" when i watch Tyson he is good, but he is no Muhammad Ali" Ali quote
Anyone who thinks Tyson would have a chance is a fucking idiot. Tyson built a career beating bums and old men.
notdrunk_enough boxing fans that truly know boxing know that isn’t true, he fought many of the best that time, however I agree Muhammad Ali would win Tyson
ben1ben2ben1 dont disrespect tyson hes a legend and one of the best ever but he wouldnt stand a chance against ali
Ali wins. Mike is my favorite fighter but Ali was simply to good for him. "One punch and Ali is in a coma" are you serious right now? Ali took some of the hardest punchers ever thrown inside a boxing ring and just smiled, he had the strongest core ever, you couldn't hurt him to the body, he very rarely got dropped, but whenever he did get dropped he got straigh back up, he never got kod even when he was old and washed and brain damaged he was fighting prime 25 year olds and they couldn't come close to koing him. he was the greatest.
Like i said mike is my favourite fighter so i'm well aware of his history, yes he was a monster puncher but he wouldn't of landed on a young Ali and even if he did, Ali had a monster chin. Watch Tysons fight with james tillis in 1986, Tillis copied Ali's style and gave Tyson a hard 10 round fight. If that was a prime or even past prime Ali in there with tyson instead of tillis, tyson woulda got shcooled.
He always gets so emotional when talking about Ali. His voice starts getting raspy and he sounds like he's about to cry.
Arr Jee same with pac
Life weren't easy for a black man in their time. I think mike reveres ali because he knows ali had it harder than him.
@@robertlangdon494 not about being a black man. He gets the same way for Cus.
Real men arent afraid to cry.
@@robertlangdon494 you know why racism wont go away? Because race is constantly being brought up. I dont look at mike and see a black man. I look at mike and see a man.
Prime Mike vs Prime Ali would be the greatest fight of all time. Respect for legends.
We already got that with Ali/Frazier fights... All 3 in fact.
@@Excalibur2112 I don't think so. Tyson was different than Frazier. For me Tyson was better. So prime Ali vs Prime Mike would be baddest fight.
Sorry but Tyson in 1980s would finish Ali.
@@waleodukoya5704 lol how the fuck tyson will finish ali yeah tyson got power to punch but ali defences speed is so next level
Bob Odukoya in dreams when Ali was even not in his prime about 32 years old he beat formon who was 40-0 what are u talking about Ali stamina was to much amd speed and have great power tyson have only power he would never beat ali
IF you want to see Tyson cry, just bring an ALI conversation to him, he will show you respect and love to ALI. gets emotional! It is true admire
every time.
Word
Ali or Tupac Tyson always gets emotional respect 💯
Cus D'mato tho
Or Cus, or Tupac or his daughter (RIP all of them)
Mikes respect for Ali is through the roof. Class act
It was really Ali, who inspired Mike to be a boxer. They spoke a few times when Tyson was a kid, and remained friends.
I like to see his admiration for Muhammed.
yeah...I saw the way mike was just dazed and in awe of ali's skill. mike made a good point - ali would keep going because he hated losing. he had the grace and looks of a male model but the fighting spirit of a t-rex! awesome description from mike Tyson!
+Ninjacatprincess Yea, boxing was different in those days.
Man he got give me respect man my name is Muhammad Ali I am the greatest of all time
I'm not sure Mike Tyson and "class act" belong in the same sentence, but at least he's giving proper respect here.
"He'll take you to deep waters and drown you"..that quote still give me chills. Ali's mental toughness was the true reason for his greatness, in the ring and outside of it
"He's like a tyrannosaurus rex with a pretty face" - one of the best analogies ever
"he'll take you into deep waters and drown you" -shows you how good he thought he was
4:48 _"He's just mean and evil, and he'll take you in deep waters and drown you."_
Damn.
That was poetry
As a fighter Tyson is probably looking at it like "I'm a nice guy about it, I'll knock you out within 3 rounds and it's over." "I put you out of your misery fast". But Ali will beat you up into much later rounds (deep water) AND THEN he'll knock you out (drown you). From Mike's perspective that's mean and evil.
@@jonathanblaze1648 nice interpretation
@@jonathanblaze1648 yeah
He's not wrong. Ali was also a very smart boxer and knew how to get under the skin of his opponents.
A perfect description of Ali's style by Tyson - "it's not muscle memory.. It's concentration, it's him doing it."
After watching this i have nothing but RESPECT for Tyson!

Mayweather needs to take a lesson from Tyson. Respect your predecessors. They are the ones who laid the foundation for boxing. When Mayweather said he's better than Ali, I lost all respect for him.

Like Mike says it ain't his boxing that beats you, Ali is a man that refuses to lose that makes him the greatest

Found it!!! You put it together

@@MrPuml Ali was fighting more than Frazier that night and don't forget that Joe spent a month in the hospital after that fight.

I got them too 👍🏽
Kinda almost brings a tear to my eye just watching it.
Me too!! I was watching this and felt a shiver down my spine! Ali is a God and Tyson his loyal disciple.
Rap around Productions cause Ty is/was and always will be a student of the art we call boxing.
Well said Ritesh. !!
Mike has changed so much
He has found peace
He is happy
Watch the interviews of him when he was young staying next to his legendary coach Cus D'amato. He talks so calm and peaceful.
But the bad people such as Robin Givens or Don King that snake who came after the death of his coach ruined his personality. Plus we should not forget what the media labeled Mike as ... they always attacked Tyson.
Long story short: He was nice and friendly ... he became an "animal" ... and became again what he really is a intelligent friendly person.

"A Tyrannosaurus Rex with a pretty face". Those words could have come straight from the lips of a young Ali.Tyson is great in this.
goatboytone1 ...Except for the T-Rex [Smile].
Really good with words
“I’m vein, I know I’m great, but in situations like this, all heads must bow and all tongues must confess, this man is the greatest of all time”
-Tyson to Ali
"I, by no means, I'm saying, I know I'm great, but can i tell you something? In this situation every head must bow, every tongue must profess, Muhammad is the greatest of all time"*
-Tyson to Arsenio Hall, about Ali
RGBY2003 ...vain*
A 32 year old Muhammed Ali defeated a 24 year old Geaorge Forman. Forman was undefeated at the time, 40 wins 0 losses 37 knock-outs. Forman is considered the strongest puncher of all time. How can you people say Tyson would defeat a 20 year old Ali???
***** Your whole comment is invalid because no one has a style even SIMILAR to Ali.
***** To answer your question Yes and No. Bo Jackson, Butkis, Sayers, Lambert, Green, Tatium, Barry Sandders, Dion Sannders, NightTrain Lane, J.Brown, Montana, Stalback, Chamberline, Maracvich, Jordon, Bird, Magic J, Dr J, Robbinson, Mchale, Hakkeem O, Charles B., etc...would definetly be dominate.
Better racketts, shoes, swimwear, steroids, bicycles, etc...are benefits of modern athletes.
Even Dempsey at 190 would dominate 95% of todays hws.
***** That's because of old footage. Gayle Sayers had excellent movement, Butkis was good at cutting off the field, tackling, and intercepting. NightTrain was a master at the bump and run with a speed power and skill. Maravich is top 10 all around player, great shooter, passer, and dribbler. Wilt was smaller than Shaq but he was a better all around athlete. Sorry not a big tennis fan but I imagine wooden rackets are much more difficult.
***** No Kuz you are not wrong. When Cus D Amato and Kevin Rooney in his corner MT was absolutely a relentless stalker and smasher. Cus knew how to beat anybody, and it was he who tipped Muhammad Ali on how to beat George Foreman in particular. Cus saw the weaknesses of Ali which in their first fight Joe Frazier was able to capitalize on. If that would have been MT in the ring with Cus behind him Ali would have been crushed. Mike with again Cus and Kevin in his corner in any era would have been dominate as all hell. The 1985-1989 MT was at his most dangerous and a 20 something Mike vs Ali would have been epic. Mike however, would have killed Ali inside of 7 rounds.
Them slow ass punches Forman was throwing Ali could see every punch he threw ....... anybody who boxed or know hows to box knows it's the punch you don't see that puts you on your ass ........ so do a little research before you say something stupid again ..........

Metaphorically speaking!!!!!!!!
Before the end, Ali could find the will and the strength to come on in the 13th through the 15th round. Deep water and drown the opponent is very accurate. Thanks, Iron Mike
It's pretty easy to get what Tyson was saying. He kept bringing up Ali's endurance by saying how he kept fighting even when he was "dead" in the 14th round. What Tyson was trying to say is that Ali's endurance coupled with his lightning speed would be something Tyson could not match. When he says "He'll take you to deep water and drown you" it's like he's saying Ali would just keep you going and wear you down, and THAT'S something Tyson couldn't beat.
Also his heart. He would never quit.
i agree ! when we express so much admiration for someone's quality that means fondamentlaly that we don t have it because it is obvious. it imposes us immedialty a deep humility to know that we are not perfect and that others got it
Riga T. True analysis brother intellecta
At the same time when you have someone like Tyson in his prime, one punch is all it takes to win the fight. Not saying he'd win, but if he surprised Ali he could knock him out. He'd have more than a puncher's chance.
Riga T. TYSON WOULD OF KNOCKED ALI OUT ,ALI is the greatest but PHYSICS is PHYSICS TYSON at 20and ali at 20TYSON all the way.
Mike will always show respect to Ali, he looked up to Ali from the beginning.
Mike’s respect for Ali is a trait that is so sorely missed today. There is something to be said about honoring those who came before you. You don’t always have to kill the past to be the future.
VERY WELL SAID.THERES ALWAYS SOMETHING TO LEARN FROM THE ONES BEFORE YOU.WHEN PEOLPE DONT HONOR THE WORK OF THE ONES BEFORE,THEY ARE ARROGANT AND STUPID.TYSON HAS BECOME A WISE MAN.
Great closing comment !!!
I became a little emotional watching Tyson talk great about Ali. BIG RESPECT FOR TYSON!!!
Respect to Iron Mike. He is on the verge of tears near the end when talking about Ali being so special.
Why do you deserve respect for crying? Every child can cry.
Why are people arguing in the comments, when Tyson clearly says in the video that no one can beat Ali? You goddamn people...
TheMDV lmao exactly! Mike is so humble now. Beautiful.
TheMDV Exactly.
Quilliam Attari he's been saying this even when he was boxing.
TheMDV Holmes and Frazier did..
TheMDV If Tyson says it thats final!
Tyson always gives the utmost respect to the legends who came before him. A humble guy underneath it all.
I don't know Mike, you were so unstoppable in your prime that we used to hope to see more than 3 rounds! But you're right Ali was something out of this world.
Chris Clayburn agree
Yeah, we had to deal with less then 3 rounds but wanting more for years. Even everyone just wanting to get their moneys worth for his pay per views but most of the times left feeling robbed. Everyone kept paying though. lol... His knockouts just happened to damn swiftly to feel comfortable paying for those pay per views. The thought was "I have to pay $60 for a max 9 min fight? Screw that. 10 min before the fight...Take my money" Haha that's one way of remembering how Mike stayed in "Beast Mode" for a long time.
James Quick Tillis went 10 rounds!
I’m a 50 year old man with Ali as his hero. I always choke up when I hear Iron Mike talk about the Great One.
Tyson have so much Respect for Ali .... it was clear That he Said :„ You cant Beat Ali he is the Greatest of all Time“ what a Men Tyson is !!! Respect👊🏽🙏🏽
True Tyso expressed love respect for Ali
"He was like a Tyrannosaurus rex with a pretty face. He just mean & evil he'll take you to deep waters and drown you" 👀
Love it
So much love for Ali !!! Man I can feel it, tears coming up when he speaks about him ... Ali was not just a boxer ! He was a free man who stood for what's right !!! He stood against war and got stripped off his title !!! He is what we call a true legend !!
Wonderful to see a champ like Tyson give all props to Ali. He did break down Ali's style a bit, that only shows the depth of Tyson's analytical skills when it comes to boxing.
Tyson has known Ali since growing up, Tyson's adoptive father was good friends with Ali and when Tyson was 14 years old Ali lost to Frazier and called Tyson and Tyson told Ali, "When Im big Im gonna get Frazier back for you" So when Tyson was 20 years old he did, he beat Frazier.
Wow, you really sound like you know what you are talkig about. It was Larry Holmes the easton assassin dude. Know your shit

@@thesouth8714 ...When Frazier defeated Ali on March 8th, 1971, Tyson was almost five years old. When Ali defeated Frazier on January 28th, 1974, Tyson was almost eight years old.

@@adon31997 ...Correct!!! The Easton Assassin was out of synch and shape. The latter was out the ring for two years, and should have given himself more time in order to fight Michael Gerard Tyson.

beautiful analysis..
James D.H. that sounds dumb him giving a f*** or not wouldn't determine if it would work against him
James Humbert if George couldnt do that then nobody could
Allfa FeNiX George was a beast but mindfulness was never he’s strong-suit, Frazier had Ali though.
Everything Tyson did was intimidation and it was very effective. Tyson knows it would not have worked on a young Ali.
Ali was faster , Mike was stronger . RIP The Greatest
Ali was smarter and more versatile in how he viewed combat.
Ali wasn't faster in terms of punching he only had faster footwork
+XSnowStorm13X If we're talking about Ali aka Cassius Clay from the 60s, that Ali was fast...fought like a middleweight.
+Joe Lazarus I agree he was fast really but although he had probably the best movement of any heavyweight his punches(just punches not footwork or headmovement) weren't as fast as tysons.The reason for this is that Alis stance was really anorthodox compared to Tysons pica bou guard which enabled him to strike very fast.
XSnowStorm13X Ali, quite frankly, would be a nightmare for Tyson. Tyson's biggest flaw was his mental stamina. Tyson's brute strength and speed only worked against 10 round fighters that weren't nowhere near Ali's skills or talent.
He just had too much character for Tyson.
4:48 "He's just mean and evil and he'll take you to deep waters and drown you. He's very special."
the most impressive thing tyson said when analyzing himself vs ali was that he said ali's actions and punches were not muscle memory but ali himself doing the fighting. now thats saying something when you think about how much reflexes and muscle memory is used especially in a sport such as boxing. lets you appreciate just how great ali was. still think these two are the two best ever
yea man. I'm a huge Ali fan and always thought of him as just a great technical boxer with an insane mentality..but after watching this only 1 year ago it made me re-asses and see a total different fighter in ali that only boxers themselves can understand. Simply as Mike put it...Ali was a fucking beast.
matt8863 i remember all the punches i have thrown after a fight, you can't lose yourself in the moment, you have to be focussed
Mike has a terrific personality. He's truly a blessed human being. Much love to Iron Mike and Ali the greatest ❤️
I love the respect Tyson shows for Ali, and for that very reason, that's what makes Tyson one of the greatest, his knowledge for the game, the studying of old boxers, Cus wanted to make a wrecking machine and he got that in Mike, he made the complete fighter, speed, aggression, elusive, power, the wisdom he taught him, Tyson was tailor made to beat Ali, did Norton have the power of Tyson? no, did Frazier have the speed of Tyson? no, yet both these men beat Ali, yet neither of these men had the aggression, combos or anywhere near as elusive as Tyson was either, as much as i love Ali for what he accomplished inside and outside the ring, I think Ali would have serious, serious trouble with Mike, more than any other fighter he met in his glorious career, both legends, would of been a great fight...deep waters and drown you, beautifully put.
Harry Callahan I agree. It's not so clear cut to say ali would beat tyson hands down. Out of 10 fights it would be like 6 to ali and 4 to tyson, juts coz of ali's intelligence and elusiveness. A young tyson could knock out anyone on the planet, even marciano would struggle if 1 of hos power punches landed
What are you talking about wisdom tyson has no brains hè is a good fighter oke But even is smarter than you to say hè can beat mohamed ali.mohamed ali is a smart guy hè would have won from tyson only with his mind games tyson is a easy prey
Harry Callahan Foreman? cmon. i love Tyson too. but lets be serious, power is irrelevant to this conversation. Foreman is definitely one of the strongest boxers , punchers of all time and Ali handled him well past prime.
adil115 foreman didn't have any of the speed or amazing boxing skill that Tyson had though.
adil115 Foreman showed Ali no respect either. He though he'd win easy. A tyson in his prime was hungry, fast, powerful and boxed smart
A genuine student of the game... Mike's knowledge and respect for his predecessors is one of the many reasons why the people love and respect him despite his imperfections... a true champion 🏆
Tyson,Respecting Muhammad Ali?..I Love How he Aged!..I Respect this Man Now!
he always had respect for ali. if you watched the interview with ali, sugar ray leonard, and mike tyson on the arsenio hall show back in 89 (i think it was 89) arsenio hall asked them both who would win in a fight. tyson said, and i quote, "i know i'm great but in this situation every head must bow and every tongue must confess, he's the greatest of all time."
Well said jimai808!
It's not how he aged. He said it himself, it was all just how he projected himself. He had to project that he was the greatest, doesn't mean he didn't respect other fighters internally.
What a great interview, Seeing Mike talk about Ali was incredible, the man is literally one of the greatest to ever fight and still humbled by Ali. Respect
"He's like a T-rex with a pretty face. He's just mean and evil. He'll take you to deep water and drown you." Damn, the way Tyson just gets lost when he's describing Ali is amazing to watch. Tyson's humbled out a lot. Still scary as hell, though. You get the feeling he could snap at any moment and kill you.
I agree totally. I appreciate his respect for Ali but Tyson is a scary mother even still!
Such a humble man and very smart if you listen to him talk such a high IQ and vocabulary nothing but respect for the greatest
The emotion in his admiration for Ali the boxer, can you imagine the guy almost brings a man like Iron Mike to tears
Respect
Feck me....still cant believe he has died, he wasn't just the greatest boxer that's ever been...he was the best sportsman that's ever been! R I P
probably the best sportsman to ever live in the modern era. I have said this often...great sportspeople transcend the sport itself. you become a part of pop culture and you're respected for things outside sport itself.I remember watching ali as a little kid. even though girls weren't allowed to participate in rough sports in my family - I still watched because ali brought something more to sports than punches.
Tyson didn’t die bitch
@@mr.t658 I assume you're joking but he's referring to Ali lol
LoganM942 Hell no, don’t you dare Sherlock!
I agree. Best sportsman and biggest personality.
Real fans of boxing, people who truly understand the sport know Ali beats Tyson.
So true. The people saying Tyson would knock him out are all kids who have probably never even seen Ali fight.
Hands down!! Ali would rope a dope him and Tyson would tire out and Ali would go to work on him.
I agree because Ali even fought really strong and big guys that people thought he would lose to. Ali always proved people wrong. He always walked his talk and that is why so many people are inspired by him.
muhammed ali is just wow wow wow if you really understand boxing you gonna say just wow when you watch him fighting
Chaos Child
Not sure. I can see Tyson being the one with more damage, as it goes. Similar to what he looked like after the Lewis fight from all the straight punches he took. Ali I think would have not taken as many as we think. We are talking about prime Ali, right? No. Tyson hardly touches him. I don't believe his ring generalship was as good as Frazier.
Man Tyson really adores Ali... At the end he looked like a kid with tears in his eyes as if he was talkin about God
he was talking about god
What happens to Tyson when Ali is mentioned is a pure state of humbleness ... he becomes like a child cheering his father ... what a great attitude !
According to Tyson " Nobody can beat Ali" ...... That's the level of respect❤️🙌✊
0:54 you can see his whole mood change and that he wasn’t proud of that moment
I never knew much about tyson, but to watch videos of him from his youth vs videos of him now just astounds me.
Tyson is one scary dude, but if Tyson thinks he would loose to Ali, and Ali was always in a pretty good mood, then Ali must be one terrifying human being to get pissed off.
Ali would tear you apart if u really pissed him off. Took alot to get to him.
Lol... Ali is pretty hard to get pissed off.... and Tyson sees him as One kinda evil freak, that's why he said, the fights are unpredictable,
Ali’s style wasn’t about intimidation though. He was all about getting under the skin of his opponents and tiring them emotionally before the fight. If you want to see a master of intimidation and scare tactics who was probably a more dangerous human being then Ali then you should check out Sonny Liston. Liston was someone both Tyson and Foreman tried to emulate in the ring. Foreman sparred with Liston many times and always said that he was the most intimidating presence he’s ever witnessed in the ring.
Afzal Rahman I can assure you that none of those fighters were intimidated by Ali. George Foreman and Sonny Liston were probably frustrated by him more than anything but Frazier was like kryptonite to Ali. Ali never had an easy fight against Joe Frazier and the night they fought in Manila took such a toll on them both that Ali said he thought he was going to die. Intimidation is Tyson vs Spinks, Spinks was so scared of Tyson that he lost that fight before it ever started.
I really love this interview. It shows how intelligent and introspective Mike is. It also shows that he has spent time educating himself, and that he values knowledge.
The most interesting and thrilling fight of all time would be a 64-67 prime Ali versus a 86-89 prime Tyson. They each have the perfect style to counter the others. To give a prime Tyson problems, you would have to be extremely quick, evasive, agile and have a stamina tank off the charts to keep moving for the whole fight. To give prime Ali problems, you would have to be very skilled at providing relentless pressure and closing the distance.
The love between Mike and Ali was something for the ages. So much respect between these two legendary champions. It brings a tear to my eye everytime i see it.
Absolute legend talking about his idol 🙌🏽
I get goosebumps whenever
I hear Mike talk about Ali!
#legendary!
I admire that statement of Tyson about Ali "everything we have he supersedes it even our arrogance and ego" .that truly shows Tyson is not just fighting dog but deep thinker and sort of philosopher.
Love the man even more since hearing him pay such great respect to the real boss
Sergi Rufi REAL agree
Sergi Rufi REAL proud to b muslim and pakistani
Towards the end Tyson was in tears talking about Ali and his greatness. Amazing
Ali and Tyson were both marvelous fighters to watch in there day
Mike is truly a poet at heart...
A poor man's poet maybe...
Jacqueline Robinson ...No, he wasn't. Muhammad Ali was boxing's greatest poet, and original self promoter, PERIOD!!!
Ali would win (this is gonna be unpopular) but this is why I think this way.
Tyson's chin was always questionable, and Ali could take some of the hardest punchers we've ever seen's punches (Shavers, Foreman). If Tyson is fighting prime Ali, that means he's capable of the sort of things he did to Brian London. Just watch that fight if you think Ali is over-rated.
This shit gonna make some people cry but if George Foreman cannot knock Ali out, Mike Tyson cannot because he doesn't hit harder than Foreman, prime Ali was flawless, such speed, power, finesse and technique.
I agree 110% Thank you. Thats my point.
***** Ali wouldn't be intimidated by Tyson, Tyson may have hit harder than Frazier but Foreman hits harder than them combined, and Ali outboxed him completely, we're talking about the same Mike Tyson who avoided a 45+ year old Foreman, who Ali beat in his prime.
***** The fact of the matter is this, Mike Tyson didn't really know how to handle a fighter who knew how to take him past round 6 and could work off the jab, Ali's speed and (not excluding Ali had one of the best chins heavyweight boxing has seen), would mean the fight would almost definitely go past there. Alot of people use Tyson's power as the reason for why he would beat Ali (since it would be the only chance he would have of winning) but they don't realise, Ali was never ever stopped in his career, and he was never knocked out, the Joe Frazier knock down on him in 71 I think was one of the cleanest hooks I've seen and Ali got back up within seconds, I don't think Tyson has much of a power advantage over Frazier/Liston, and he definitely doesn't have Foremans power, that's why I don't see him knocking Ali out.
Tyson was indeed an amazing fighter but Ali proved time and time again that he had the skill-set to beat a power puncher with his jab and rope-a-dope techniques.
Lest we forget, we never saw Ali's true prime, Ali was banned for 4 years which would of been his prime, he would of been at his mental and physical peak.
Ali also fought the best heavyweight fighters boxing has ever seen, Tysons opponents were of a much lesser calibre.
For the millionth time. Tyson did not hit ''hard'' as such. I mean he did, but he wasn't one of the hardest hidders like Shavers etc. - It was his combinations, notably body > head that knocked guys out. He hit them in such a way in such a place with such a combination of punches as to knock them out.
Combined with his speed and head movement that allowed him to get close with those short little arms and deliver uppercuts and hooks from very close range in very fast power combinations.
Tyson didn't hit nearly as hard as the top tier of hard hitters like Foreman, Shavers, possibly Lyle etc.
*****
I think to an extent you and me are saying the same thing, it's just that I disagree with you about it being due to power. Personally I think it's more technique, and yes, speed in Tyson's case. Perhaps you have a point about the speed thing. Speed equals power. Ok, I'll meet you on that.
Tyson didn't hit harder than say Foreman but he hit faster and perhaps with better technique. People forget that Tyson was actually a very very good technical boxer with very good punching technique and head movement, as I'm sure you're aware.
One of Tyson's techniques as well was to hit body then head. A great KO technique. He was especially adept at this.
there a few fighters that have studied Ali as extensively as Mike has... if he says he couldent beat Ali when both were in their prime then il take his word for it.
" hed take you out to deep water and drown you " --Mike Tyson on M. Ali --
Respect Tyson for the way he respects Ali, gets emotional all the time. He was really intimidating and all back in the day but you can see he is just a good soul..
Thank you@@nadine4062 I appreciate it. Best wishes
I am humbled and my respect for Tyson soars through the roof when he submits himself to the specialness of Muhammad Ali. I personally think Tyson could have beaten Ali. I mean he really stood a chance. More than a chance, but the humility is just FUCKING AMAZING, and I am in awe. A great lesson for me in my life.
Ali would have eaten Tyson up. Mike can't fight inside. He never learned. Ali would pick him apart.
go fuck yourself...stupif fuck
Ali went 15 rounds after a 3 1/2 year layoff not in his prime with a prime joe Frazier ..no Tyson would not beat ali
tyson got respect
not like that ignorant mayweather
and wilder
I've seen Mayweather show Mike Tyson respect
SnookDaddy772 hes talking about mayweather disrespecting ali. Youve really gotta be something to defeat ali. Hed die before he loses you know what i mean?
@@shepherdoffire9263 if it would had been Ali Vs Mayweather or Tyson Vs Mayweather...one round and Mayweather is done.
Affanmax Tv well obviously it’s a different weight class lmao it wouldn’t be fair mayweather is one of the best but comparing him to a different weight class is just ignorant
Tyson has so much respect for Ali so he just wants to stay humble but I think Tyson could actually give Ali a good run. Tyson in is prime was nothing short of the best.
He was too short. That's what fucked Tyson against GOOD tall fighters he washes them. Against ELITE taller fighters, he's giving up way to much length. And I think we all agree Ali was elite. Now I'd pay to see prime Tyson vs prime Foreman, I think That fight ends within 3 or 4 rounds with both them swinging for the fences, and a more talented Tyson coming out on top.
+APDaBaron Ali was definitely the better fighter, I just love how aggressive Tyson was and how brutal and quick he beat people
I believe Tyson idolizes Ali......like some idolize Tyson *coughguiltycough*.
Hes got to believe his idol is the best.
Tyson was a FAAAAR more skilled boxer than Ali. His skills were so perfected.
You REALLY could see all his training paying off in the ring. There is not one prime Tyson fight that was boring to watch because Tyson skill, style and ease with which he finished his opponent was so.........pfff.........
+MGT oh yeah definitely you can just see how much he looks up to Ali. Prime Tyson is probably the scariest man to walk this earth
No, Tyson at his peak, outside his troubled years of jail, drugs and trainer dying, would flatten Ali, Tyson had everything at his peak, he had the cardio, he had evasiveness, his punch would knock Alis head off, and Tyson would psych Ali out. It would be over for Ali in the 5th round, a knockout by Tyson
You ain't a real Ali fan if talking about his life doesn't make you emotional. He was God manifested in human form. He was just made of MAGIC.. As Tyson says, Ali was a GIANT!! A KING!! A LEGEND!!
He was god????.... You tripping
God doesn’t get Parkinson’s.
everyone keeps forgetting that, we never got to see ali's prime. he was out of boxing during his prime years. (27-30)
May allah swt grant muhammed ali jannat ul firdous.
Amen
amenn
no its Jesus
+Dre Logan51 Jesus spoke Aramaic, and the word for God is ALLAHA
+H. A. Khan ok
Mike knew Ali would have taken every punch he could throw...and still be coming at him. He knew he would never give up. This was never Mike's idea of a fight.
Yep. Stubborn mf's have always been Tyson's krytonite eg holyfield
Mike Tyson always says Muhammad Ali would beat him, and Muhammad Ali always said Mike Tyson would beat him.
Bob Barker yes but i thing Ali will win like against formon who was 40-0 and Ali was 32 years old but still beat him Ali was way to clever and fast
when Muhammad Ali said Mike Tyson would beat him, who are we to argue with that?
Ib7 h how is that a excuse dumbass
Sean Stranger he said “if he can catch me” that’s a big IF
Ali said that on comedy show.
Casual fans, go ask real boxing fans who would win. If you hear Tyson 1 in 10 times I would be shocked. Prime Ali devastates prime Tyson. He would box circles around him. Tyson had trouble with ordinary heavyweights, let alone ones that could jab. If you're not a boxing fan, and you're a tyson fan, please do not try to make predictions about matches like this. You haven't the slightest clue how incredibly good Ali was in the 60's. No one has matched his skill before or since.
Lukeor - Tyson is his prime fought no-one. Besides a 40 year old Larry Holmes. And a light heavyweight Michael Spinks who was terrified. Mike Tyson isn’t even Top 10 heavyweight level
@@christopheranderson8875 ...Hi, James! Did see my comments regarding the Tysonites? Incredible isn't it? The truth came out of horse's mouth! SMH!
Bruce Scott - Absolutely. Mike Tyson’s aggression only worked if his opponents as scared. When they weren’t afraid it didn’t work. Look how Buster Douglas won pretty much every round. If we ignore the knockdowns Buster would’ve won on points.
Bruce Scott - There’s an EXTREME TYSONITE who goes by the username of "cmoneytheman". He’s very active on a video by BOXING Channel. He truly believes Mike Tyson hit harder than George Foreman. We should sort him out.
Mike is my favorite boxer of all time and this is one of the reasons why, he is humble and knows what to say and when to say it. Now with that being said I love all of the people that are saying that Mike fought nobody's.... you can't blame him for being better than everyone else... during that Era there weren't many heavyweights that could stand with him in a ring, he was a different animal all together
Bro
NOMAD BLAQ what's good brotha!
Needed help with some ideas for a song. I posted on my page
What are you talking about? He fought complete scrubs and they still took him the distance. Mitch Green, Bonecrusher Smith... James Tillis in a scheduled 10 round fight that Tyson would have clearly lost in 12 rounds... and these are some of the worst boxers in boxing history. Tyson even fought for the IBF belt against a guy with a broken wrist Tony Tucker... and Tucker took Tyson the distance with one hand. And this was all a ''prime'' Tyson. Maybe you should just stick to music, because boxing clearly isn't your thing. I'm surprised you're not drooling over Deontay Wilder with his gaudy record of KO'ing a bunch of scrubs.
Ana Costellano so I'm guessing that Larry Holmes, Trevor Berbick and Michael Spinks were scrubs as well.... please knock it off...
Respect to Mike Tyson. He really is such a nice dude! Got me all emotional at the End 😍
Yeah talk about Ali makes Tyson emotional every time. I get that because Ali isn't just the greatest men of all time not just greatest fighter
"I cannot beat that man, hell fucking no" + his body gesture is GOLDEN.
Tyson respected Ali in such a wholeheartedly way, it's always nice to hear.
Ali is the most scientific boxer ever lived..Tyson is awesome...
Tyson, from brute to poet. "Takes you out on deep water and drowns you" Lovely
Tyson today is so brilliant to listen too. And so humble. And he was a ‘student’ of the history of boxing when young, not many know that. So he’s seen a ton of the old heavyweight classic fights with Ali, Frazier, Norton etc and much earlier right back to jack johnson and jack dempsey. But no matter what, every famous boxer in history knows that there was nobody better at heavyweight than Muhammad Ali, ‘the greatest of all times!’ Thanks for the memories mike, you are now one of the legendary greats!
Respect for Tyson, he knows his shit
We don’t talk about Ali vs Tyson, that’s just wrong
MAN that last part was hilarious but its true ali just kept poppin till the bell rang
@3.28 Tyson talks about Ali... The awe, it's real..and Tyson always cries, and makes me cry when ever he describes Ali, always another level..love Tyson loving Ali
tyson dearly loves ali full admiration. a very humble iron mike
Respect to Mike. Both were legends!
Tyson has so much love for Ali, every time I've seen him talk about him how Ali was willing to die to win he gets emotional. Tyson having been there in the trenches of that war knows how incredible of a person you have to be to think like that and i think his respect is so deep found that he can't help it.
I love listening to Mike talk about Ali. I could listen all day. Because I feel the same way. No one beats him. He's the toughest man to ever step foot in the ring and the most technically skilled heavyweight ever. and he's 6'3 so in any era he'd be the greatest. Never knocked out in spite of facing the deadliest hitters ever. it would take an atom bomb to keep him down for the count. He was an animal!
one of the best interviews ever
Tyson loves and respects Ali, so he said ' 4:59 Nobody beats Ali' then became emotional.
5:00 Nobody beat ALI
Only mike tyson in is prime
@@m17-04 NOBODY
This man is not just talking out of respect for his hero. Mike is a student of his craft and was in there with some of the best. He knows what he can and can't do against an opponent in the ring. He doesn't lie to himself.
His absolute and total respect for Ali is so inspiring. Mike is easily one of the best boxers of all time, he’s Ali’s peer in every way. But he’s still able to respect Ali as an absolute legend, despite being one himself. Not a hint of arrogance or pride when it comes to his true hero.
The question to ask is this.
WHO DID TYSON BEAT - that tells you he could handle Ali.
WHO DID ALI BEAT - that tells you he could handle Tyson.
Liston, Frazier, Foreman - All power houses, not as fast, but power wise YES. The first few rounds would be dangerous of course, but after that... Tyson doesn't go FIFTEEN ROUNDS with Ali.
You must also remember, HALF of TYSONS games was intimidation of the fighter before the bell even rang. When Tyson finally faced someone who wasn't intimidated - he lost.
You think ALI would be intimidated?
No sonny Liston was a known gangster if he dident intimidate him you think Tyson would ?
Tyson beat Frank Bruno. How about them apples?
Lol.
I don't think Tyson was faster than Frazier really tbh. Look at Frazier in his prime. Man.........not called smokin' for nothing.
ibuprofen303 Tyson was certainly faster than joe. Joe wasn't named smokin because of his speed
reedickyaluss
You could be right. I was thinking of his left hook, which people didn't seem to be able to avoid, but I concede to your superior knowledge, sir.
When he says about Muhammad Ali, that "there's no man like him" it sends shivers...
The love and respect that Tyson, has for Ali, is unreal. Tyson, knows that Ali, was something special. A one off in life. Ali, was his role model and whenever you see him talking about Ali, the love and respect for him is plain to see. The greatest of all time. R.I.P Muhammad 🥊🥊🥊
