People always talk about just his power... his footwork and head movement was second to none. That right to the body right uppercut combo is legendary
@@twhis9843 Yeah, without a doubt!
@@twhis9843 pinklon thomas was a bum
tyson only beat bums

@@CR-bc1zt who would pinklon thomas destroy? fury, wilder, joshua, usyk? LOL...he would get absolutely destroyed
@@bigbaba4542 Razor Ruddock would smash them!
Mike literally had full body weight going into every punch, quick, and endless energy! Literally an amazing athlete!
To have full body weight going into every punch he’d have to fall on them from above.
Lmao no, it's more like 1200 lbs of force in his punch

@@TsunayoshiSawadaTenth 🌃 💣 🌆 💣
Not many guys were trained to match him
Ppl need to realize how dangerous Iron Mike Tyson really was! And, had it not been for the distractions outside the ring, the death of his manager, and lack of training, really, no training to the fighters he lost to, He'd be the goat over Ali and possibly retired undefeated. Dude was just that good...💪
Well said. If not beat Ali still..could have gone undefeated. Record goes as 44 KO 50 wins 6 Losses of this Legendary Tyson Bison or we can say
'Talks like a Teddy 🧸"
"Mauls like a Grizzly"
I agree with you and honestly think Don King was the worst thing to ever happen to Tyson.
You're absolutely right.. Don King, Robin givens and other vultures were the reason of his downfall.. But still he has the power which is God gifted.
I couldn't have said it better. Haters of Tyson just don't get it.
Tyson could beat Ali.
THE most complete boxer of his generation. IRON MIKE had it all, a true mastery of the art of boxing, which I doubt we will ever see again in the heavyweight division.
There always another one.
Watching a Tyson fight back then was bigger than the Super Bowl to me. Everyone watched Tyson fight, even people that didn't even watch boxing watched. With Tyson fighting you didn't have to even think about was it going to be worth paying for the fight. Tyson always put on a masterpiece.
All ages also!!
So true. Back then the lighter division champs all came into the ring with glorious regalia and robes. Mike stood in black boots with no socks. He was an animal in the ring.
@@samuelshaw934 And ALL countries tuned into watch Mike too... Well, at least the ones who were friendly with America back then!
No doubt he was one of a kind. Because of the time difference over here in the UK the fights were not normally on until about 4 in the morning (Vegas fights) so I would crawl in from the pub, stay up to watch his fight, normally about two minutes if you were lucky and then off to bed. Luckily in the days before pay per view over here so did not cost anything but certainly worth it. Still like watching the NFL and SB but the boxing is no way near as good as Tyson's era.
It wasn't boxing. It was a gladiator event when Tyson fought.
Commentator: “which hand are you dominant with?”
Mike Tyson: “yeth”
Thanks for this😂😂
Lmao
😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
@Distinct Heart tyson south paw... really ??
Its funny until mike sees this🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I was young and watched these fights, it seemed as if Tyson just destroyed people…which he did. But now that I am older I see how incredibly tough and courageous all his opponents were. They overcame a lot of fear to be in that ring with him.
This Is A True Statement, they were all Warriors fighting The Chief
Don't forget all the millions of dollars they got just to fight with Tyson and it does not matter whether they loose or win.
Mike would only have to give me THAT stare in the middle of the ring with the ref at the start and you wouldn't see my arse for dust, I'd be outta there..!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@FACELOWNER The stare down he gave McNeely was deadly! Pete standing there looking like the buzzard from the Buggs Bunny cartoons!!🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe not the first opponent! Lol...Definitely all after him tho !
That head movement was crazy with perfect timing and precision also those body shots and upper cut was a deadly combination, Iron Mike was a BEAST
We gotta respect how brave his opponents were to keep accepting fights with him.
Yes we really gat to give it to them.. it’s not easy
Better be alot of dam money that guy is scary
Alpha Men don’t back down from any man, Men conquer, David and Goliath come to mind.
Fighting a bunch of nobodies
@@sirvilhelmofyonderland he wasn't fighting you
Back then: Best fighter on planet earth. Today: Most humble person on planet earth. Mad respect for you Mike.
@@shadowunleashed642 Yeah man. He even said that he dident like the man he was in the ring (beast) im so glad he finally found peace, he deverses it more than anyone. Simply an amazing guy.
never ever been near best fighter on the planet...over hyped,underachiever with no big names on his card.People only remember the fights he lost.
@@blazerk.7189 Oh well, lets just agree to disagree :)
@@Bajen8 Sure.Probably older than you...Ali easily the GOAT.Sonny Liston had a better k.o record than Tyson,as does Wilder.
His therapist should win the Nobel prize for peace.
Took Tyson less than 2 hours of total ring time to defeat everyone, win all three belts and become the undisputed world boxing champion! This young man achieved this before he was old enough to buy alcohol! Boxing fans, like myself who experienced this in real time know Tyson is by far the greatest boxer EVER! They used to say if you had tickets to a Tyson fight don't waste money paying for parking just leave your car running at venue entrance because you'll be back in 5 mins! 😃😄😃
All facts! Unbelievable talent but even the greatest Battleship is reduced to "just a target" without its rudder. Who among us could handle the instant fame and money as a 20 y.o.? No one comes to my mind either...
A guy at nineteen is a kid. Tyson at nineteen was a beast and a wrecking machine fighting with 6'4" men and destroying them to pieces. The youngest ever heavyweight world champion at 20, this record will never be beaten.
да, никогда!
To think, that he probably could have won it at 18!
Well, in USA, he's a man at 19. Kobe was 17 with parental approval.
That first fight was really one of Tyson’ most devastating wins. To overcome that height advantage and go toe to toe and finish him was amazing
Hope that guy didn't take any of those uppercuts without his mouth guard
When asked who was his toughest opponent, Tyson said it was that first gut you're talking about.
@@alfonsom8286 Doesn’t surprise. It was a war of attrition.
@@alfonsom8286 He said Tony Tucker and Bonecrusher Smith as well! They're the only ones who went the distance with him in his prime Tony Tucker rattle Tyson and almost knocked him out! His legs were giving out the ropes caught him. Then of course Mike Tyson went to town on him but could not knock him out so he won by unanimous decision
@@AUDIOANDWHIPS2 ' could not knock him out '-thats right ,yet look at the drivel about his power on preceding posts...delusional.
I loved that Tyson never showed off before or after his wins,remained cool,calm and collected👊🏼
Press conference is another story tho lol
he just came to beat up and go home
yes he did too show off before after his first fight with Donovan "Razor"Ruddock he jumped up onto the side of the ring and taunted Evander Holyfield who had watched the fight ringside! and challenged him to go into the lower area of the arena, the bottom level and go into a room to fight lock the door, and said the better fighter will come out with the key! check it out!
@@mcb7691 yeah but he almost always went over to check on his opponent after knocking them into orbit.
@@nathanscott7910 Pete Rivera is who I was replying to initially who said he loved how Tyson never showed off after a fight in this instance he did in my opinion by taunting Evander Holyfield
Tyson is known by many for having the first round and one punch knockouts, but how about these guys that take MANY of his knockout punches, and sledgehammer body shots, yet STILL go rounds with him?
That shit is impressive.
In boxing history no one has this aggressive charging assault with so much confidence as Tyson
APA Ora jelas
In his prime, the perfect combination of speed, skill, power and aggression!
The Bruno fight they almost let.Tyson kill.Bruno. some people just don't fall, but you gotta stop the onslaught
Well said👍
fixes
Don Kings influences sapped all that was at the core and positive in those traits. :(
After looking back on all of these, I'm impressed with Ribalta more than any other Tyson's opponents he beat early on. How did that guy take those shots for 10 rounds? Unreal.
Ribalta was running on adrenaline and mind chatter trying to convince himself, “Nobody has that much speed & power”...After Tyson made a name for himself, half of his opponents were psyched out before they stepped into the ring.😉
For real man, I know any one of those big punches would have laid most men out cold. Ribalta could definitely take a punch and keep in the game to an unreal degree
@@brookdyer6620 Ribalta???????????????????....who TF.
Nahh, look at Pinkerton again. Brutal head shots over and over.
@@TheFadingTheory both nobodies.
In his Prime A Force of Nature Unbeatable..Mike is a Warrior and a Legend
Living master mike dyson😌
That's why Mike tyson was so good at
winning, because he wasn't just boxing
his opponents...he was trying to kill them
too.
Erzähl doch noch mehr Stuß!
If he swung at you and missed you'd still catch pneumonia from the draft...
Ha ha ha love your comment
Hahahaha 😅😃👍
Niceeee
bro your comments is so special
Ahahaha lol 🤣👌
I must have watched Tysons knock out reels about 50 times, it never gets old they still look brutal as ever
i got U by 50 lol
@@lasunsalaam2557 No way my G lol I'm hitting these reels agin
@@shaf811 just watched it AGAIN....Mike Tyson made these "PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS" look like Golden Gloves...
The best quote of all time….”Everyone has a plan until they get hit”
Mike Tyson in an interview "I can beat the vicious guys and outsmart the slicksters". The smart animal is the most dangerous animal.
He's a freaking beast. I remember that some times when I'll take a seat at a bar, ask for a beer and by the time I got my beer. The fight was over. Freaking awesome fighter. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
He never beat a great fighter though 🤷
😂
@@ghanahumber937 i dare u to say that to larry's face!
Greatest of all time!!!
Buster Douglas Evander Holifield proved that Mike was not so great.
That man is a beast... That force in those upper punches is beyond human strength..
same videos in many channels. Stop usa boxing
That combination of body shot followed by an uppercut was so delicious to watch
Well, they didn't knock out Holyfield and he had two chances to do it and was landing flush.
@@Radrook353 He faced Holyfield after his stint in prison. Though still dangerous, post-prison Tyson was just never the same monster as his early 20s counterpart. Holyfield wouldn't have stood a chance against 20-year-old Mike.
His passion and commitment for the sport as a young teen was 24/7! It will probably never happen again.
Amazing how much stamina Tyson had no matter what round it was
One of the many things I respect about Mike is he has no fear he's constantly in his opponents face throwing bombs
he has no choice as an infighter specialist. He was build to be an infighter, so its 100 % his boxing way.
all infighters have the same mindset.
Yes U R Right !!!
I always wonder if modern fighters could figure it out and counter punch his aggressiveness. Back then they were all just overwhelmed and at times scared. I feel like today Tyson’s reckless style would get him knocked out here and there. Maybe…idk. Lol Mike is my all time fav boxer hands down, so I’m just speculating. Hard to imagine how past athletes would do in todays climate with any sport.
There was never anyone like Mike and there will never again be anyone like Mike
My sentiments exactly!
Mike Tyson is one of the all time greats. Truly on some other level. The guy was absolutely incredible.
Tyson is outside top 10 all time HW.
I'm a huge sport fan borned in early 80s. I'm telling you the kids nowadays don’t know what they missed in all these major sports, back then we got Mike Tyson, Micheal Jordan, Diego Maradona, Joe Montana and Wayne Gretzky, and the list goes on. What an era bruh.
I'd be willing to give up ANYTHING just to go back to the 80's!
@@OtomoTenzi me too.
not just for the great fights but for the awesome rock and metal bands
Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Jimmy Snuka, Macho Man Randy Savage, Mr.T, Lawrence Taylor, Reggie Jackson, Goose Gossage, Pat Ewing, ect, and the list goes ON. Love the 80s! Best Era!👍😁
Ummm, the 80's were Magic Johnson. Lakers won 3 titles in the 80's. You're referring to the 90's with Jordan, when all the jocking started with people that never even watched NBA.
@@knucklegame5050 Lynn Swan was the 70's
I love Tyson's footwork, so fast and precise, always keeping him in a position to put his body into his punches and to avoid big shots. For a fighter so busy with his punches, he was hard to hit cleanly.
Mike had Speed , Power, Agility , Calm , Focus, and the Energy to deliver equal blows to opponents throughtout the match .. NEVER AGAIN WILL ANYONE HAVE ALL IN ONE
Prime Ali would whoop his ass
Don't forget can take hits too.
The fact that his arms never tired after throwing constant bombs was amazing.
Prime Tyson would make it a trilogy just saying
@@Sohansen-vr8ph Hard to say. Ali was robbed of his prime.
Devastating Fighter...ribcrushing....brainwrecking....retainer throwing...combo master...Mike was a Beast....he will always be my favorite!!!
You have to admire Tyson's speed and power. What is truly amazing is his footwork and his movement. His placement of his punches echoed from where he was positioned, the power and speed just amplified it.
Fast twitch
This has to be the peak of all peaks of a destructive man. Still amazing to re-watch his past fights. They never get old
Respect to Ribalta. He took a ton. I’m sure MT embraced him afterwards. Mike was a good heart about fighters.
Yes Yes Yes he might beat your ass but boxing is a respect sport even though you get to beat the hell out of your opponents.
Holly molly tug tuff tuff wow
😂😂those eyes he gave mike before the fight lol he gave Mike a look as if he was saying “boy I’m gonna beat the brakes off you”
@smokinjoe11 That man was getting lit up like he was the car in the bonus stage from Street Fighter 2
@@damonsta80 haha. pure evil :)
Total respect to any fighter brave enough to get into a ring with him - in his prime, he was frightening ! Astonishing hand speed, tremendous head movement and footwork all made it very difficult to hit him back, and, at the same time, generated devastating power.
Before the fight started, his death stare was truly chilling. From the first bell, he's straight up and at 'em, in their face - relentless, merciless, utterly savage, until the job's done. The beatings suffered by Thomas, Biggs and Ruddock were especially brutal, even by Tyson's standards.
He wasn't a boxer - he was a black hearted assassin !
That first dude was eating Mikes bombshells for breakfast - as impressive in itself as Mikes powerful punches!
Respect to all the men that stayed in, knowing there were going to go down and continued to fight with all they had against Tyson. Take peace in knowing the loss you took from Tyson was from one of the top 5 greatest of all time. A legend and champion among champions.
not in the top 10 by ANY measure.Sorry.
U damn rite, in my opinion Prime Tyson will always be the undisputed greatest heavyweight to ever step in the ring. The Buster Douglas loss was a combination of lack of training and lack of interest in the sport and most importantly the lack of Cus D'Amato or however u spell it
@@darryllittle7705 please tell me his greatest/legacy fight so I can watch it.
@@darryllittle7705 Plus that crooked-ass referee, who bet against Tyson and then ROBBED him of his victory!
I remember watching every single Tyson fight and remembering that it was a must to start watching well before the match started because it often only lasted a minute or two. Nobody was in his League in the 80’s! He could end careers with that uppercut of his!
I was always ridiculously nervous before his fights.
Dip lift twist decapitate.
Mike's uppercut would kill 95% of the world's population.
I still get goosebumps watching the stuff now.
I'm only 37, but watching back it feels like another dimension. He's changed so much, it was such a different exciting time back then
Larry Holmes’ grandkids came out of the womb dizzy from that one two punch by Tyson!😂
To this day boxing hasn't seen excitement like Mike🥊
Respect to Ribalta for having stood back up and come back to the fight after taking the beating and brutal punches he took. Many would have faked KO to stop earlier. My God I would not want to be his neurons… but he clearly is very courageous.
What most people don't give Tyson credit for is his impeccable defensive skills moving forward. I've never seen anyone evade an attack while stepping into them quite like Mike. He had incredible ring intelligence and masterful timing
In his attack though, his power really came from his legs, squatting down before generating tremendous force driving from his feet, legs, hips and shoulders. His fists were just the messenger. He often threw the least amount of punches but landed so many of the ones he did throw making him one of the most accurate hitters ever
By the way, regardless what the judges said Tyson won that Roy Jones jr fight 😑
I think you mean impregnable...
@@TheBrandonbc I meant impeccable... Unless you're referring to his "My style is impregnable, I want to eat his babies" interview? Lol
One moment comes to mind..in the 1st rd against Berbick, Tyson slipped probably one of the fastest, heaviest left hooks I've ever seen thrown. Incredibly difficult to even land a punch on him in his early years...he was so damn good.
@@JamesinAZ I know exactly the moment you're talking about!!! Whenever I see it, I always replay it a few times just to admire his movement and speed
Tyson beat Roy Jones Jr. Tyson wasn't really trying to hurt Jones.
Tyson was one of the most exciting fighters in the ring, especially the 2 fights with Ruddock.
@oddity21 Yeah. Razor had heart.
Tyson was the best. Lennox Lewis was my second favorite to watch back then
Ruddock will or should never be in the same sentence as Mike.
U high asf.... A joke
I agree. When Mike was at his most dangerous the only body that really gave him a fight was the Razor. Buster was a fluke.
@@manabouttongue That's right. Buster had big fluke. Tyson was without training and after a trip to Japan and Buster was saved by the gong. He could regain his strength and condition, enough to overcome a very tired Tyson
Mike shows the importance of having core strength, it generates devastating power with the follow through.
Loved it when Tyson said "Biggs has been saying alot , it's gunna be a slow night for him , Friday "
and it sure was 👌👑
you had to have some heart to step into the ring with Tyson, he was every kids hero in the 80's
To face Tyson when he was at his best, you literally needed to be ready to DIE...
It's deep when reality sets in and fighters run into the fact of how truly powerful Tyson was.
U mean bums, Tyson never beat or did anything really to any good boxer.
@@dikobraz3556 Its opinion but I disagree. Tyson has one of the best boxing records amongst all-time greats. People are good for trying to discredit him. The bums card to he lost in the 90's to greats. But its all opinions and not relevant to his outstanding record. All fighters don't defeat the top boxer's of their era. That doesn't diminish their achievements. A 50-6 record in the Heavyweight division is no small achievement. No excuses, a successful boxing record amongst Legends is valid. Win-loss-draws are a statistical method of evaluating where a fighter ranks. The bums card doesn't carry weight over his outstanding record
@@dikobraz3556 you’re a joke.
@@trevinhickman9022 All Time Greats? Who? You obviously don’t know shit about boxing! What all time great has Tyson beat besides an old Larry Holmes? I’ll wait?
@@person4009 No he’s right and you don’t know shit about boxing! Name one big name fighter Tyson has beat?
People overlook the fact that we never got a "prime" version of Tyson. He was a kid, still learning a lot about the game, and very much a student of the sport when he was thrust into the title picture at 19-20 years old. Then as champion, was manipulated by a villainous and greedy woman, and another even more despicable man in Don King, who led to him firing his corner and believing himself invincible. At age 23, he goes to prison for 4.5 years, (somehow) ends up back with Don King, and has tomato cans lined up in front of him before facing Evander Holyfield. Tyson had no interest in taking fighting seriously after the age of 21, and would mostly headhunt in the fights instead of displaying his tactical combinations and body shots.
Ali gave away prime years for being a coward about the draft, and was forgiven with an asterisk when he lost to Joe Frazier and Ken Norton (all three times, but was gifted two illegitimate wins). Tyson had far more obstacles in his situation, yet was laughed at for losing to Holyfield and declared a never-was.
So when Tyson should have been giving us his "prime" from 23-30 or so, he was instead wasting his time, his talents, his money, and his freedom with bad people and prison. It was a case of perhaps the most wasted talent in sports history. And yet he STILL was as impressive as he was, and perhaps the most memorable heavyweight champ of all-time because of the way he fought. SIDE NOTE: He also wasn't a slugger who got tired after 4 rounds as some have claimed, as evidenced by the fact that fights with Ribalta, Ruddock, Green, and others, he was still as fast and powerful in round 10 as he was in round 1. The guy had the work ethic and fitness in his early days to go the whole way. It was always about his motivation, not his fitness.
Ali was not a coward in any sense of the word is the only exception I would make to your statement. He did not see the purpose in going to Vietnam and he had no grudge with Vietnamese people and he didn’t really believe in the domino theory or the greater geopolitical game.
But listen to him confront this white heckler in a video on UA-cam where he says “those people never called me the N-word“, those people never did anything to me. He is filled with fire and then indignation and there’s nothing funny about it. You can say a lot of things about Ali, but coward isn’t one of them.
@@kitrichardson2165 yeah tell'em
Ali a coward? Lol. Going against the government took far more courage than going to Vietnam to do matches. At that time America wasn't even treating black people right, yet they sent us to the Frontlines.
With cus and kevin he would of retired undefeated and led a totally different life as you say a terrible shame and waste of real boxing talent in comparison to the boring fight e See today
@@mylsey1511
Not a chance in hell. Tyson wasnt even top 5 of the 90s and the mid 80s HW era was a f#€king joke.
I know Tyson was a different animal, but credit to that man 8:38 for not giving up. pure warrior DNA 👏🏾
For real. Look at his determination to stand as his body keeps giving out. That man's heart still had fight left.
it was an honor to see this man in his prime. To me, he is the best ever. He was the devil in a sport of demons. That face he made as he swung for power showed his killing intent.
But with darkness come the light. He is the best.
facts
Recently, I read a post from someone who said that Mike was one of the few fighters Ali said he would not want to mix it up with. So that's a hell of compliment to Tyson!!!
I was born in 1961. I remember the 'controversy' of Cassius Clay becoming Muhammad Ali. My dad, a boxing fan, born in 1921, who knew the guys from the Great Era, Joe Louis, Max Schmeling, Marcel Cerdan, Rocky Marciano, let me stay up to watch the fights between Frazier, Forman, Norton, Clay/Ali. The Rumble In The Jungle. The Thrilla In Manila. I did a bit of boxing myself. Some French boxing (Savate) too. But I was too lazy to excersise properly. Relying on my natural speed and very hard punch. I destroyed a boxing machine once at a local fairground. But that ain't enough to make it as a pro, or even as an amateur.
Watching Mike Tyson in the eighties, I didn't really like him. Too much of an animal. No real boxer, I thought. Just a lion jumping at its prey. Kept clawing until the prey was conquered.
Later, rewatching some of his bouts, I came to realise that Tyson was close to a genius. Maybe without realising it himself. The talent, the intelligence, the movement, the speed, the punch, the determination, the rage. He had the best parts of all the great boxers who came before him. And at the time, because of an unsimpathetic press, he wasn't seen for what he was. Misjudged, mis-interpreted, misunderstood, miscast and even outcast.
Today, I see him for what he is and has always been. A Great Man and after Ali, the best boxer to ever walk this planet. And I like him. For what he was and for what he is today. Respect.
Thanks for sharing.
You forget his insane accuracy. He lands almost all of his shots beautifully and it's bullseye every time at vital points.
He's a god damn sniper running on full auto mode
tyson said - its hard man, cause i'm a counterpuncher too. i just do it with a lot of aggression 🥊
Great footwork.
Great defence.
Great offence.
Great positioning.
Great stamina
Great chin.
And it all flowed so naturally you as I needed some years to actually see and appreciate it.
fight commentator - "The first punch sent his mouth piece flying and the second punch sent something else flying out of his mouth, I hate to even think what that was."
I literally choked on the popcorn I was eating when he said that!
😂😂😂
I think that was the future POTUS Donald Trump who said that...
@@burnoutn9 lol
The second thing wah the soul leaving the body
Tyson was, in a word, terrifying. His power, strength and destructive force were truly frightening. I can't imagine the fear his opponents must have felt. Sad that he got involved with Don King.
Drug cheat
True to everything you've just said. Don King was the 2nd worst thing to happen to Tyson after RobinGivens. A real piece of shxt next to Don King. They both suck as humans. Scum of the earth that's how I see them. They're nothing but 2 venomous 🐍. Mike Tyson is better off without those 2 🐍.

As hard as he hits, it overshadowed his defense, which really was impregnable
Douglas would beg to differ?
@@wesleypresley1000 Tyson had Douglas on the mat for almost 14 seconds, doesnt really matter what he says. Also Tyson never trained for that fight, showed up doped out of his mind and drunk. Still technically beat Douglas before he finally got Tyson. If you dont believe me, simply watch the fight, the ref wasnt counting him out. Now to be fair, most of that is on Tyson, totally his own fault, I admit that. But at that point, thats just who Tyson was. He no longer deserved to win, because he no longer cared.
He could bob & weave with the best of them.
it was one of his weak points when boxers started hitting back they got through without too much problem
@@larrylewis1661 ~ that was after prison. He wasn’t as good. Before prison, he was as good defending as he was hitting

The ultimate killing machine. Man nobody even close to him when he was in his prime.

Imagine being the current heavyweight champion of the world & in your next fight you are considered the underdog against and up-and-coming newcomer... That's how good Mike Tyson was!

@@llynellyn, exactly, lol!
I believe that IF Cus hadn’t have passed away when he did, and Mike hadn’t have parted company with Kevin Rooney, he would’ve undoubtably been an immense force in the Heavyweight division, and possibly becoming THE Greatest of all time. The only man to beat Mike Tyson, was Tyson himself. You cannot go to prison for 6years, come out, and still be as good as you were, NO ONE can do that! However, Mike has gone on to become a better human being nowadays, than he was back then. He will always be a favourite of mine, no matter what. 🥊
You are exactly correct….
Arfa M: You are "right as rain." There's not another professional athlete who had to overcome what Mike did. That began as a youngster and followed him through his career. That P O S, Don King, will burn in hell. He screwed over everyone associated with him. I don't give a damn what anyone thinks, or believes. Tyson overcame more in one year than others will have to try and overcome during a lifetime. I have more respect for him than anyone else in all of professional sports. Mike, you keep hanging tough. Screw the haters and doubters.
He would of been the pound for pound the best to ever do it
No, better, bigger more skilled fighters with more heart beast Tyson.
Even with all the shit he had to go thru. His is the most technical and most powerfull boxer ever. And in my eyes the nr 1 in the ring then and now at 53 years old in life.
McNeely had some balls because at that time everyone was scared to get in the ring with Iron Mike
For me, the real tragedy about Mike is how society and the media painted the picture of him being vicious or a monster. True, he was an aggressive athlete but he was so humble in the beginning. Always respectful of his opponents after the fight. After Cus died he didn't have the direction or discipline to keep him straight and life whipped his azz. There was nobody to tell him no. Add to that going to jail for a crime you didn't commit and that sweet humble young man became cold and calloused. I am a fan 4life; he is an amazing athlete. Watching him in the ring was awe inspiring even though you knew it was only gonna last a couple rounds, if that. The sport of boxing owes him a tribute.
What amazes me is the killer blows that Tyson could take also... love watching his fights..
There will never be another Tyson.
Mike is a legend, no matter what. He absorbed what his coach taught him. Cus D'Amato, his legacy remains till today through Mike Tyson. One sentence: Mike, both loved him and feared him. What a wonderful relationship! They were inseparable.
Mike you are a remarkable man and a great human much respect to you bro!!!
Its pretty crazy how he was able to throw so many consecutive punches all with equal power
Steriods.
@@keaponlaffin6737 there's no evidence of him using steroids.
It's the advantage of his build, coordination, strength and athletic ability. He had the speed to get inside quickly, threw insanely fast combinations with short powerful arms and had KO power in both hands. If he couldn't do that......he was in trouble. At that point, he actually had to think his way through a fight and reach down deep to win. Many times he couldn't(or wouldn't even try to) find a way to win. That kept him from being great. But he was still a very unique heavyweight that was as exciting as any heavyweight in history. Couldn't wait to see a Tyson fight in the late 80s!
@oddity21 I don't get why people think that was true. There was two versions of Tyson. The fighter, before prison, and the one after. He went the distance against a very tough fighter in (34-0) Tony Tucker. Once Tyson figured out that the guy wasn't going to succumb to his aggressive style, Tyson adapted to out-boxing him for the decision. Tyson very much adapted his game plan for that fight, when he couldn't overpower Tucker.
@oddity21
*Watches fight for the 4th time.*
That's not what happened in that fight.
Tyson was pressing in the 1st round, got stunned by an uppercut, but stayed aggressive with Tucker holding onto Tyson, anytime he got hit.
The second round led to Tyson working the body and then going to the head. He was getting the better of Tucker, but kept himself in check from leaving his chin open.
About round 6 is when Tyson got on his bicycle and started working the jab to great affect. Tucker had landed a abysmal 22% of his jabs by the 4th round and by the 8th Tyson had landed 76% of his.
Tyson was straight up working his jab and wearing Tucker down. Tyson stayed patient and hunkered down for the long haul. He's not one dimensional like Deontay Wilder.
He has definitely come a long way .. It's amazing listening to him talk about his struggles and life in general and is far more thoughtful and articulate and has insight and real wisdom.. much more than most people would ever expect judging by his earlier days.. I wouldn't get in the ring with him.. no way
I love Mr. Tyson and his incredible live journey. He said, " I was a beast. But Cus died before he taught me how to turn it off." Deep on so many levels.
These punches are crazy. Every single punch sprays sweat from opponents head. That's some heavy impacts.
Super fit and fast you can see when he connected it stuns his opponent the sheer power💥
murderous intent behind every punch.. you can see it. Dude was trying to knock people's heads into orbit. To be that fast and powerful at 20 years old is amazing. Most of us are barely a year or two removed from high school working at Mcjobs.. and this guy was on the path to being a world champ at 20.
Well said! >: D
Sure
There is no soft punches in Tyson's Booklist👍
Back then it was not a public sport ..just go in and knock him out ...job done .
Tyson forever always
Relentless. However when you look into his soul a very troubled man. Technically brilliant. A legend. Just watch his eyes = pure intention.
BAD intentions is the correct term xD
Mike Tyson is amazing genuine ginus dering feerless brilliant thanks for sharing your experience with us ❤❤❤❤❤
Even though these other contenders lost, they had the cajones to go one on one in the ring with the force of nature that was mike Tyson. Props to each and every one of them.
He had the intimidation of Liston, the speed of Ali, the endurance of Marciano, but most of all his own impatience, which turned out to be his weakness. He hated the ring bell. He was in a race with time. He was so good he depreciated boxing in general. Most opponents look like they're thrown in the lion's cage.
Nah like jack Dempsey
most opponents he beat were journey men or past their use by.
Don King in his later years was his "weakness" King wanted him fighting as often as he did when he was younger (King Greed) but of course his trainers new he needed a little extra time between fights to rest and train for the next fighter but King wouldn't have it . Hence inner turmoil between King and Mikes' trainers , Mike lost his Long time (from the beginning) trainers and his "weakness" began ! Don't be a know it all , I was from CATSKILL NY , LIVED THERE FOR MANY YEARS AND YES , WHEN MIKE WAS THERE !
@@d.bruckner3459 So what....too many excuses for Tyson...we must judge him on actual FACTS....over rated big time.Tell me his legacy fight.
“im jack dempsey im sonny liston IM FROM THEIR CLOTH nobody can match me” hes simply the greatest
5:36
That referee dodged that wild swing of Tyson like a champ lol
Those Tysons precise elbows helped! Win by any means possible!
This video did an outstanding job illustrating Mike's ability to fight his way inside the bigger opponents and use his speed and power to get them out. Mike's 2 best fights in my opinion are his fights with Donovan "Razor" Ruddock. Mike proved in those 2 fights that he had an excellent chin and could still fight at an extremely high level despite the loss of Kevin Rooney as trainer. Mike was the best and I was very lucky to get the opportunity to grow up watching him.
Excellent chin? Are you kidding? Maybe in the late 1980s and early 1990s (a weak heavyweight period) he had successes against cherry picked fairly weak opponents (aging Holmes, Spinks, Birbeck) to add to his myth; no doubt. Then out of prison he came into the golden age of heavyweight bouts. He couldn’t hack it and resorted to biting and breaking arms. A weak mental fighter and that was his downfall.
But enjoy all the big slugs against the weak opponents all you like…
Gotta agree.. Tyson showed a lot in those two fights.. That, when he trains hard and is focused in on his opponent, he can go all 12 rounds and not look tired.. Like he did against Busta Douglas, Evander Holyfield, and others he lost to.. I don't think they would've out boxed Tyson had he trained
@@KP-yq8id Finally, someone who understands boxing. Tyson looked good against a lot of second rate fighters. IMO young Ali would have beaten Tyson. But that's just a fantasy fight.
Just imagine if Cus would have been around for 5 or 6 more years? As it is Mike is an awe inspiring example of what a human being is capable of. Even more amazing is the wonderful person Mike has become since those early days, God bless him and his family.
Mike blew 200 million dollars… there is nothing inspiring about him
@@markspark3360
Always rise when you fall. However, do you know him, do you feel his pain, did you walk in his shoes, et cetera?
God bless 🙏🍀❤
Tyson could handle defeat. That's why Ali was the greatest. He could handle defeat.
I guess I choose to not judge Mike on is mistakes when he was in his 20s. I honestly don't know how I would have done had I gone from absolute poverty to incredible wealth and notoriety in my 20s with no family or mentors to help me make wise decisions. I for one can admit that I was far from perfect when I was in my 20s and I had a rather "normal" life. I have watched him turn into a very thoughtful honest and seemingly compassionate man. It seems he has found success and happiness. So I say Good for him!
If Cus was still around at the time, he would never let Don King anywhere near Mike.
That uppercut coming up first on the list was so lethal
I remember watching Mike win the title, I was in England ,I had never been so captivated and intimidated at the same time before.
RESPECT to all the men that fought Tyson but what a boxer Tyson was !!!!!!
Definitely the best of his era no question!
Well, he still is. I am praying for that Logan Paul guy. I pray he won't die in the ring.
This first fight I really appreciate that referee if he didn't stop the fight that guy would have gotten hurt permanently....What raw Power...
That's not raw. It's refined and practice until Perfection power
@@thatdudepulledupmaddogin Have you ever fought in the Ring Sir?I have.Tyson was knocking out and robbing ppl at 13-14 he never trained then, that's raw power exp for his hight..I hope you learn something here..God Bless.
@@johnnyh.9327 Yea bro I trained when I was 15. 5 days a week 3 hours a day in the gym. 1st learned footwork before they let me throw my first punch. I know how to work a heavy bag, speed bag and double end bag. I know how to throw a jab, left hook, uppercut and straight right. I moved so was forced to give it up. I'm no professional by any definition but I do know the sweet science. As crazy as this may sound what I miss the most is the smell and the sound of fists hitting bags. Hardest thing I've ever undertaken. U don't gotta believe me, it don't make any difference either way. Some are stronger than others but there is trained and untrained. What i meant was it wasn't raw anymore. It was finely tuned power. He had natural power. Same meaning just different way of explaining it is all. What weight class were U? U turn pro?
@@johnnyh.9327 my mind and eyes are wide open. So what u gonna teach me?
@@thatdudepulledupmaddogin I taught you how to explained by writing.. That's a start..😜✌️👌
Wow I remember that Thomas fight, I couldn't believe how much of a beating he took!!
An excellent recounting - letting the fighters speak for themselves plus your occasional explanatory interjections was exactly all that was needed. Thanks a lot!
Incredible speed and power! My favorite fighter of all time! Dynamic, explosive! In his prime no one ever most feared!
damn!!...he was really trying to kill his opponents...
and at one point in his career when he and Robin Givens were having marital problems he was even trying to kill some of his sparring partners!! trying to take some of the frustration out on them you couldn't have paid me enough to spar him back then or now! Lol
In later fights it was mind-blowing as to some of the angles Mike threw punches even. I recall one fight when he swung downward towards the opponents midsection and it landed. He was a monster when he was in top form. He was a phenom for sure.
The power he hits with his fists looks like he say metal ball attached to them. Opponents are like papers in his fists! Truly incredible, I think he’s the strongest ever, even though the shortest. Incredible power bombs
Rebalta's staredown: 'im trying to make you scared'.
Mike's staredown: 'MEAT'
Have a look at Screamin' Jay Hawkins - "I'll put a spell on you"..same expression, 😁
Tyson is incredible I'm now 45 going on 46 and there still isn't anyone as bad as Tyson Tyson you were my idol you are still my idol good job for knocking out Holmes for Muhammad Ali we all love you
Prime Tyson was unstoppable. Pure perfection. Really enjoyed the video.
The crazy thing, there is still no one alive that could match Tyson in his prime. Pure domination
Jake Paul 🙌
@@TJ-ov4ld jake takes him in a round ez askren intimidates tyson so badly he cannot make the ring walk
@@user-ec7jl4fg1p lmao
@@TJ-ov4ld it’s funny because Tyson will one hit KO Jake lol
i dare to say he probably better than Ali cause he had to overcome size of opponent with speed, skill and power. Ali was already big and he was good.
