I had to play it in slow motion to see the efficiency and scripted movements of his feet and body working together.

@@ace0543 he's gone the distance in some of his earlier fights and he didn't slow down much. It's a testament to his training, conditioning, and mindset.
I know Tyson is a professional, but still… That trainer is one brave dude. The look of terror on his face after the first exchange says it all.. My man’s life flashed before his eyes at least 4 times.. Tyson makes even simple footwork look like an 8 course meal. Outstanding.
You are right. That trainer is a mma world reknown trainer that has trained some UFC legends. Joe Rogan was talking about him a few years ago. My point is IF HE has that look that you are talking about just imagine the look you or I would have.
Mike Tyson has always gotten accolades for his power, his speed, but he has always been the total package. His strategy, his tactics, his footwork, his knowledge of opponents, his speed of thought... he's analyzing in real time and reaching instantly, almost as if he's not even processing it. Let's face it, Mike Tyson had never really been underrated, but at the same time he's so underrated, ya know what I mean?
A room full of some of the best fighting minds of all time. No ego. No arrogance. Just learning, asking questions and implementing what you’ve just been taught. Says something about being a champion
And that's what used to make Mike the best was how eager he was to learn from and trust his mentors as a student of the sport. When he got away from that because Don King's camp did nothing but tell him he was invincible, and Robin Givens turned him into a depressed meat drone, he wasn't that guy anymore. It's great to see he's got it back again.
"Right hand to the body!" at about 3:48. Mike's still got that killer instinct haha. Imagine being trained by him too - as soon as he starts saying "good job" you'll be feeling invincible.
His defense in particular, bolstered by his power and speed, is what made him the champ. Most folks ain't real boxing fans and won't ever really appreciate just what an amazing thing Mike being champ (as a kid no less) at Heavyweight was. He's a tiny heavyweight that really made it happen because of pure hard work. Which probably wouldn't have been sustainable. Unfortunately didn't have good people around him after Cus passed away, which is a real shame. Would have been amazing to see how history would be different if he had. No prison, no excess in the real world, sticking to his roots of defensive/explosive fighting instead of the pure offensive "forced" power we got after prison (largely because of laziness and poor training). I still seriously believe that a prime Mike beats almost anyone at Heavyweight aside from a very certain type that may have given him issues. Older George Foreman, maybe Lennox Lewis, the Klitchkos in their prime, and Tyson Fury...which isn't a long list. Basically any tall and hard hitting HW, that also has a damn good chin and a strong jab to work off of. Definitely not Holyfield, who got the benefit of a post prison/post prime/ Tyson that he still fought fucking dirty. Shame Mike had to bite him, which while deserved, overshadowed the whole reason he bit him and the dirty fights Evander fought (both times).
@@joenobody5913 I am no boxing expert at all, but one thing that I've always noticed about Mike in particular was his defense, indeed. Not joking. I love the speed and power in a champion, but to me they're useless without a rock solid defense and he had it. So I guess he must have looked like an armored tank coming right at you lol scary stuff
It's the example of what the shorter fighter has an advantage. Larry Holmes can't hit what his hands physiology can't touch. As a smaller fighter, and someone who has done a lot of training with smaller fighters, you want to make the taller fighter feel physiologically uncomfortable by being outside of their natural range. And as for getting shorter... The natural mechanics of the taller fighter will see their natural punch mechanics sail right over your head... That's the point you learn from being shorter and training shorter fighters.
Mike is automatic. Engrained in him from so many reps it just flows in a whole different way. His movement, speed and the force he comes with is just incredible.

The speed of Mike’s punches and footwork is outrageous. Even after watching a few times, I still can’t believe the speed at which he struck with those combinations. Amazing!
He didn't need a full swing to put the power in the punch. But he also was good at opening someone up for that full punch and if it connected solid the fight was over.
The fluidity and transitions are seamless for Mike Tyson. This is years of muscle memory. You'll never get that in just a few sessions this takes years of commitment.
Like he said , this was more important to him then food and sleep. I think 99.99 percent of people could not even put in the efford , let alone get the result.
Been boxing / learning the sport for over 15 years. Started for cardio reasons because I grew up racing motocross/supercross . I'm 35 now, very agile for my age, on trt and I can't come close to moving my hips/feet like he does . People have zero clue how special of a talent Mike actually is
Mike is so skilled with his footwork. He makes it look so easy but it’s not. Years of training has embedded it into him to to it naturally with no effort. Absolute perfection
I love seeing Mike's technique getting some respect, he doesn't just punch really hard he used super clean technique that is not easy to learn. Now it's just second nature to him, he could turn that on and off like a switch now. what a legend!
@@powerbad696 Dude why? Mike Tyson is a boxer. He's one of the best strikers to every live. Even the best MMA guys can be taken out. Saw a Bad A MMA guy try to take a dude to the ground around a pool. Put the dude in his guard. Guy just picked him up a foot and slammed his head into the concrete. MMA guy was out cold. Point is every one of these disciplines is for very specific stuff. "what if a grappler takes you to the ground ???". Well he better do it someplace where the terrain can't hurt him. And he better make damn sure there's no friends around. And I'm not even bringing weapons into the conversation.
I really appreciate who Mike has matured in to. He is a contributor to society and an asset to our social community. Thanks Mike for being that person who can improve from the past missteps and be an example for us on how to move forward in life.
Most of what he says is common sense, though. He's only put on a pedestal because of his career. I mean, just watch him trying to explain the Che and Mao tattoos. He's like Kanye West.

0:58 look how Mike mentally goes somewhere when he puts the gloves on. It’s like he has to warn the beast in him that this is just a tutorial. Awesome.
I bet he could still beat a teenage girl into a bloody pulp AND rape her simultaneously like he used to back in his 20s. Real men worship guys like him. 😆 🤣 😂
Very impressive, even if you don't know who he is and despite his age you immediately notice he's on another level just from the way he moves, so powerful and yet so agile and fast.
Mike is one of a kind once in a lifetime guy. He is so much more than just a boxer. He is wise tough rough has been rich beyond your wildest dreams and sat years in prison with nothing. Perspective that so few will ever have.
Willingness to ask questions and look dumb for future benefit is what eventually makes a master. I myself have to get more accustomed to that. I often feel embarrassed for struggling with a concept.
When I was a a teen watching Iron Mike in his prime, I thought his KO’s came from just his sheer speed, aggression and punching power-in later years I began to realize how technical Iron Mike’s style is. All those countless reps, drills and moves from his days with D’Amato are so ingrained in Mikes muscle memory he can call upon it at a moments notice-complete mastery of the D’Amato style-it’s a thing of beauty.
I saw that clip-even at that advanced age D’Amato could move-I remember this was before Ali fought Frazier and when Cus tagged Ali -Ali quipped-‘yeah but Joe ain’t THAT good!’ Referring to D’Amato’s movement
I was saying this to myself…the way he moves and reacts so quick and effortlessly, you can tell his body is just naturally trained to move how it does now. I don’t think he even thinks about it much anymore his body just automatically responds and acts
"it's always about the morale of the fighter, how important this is to you? Is this more important than breathing? Is it more important than eating?" - Mike Tyson This is a winner's mindset, if we apply this way of thinking to our life anything is possible. You're the fighter in your life's battle.
My buddy actually ran into Tyson a few years ago in Vegas and he said he's Sooooo F'N intimidating but a straight up cool down to earth guy once you greet him.
Mike perfect that peek a boo style. He was made for that. His lateral movement and being able to drop his level while going forward and to the side is like nothing I ever seen before. Insane footwork and ability to through speed and power combos. Mind blown.
That man is nothing but fast twitch fiber in a heavy weight body. He's the living breathing specimen of what would be any ancient army's champion. Nothing but respect and admiration for that man for getting to where he is from where he came and everything in between. Wise men aren't born, they are made from a lifetime's lessons.
Lol ancient armys wish they had Mike Tyson. There was never any ancient champion that is even remotely on Tysons level (hand to hand wise of course, obviously not with weapons....probably a million peasant Mongolian farmers that could light him up with a bow for example). Champions were never really a thing anyway, that's not how militaries of yesterday worked, just like it ain't now. That's shit that comes from movies and stories, not actual history.
@@machinech183 Whats my mental fantasy? The FACT that "champions" of ancient armies didn't exist? Then by all means please enlighten me on some of these "champions"....how exactly did they become "champions"? What was their role? Did they fight other "champions"? Or am I mistaken and do you think these people (that didn't exist) actually match up with a modern day pro athlete...who not only had a century plus of knowledge, a team of some of the best trainers EVER, modern knowledge of little things like diet and training, but also one other thing...the fact that boxing was literally his ONLY job. Funny you claim I have a mix of mental fantasy and assumption, when your actually claiming there's mystical champions of ancient armies like fucking Achilles or Rambo. My "assumption" is actually just logic in disguise. Very few ancient soldiers were even full time soldiers, with really on Spartans being "full time" soldiers, and oddly enough not even a "champion" among them, with the few names that have made it to modern day being the commander/King, the same as every army. Lol, even large percentages of the Roman gladiators were largely fucking SLAVES OF THE LOSING ARMY. Sorry to burst your bubble on ancient history. Understandable to hold a mistaken belief like that, not so much to double down on your ignorance (and insult me for no reason) because you've watched Troy one too many times.
@@joenobody5913 If only your grasp of history were as on point as your butt hurt driven wall of text. Good luck with that and your next impromptu expose.
I can’t remember seeing a technical breakdown of Mike Tyson’s boxing. You really get to appreciate him in the same way as all the technical boxers out there when you realise he is not just brawn. Hats off to him. An amazing human being and a boxing legend
I honestly suggest that you at least check out The Modern Martial Artist UA-cam channel, he does some awesome breakdowns on not just Tyson but a whole bunch of other fighters 👍
It's annoying how people think tyson is just some tornado or senseless bull that comes to kill you. Part of the reason he was (and still is) so good is because he's a very smart and intense martial artist. Not just any swinging idiot can step into the ring and be a champion.
I thought the same, Jesus effing, this dude hulking in his 20s, most of his opponents lost just by looking at him across the ring, his presence was enough.
I bet he could still beat a teenage girl into a bloody pulp AND rape her simultaneously like he used to back in his 20s. Real men worship guys like him. 😆 🤣 😂
I do Muay Thai and Bjj training and I can’t help but in awe how Mike moves so effortlessly with his footwork and still have speed and power to his punches
I will never , EVER get tired of watching Mike move so effortlessly and beautifully. To be a heavyweight , and move like that, right under my guard....damn I would have died from sheer fear right there.
Buster didn't die of fright when he put Tyson's light out !!! LOL. Douglas wasn't even a contender,he was a BUM !! Couldn't hold on the championship for a year. Tyson got knocked out by a BUM !!! And he's a RAPIST !!! Couldn't slip or dodge those rape charges,huh !!! He was beating his WIFE !!! What a fine,human being he was,NOT. Just another BULLY who hits women.
Mike is a genius period. Brings tears of joy to my eyes that he is now healthy of body, soul, and mind. He is out there spreading the knowledge and the love.

There is *NO* connection between you two. - - - unless you're also doing tons of coke and somehow cheating drug tests in big industries?
As Iron Mike was putting on the gloves something hit me that this man’s hands has been registered since the 80’s. I can’t even believe this is free to watch. The man gives back. He could charge folks for this who wouldn’t pay top dollar for lessons from Iron Mike himself. This is absolutely amazing.
I love this for Mike. I hope he becomes a trainer. He knows so much, he's still got it, and it'd be great for the sport of boxing for him to pass down what he knows. I think he'll train several champions if he wants to.
Mike's combinations were so short and explosive. Amazing how he used his height to his advantage. Really cool to see that he still got the moves and that he really cares when he is teaching. Awesome fighter, awesome sparring.
Now that Mike isn't fighting anymore and you can watch him show other fighters his technique makes you really appreciate and understand how much knowledge Cus had.
Mike at 55 and i still need to play it back in slow mo so i can actually see his moves. The guy never ages and still looks like a real power house. I love at 0:59 when he walks with head down waiting, reminds me of all those times he was waiting for the ref to count his opponent to 10!! Amazing guy!
Such a shame that he met don king and got into drugs, Mike could've held his titles for years, I can't think of a single heavyweight in the last 35 years who could've beaten the mike tyson who burst onto the heavyweight scene in 1986?
I’m so glad I got to experience Tyson in his prime. I can’t speak on events before him but I haven’t experienced anything more hyped than a Mike Tyson fight in the ‘80’s and ‘90’s. Even the Superbowl doesn’t compare to the hype surrounding each fight
Mike’s movements are still so fast and fluid that he’s himself not able to articulate the movements step-by-step. Muscle memory hardcoded by a genius hypnotist into a physical specimen for eternity! ❤
I’d love to see Mike be a full time trainer. Dude knows so much, and has learned so much about boxing and life, that’s so invaluable for a young person.
Mike is a special athlete, you see how hard it is for Cejudo an olympic to grasp this footwork, you would have to train this from a child to be able to execute it in a real fight, you need to have talent to fight in this style
He is still so quick. I think that's the key to his power. He got clean shots due to being quicker than most of his opponents. That and his killer instinct, of course. No hesitation or doubt, just single-minded purpose.
We have a lot of great teachers in the world but Mike is a walking, breathing lesson. He's not a teacher, he's an actual lesson come to life. Many blessings and as a 40 year old, I'm honored to watch him in his prime and grow to see him spread knowledge 👑🔥🥊
Mikes movement is still top tier, the speed at which he closes the distance getting all up in his opponents face with heavy shots is insane. True legend.
Could not have said it better! What Ronaldinho was to football, Tyson is to boxing. Just a joy to watch, makes the most dofficult techniques look effortless
At this particular age he can beat almost 90% people of half of his age without getting much hurt...... truly at the peak of his career he was insane like a mad machine
@@afrimidrizoski2712 he was in his prime up until anytime he fought after the 2nd holyfield fight, problem was he left kevin rooney when he fought frank bruno which made his skills decline by a lot
@@21LAZgoo that douglas fight was such bullshit the referee waited forever to start the count when douglas went down in the 8th round and hte literally gave him like an extra 2 seconds after he was getting up
Mike just did it like it was nothing, and with such force. Its like watching a pro dancer effortlessly learn choreography right away. Takes so much hard work to get to that level. That's why he's one of the greats.
Anyone observing tremendous athletes who think something is instinct or "can't be taught" have no idea what it takes to be the best. Practice, and building routines in the neurons as well as skeletomuscular system is EVERYTHING. It has become second nature because of how he was taught and how he practiced. Yes, some people have an inclination, or catch on to thinks quicker; some have better genetics, but without practice, it will amount to nothing more than an amateur hero.
Alright alright what I meant is it takes a very special person to achieve this level of skill. You can't make just anyone a Mike Tyson. You need the drive talent and fighting instinct on top of physical predispositions. You have to have IT you can't make someone become talented Everyone can learn how to throw a punch I still box myself I would love to get a coaching sesh like that from the champ Mike is the goat!
@@zz3690 you probably do not have enough information how many people he killed. He is the reason why I ran into the US in 2000. Thus I’m grateful to him from one side and want him prosecuted by Belarusians
Watching Mike move is nothing less than absolutely exciting. The man still gets me pumped! We live in the same time as one of the greatest fighters/warriors to ever exist. In ancient times, Mike would've been an Emperor of a mighty kingdom.
I remember watching Mike’s fights back in the eighties with a pint in hand with the lads in the boozer in my teens , those were amazing times , seeing him move like that all these years later is still fascinating to watch … he certainly is the champ , what a boxer 👊
It was nuts it was truly like the days of the Roman Colosseum in that Tyson's PPV events where more like who are they feeding him, and how long will the poor victim last.
I never saw a fighter generate more power and speed with what looks like simple footwork but is insanely hard to do. So Happy to see Mike enjoying life at this stage in his life.

So fast Henry couldn't see it
His foot work is amazing.
His footwork is just so quick, even in his 50s. Total legend, and an oracle of boxing.
My exact thought. It be badass to have Mike Tyson for a trainer 🙌
Michael Jackson of Boxing . Never goes away .
@@HtPt less heavy petting and more punching...there are some differences
I know Tyson is a professional, but still… That trainer is one brave dude. The look of terror on his face after the first exchange says it all.. My man’s life flashed before his eyes at least 4 times.. Tyson makes even simple footwork look like an 8 course meal. Outstanding.
You are right. That trainer is a mma world reknown trainer that has trained some UFC legends. Joe Rogan was talking about him a few years ago. My point is IF HE has that look that you are talking about just imagine the look you or I would have.
You can see how unprepared the trainer was for his moves. The level of skill difference is staggering.
he told mike he was going to have his glove up for the second punch and it never fucking happened!!!
He has trained with Mike Tyson for many years actually
Orgulho de saber que o treinador é um brasileiro
Mike Tyson has always gotten accolades for his power, his speed, but he has always been the total package. His strategy, his tactics, his footwork, his knowledge of opponents, his speed of thought... he's analyzing in real time and reaching instantly, almost as if he's not even processing it.
Let's face it, Mike Tyson had never really been underrated, but at the same time he's so underrated, ya know what I mean?
Mike could be doing this at 75 and I still wouldn’t fight him. Mike will always be relevant. Legend.
Was just thinking the same thing. Dude will have the ability to take someone’s head off for his whole life
Make that 90
It wouldn't be a fight, it'd just be straight up murder when Mike step inside your guard and take your head off in 1 second.
I would fight him in a paintball competition, providing I can assemble my own team of course.
Just learn from the master, don’t try to even put your ego out there

@@ShaggyKhalifaBoxing Olmypic champ in wrestling and held 2 or 3 belts in UFC.
@@ShaggyKhalifaBoxing Henry cejudo
rafael cordeiro is regarded as one of the best trainer in mma history
And that's what used to make Mike the best was how eager he was to learn from and trust his mentors as a student of the sport. When he got away from that because Don King's camp did nothing but tell him he was invincible, and Robin Givens turned him into a depressed meat drone, he wasn't that guy anymore. It's great to see he's got it back again.
Mike still has it, lived longer than anyone ever thought, and is an amazing human being. GOAT
🔥
You don't know the whole story. "You ain't got to lie to kick it!" Be bitter sad they/them.
I respect him a lot ❤️
Ali is the GOAT
Tyson would be Ali imo. Sonny Liston is a different story.
"Right hand to the body!" at about 3:48. Mike's still got that killer instinct haha. Imagine being trained by him too - as soon as he starts saying "good job" you'll be feeling invincible.
haha
This is the power of footwork right here. Mike has dynamite in his hands but it was his ability to move that made him a champ.
His defense in particular, bolstered by his power and speed, is what made him the champ. Most folks ain't real boxing fans and won't ever really appreciate just what an amazing thing Mike being champ (as a kid no less) at Heavyweight was. He's a tiny heavyweight that really made it happen because of pure hard work. Which probably wouldn't have been sustainable. Unfortunately didn't have good people around him after Cus passed away, which is a real shame. Would have been amazing to see how history would be different if he had. No prison, no excess in the real world, sticking to his roots of defensive/explosive fighting instead of the pure offensive "forced" power we got after prison (largely because of laziness and poor training).
I still seriously believe that a prime Mike beats almost anyone at Heavyweight aside from a very certain type that may have given him issues. Older George Foreman, maybe Lennox Lewis, the Klitchkos in their prime, and Tyson Fury...which isn't a long list. Basically any tall and hard hitting HW, that also has a damn good chin and a strong jab to work off of. Definitely not Holyfield, who got the benefit of a post prison/post prime/ Tyson that he still fought fucking dirty. Shame Mike had to bite him, which while deserved, overshadowed the whole reason he bit him and the dirty fights Evander fought (both times).
@@joenobody5913 I am no boxing expert at all, but one thing that I've always noticed about Mike in particular was his defense, indeed. Not joking. I love the speed and power in a champion, but to me they're useless without a rock solid defense and he had it. So I guess he must have looked like an armored tank coming right at you lol scary stuff
His power comes from his footwork and his legs...that's the point.
It was the savage dynamite
It's the example of what the shorter fighter has an advantage. Larry Holmes can't hit what his hands physiology can't touch. As a smaller fighter, and someone who has done a lot of training with smaller fighters, you want to make the taller fighter feel physiologically uncomfortable by being outside of their natural range. And as for getting shorter... The natural mechanics of the taller fighter will see their natural punch mechanics sail right over your head... That's the point you learn from being shorter and training shorter fighters.
Mike is automatic. Engrained in him from so many reps it just flows in a whole different way. His movement, speed and the force he comes with is just incredible.
I like to hear that.
Even as a spectator I feel the fear from his sparing partner as he closes in

The speed of Mike’s punches and footwork is outrageous. Even after watching a few times, I still can’t believe the speed at which he struck with those combinations. Amazing!
🔥
I went down to 25% speed just to enjoy it.
When MT went full speed on that first one I had chills@@jeremylindsey94
Mike got lucky he got proper training and it's still marinading in his system 😂
Father Time wanted to turn him into a normal old person but was afraid of how Mike would react.
That is scary seeing how fast and solid Mike is when he moves - dude's still a machine!
It's impressive ... it's still very scary....a missile
during his prime he's lethal 🥊🥊🥊
He didn't need a full swing to put the power in the punch. But he also was good at opening someone up for that full punch and if it connected solid the fight was over.
@@TheIndianaGeoff yeah he prefered low and close up, never a long striker, he was more of a in your face kinda boxer.
even at 0.25 speed he was fast
The fluidity and transitions are seamless for Mike Tyson. This is years of muscle memory. You'll never get that in just a few sessions this takes years of commitment.
Like he said , this was more important to him then food and sleep. I think 99.99 percent of people could not even put in the efford , let alone get the result.
He Mastered boxing.
Been boxing / learning the sport for over 15 years. Started for cardio reasons because I grew up racing motocross/supercross . I'm 35 now, very agile for my age, on trt and I can't come close to moving my hips/feet like he does . People have zero clue how special of a talent Mike actually is
Mike is so skilled with his footwork. He makes it look so easy but it’s not. Years of training has embedded it into him to to it naturally with no effort. Absolute perfection
He makes it look so easy that when he try’s to explain it, it’s really hard to.
Its involuntary at this point hes not even thinking about it
Exactly!!! and if you blink you miss his footwork.
Muscle memory is a funny concept with Mike tyson. It all comes from his intense training because he destroyed most opponents in the 1st round
Too bad it didn't work against hollyfield, or Lewis. I wanted him to win those fights because I just didn't like either boxer.
That uppercut at 2:00 scared the absolute soul out of me

And he better make damn sure there's no friends around. And I'm not even bringing weapons into the conversation.
Irks me when people say he was just a slugger, that's the farthest thing from the truth. The man had superior technique.
I really appreciate who Mike has matured in to. He is a contributor to society and an asset to our social community. Thanks Mike for being that person who can improve from the past missteps and be an example for us on how to move forward in life.
That man has lived through a LOT. Good and bad.
Piss off with your negativity
missteps? bro was innocent. only thing Mike is guilty of is some Jack Frost on the nose.
Most of what he says is common sense, though. He's only put on a pedestal because of his career. I mean, just watch him trying to explain the Che and Mao tattoos. He's like Kanye West.
He came a long ways the hard way. He's dang good person. After all he has been through. He's a good dad by the way.

I love Henry's attitude for learning. He was so impressed with Mike's footwork he kept asking him to show it again. Props to both champions!
💯
Willingness to ask questions and look dumb for future benefit is what eventually makes a master. I myself have to get more accustomed to that. I often feel embarrassed for struggling with a concept.
For real brother and Henry is a phenomenal wrestler man.
When I was a a teen watching Iron Mike in his prime, I thought his KO’s came from just his sheer speed, aggression and punching power-in later years I began to realize how technical Iron Mike’s style is. All those countless reps, drills and moves from his days with D’Amato are so ingrained in Mikes muscle memory he can call upon it at a moments notice-complete mastery of the D’Amato style-it’s a thing of beauty.
facts
It's the definitely the foot work that's so hard to grasp, great stuff.
I saw that clip-even at that advanced age D’Amato could move-I remember this was before Ali fought Frazier and when Cus tagged Ali -Ali quipped-‘yeah but Joe ain’t THAT good!’ Referring to D’Amato’s movement
Yes it is. A man his age still able to compete at a champion levels is amazing. Iron Mike is still the man to me.
I was saying this to myself…the way he moves and reacts so quick and effortlessly, you can tell his body is just naturally trained to move how it does now. I don’t think he even thinks about it much anymore his body just automatically responds and acts
"it's always about the morale of the fighter, how important this is to you? Is this more important than breathing? Is it more important than eating?" - Mike Tyson
This is a winner's mindset, if we apply this way of thinking to our life anything is possible. You're the fighter in your life's battle.
I love that people can treat Mike with respect based on the way he lives his life and not judge him on his past.
🤗
God bless Mike. He’s been through so much in life, and when his competitive side isn’t fired up, he’s a humble and average dude.

That man is nothing but fast twitch fiber in a heavy weight body. He's the living breathing specimen of what would be any ancient army's champion.

Lol ancient armys wish they had Mike Tyson. There was never any ancient champion that is even remotely on Tysons level (hand to hand wise of course, obviously not with weapons....probably a million peasant Mongolian farmers that could light him up with a bow for example).

Then by all means please enlighten me on some of these "champions"....how exactly did they become "champions"? What was their role? Did they fight other "champions"?

Funny you claim I have a mix of mental fantasy and assumption, when your actually claiming there's mystical champions of ancient armies like fucking Achilles or Rambo. My "assumption" is actually just logic in disguise. Very few ancient soldiers were even full time soldiers, with really on Spartans being "full time" soldiers, and oddly enough not even a "champion" among them, with the few names that have made it to modern day being the commander/King, the same as every army. Lol, even large percentages of the Roman gladiators were largely fucking SLAVES OF THE LOSING ARMY.

I honestly suggest that you at least check out The Modern Martial Artist UA-cam channel, he does some awesome breakdowns on not just Tyson but a whole bunch of other fighters 👍
It's annoying how people think tyson is just some tornado or senseless bull that comes to kill you. Part of the reason he was (and still is) so good is because he's a very smart and intense martial artist. Not just any swinging idiot can step into the ring and be a champion.

Mad respect for Mike. He went through some rough waters when he was young. He pulled through and we get to see him teaching younglings his art
Tbf the dude he’s teaching was a 2 weight class world champ in UFC haha but your point still stands
Mike just did it like it was nothing, and with such force. Its like watching a pro dancer effortlessly learn choreography right away. Takes so much hard work to get to that level. That's why he's one of the greats.
It's in this context you realise how technical fighting is and how great mike is
🔥
Proof how mesmerizing Mike still is in the gym, watching him work is the same as watching other people with different skills. Truly amazing.
I never get tired of watching Mike. You can't learn that that's instinct. He's still incredibly fast and powerful for his age. He's in a great shape
You can learn it. He was taught too.
its actually all learned
You can learn it. It's just a matter of practicing and repeating it until it becomes a natural instict
Anyone observing tremendous athletes who think something is instinct or "can't be taught" have no idea what it takes to be the best. Practice, and building routines in the neurons as well as skeletomuscular system is EVERYTHING. It has become second nature because of how he was taught and how he practiced. Yes, some people have an inclination, or catch on to thinks quicker; some have better genetics, but without practice, it will amount to nothing more than an amateur hero.
Alright alright what I meant is it takes a very special person to achieve this level of skill. You can't make just anyone a Mike Tyson. You need the drive talent and fighting instinct on top of physical predispositions. You have to have IT you can't make someone become talented
Everyone can learn how to throw a punch
I still box myself I would love to get a coaching sesh like that from the champ
Mike is the goat!
I’ve been boxing in middle heavy weight since 2010 and still looking how fast Mike moves despite his age is very impressive!
Man muscle memory ain’t no joke
Makes ya wonder what wouod have really happened if the Jones fight wasnt an Exhibition.
Lukashenko is a fine president. You are lucky to have him!
@@zz3690 you probably do not have enough information how many people he killed. He is the reason why I ran into the US in 2000. Thus I’m grateful to him from one side and want him prosecuted by Belarusians
@@BelarusianAmericansOrg he is also your papa ❤️
Watching Mike move is nothing less than absolutely exciting. The man still gets me pumped! We live in the same time as one of the greatest fighters/warriors to ever exist. In ancient times, Mike would've been an Emperor of a mighty kingdom.
🔥
Truly a living legend, the terror of heavyweight division in his heyday. Mike at 55 is unreal.
He's still fast, Powerful and explosive !
Even when demonstrating Mike only does everything with 100% intensity, love it
🤗🤙🏻
"We fight how we train"
Too bad he didn't have that 100% intensity when Buster put him on his can !!!! LOL. TKO,Mike !!!

Noone: “asks”
Mike Goldberg: it takes a lot of energy being a rockstar
@@GabeGettinRich Takes a lot of energy being locked up for RAPE too. LOL. I wonder did Iron Mike have a girlfriend in prison ???
So much knowledge in that room. Mike Tyson , Cejudo, Rafael Cordeiro. Legends !
Mike was so fast & quick, he still moves very well for a guy that’s 58 years old
🔥
I remember watching Mike’s fights back in the eighties with a pint in hand with the lads in the boozer in my teens , those were amazing times , seeing him move like that all these years later is still fascinating to watch … he certainly is the champ , what a boxer 👊
🔥
It was nuts it was truly like the days of the Roman Colosseum in that Tyson's PPV events where more like who are they feeding him, and how long will the poor victim last.
@StuMarston 🔥
He could finish an opponent before you finished your brew.
💯@@kjaze
I never saw a fighter generate more power and speed with what looks like simple footwork but is insanely hard to do.
So Happy to see Mike enjoying life at this stage in his life.
Then you haven’t watched a lot of fighters...
@@lotharschramm5000 name a fighter who you think hit harder
@@alexcontreras8247 I mean it we’re just talking power then George Forman and Joe Louis. It’s just Mike’s speed combined with power that’s hard to replicate.
@@kingbucketz182 George Foreman is probably the strongest boxer that ever lived but he was not nearly as coordinated as Tyson. Louis is very close. In my opinion Enrnie Shavers came closer to Mike.
I would've paid to see that one for sure.
@Alex Contreras arrr someone consulted google! MT not in the top 15
Love Henry's curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Says a lot about him.
i feel like i could really watch this all day. mike really a goat.
🔥
"like you're putting out a cigarette..." that tells you EVERYTHING about foot position at the beginning of the kinetic chain of your strike, as well as weight distribution for the next move. sooooo insightful. Luv ya, Mike❤️💯👊🏾
You know a lot ,
Can u do it is the question 😂😂
notice his feet stay the same distance apart
They tell u that in any boxing gym? Have u boxed
I saw a video where Freddie Roach says that.
He moves like a dog on a snow . So light footed ..
Mike generates so much power with his legs. His leg power and leg speed are unmatched.
If I remember correctly, mike Tyson wears like a size 13/14 shoe
🤗🤙🏻
@@johnnyc0811ye un uü ya happy Birthday to 😢 ko
The Power and Ferocity he emits in those 2 Seconds when he shows his movements is still frightening
“The Art of War” .. proper mentality .. using your opponents perceived advantages against them as weaknesses
