      I feel the exact same. He is such an amazin human being. I'm sure this sounds crazy to people especially whoever read this ghat doesnt know me but the similarities and how much i can relate to him, not at all physically or what hes accomplished, but what he went through, his personality, the love he had for the people around him. All the good he did for people and even people he looked up to that ended up taking advantage of him.. from him losing the closest people to him one after another, all these things i can relate to.
      Im so happy he has his life together and alot of people are just now seeing what a genuine, down to earth, loving person he is

      I dunno if you can say that at that point in his life, Tyson was all over the place. Now I'd say he is showing the person he really is, fighting for charities etc. I think boxing made him into someone he didn't like, as soon as he quit you could see how much more at ease with life he was.

      It wasn't boxing so much as the death of Cus D'Amato and how Don King and Co corrupted Mike. He went from being a well spoken disciplined fighter who kept out of trouble, to being a monstrous man capable of terrible things to man and woman alike. Mike doesn't like the guy he was back then, but that person wasn't just him, it was everyone around him bringing out the worst through drugs and egoism. His boxing started to get worse at that time also, as a result of everything else in his life.

    The best thing about Mike Tyson is his vulnerability.
    He's always been so open and truthful about his life, his strengths and his weaknesses.
    To be a man that no one could call un-macho, but who's willing to admit what most "macho" men won't about himself, makes him courageous on a whole other level.
    I know that he's maybe the greatest boxer to date, but it's his inner strength that fascinates me!

The guy came out and started yelling at mike's wife then went and yelled at the guy who rear ended him, mike just got out of the car and beat them both up, kicking one of them in balls and punching the other.
      He ended up getting charges pressed against him, settled out of court with the guys he beat up, payed them a decent amount, but ended up still getting sentenced to like 2 years or something, Mike did about 4 months in prison before JFK jr, who Mike was personal friends with, bailed him out by calling his cousin who was governor at the time.

    The best and most powerful and ferocious boxer I have ever seen. Just his presence invokes fear. And with all his has done and been thru in his life he becomes better as a person everyday. Truly a great man I love and admire the Champ. IRON MIKE👍

    People claim most folks don’t give him enough credit for his intelligence but I don’t think that’s true at all. Anyone who has ever listened to the guy for more than a couple of minutes always remarks how deep he’s always been. Most people who know ANYTHING about him knows how truly articulate and thoughtful he really IS. He’s still one of the most respected men in boxing and in life in general. And still VERY relevant. Amazing human being.

    Arsenio's style is natural, respectful, and humanistic. It's not forced on any specific agenda or to increase ratings (which is probably why it didn't get as big as Leno, Letterman, Oprah or Ellen).

      yea,when he started getting hit,,,it's like he couldn't focus...his corner would alway scream "put ur hands up"!!! and he would put his gloves up and it would save him a few times...a lot of fighters get to be in their primes around 30-40 now...Mike did so much training early on in his early teens and late teens..by the time he was 27 you could tell he was getting mentally burnt out and then using it as excuses...

      Mmm, considering that all he does now is live off his name that would have never had any meaning to anyone if it was't for Cuz Damato that's a bold statement.

    • @MrPuml
      @MrPuml 3 роки тому

      @Framework333 Well you can believe that as much as you want. From what I;ve seen, Mike is only making any money (and probably only alive) bc D'amato took care of him and showed him how to box. Take away that and Mike would have been nothing more than an average dude with a few more muscles.. Heck, he even threw it all away shortly after D'amato and Jacob etc died. Sad for him but really, Mike was lucky...
