@first last You know what I mean......mental toughness is enduring hardship....... physical toughness is Mike Tyson/Ronda Rousy (who considered suicide over a loss fight to Holm......I wouldn't have been suicidal about that....and I've actually been suicidal).
@@shaltonmartis1314 ..the implication is that people who pull guns for the intention of intimidation is cowardly. You seem to be insinuating that Mike is a coward for making a FIGURATIVE point that if he uses a gun, it would be with the intent of killing..that he wouldn't threaten someone with brutal force..and that doing so is wrong.. and you seem to be implying that Mike is a coward ..Mike can rip your face off. He's a fucking freak of nature. The fact that he's saying bullying is wrong does NOT mean he's a coward, ..you fucking mental midget
Mike has no real interest to talk about Teddy. He has got a lot to deal with the questions about him. He has told his version on standup comedy. Besides it was Cus and Kevin who taught boxing to him. The situation with Teddy was when he was a 16 yo kid.
Mike Tyson has always been very intelligent. He was uneducated in his younger years, but always naturally curious and you can see how his intelligence has become more apparent as he's gained education.
@@abcxyz-py6uw but he wouldn't, he's not that person anymore, he said that about 15 times in this video and it clear he's not that person anymore just by looking at him today.
“I don’t feel I’m the guy they’re interviewing….They’re interviewing Iron Mike & that’s not who I am anymore.” What a profound response. I really respect this guy.
3:24 - 4:14 his old self got triggered momentarily lol! Then he flashes back to a soft teddy bear lmao. I'm happy that he seems to be very humbled now.
U have to it's hard to battle yourself. Tysons emotionally fucked up. Who did it the effects of an emotional other sucks. He trys hard to be believed. The man's about truth.
mike created a self image of tough guy to protect himself and get people's respect i used the same strategy in one period of my life as a form to protect my fears or defects but soon or later you will regret it cause thats not the correct way to fix your debilities. now he's tired of that fake image and people keep asking the same questions that 20 years ago made him look the tughest guy in the world.
It's sort of the interview style he goes for, when he asserts it, Tyson believes that he already knows a lot and that he's involved so he gives him a good answer

I love this interview. Mike Tyson is showing the world that it’s not about the money or the fame. It’s about your family, faith and friends. Helping others
The rage will never leave, but he is definitely putting forth an honest effort to be a better person and channel it differently So proud of you, “Iron” Mike Tyson.
@@eXpas04 Tyson is black so it doesnt matter if he'd scare another black person, it's the fact that he's black and would punk any pussy pecker-wood out there, can't say the opposite.
If someone sexually assaulted a female in your family (niece), how would you react?. Admirable restraint was shown by Teddy as he'd be in jail now had he pulled the trigger. Mike definitely touched her up, you can see him trying to manipulate the interviewer by saying how do you know? You don't pull a gun on someone because they're better than you in the gym & Cus did choose Mike over Teddy as Cus knew he had a gold mine in Mike. Just a shame he never lived long enough to cash in.
This interview is excellent, but I do feel I can relate to what Mike was saying at the end of this clip about not being the person that they're trying to interview anymore. On the other hand, I feel a kind of admiration for this mildly nervous, but extremely honest and authentic person that Mike has become. It's got to be tough to talk to people so much about the person that he used to be when they don't ever seem to get around to the question of who he is now.
@Dizzle he said he abused them they abused him ... He never spoke specifically about any physical abuse ! Oh please , some people so quick to cry wolfe 💩
This guy did one of the best interviews I've ever seen with Tyson. People have ask him allot of this stuff before over the years, but I've not seen anyone ask all these questions in one sit down. Mostly Mike looked calm and not irritated by all the questions, which I think the interviewer gets credit for creating that atmosphere. But either way, it can't be easy sitting there asking personal questions and watching Tyson get emotional, there would always be a sense of what if I'm the guy Mike flips out on. Lol, not a fun thought. Still wondering if anyone will ever get Mike to talk about his rape conviction. That would be the interview of all time.
Yeah when he started talking about Teddy it could of went to shit, but Graham held it down. I'm surprised this channel doesn't have more subs. These interviews are amazing.
Lol plenty of people have tried to ask him I'm sure, that's why he's tired of it. Plus he probably didn't do it which he's said a million times, why rape a girl when you can bang 100 women a day if you choose too
First time I've heard Mike Tyson say a different story too, I heard the Teddy Atlas story and I assumed it was a true since Tyson did have a past of being really into girls and he was 15 at the time, but I could see Teddy doing Mikes version of the story too, and Tyson didn't look like he was lying
The energy Tyson has is incredible. He makes you shiver in your voice if you disagree with him, or if he feels that you are trying to blackmail him. Great personality, and sometimes misunderstood. He's tired of talking about the past and all the things he did. Let him live, he tries to be a good man by listening to how he speaks about things.
Tyson seems like an ok guy. No more anger issues, which I think were caused by him feeling like people taking advantage of him in the past. He just seems so calm in these interviews. Good for him.
there are so many levels to Mike. its sad that we never got to understand the inner workings of him till later in life but getting to know this side of him makes me love him even more. he turned out to be a really good and insightful man. id love to meet him one day
"They are still wanting interview Iron Mike and I'm not that guy anymore" . That tells u everything u need to know about Mike Tyson in my opinion. Guy has changed so much. He was 20 and got thrown into the fire idk how anyone would have handled it. He did the best he could and he is the most honest person you would probably ever see
Mike speaks in symbols and metaphors better than anyone. He is a savant IMO. I don't know exactly what his brilliance is, but it is there. No one, besides maybe OJ Simpson, has had a more acute fall from grace in our recent history. I think part of his brilliance is his ability to reflect on his most damaging self-induced problems, actually learn and gain wisdom from these issues, and then to be able to articulate it in a way that most people can digest it
Lol. This charm he maintains with the masses (after consistently and publicly hurting others) is also inherent in sociopaths and narcissists. He has always mentioned his mental disorders (bipolar and manic depressive with underlying rage and anger issues). Dude is a mastermind in a way...you can even always see and hear the rage and control issues in his eyes. At the same time he speaks brilliantly. Pulls you right in (charm). Scary guy!!! But we all still like him for some reason. 🤷🏽♀️
Its amazing how money and messed up people can screw a person’s life but its a true testament that he fixed his life and now he is a father and realized the important things in life.. Good Luck Mike you deserve it….
GB:"....holding a loaded gun to your head and pulling back the trigger" MT:"Now that's not true! How do you know if thats true or not. You made a statement like you know that's true?" GB:"Uh.no..oh..ok....th..that's what he had said." MT: "That's not true....Teddy did do that" LOL
dan nguyen that's funny. But I think he was referring to the story as a whole, not that specific moment. But to be honest, it's makes no sense to correct him on that, unless you want to die.
I like how Mike told him "how do you know it's true?" Even though he literally in the next sentence said it was true, he's letting Graham know "hey man, if you didn't hear it from ME, don't assume its true ABOUT me"
The only suggestion I have is when you interview someone like this, bring some positivity into your questioning. Like Mike said, it's his past. We all want to have some insight into it, but I'd love to hear what his thoughts are about upcoming fighters, athletes, is he coaching anyone etc..
thats so true what mike said at the end, when graham asked how u feel about interviews, hes like i dont feel like their interviewing me, their interviewing the old mike, literaly every interview is stuck in the past literally every question and mike has to keep repeating im not that guy anymore
One thing I will say about Mike in all his interviews is he is honest about stuff that went on and fair play to him he had a raw deal from the very start all that money no genuine people around him to support him and advise him on how to invest it.
The real Mike Tyson is a incredibly intellegent, well read individual with a amazing ability to learn different skills. One of them was boxing. Intimidating people was part of his pesona. The real tyson is probably a articulate savant who would rather spend his time with his head stuck in a book.
Graham, you look Mike straight in the eyes and that's a huge plus for you. this is a potentially tense situation, but you are direct and honest in you behaviour, and I'm sure Mike picks up on this and let's you continue. You seem very sincere and kind, and courageous at the same time. Good job, you've got class!
Why aren't you working in a big network? You are really talented! You make your guests feel comfortable, and it doesn't feel like it's a formal interview but a chat. Which is great!
+ALEX D Thanks, Alex. My show does air weekly across the us on ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX affiliates. If you have any interest, check my website for tv air times. Really appreciate you watching, Alex!
I think Mike Tyson is the classic wounded child who was and is truly sensitive in his heart and soul, forced to fight back against the cruel arrows of fate and injustice. All children deserve to grow up knowing and thinking they are truly loved cherished and important. I hope and pray he continues to heal his broken heart and wish him all the best!
With all honesty, Mike Tyson is the most sensible boxer, the most genuine guy.. but just people are so fake or partially fake, a TRUE straight guy seems to most of us weird ! and that is how people perceive him. he is brave, speak his mind and very frank, people need to appreciate that. Salute you Mike from Afghanistan !
Despite the fact that Mike is doing much better these days, it's still risky to take him down memory lane. There is a lot of pain back there for him. He knows he was ill and he knows he did some unpleasant things. No need to remind him of it. He says over and over that he is a different person. He says it because he wants it to be true.
strange, graham doesnt react to what mike says saying he changed, i mean some compasion or empathy....could fit the context more imo, cause clearly thats what Tyson missed in the past...damged soul...cool and honest guy anyway
MultiMrMiles Actually he walked that fine line very well as mike was triggered and there was a chance of loosing the entire interview and you can't really know what mike is thinking or how he would understand his gestures.
I can sympathize with Mike Tyson because I to know what it's like to be judged for something you did at twenty , 20 years ago. I have very controversial tattoos but at 42 I no longer believe or think that way. I don't want to have a conversation about something I put on my body as a kid when I'm a middle aged man now.
Mike Tyson always has that rage. He controls it a lot better now but reporters can always tell when they've scratched him in a way he doesn't want to be scratched, because the reporters face and tone completely changes. Just like this guy talking about Teddy. Mike Tyson gives one hell of a raw interview. He's one hell of a guy.
Idk why people like Tyson is a loose canon. He really comes off as collected and calm, in this interview. Tyson is very blatant and honest, though. Tyson even says, "I'm not iron Mike, anymore" meaning, he has changed as a person. Idk why people don't see that.
I take it Graham has life insurance. These interviews have served to demonstrate just how much Mike has been cleansed of his old daemons. I'd like to know how. It is as if a part of his brain has been rewired somehow. It's really miraculous.
Dude has had the benefit of an amazing therapeutic support network. I’ve had a similar thing that saved my life tbh which is why this is my view. Just my honest opinion btw.
Drives me insane when they question these guys years later. He was an animal. That's what was asked of him. He destroyed athletic freaks in the ring. Takes a special type of person to do that.
i really admire Mike Tyson. He has lots of flaws but i see a man that has over come a lot! He is a true champion. The highs and lows of his life would of killed most other people but he persevered.
I think Graham is safe from Mikes anger because he is so nice and the way he ask the question too. Teddy Atlas is always dissing Mike and Mike has tried to bury the hatchet with him too but Teddy won't let the past go.
when mike Tyson says "I am not a tough guy " who the hell is tough then
carspotter 0 Emotionally......and mental toughness is different from physical toughness....that's what he saying.
@first last You know what I mean......mental toughness is enduring hardship....... physical toughness is Mike Tyson/Ronda Rousy (who considered suicide over a loss fight to Holm......I wouldn't have been suicidal about that....and I've actually been suicidal).

The only suggestion I have is when you interview someone like this, bring some positivity into your questioning. Like Mike said, it's his past. We all want to have some insight into it, but I'd love to hear what his thoughts are about upcoming fighters, athletes, is he coaching anyone etc..
I love his honesty and how he didn't glamourize his past. Very humble and transparent.....refreshing look.
I enjoy your interviews, Graham. Looking forward to more.
+JAY & MARV thanks!
+Graham Bensinger as Mike if he is gonna run for president the heavy weight champ has my vote
JAY & MARV fuck vlad grahams the guy
thats so true what mike said at the end, when graham asked how u feel about interviews, hes like i dont feel like their interviewing me, their interviewing the old mike, literaly every interview is stuck in the past literally every question and mike has to keep repeating im not that guy anymore
this man has showed so much growth. love this guy. he’s still scary as hell tho fr 😂😂
One thing I will say about Mike in all his interviews is he is honest about stuff that went on and fair play to him he had a raw deal from the very start all that money no genuine people around him to support him and advise him on how to invest it.
"Iron Mike, that's not who I am anymore...." No Mike, you will always be "Iron Mike," because your the greatest.
AMEN!
He doesn’t want to be iron mike. He said in other interviews that he doesn’t want to be that person anymore.
Youre*
Correction playboy ali is the greatest
Mike said he’d never be a multimillionaire again, but he’s as rich now as he was when he was fighting! The difference a few years can make
“Something with my face irritates people sometimes” I felt that cuz I feel that way often
Tyson is a fascinating character. Thousands of people stopped boxing and were never heard of again, but Mike is always interesting to listen to.
mike tyson is true to him self real honest man big respect man
Mike is super open and speaks his mind and heart. I respect and admire that.
The real Mike Tyson is a incredibly intellegent, well read individual with a amazing ability to learn different skills. One of them was boxing. Intimidating people was part of his pesona. The real tyson is probably a articulate savant who would rather spend his time with his head stuck in a book.
The uncompromising Mike Tyson. So authentic & articulate.
Graham, you look Mike straight in the eyes and that's a huge plus for you. this is a potentially tense situation, but you are direct and honest in you behaviour, and I'm sure Mike picks up on this and let's you continue. You seem very sincere and kind, and courageous at the same time. Good job, you've got class!
Mike is one of the most prophetic boxers and people of all time his face shows pain and truth and rage and emotion I’m digging it
god knows them bullets ain t goin in the air !!
Why aren't you working in a big network? You are really talented! You make your guests feel comfortable, and it doesn't feel like it's a formal interview but a chat. Which is great!
+ALEX D Thanks, Alex. My show does air weekly across the us on ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX affiliates. If you have any interest, check my website for tv air times. Really appreciate you watching, Alex!
The greatest Heavyweight Champion of all time! Great interview! I wish it was all in one video thou...
I think Mike Tyson is the classic wounded child who was and is truly sensitive in his heart and soul, forced to fight back against the cruel arrows of fate and injustice. All children deserve to grow up knowing and thinking they are truly loved cherished and important. I hope and pray he continues to heal his broken heart and wish him all the best!
At 3:25 shit got real! Love the great job you did w this interview nonetheless!
Mike Tyson is so real and genuine. He’s awesome. God bless him always.
I really believe Tyson is a misunderstood sweetheart.
With all honesty, Mike Tyson is the most sensible boxer, the most genuine guy.. but just people are so fake or partially fake, a TRUE straight guy seems to most of us weird ! and that is how people perceive him. he is brave, speak his mind and very frank, people need to appreciate that. Salute you Mike from Afghanistan !
Despite the fact that Mike is doing much better these days, it's still risky to take him down memory lane. There is a lot of pain back there for him. He knows he was ill and he knows he did some unpleasant things. No need to remind him of it. He says over and over that he is a different person. He says it because he wants it to be true.
Graham Bensinger is such a professional, Mike is intimidating as hell, great job Graham.
This guy is a proper interviewer
Mike is an older, calmer, mature adult now. Much respect to him.
the anxiety from watching this interview still gets to me.
Embrace your past, Mike. Nothing to be ashamed about, all was perfectly into place to make you the person you are now.
strange, graham doesnt react to what mike says saying he changed, i mean some compasion or empathy....could fit the context more imo, cause clearly thats what Tyson missed in the past...damged soul...cool and honest guy anyway
MultiMrMiles
Actually he walked that fine line very well as mike was triggered and there was a chance of loosing the entire interview and you can't really know what mike is thinking or how he would understand his gestures.
MultiMrMiles i
Yea I agree. Tyson was as honest and vulnerable as he could be and Graham completely disregarded it
Respect to Graham for asking questions no one would face to face . This is fantastic
I can sympathize with Mike Tyson because I to know what it's like to be judged for something you did at twenty , 20 years ago. I have very controversial tattoos but at 42 I no longer believe or think that way. I don't want to have a conversation about something I put on my body as a kid when I'm a middle aged man now.
Mike Tyson always has that rage. He controls it a lot better now but reporters can always tell when they've scratched him in a way he doesn't want to be scratched, because the reporters face and tone completely changes. Just like this guy talking about Teddy. Mike Tyson gives one hell of a raw interview. He's one hell of a guy.
Mike is in a good place now. God bless u champ
The guy is so wise
Idk why people like Tyson is a loose canon. He really comes off as collected and calm, in this interview. Tyson is very blatant and honest, though. Tyson even says, "I'm not iron Mike, anymore" meaning, he has changed as a person. Idk why people don't see that.
I take it Graham has life insurance. These interviews have served to demonstrate just how much Mike has been cleansed of his old daemons. I'd like to know how. It is as if a part of his brain has been rewired somehow. It's really miraculous.
Ryan Guidry yep many things can change your life
Dude has had the benefit of an amazing therapeutic support network. I’ve had a similar thing that saved my life tbh which is why this is my view. Just my honest opinion btw.
DMT
Wow. Mike is living as close to reality as one should. His comments reveal just how far from reality other people are living.
Mike has a pretty impressive vocabulary. He will always be one of my favorite champ!
notice how graham comforts himself with that hand on his left shoe.
5:15 if you listen carefully enough, you can hear Bensinger’s sphincter tighten
Mike's evolution is something else. He's become a better and very stable human being.
Drives me insane when they question these guys years later. He was an animal. That's what was asked of him. He destroyed athletic freaks in the ring. Takes a special type of person to do that.
4:45 when Mike says everybody listen , the President paused his speech and listened along with Rest of the World.
What an amazing human being is this guy, just so transparent and honest! Legend 🙏🏽🥊🏆
I almost felt like you hurt his feelings. My word Mike is so self aware.
Mike is terrifying with a lisp imagine how scary he would be if he didn’t
If he didn't have the lisp he might not have been so angry....
the lisp makes him scarier
He’s kinda like Rex from Toy Story
He reminds me of Jack Dempsey, that high pitched voice with rage behind it
i really admire Mike Tyson. He has lots of flaws but i see a man that has over come a lot! He is a true champion. The highs and lows of his life would of killed most other people but he persevered.
Oh you were walking the line there, boy...
ElbowZone fuck the line fuck dat shit lol
ElbowZone 🏃🏽
I think Graham is safe from Mikes anger because he is so nice and the way he ask the question too. Teddy Atlas is always dissing Mike and Mike has tried to bury the hatchet with him too but Teddy won't let the past go.
I agree. Particularly after Mike apologized to him several years ago.
Amazing interview and great questions. Keep up the good work GB
Tyson is so humble. One of the many reasons he is considered a legend.
