@J McComb totally understand your point but you cannot deny the fact that it shows good sportsmanship to care for your opponents. I know he is not a saint but the guy had a harsh life.
*No-one ever talks about his defense* . Every single one of those knockouts follows some awe-inspiring feat of elusivity. The dude moved flawlessly and effortlessly and had the timing of an expert ballet dancer. He slips and bobs better than anyone.
I remember watching this video a homeless man in New York a year ago. Seeing this brought tears to my eyes as how much better my life is now and this video is still here. Never give up in life. No condition is permanent
And even as you watch this video, the rich get even richer, 🤔 I don't know who really needs to hear this, you need to stop saving money. Invest some of it, if you really want financial freedom. I'm happy your story changed for good
@@charlessmith3489 You're right friend. We're all not born with the Silver spoon, but we have to craft ours. My divorce almost ended my life. I had almost nothing to fall back to..I found out the hard way, savings are overrated. Thank God for a stroke of luck and cryptocurrencies>
@morimo11 No, he was just an aggressive fighter who got into the ring to win. Also if he had any bad intent he wouldn’t of gone over to his opponent at the end of fights and tell them they did good.
@@jeffrandall4046 yep, nobody’s arguing about that. I’m talking about many before that dude but apparently you didn’t watch the video or actually know anything about the guy in his early career.
There will never be another fighter like Mike Tyson! He was so explosive and dangerous as well as smart in the ring. He was also a great sport and always went to help an opponent and even hug them after the fight. So happy to have watched his amazing career. Love him!
He didn't help them get up out of sportsmanship though, he was just taking the opportunity to further humiliate them and whisper in their ear they're garbage. He was arrogant and a punk but great boxer, nonetheless.
Peekaboo style at its finest. He used his constant head movement to set up his punches too. The thing I find most impressive was how he seamlessly changed stances constantly. He would knock so many people out with lead left hooks because he shifted to southpaw as he was throwing it so he could follow through with his left leg planted back and shift back into orthodox for the next punch. It's really not easy to move like that and generate that kind of power with both hands. His technique was flawless.
Will never forget... living in Europe his fights were very late in the night. So as a young guy I had to use the alarm clock to see him live. If you missed the alarm by 5 mins the fight was over and you only saw the interviews... lol GOAT
Yeah, I was mostly late for work on those days. It was usually 39 seconds of sheer force! Tyson was a legend. Bruno was never the same after that fight. As a Brit, I had rooted for him but Tyson was a superior fighter.
Mr. Mike has love .....!!! But in the ring that’s his job , and when it’s all over his love shows again that he learn from his mom/dad the trainers that took him in . IRON + ❤️ = Respect
I saw a video of Ali talking to mike tyson and Ali said in my prime Tyson would win. I agree two different types of fighters. Tyson gets in there does the job and if you blink you miss the fight . I love Mike Tyson. He's a good person also
He lost his sportsmanship after Gus died. He became angry at the world and built up a crazy huge ego. The thing that saved him was "the toad". After tripping his balls off
One of Iron Mike's many greatest assets was his monstrous ANGER. He was mentored by one of boxing's early masters, Cus G and that was a hallmark of Cus' strategies as well. Bobbing his head was also a signature Cus move of his significant training. Speed, low center of gravity, brawn and ANGER! What a combination, and hasn't been seen since Iron Mike retired. Nobody worked the speed bag as ferociously as Tyson. Literally as brutal as a HUMAN TANK with no other distractions from the time he was a teenager, fighting every match like his life depended on it!
Wow that's really one thing I loved to see today..but why his arrests and all bar fights , looks like someone really plotted for his downfall.. he looks such a cool guy in his prime
That reminds me of a fight, not against Tysion, but with a fellow Brit, Amir Khan ... The guy was a talented amateur. Hell, he won an Olympic Sliver medal in his weight. After that, he decided to turn pro, which everyone thought was a mistake. Even Frank Warren, the famous promoter, himself said that Khan still had a lot to learn, as although he won 101-9 fights as an amateur, the Pro circuit is altogether different. That saying, his first few professional fights went well, until a fight came along that was a preliminary one towards an actual title bout, and the first match to air on the pay-per-view Sky Box Office. Hardly surprising, given that Khan held a Olympic Silver medal, that fight against a relatively unknown Brazilian, was hyped to the stratosphere. Sky made it sound like it was going to be the fight of the decade. But the Brazilian was no push over. He may have fought less than 50 fights, but had zero losses, and most of his wins were pure KOs. I remember all of that well, because I went to a pub with a great mate of mine, to watch the fight. I ordered in the pints, just before the bell went, while my mate went for a piss. In that time, Khan was knocked down, twice. First time, he got up, and although a bit wobbly, still threw a fair good punches. But then he got sledgehammered, sending into a corner, before sliding down the ropes, onto the mat, for a brief nap. The whole thing lasted less than 50s. So my mate came back, looked up the the screen, and wondered what the hell had happened. He wouldn't believe me that Khan was floored in the the time it took for him to have a piss, until they showed a replay, in both real time, and slow motion. My friend, whom boxed as an amateur himself --- and learned that whilst he had a strong left hand, had a glass jaw, so he quit whilst still ahead --- shooked his head in disbelief at how much of a glass jaw Khan had ... and still has ... So, yeah, been in a kinda similar situation ... you get some beers in, settiling yourself down for it to go the distance, only for it to end even before you finish your first pint ...
I remember my uncle got a PPV Tyson fight and invited all his brothers over. He ran upstairs at the start of the fight to get beer or snacks or something. By the time he ran back down, the fight was already over.
Tyson is such a facinating person. So fierce, yet notice how helps his oppenents up and checks on them after knocking them out, no showboating or boasting
Paul None In his prime Tyson was probably a top 10 heavy of all time. Now, anyone who puts Mike in the top 3 or so, just shows they know absolutely nothing about the sport of prize fighting. I like Mike and have nothing but respect for what he has done with his life. Those idiots who believe that Tyson (at 53) could beat a descent fighter make me laugh. They talk about Tyson's one punch KO power (which he never had) for the reason why he could whip anybody. Tyson was a cumulative puncher, not a one shot type like say a young Roberto Duran in his prime. No, Mike hit you you 5,6,7 punches or more to weaken you and crack you that great uppercut to put his man down and out. Stay retired Michael & stay healthy bro'.
@@shialabeouff180 Watching Tyson fight for 40 seconds was arguably more entertaining than watching almost anyone else in the sport at that time go the distance. Had you been following Tyson's career at that point (assuming the original commenter was referring to Tyson in his prime) it's unlikely you would've been thinking about a refund.
Then you've never heard of Rocky Marciano. As yet no one has matched Marciano's record - 49 fights for 49 wins. Retired at age 32 as undefeated champion.
@@aaronmaytom6667 I sincerely doubt that. Yes, Ali was fast and nimble, but please keep in mind how much more training, technique, and nutrition was researched in Mike's time. Then add the street fighting character on top and I think Ali just can't keep up.
Even though he talked himself up I like that he assisted in helping the people he pummeled back up and the first to extend a hand to his opponent when being declared the victor. Mike is a class act!
I was saying the same thing the other day when a few buddies and myself were talking about all the pay per view money we wasted watching Tyson KO guys in the 1st or 2nd round. He was always there lending a hand to help someone up or hold them until the other guys team could get there to keep him fromm falling flat. Ya he may have ate an ear buy by that time he was so screwed up from money grabbing ex wife and his p.o.s. manager Don King.....if DeMotto was still alive through Tysons career he would have been the greatest in history.
You really missed a special time. He’s a couple years older than me- so he was really someone I looked up to in regards to boxing. He was very quick and he way he used his hips to generate even more power- was second to none.
Not only was Tyson devastatingly fast and extremely strong, he was also very technical in his fights. You can see him studying his opponent and adapting for the fastest knockout.
Its skill its the way he hit he didnt throw punches he pushed them and none of them were conventional they were half hook half uppercut and half haymaker half hook! Its the way he hit them it was directional and caused full brain traumer left right top bottom front and back! It was all shot placement
No kidding, such confidence in his strikes too, in some of his fights he is so clearly aware of when his punch knocked an opponent out that he just stops after the punch and puts the gloves down. Scary how well he figures out his opponents
That slow mo on frazier getting assaulted was... Man. 9:40 You could see his soul leave his body, straight exorcism. The next punch put him in the grave and the last one to read him his last rights. Rest in pieces man.
In all his matches, his discipline, his actions show his respect for his opponent. He made sure they were okay, and he went to shake their hands acknowledging their efforts. Its a rare sight to see that kind of behavior these days. He was humble in victory.
That act alone makes Iron Mike my favorite athlete, dude has a good heart. He also has the heart of a champion and puts his all in everything he does. For example, I'm also a great fan of his voice-over work (I'm a voice over artist and actor myself.) He is the Hercules of our time and I hope he stays safe while continuing to promote a warriors spirit for years to come.
Never seen these fights as I was too young but this is one of the best documentarys showing Mike's ferocious skills in the ring. It's actually ridiculous how hard and fast he is for his size. I feel so unhealthy when I watch athletes it's depressing.
Rocky m. Never lost a pro fight once..... Not even one. I'm sorry I can't spell the guys last name, but Rocky m. Is the ONLY undefeted boxer ever..... Never lost one fight...
Imagine getting the knockout of your life only to be picked up by the culprit saying with a very tender juvenile voice "IM THHO THORRY BRO YOU OK". I'd have that face too. LOL
@@lazer_16gamingz76 yeah lol I mean he's cocky as shit for sho I guess that's why he was so calm had a pretty good record something like 6 losses out of 58 fights
Mike was known for his power, speed and aggression. As time goes on, I think more people come to appreciate what a skilled boxer he was. I certainly have.
Rocky marciano a small heavy weight hit so hard he'd hit the arms of his apponent after a few rounds they're arms were hurting it was Harder to defend. slowed em down ...rocky 48 -0
No surprise to me this fight with Marvise Frazier was his fattest, clearly Tyson had to do Frazier so fast,with pin point accurate shot's. Remember in Marvices corner none other than all time great SMOKING JOE FRAZIER, who was one of only 4 boxers to make Ali hit the canvass.

I have seen many of MTs fights but seeing them back to back I noticed how much he seemed to genuinely respect and check on his opponents after he annihilated them. There were the ones he was only looking to "murder", but especially in his earlier career he seemed more likely to help them off of the mat than their own corner... I respect that. Definitely one of boxing's greats.
@@kanyeslostson : It's funny you say that. That happened to me way back in '90 too. We paid for Tyson vs Tillman (June 16, 1990/ 14:47 in this video). I knew the fight wasn't going to last long but I didn't expect it to end that fast. I felt ripped off. Lol
One thing that made Mike Tyson such a great fighter was his height, he never fought somebody shorter than him. This meant he always had the reach "disadvantage", which he actually turned into his greatest advantage, it meant that he could engage more of his body in his punches as he had too close the distance, once he was in there his shorter arms meant he could pummel them with full punches. While their longer arms meant they couldn't.
@@Crusader953 it's one of the things often ignored, especially about shorter fighters. As then it would make the reach advantage stat useless, it's one of the reasons they never mentioned it when Tyson fought, as it would reveal that it's pretty much totally psychological.
A retired heavy weight world champion who came back to fight have forseen an inferior holder of belt, so you trained in him to defeat him, and so he raised the strength of heavy weight champions Iron Mike Tyson BOXING HERO
🤣🤣🤣 ikr like who tf told me to get in this ring with this beast. Mortgage and child support is due ..dammit I forgot lol..I've seen many of Mike's knockout fights and they're vicious and scary 😬😬😬..🤣 wouldn't be me
Man...Mike was a gracious competitor. Runnng over to help the guy up. Thats why I think he's the greatest heavyweight of all time. You were IT Iron Mike!! 👊
Very True. Tyson may have talked a lot of Smack before a Fight to get inside his opponents heads but he always would try to help his opponents up after he knocked them out
Eventually, they all come to the end in their career...retirement or losses. In their prime though, the star shines bright. Iron Mike was an amazing fighter with a unmatched punch. He'll always be in that elite group at the top. Im just glad we have so much film to watch for years to come.
You're joking. He never had a hard decent opponent. Only good against bums. Evander and Buster put him in his place. If he was in the era of the Kings, he wouldn't last 3 rounds. No match against Earnie, Foreman, Liston, and the Great Ali
Money has changed definitely. Boxers get paid more to build hype for a fight. The camps are still usually only like 1-2 months, but the hype of who is he fighting next builds anticipation and that brings more cash. Mayweather (idk how to spell it) did that the best, so he got paid the best. His style was pretty boring, but the hype and anticipation of seeing him lose brought millions to his pockets.
Fighters did fight more often back then, but Tyson was very active even for his era. It's easier to fight more often when you're messing up opponents quickly.
Can't remember where, or when, I heard this, but even when Ali was clearly ill, nevertheless he still practiced a few punches to a bag. The male physiotherapist, whose job it was to keep the bag still, said once he was glad the the boxing bad was between the two of them, because even though Ali was slowly getting weaker, nevertheless, I seem to recall the guy saying something along the lines of "he still landed punches on that thing like a freight train. Had I not put all my strength into it, I would have been easily on the floor. God only knows what would have happened if he actually hit me, instead of the bag ... chances are, he would have knocked me clean out ..." ... Once you have developed muscle meto the point its reflexive, without conscious thought, even if Tyson turned 80, unless all that muscle turned into flab, being punched by him may still feel very well like being hit by a box of 45lb sledgehammers, travelling at the speed of a freight train...
During my Quarantine, I have watched everything under the sun , but only a Mike Tyson knock out compilation will make a person completely forget about the virus 🙄
How did someone with such talent have it so rough and unpredictable in his personal life? Did he just not want to listen to anyone who wanted to help him personally in the late 80's /90's? It must have been a crazy opportunistic time for those around him that watched him sink.. truly an amazing piece of art as far as an athlete.
Seeing Tyson caring for his opponents and showing respect made him a winner already.
And he’s so humble. Like the dude is a beast but hes always joking like he’s not
Good sportsmanship👍

So true, he passage helped them up and made sure they were okay
yeah tyson said his trainer told him to be intimiading so he looks scary but really he was a okay guy. (sorry if i spelled some words wrong)
And when he bit a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear off, he even spat it out so he could have it back.

Me and my friends drove 7 hours to watch Mike Tyson fight in Memphis and the fight lasted like 40 seconds haha
worth
I would want a refund so like u just watched a fight for 40 seconds and then just left or was their other fighters
@@shialabeouff180 Watching Tyson fight for 40 seconds was arguably more entertaining than watching almost anyone else in the sport at that time go the distance. Had you been following Tyson's career at that point (assuming the original commenter was referring to Tyson in his prime) it's unlikely you would've been thinking about a refund.
Coll story 😎
Cgq
Tyson was such a phenomenon. It was like Super Bowl Sunday every time he stepped into the ring
Amazing sportsmanship! A true legend, I don't believe anyone will ever be as good as he was in his prime!!!
someone certainly will
@@YSleepish Yeah eventually someone will be...Maybe in like 500 years give or take a millenia or so.....
He was a good man
Then you've never heard of Rocky Marciano. As yet no one has matched Marciano's record - 49 fights for 49 wins. Retired at age 32 as undefeated champion.
😅 Tyson was only 24 (in his prime) when he ducked Holyfield to get knocked out by Douglas
Total respect to all the fighters that had the balls to step into the ring with Iron Mike in his prime.
@@chrisstairs2237 absolutely agreed
is it worth getting your head cracked for 13 M$ ? obviously. you'd have to pay me more.
You had to have very large balls or a very small brain.
I reckon Ali in his prime would of got Mike
@@aaronmaytom6667 I sincerely doubt that. Yes, Ali was fast and nimble, but please keep in mind how much more training, technique, and nutrition was researched in Mike's time. Then add the street fighting character on top and I think Ali just can't keep up.
Iron Mike is a LEGEND I remember back in the 90s when I was a little kid I thought TKO stood for Tyson Knock Out
Lol
@adonni 97 hahahah, no it means tehnical knock out.
They should change it to that!! Great 👍🏾
Just like R.K.O🤭
i'm not the only one! 🤯😎
Even though he talked himself up I like that he assisted in helping the people he pummeled back up and the first to extend a hand to his opponent when being declared the victor. Mike is a class act!
I was saying the same thing the other day when a few buddies and myself were talking about all the pay per view money we wasted watching Tyson KO guys in the 1st or 2nd round. He was always there lending a hand to help someone up or hold them until the other guys team could get there to keep him fromm falling flat. Ya he may have ate an ear buy by that time he was so screwed up from money grabbing ex wife and his p.o.s. manager Don King.....if DeMotto was still alive through Tysons career he would have been the greatest in history.
Agreed
UM... TYSON BEFORE THE DRUGS HELPED HIS OPPONENTS UP, NEVER AFTER THE DRUGS, LOL
@@esr4471 he was the greatest
Only Rocky Marciano and Jack Dempsey- together- would have come.😉 close....together
came close
Never watched any of Mike's fights but after this I am amazed at the sure power he truly was " THE GREATEST "
You really missed a special time. He’s a couple years older than me- so he was really someone I looked up to in regards to boxing. He was very quick and he way he used his hips to generate even more power- was second to none.
Tyson’s footwork and angles are masterful! His speed and power are second to his victories
i love how Tyson went to pay his respects after each bout
Yes
Yes
Yeah I see that pal he always had respect
Back when he was under the tutelage of Gus D'Amato and before he started hanging out with thugs again.
Yeahhh, kinda maybe. Haha. Guess you overlooked the other outbursts. Showed more disrespect than respect but I understand what you mean.
I wish Tyson had people around him that cared about him.
He was a rap****he doesn’t deserve people around him

He did. He fired them when he came out of jail. Cus and Jim Jacobs were dead by then but he could have stayed with Kevin Rooney
Mike Tyson's speed and power are amazing, no doubt.
Not only was Tyson devastatingly fast and extremely strong, he was also very technical in his fights. You can see him studying his opponent and adapting for the fastest knockout.
Its skill its the way he hit he didnt throw punches he pushed them and none of them were conventional they were half hook half uppercut and half haymaker half hook!
Its the way he hit them it was directional and caused full brain traumer left right top bottom front and back!
It was all shot placement
No kidding, such confidence in his strikes too, in some of his fights he is so clearly aware of when his punch knocked an opponent out that he just stops after the punch and puts the gloves down. Scary how well he figures out his opponents
Knock somebody butt out!
Great comment
He plays very good too, apparently Tyson has a very high IQ
That slow mo on frazier getting assaulted was... Man. 9:40 You could see his soul leave his body, straight exorcism. The next punch put him in the grave and the last one to read him his last rights. Rest in pieces man.
His voice had to be nerfed, cause his strenght and defence levels were 99.

If you lasted longer than one round with Tyson, I consider you a winner.
A winner of what? Brain damage?
Of the balls contest

Mike Tyson is my all time favorite boxer.
I didn't realise how much of a sportsman Tyson was, helping his battered opponents stand up and after the fight
he stands you up so he can bite your ear off
Then biting their ear lol
That's why boxing is better than mma
miles it’s easy to be gracious when you’re winning.
Then in 90ies his behavior changed drastically. It was sad to see him change so much. But right now he found himself again.
In all his matches, his discipline, his actions show his respect for his opponent. He made sure they were okay, and he went to shake their hands acknowledging their efforts. Its a rare sight to see that kind of behavior these days. He was humble in victory.
The guy was a beast when he knocked his opponents out cold and than also humble when he immediately rushes to check them if they were okay
Humbling himself to check on his opponents after knocking them out was a good example of sportsmanship
That act alone makes Iron Mike my favorite athlete, dude has a good heart. He also has the heart of a champion and puts his all in everything he does. For example, I'm also a great fan of his voice-over work (I'm a voice over artist and actor myself.) He is the Hercules of our time and I hope he stays safe while continuing to promote a warriors spirit for years to come.
‘Sometimes I don’t want to believe in myself but it’s the truth, I’m just the best’ so humble to say
That's because he's a cancer lol
Lolloåp
Never seen these fights as I was too young but this is one of the best documentarys showing Mike's ferocious skills in the ring. It's actually ridiculous how hard and fast he is for his size. I feel so unhealthy when I watch athletes it's depressing.
Yo look at how many punches to the jaw Thomas took and he was still standing. Plus he endured 5 rounds. Respect
He was never knocked down before
We all know Tyson’s punches are lethal but I’m more impressed by how fast he was for his size. Lightning speed.
It's his natural weight ig
That's where the power came from dude
Auto
If anything being 510 made it easier for him to be fast imagine a 69 dude trying to be that fast😂
Ali was faster
Everybody has to lose once in a while. Tyson was, and remains, a true champion of sport, and of heart.
Rocky m. Never lost a pro fight once..... Not even one.

A single look in the eyes will knock you out without even him touching you
Just don't take his memorabilia.
He was so disciplined aswell after a knock out he would go check on his opponent or go stand by his corner humble 🙏🏿
Some of them blows, he was probably worried he done killed somebody
I’m sure Holyfield never got the same treatment but we’ll let that’s one slide
He just knew they'd never been punched like that before by the look on their faces as they went down and felt almost bad for showing them true power.
What would hurt worse? A Tyson uppercut or a bat?

The kid had absolutely no business being in the ring against Tyson. What the hell was Joe thinking when he set that fight up?
No surprise to me this fight with Marvise Frazier was his fattest, clearly Tyson had to do Frazier so fast,with pin point accurate shot's. Remember in Marvices corner none other than all time great SMOKING JOE FRAZIER, who was one of only 4 boxers to make Ali hit the canvass.

When you need slow motion cameras to capture a human motion you know the man is fast.
That happens I all sports
I have seen many of MTs fights but seeing them back to back I noticed how much he seemed to genuinely respect and check on his opponents after he annihilated them. There were the ones he was only looking to "murder", but especially in his earlier career he seemed more likely to help them off of the mat than their own corner... I respect that. Definitely one of boxing's greats.
This man is a legend! Nothing but respect for Mr. Tyson
It’s a waste to buy tickets to watch Mike Tyson. The fights over in 30 seconds 😂
It was bad enough staying up til 4 in the morning to watch his fights on ITV back in the day...

Here is his longest fight : ua-cam.com/video/dQs6erYy9Qg/v-deo.html
@@kanyeslostson : It's funny you say that. That happened to me way back in '90 too. We paid for Tyson vs Tillman (June 16, 1990/ 14:47 in this video). I knew the fight wasn't going to last long but I didn't expect it to end that fast. I felt ripped off. Lol
That's why they put him a real boxer like Holyfield, to end his myth and the loss of money from his tickets.
One thing that made Mike Tyson such a great fighter was his height, he never fought somebody shorter than him. This meant he always had the reach "disadvantage", which he actually turned into his greatest advantage, it meant that he could engage more of his body in his punches as he had too close the distance, once he was in there his shorter arms meant he could pummel them with full punches. While their longer arms meant they couldn't.
Wow, didn’t know that
@@Crusader953 it's one of the things often ignored, especially about shorter fighters. As then it would make the reach advantage stat useless, it's one of the reasons they never mentioned it when Tyson fought, as it would reveal that it's pretty much totally psychological.
That and the fact he was one of the few heavyweights under 6ft... he's around 5'10 1/2"
@@insomniacbritgaming1632 yeah that's what I was implying, and it seems he was 5ft 10inches flat same height as David Tua.
Well, the Klitschko brothers had the height and arm length advantage and were winning with this opposite advantage for a long time.
He acts so cocky and arrogant yet he shows great respect after the fight. that is impressive.
Can it really be considered him being cocky and arrogant if he constantly backs it up? I think that's just confidence
@William Chambers Yeah most likely but I'm big stupid so eh.
It's just to sell the fight most of the time.
It's part of the fight, beat them in their minds before you beat them in the ring. Combat 101.

Notice how many times a year they used to fight back then
Its all about money now days shit not like then where thay for because thay love boxing
Money has changed definitely. Boxers get paid more to build hype for a fight. The camps are still usually only like 1-2 months, but the hype of who is he fighting next builds anticipation and that brings more cash. Mayweather (idk how to spell it) did that the best, so he got paid the best. His style was pretty boring, but the hype and anticipation of seeing him lose brought millions to his pockets.
That dude rarely got hit or fought past 1 round. He was healthy and fresh enough to fight more.
Fighters did fight more often back then, but Tyson was very active even for his era. It's easier to fight more often when you're messing up opponents quickly.
Yea I was listening like”mikes 7th fight of his career sep5 1985. Like dang his debut was the same year
Mike’s a beast when the starting bell rings...then calms himself to a gentleman when the final bell tolls.
His classic right hook into right uppercut…. Just devastating. Iron Mile floored so many opponents with this combination
Notice he has a caring heart, always joins hands to help hold up whoever he knocks down...
Lmao
he said in his autobiography he did that as a form of disrespect
@@detrezo Thats serious.... but his expressions in the first 3 fights doesn't look so
Caring heart? You have to see the evander's ear bitten by iron mike
Will you be calm after rounds and rounds of low blows and headbuts from Holyfield?
respect for anyone who had the previlege of facing him in the ring. i dont even want to fight him even if he's 80..
I would straight up fight him
Even if I knew I would get my ass whooped it would be a great experience!
Can't remember where, or when, I heard this, but even when Ali was clearly ill, nevertheless he still practiced a few punches to a bag. The male physiotherapist, whose job it was to keep the bag still, said once he was glad the the boxing bad was between the two of them, because even though Ali was slowly getting weaker, nevertheless, I seem to recall the guy saying something along the lines of "he still landed punches on that thing like a freight train. Had I not put all my strength into it, I would have been easily on the floor. God only knows what would have happened if he actually hit me, instead of the bag ... chances are, he would have knocked me clean out ..." ...
Once you have developed muscle meto the point its reflexive, without conscious thought, even if Tyson turned 80, unless all that muscle turned into flab, being punched by him may still feel very well like being hit by a box of 45lb sledgehammers, travelling at the speed of a freight train...

How did someone with such talent have it so rough and unpredictable in his personal life? Did he just not want to listen to anyone who wanted to help him personally in the late 80's /90's?
