff against him.
@@rudimwongozi2169 I watched the whole video. Tyson did have a bad habit of throwing shots after the bell. And the bad thing about it is that he didn't need to do that. He was going to win most of those fights anyway. But I was analyzing the Holyfield fights, and yes I know Tyson lost his mind biting Holyfield's ear, but Holyfield was headbutting the man. I suppose you can call it karma for all of Tyson's shots after the bell though. I don't know if he had a chance against Lewis anyway, but he looked like he took a lot of unnecessary punishment. He looked like he wasn't using that great ability he had to evade punches. I don't think his heart was even in boxing at that point.
Great video! Young Mike Tyson is my favorite boxer ever and a huge inspiration to me. Also, thank you to the person who put all the time and effort into making this video :)
@@jonfred9675 Who was Tyson supposed to be fighting then? Not his fault the HW scene was lame back then. I don't think Razor Ruddock was a bad fighter.
@@jonfred9675 I'm not sure what your definition of a proper fighter is. If you consider it as anyone who's ever beaten Tyson, your biased and ignorant hatred of the man shines brightly.
Yeah, how could you not great him beforehand lol? I mean, these guys have already seen what he's done to other guys. Plus, when they get in the ring, Tyson's looking at them like a lion eyeing a gazelle on the Serengeti. Go back and look at the referee giving instructions before the Tyson-McNeely fight. Mike looks like he's about to eat McNeely.
Tyson didn't even come to fight Buster Douglas. That entire fight he looked as if he was somewhere else. And, Holyfield was headbutting the Hell out of Tyson lol. At the end of the day Tyson should have stuck to the peek-a-boo style that Cus taught him because no one had an answer for it. Once he began to tweek it, his downfall began. However, from the 7th through 37th fight he could beat any fighter in history...Ali included.
There were almost THREE Tysons,the one Rooney trained ,The Decline pre-prison was 2nd then POST Prison the 3rd.The First Tyson was awesome,one of the greats,the 2nd was a man in turmoil who won by his power,until he didnt train for Buster(whom he KO'D in reality)then the post prison Mike was a shadow of his former self.SAD .You were GREAT MIKE
2:40 I wonder what reaction Michael Buffer would have had if someone told him that night that 35 years later, he’d be interviewed by Mike on his podcast while Mike sat around getting high and that it would have over 785,000 views on peoples’ phones and computers.
OK, *this* is the fight I remember watching years ago when Tyson knocked out his opponent while he was in full guard position. It was Tyson Vs Benjamin and you can see it at 8:10 . Boxers typically guard themselves to rest and buy time. It is almost unheard of for a boxer to be literally knocked completely out while keeping his head under his arms for protection. This is a testament to Tysons power but also his incredible skill to get his devastating punches to land in between and around Benjamin's arms. Absolutely amazing.
Tyson was a hard-punching quick-moving little guy that hit with authority and was probably the best fighter pound for pound there had been for a long time and if he had kept his eye on his boxing and hadn't got into trouble would have been the greatest boxer of all time. I think he was the greatest. What a record.
@scarface 38 That's calling the kettle black. Tyson was a dirty fighter. Bit Holyfield and tried to Break the arm of the guy from Ireland. You know, the guy who Tyson refused to continue fighting. The guy who retired Tyson... The White Man, remember?
And usually Tyson was angry at the refs for making him finish guys off. He was really upset about the referee making him finish off Larry Holmes he had a lot of respect for him.
Yeah, his defense and head movement get overlooked quite a bit because his punching power takes center stage. He used to make guys miss a lot and if they got off balance or left their hands down, he was on em.
I see what you mean, but it was a hell of a run, and NO ONE stays on top forever, we just aren't built that way, but yes what a great fighter in his prime, IMO the best HW ever, the power is just astonishing to watch, love IRON MIKE
Nope because those later days can’t triumph the history when I see mike I see him as the best I ever saw no matter what lm sure real true Tyson fans don’t even see that ish we ray Charles blind to the bullshit they manufactured
He was a Beast in the ring in his younger days but, after his boxing career was over he became an even better man. Much respect to Tyson.

It's a shame how Tyson's life got out of control like it did. In 85 when he was starting his rise to the top, he was literally the best boxer in the world. He was explosive, calculating, technical, well trained and disciplined. He got a feel for his opponent very quickly and adjusted his technique and threw his punches accordingly, making quick work of them. He undoubtedly had power in every punch and jab. He combined expertly placed combinations with lighting speed and had the footwork to keep him balanced and rock steady at the same time allowing him to land powerful blow after powerful blow. Early on, he showed great sportsmanship, always helping his opponent back to his feet, and went to a neutral corner as soon as someone went down or the ref stepped in. I think he lost it when things got too much for him after realizing how badly he was being taken advantage of and seems to have lost guidance from people he trusted and depended on. After seeing him go to work in the ring, it's amazing that anyone in their right mind was willing to get in the ring with him. They were either really brave, really stupid, or really overly confident in their ability to not only throw a punch, but to take one!
Well said. When I think of Tysons career I can't help buy feel sad because he didn't live up to his potential and really prove his place amongst the all time greats even though he had the ability. He still had a great career but not on the level of the best of the best. If he had beaten Holyfield that would've gone a long way towards his legacy
EVERY 6 TO 8 MONTHS I WATCH A BUNCH OF TYSON VIDS
TWO PIECE haha me too
In so many of Tyson's fights you can spot the actual moment when the other guy figures out he doesn't want any more of Tyson.
@@norbgajevski9459 Did you really just straight copy paste another popular comment from 6 years ago? Are you that desperate for fake internet points?
@@HostileAtHeart do you really read through all these comments and remember them so that you can figure? damn you must be a sad little man
A boxer who devastates all opponents with the same style, aggression, power and speed with precision, the best of the box
Just look at Tyson's foot-movements to find better angles to deliver the knockout blows. This dude is so underestimated. A majority of boxers don't pivot like this and, stay in one spot throwing punches. A technician, indeed, this Tyson!

Who is Mike underestimated by? You?
Tyson's prime was 85-88. Lots of variables can be considered when something is in it's prime, age is just one of them. The day Don King fired Kevin Rooney In 1988 was the day Mike Tyson's career ended. The trainers Don King hired were sycophants who turned Tyson into a head hunter who was encouraged to take short cuts just because he was 'Mike Tyson'. Rooney would have never allowed Mike to Slack off like that. Out of the window went Tyson's lethal combinations, his elusiveness, his head movement, his footwork, his unbelievable work ethic, his overall discipline, fitness and not forgetting, his mental health. Mike Tyson never lost a fight with Kevin Rooney as his trainer. Don King was an evil blood sucking narcissist leech and Tyson was an extremely troubled RICH young man who was very malleable and open to manipulation. Don King KNEW this and did EVERYTHING in his power to bleed him dry.
Kevin Rooney on Tyson's Decline:
" Because Mike has had no guidance since he left me, he just does what he wants, His mind set is 'I'm the man.' But, a lot of fighters get like that. They forget the training that was there when they were just a little pup. Mike won't listen to anybody! If he felt he was in shape and needed to take off 5 or 10 pounds, he would just dry out. When I had Mike, he worked out. There was no need to dry out! He work out hard! That's what made him the best fighter and youngest heavyweight champion in the world. Mike didn't respect those guys. He knows more than them... and he knows it too. Those trainers that he's had, they don't know anything! Mike couldn't pull that shit with me. When it came to style, technique and all that, he couldn't go head to head with me. When he had those other guys, they didn't know what to tell him".
The Tyson of 85-88 is technically the BEST heavyweight there's ever been and ever will be. The combination of natural talent, his genetics, SPEED, FREAKISH POWER, WORK ETHIC, Great punch resistance, Punch leverage and amazing DEFENSE with his constant head moment will NEVER, EVER be matched. He was a MACHINE.
With the classic tyson, 85-88 (his prime) if he found you, you lose, it's that simple. In that period his defense was superior to anyone and Tyson in that young classic era had 20 rounds of stamina. Tyson barely lost a minute of any round for 4 years. He possessed the fastest muscle fiber twitching of any heavyweight since Ali.You cannot compete with that force of nature. 85-88 Tyson had the perfect balance of speed,power, stamina,conditioning, knowledge of the fight game(having watched over 2000 films of past champions) the best corner, the best fight ideology for short fighters. A concrete chin. Tyson post 88? forget it, not the same fighter, didn't train, took coke, weed, crack, you name it, not even the same person as the Motivated pre 88 Tyson who LIVED in the Gym.
Why do you think people say 'Ali OR Tyson?' and not Ali OR Lewis, Ali OR Holyfield, It's always "Ali OR Tyson" FOR A REASON.
Absolutely right
You're absolutely on point. Don king ruined Mike Tyson's career. If not for Don king ,Mike Tyson would've become the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion of all time. It was hurting to see such a talent cut short and wasted at his prime.
Emerald City /yours were the most insightful, intelligent incomplete comments about Tyson. Your analysis really touches my heart and said exactly what I feel. You’re very smart and said it correctly. Thank you
@@nakedhombre Sad when Tyson burnt 88 millions in just one year. His body was well trained, but his mind never stood a chance - he forgot where he came from!
Mike had 22kos in the 1st round plus his peak was 84 to 89 in 84 he fought 15 times Jimmy Jacobs died in 88 when Mike fought Tubbs in Tokyo he fought Holmes in 88 to & cus broke Mike down built him back up in 84 to mid 88 Mike was the happiest kid alive given his money to homeless people & the kids who had disabilities & worked with them a lot & in 86 he slept on Steve lotts couch had no car,jewelry,clothes so Steve went to put his underwear one they were all stretched out so Steve said Mike u got to get some clothes Mike says naw a don't need to spend any money that's how happy that kid was till Robin & mother came along to try steal his cash then king swooped in after Jimmy Jacobs funeral so all the hard work cus put into Mike being a good person Don king put him back into the environment Mike left to give him drugs women in way all the wrong people who were only after cash he partied more & more drugs drink anything he wanted no1 was their to say no so he was so unhappy he started to self destruct fell out of luv for boxin spent 400ml visited camille ewald his adopted mother at catskills & he was crying after all the bad stuff he had dun new he'd been ripped off & camilles last words were so true (the destruction of a young man's dreams) so blinking sad.IRON Mike the best ever.
I remember being a young kid and my father would watch every Tyson fight. I would be so excited to watch.
And it would be over in the blink of an eye🤣
A nice abbreviated compilation of Mike's fights.......
I just heard Tyson's interview on Stern which was great and I had to look up his fights. I had only seen Tyson in his later boxing years, I had no idea that he was this much of an animal. Fantastic video, Legendary boxer thank you.
I can watch and watch and watch over again ✊✊✊✊✊
I just came across this clip, I'm sitting in my hospital bed at 2am and couldn't sleep now for 2 days and I must say you helped go to sleep at the 2nd of your all time great and well put together video, I want to thank you my brother for a well deserved compliment on your work(FLAWLESS TOUCH)❤👍
Great video, thank you so much for making this, awesome footage, the ear chomp in the Holyfield rematch, and the losses, just great moments to relive. Thank you.
Peak Tyson would have beaten peak anyone. But off peak he had deep weaknesses to character. I think he would admit that himself. The most impressive thing is how Mike has reinvented himself and seems a genuine caring likable guy
Wrong. Tyson hit Holyfield with every tool in his box but Holyfield refused to fall. WhenTyson ran into bullies that bullied him first he fell apart.
Gh
To bad most people aren't genuine or caring.
I think hands down , not even close Mike Tyson is the Greatest fighter of all time

People can say all the negative things they want about Mike but you have got to admit the heavyweight division hasn't been the same since he's been gone everyone knows in Tyson's prime he would have beat any boxer from any era even some of the greatest boxers have said so just give him his credit he was amazing great video
How can anyone say "he would beat anyone" when he actually NEVER beat anyone? Il give Tyson one thing,he really dragged in people with no boxingknowledge at all to watch him,no other boxer has so many total clueless idiots following him.
@@nicklasandersson5606 stfu idiot. Boxing experts say the same thing. When he was coming up they were comparing him to the greats of the past and they still compare heavyweights with him today. It's the dumbest thing when you phone screen experts try to talk shit.

I'm a fan.. February 11 1990
He's was prime 23 years old and was dominated.
Tyson is the only boxer you can consistently hear the impacts of his punches as if he had microphones in his gloves. Even over the crowd.
MOHAMED'S BEST OF Thanks for making this! Epic cut of my favorite boxer ever...say what you want...he was the baddest man on the planet!
Thanks also :-)
The sweat off the head of Tysons opponents reaches the 9th row of the crowd when he unleashes, a good indication of a heavy hit

God and mike tyson are the only reasons I'm alive today, I'm afraid of God and Tyson gives me the inspiration to fn stand up and fight❤
He got the top at the age of 20...
I'm sorry guys, but this man is the best of all times...
Informed that to those Ali fans who think a young Tyson would lose to him.
Janette Fujiwara Ali would kill him.
Bascorasco
Definitely not, Tyson was the most aggressive and hard hitting boxer of his time and considering the fact he is high on coke appearently in some of his fights he would pose a very real threat to Ali
cran vine it's easy to look amazing when you are fighting bums and has beens like Tyson did. The second he fought quality opposition he got his ass kicked. Tyson had absolutely no character, psychologically weak, no class, no brains and no heart. Ali would mind fuck him before the fight. Tyson was a bully, he didn't stand for anything and if he fought someone who wasn't afraid of him he crumbled. Tyson is one of the most overrated fighter ever. Ali the great would destroy Tyson in 8.
Bascorasco Whoa whoa whoa, what are you talking about? Absolute madness. Bums and has beens? The competition he fought earlier in his career were far from has beens. He does have an interesting character, in recent years has reflected on his mistakes and showed considerable insight and maturity, is a true boxing historian - his knowledge of the sport is the stuff of legend praised by many iconic boxing historians thanks to Cus D'amato's teaching, he is actually quite intelligent (his break downs and play by plays of his successes and mistakes in earlier fights makes your statement false) and far from a bully. He was a competitive boxer that, yes, used intimidation (isn't the first nor will be the last) to unnerve opponents and lost his way after the death of Cus D'amato. Buster Douglas was a has been that Mike shouldn't have lost to. Mike went astray following Cus' death and allowed bums to beat him by getting involved with the wrong crowds, being manipulated and robbed by Don King. Cus D'amato was the nurturing figure that took a shy kid out of shitty circumstances that would cry when bullies killed his birds, took him in and turned him into a true boxer, but wasn't around to keep him from becoming a monster for a brief period of time. Had Cus D'amato lived longer, many argue Tyson would have held the belt for much longer. Tyson does belong up there as one of the best of all time.. Note "one" of. You like many others took his theatrics too literally, fail to realize this is a man that did his time, made mistakes and has fessed up to it - being more self deprecating and apologetic now upon reflecting on his mistakes as an older wiser individual. The current "Tyson" was always the shy kid always present in the past even during his monster days.. While I agree Ali is great, your attempted takedown of Tyson shows a true lack of respect (dare I say due to ignorance of the man's true history and informed by tabloid theatrics) of the road he walked and how far he's come.
Making rag dolls out of man since '85. To Mike!
Thanks for a great compilation! Well done.
Thank you very much also :-)
So it takes a movie length time to put together his best. What a legend.

I fucking love watching Mike Tyson fight. It's a great combination of sporting ability and entertainment. Maybe my favorite athlete of all time.
DONT FORGET KOBE !!!! MY BOY MAY HE REST IN PEACE
I love that this is all his fights... THANK YOU!

Tyson with his head movement, uppercuts, left hooks and short right hands, body punching he was lethal, if he carried on fighting in the same way, he would've been unbeatable but somehow his fighting skills have changed later on.
Against Douglas, the referee was taking his time to count when Douglas was knocked out, and saved by the bell, by then Tyson ran out of steam really.
That was the first fight I ever purchased on PPV. I thought Tyson won but the count was way off.
Thanks for sharing this was a great vid to watch, brought back some great memories from back in the day.
Yes he was the best.
Get over it.
Some Tyson haters say he didn't defeat any top champ, only ordinary boxers...
No, this is not true.
The point is that next to Tyson EVERYONE seemed run-of-the-mill fighters...
***** Who was
@Joseph if you think Tyson was just a brawler you're blind. Evander was a great fighter but overall Tyson is levels above Evander. You act like nobody knows about jabs. You know that damn near all of the fighters he went up against had a longer reach and tried using the jab to keep distance. Every fighter knew that it was over if he got inside. This is basic fucking boxing knowledge.
Only ever fought bums man was a pussy
could not knock the bedroom light man was pussy punched like a girl
Bigest legend!!!! Iron Mike Tyson! Much love from Serbia
PS. Well I hope Mike's at least happy and more in peace with himself now, when he stopped boxing than when he was on the ring. Damn - what a life, man!
Iron Mike's monstrous short hooks were hella devastating.
So was that right hand body shot-uppercut combo. He crushed dudes with that. Just devastating power in both hands!

The Marvis Frazier fight. Dropped my friends in time to see the fight, I took too long parking and missed the entire fight.
Mohammed Ali never said that he could be defeated by anyone except when he was asked about Mike Tyson.
Tyson was a beast before he went to jail, and no one ever dared to explode in the ring in front of him. His opponents always tried to calm the fight down. Many boxers like Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield only showed up after he went to jail in which he lost his skills. He will stay one of the few distinguished fighters in the history of boxing, and apparently the toughest fighter ever. PERIOD.
Headbutter was so juiced up it was unreal look at him vs buster Douglas then a few others then tyson god he was so juiced up when he used to take a beating he would cum back at u stronger as that's what peds do u recover faster

Kudos for an amazing, comprehensive compilation put together artfully! How can you not love and respect Mike Tyson, even with the hyper-aggression and unsportsmanlike behavior in the ring (although it is probably this very aggression which propelled him to the top of the mountain)? Also amazing to see how much Mike evolved as a human being post-boxing.
Рядом с тобой Привет из России Майк
Unsportsmanlike behavior? You mean like hitting opponents on the hip? Using his elbows or forearms? Using his head? Or at the end of each round trying to get himself in position to throw a shot after the bell rings? And referees consistently let him get away with it. Somehow boxing fans never held that stuff against him.
@@rudimwongozi2169 I watched the whole video. Tyson did have a bad habit of throwing shots after the bell. And the bad thing about it is that he didn't need to do that. He was going to win most of those fights anyway. But I was analyzing the Holyfield fights, and yes I know Tyson lost his mind biting Holyfield's ear, but Holyfield was headbutting the man. I suppose you can call it karma for all of Tyson's shots after the bell though. I don't know if he had a chance against Lewis anyway, but he looked like he took a lot of unnecessary punishment. He looked like he wasn't using that great ability he had to evade punches. I don't think his heart was even in boxing at that point.

Plus, when they get in the ring, Tyson's looking at them like a lion eyeing a gazelle on the Serengeti. Go back and look at the referee giving instructions before the Tyson-McNeely fight. Mike looks like he's about to eat McNeely.
@@jonfred9675 oh shut up with that crap, who was he supposed to fight? You idiot.
Mike was a beast with that double left and right hook and uppercut or vice versa! Killer combination!
Tyson didn't even come to fight Buster Douglas. That entire fight he looked as if he was somewhere else. And, Holyfield was headbutting the Hell out of Tyson lol. At the end of the day Tyson should have stuck to the peek-a-boo style that Cus taught him because no one had an answer for it. Once he began to tweek it, his downfall began. However, from the 7th through 37th fight he could beat any fighter in history...Ali included.
swag swag, yolo!
I think I remember in his documentary he said that was a period everything was going wrong in his personal life.
He should have stayed with Kevin Rooney too, had Cus just lived 5 more years boxing history would be written very different
Also, Ali himself said he couldn't have beaten Tyson!!! That speaks VOLUMES for Ali to say that!!!
Go Getter spot on well said!

much agree
In his prime, Tyson had the speed of a middleweight and the punching power of a heavyweight.

90% of the fighter is bigger than him but knock most of them down
There were almost THREE Tysons,the one Rooney trained ,The Decline pre-prison was 2nd then POST Prison the 3rd.The First Tyson was awesome,one of the greats,the 2nd was a man in turmoil who won by his power,until he didnt train for Buster(whom he KO'D in reality)then the post prison Mike was a shadow of his former self.SAD .You were GREAT MIKE
I reckon it was the alcohol or possibly drugs. He didnt seem to be the have the same animal instinct towards the end.

Mike Tyson: greatest knock-out puncher of all time and never forget it
His footwork and Balance is the best ever...always in line to punch
Always....
2:40 I wonder what reaction Michael Buffer would have had if someone told him that night that 35 years later, he’d be interviewed by Mike on his podcast while Mike sat around getting high and that it would have over 785,000 views on peoples’ phones and computers.
OK, *this* is the fight I remember watching years ago when Tyson knocked out his opponent while he was in full guard position. It was Tyson Vs Benjamin and you can see it at 8:10 . Boxers typically guard themselves to rest and buy time. It is almost unheard of for a boxer to be literally knocked completely out while keeping his head under his arms for protection. This is a testament to Tysons power but also his incredible skill to get his devastating punches to land in between and around Benjamin's arms. Absolutely amazing.
ZPĺ
Tyson was a hard-punching quick-moving little guy that hit with authority and was probably the best fighter pound for pound there had been for a long time and if he had kept his eye on his boxing and hadn't got into trouble would have been the greatest boxer of all time. I think he was the greatest. What a record.
In so many of Tyson's fights you can spot the actual moment when the other guy figures out he doesn't want any more of Tyson.
Exactly.
I didn't Notice that moment in either of the Tyson/Holyfield fights.
@scarface 38 That's calling the kettle black.
Tyson was a dirty fighter.
Bit Holyfield and tried to Break the arm of the guy from Ireland.
You know, the guy who Tyson refused to continue fighting.
The guy who retired Tyson...
The White Man, remember?
@scarface 38 9l
And usually Tyson was angry at the refs for making him finish guys off. He was really upset about the referee making him finish off Larry Holmes he had a lot of respect for him.
20:33 His skills are incredible.
Yeah, his defense and head movement get overlooked quite a bit because his punching power takes center stage. He used to make guys miss a lot and if they got off balance or left their hands down, he was on em.
I've never seen a boxer use the hook better then Mike
