I don't think there will ever be another boxer that comes close to Mike in his prime unless human beings start practicing prenatal genetic augmentation . Nevermind a generation...he was a once-in-a-SPECIES freak of nature.
Great interview. It shows the side of Tyson as a human being, not just some title winning champ without a heart. Long Life to Iron Mike and the rest of team Rooney.
Mike Tyson knew the meaning of the word entertainment. He was a wild showman, formidable and naturally super skilled boxer. He follows this up by coming out as a self aware individual with heart and inate wisdom. Honestly, who could ask for more from a sportsman? ✌🏽
How ironic is this. His own people (blacks) betrayed him and the white man was actually overpaying him. So sad. Your most beloved ones are the the biggest danger.
Respect to the best boxer ever seen in planet earth.Ali was more clever but not more gifted and talented than Tyson was.No one has been and will never be better than him.
really the reason he didn't fight the top guys like you say he didnt is because people were ducking him, there was not a line waiting to fight a strong striker like Tyson, he is one of the greatest of all time and one of the youngest to win the title the way he did straight up knock outs
Tyson wasnt just a trained boxer he was a trained killer he was trained to show no mercy he even said when he got in the ring he wanted to kill anybody who faced him he also said these guys who think their tough their not tough when i bring that pain to them
If Cus had lived and Kevin Rooney, Bill Clayton and Jim Jacobs been behind him and Tyson hadn't been so naive and gullible in allowing that murdering Bastard Don King to brain wash him I honestly believe Tyson would have beat Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record and retired undefeated 🥊🥊🥊
mike is amazing. no heavyweight ever had that combination of speed, defense, and power all in one package. if D' Amato had lived longer he would have ruled much longer and his life may have stayed on track. Still inspires me to this day.
I agree with you completely. Growing up a juvenile delinquent and being given a second chance is one thing, but it's really sad having to surround yourself with parasites that treat people like puppets.
Im a pro sean johnson thats one thing you dont want to do beacause if you focus on someone elses style you wont succeed. By all means have the same attitude and intent but find your own style
lucky for tyson he didnt come up in the time of ali, larry holmes, george foreman, frazier, norton.ali woulda beat him.y? ali was faster ali was a boxer and ali was a a smart ring technician
Nah Mike was great but he would not have beaten Ali, remember People like Forman, Frazier and Sunny Liston were the Mike Tyson's of that era, I mean they hit hard like crazy, listen never went past 2 rounds with anyone, Forman was a giant and undefeated until fighting Ali, etc... Ali was a smarter fighter, quick, very quick and knew how to take advantage against fighters bigger and even stronger than he was.
Falsely accused? He's been accused of sexual assault multiple times (Phyllis Polaner, a beautician from Chicago, a 50 yr old woman, Teddy Atlas' 12 yr old sister in law), he got violent with 2 women that turned him down, the physical evidence backs Desiree Washingtons being raped, that a witness said she was scared & in shock that night and Tyson himself told Jose Torres he likes seeing women bleed and cry.
Mike being such a popular personality it was inevitable he was going to be milked by the media with their negative comments because that's how news sells.I think he kept very quite and if we had been put in his shoes we would have reacted even worse. E.g how do stay calm when being falsely accused of rape and being robbed of your money....injustice after injustce and to how he was treated. Not making excuses for him but he was 20 and on top of the world and white america didn't accept that
Men piss better, more prestigious, more successful lives for themselves away on women everyday; instead of taking care of business first, then the woman. The advice Tony Montana (played by Al Pacino) in "Scarface" at the beach, was actually good advice. Anyway, however his career turned out, he will always be the favorite fighter of all time to a lot of people all over the world. For us all, it was nothing less than a blessing, an honor, and a privilege to watch Mike Tyson perform his art.
if u cant make up out of my post what i mean then its better we stop having this convo, i had a look on ur page i think our opinions are similar in quite a good few ways to be honest.. but ur too caught up trying to prove ur non existent manliness online. Im defo not against violence i was just proving a point to a fella who said boxing is more natural than smoking weed, not really because boxing is setup and has nothing to do with why we fight in nature.. thats all.
There is a reason why he was doing that the pain he had all the deaths as a child he was mad he got destroyed when his trainer died he was a father figure to him
Tysons beat plenty of people & they're all alive but he admits to beating her. Abusive types are often good at controlling how they beath people so it doesn't show in public or cause too much damage but still hurts. She's not the only woman or ex of his who says he was violent. What are you Tysons lawyer?
Well that's all there was back then.What did you wan't tyson to do???He beat the best in his area end of story!!!He was the best fighter in his prime.NOBODY today would stand a chance.Because of one fact!!You could not hit the old mike tyson.After he got out of jail ,he was a slow flat footed fighter.That was his end!!!His prime was over then.
at 03:09 mins....Tyson looks like a lion, when he is describing his predator methods of mugging....bet the guy interviewing him is probably thinking this guy is dangerous.....Fact of the matter is everyone knows who Tyson is and almost everyone has an opinion on him, good or bad....HE IS THE BEST EVER!!!
Im training to fight and I wanna adopt the exact same style of Tyson. The same techniques to intimidate and mentally have my oppenent beat before the bell the rings and believing it and ur opennent can see that fire in ur eyes burnin and he knows he has no chance. I love to fight. Nothing excites me more than to fight and to do it like the guy had just killed my mother.
all that mike tyson only fought bums that some sports reporters (and you) have been saying is not true, he fought alot of quality fighters - frank bruno 2 - razor ruddock - berbick - spinks - holmes - biggs and many more and was dominating those guys, to say those guys where bums is crazy, and those who say it dont know shit about boxing !
get your facts straight boy. Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali because of his change of faith and because of the influence that Malcolm X had on him. He changed his name 3 years before he publicly spoke about why he was not going to fight in the Vietnam War. Dodging the draft was not a factor in his name change.
It's really hard to keep track of everything that is happening with your career, especially at 21. A lot a people get fucked over. So when they have kids and they decide to be boxers, their boxer dad's protect them from all the corruption. But everybody wants to fuck you over.
get your facts straight. Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali because of his change of faith and because of the influence that Malcolm X had on him. He changed his name 3 years before he publicly spoke about why he was not going to fight in the Vietnam War.
Tyson's soul of a fighter died the day Cus did (the only real father he ever knew, trusted and loved) ... it's sad because if he didn't this man would have become the greatest fighter of all time!
Disagree . Tyson's fighting style did not lend well to longevity or a long boxing career . His was a short blaze . Yes , he went in to self destruct mode but if you listen to many boxing experts Tyson wouldn't have had a long boxing career .
no tyson just didnt want to fight n e more his last cupple fights were just for money he even said so him self if his trainer never died he would have still had the drive to keep goin and to b the best ever
If they're fired by her they're biased & plenty of documentaries are biased but Tyson as he admits wasn't smart with money so she might have been doing that for both their sakes not cause she married him for his money.
Those are biased in Tysons favor. How do you think he'd come across if someone made a documentary about her where her people were interviewed. Find an unbiased source that states that for a fact & you'll have point.
Robbin from day one,went after his money,know fact!!! Typical Girl,I love you honey,but where's your money.Tyson was a very mislead man.Robbin was the worst drama queen in any mans life!!!Anyone has a blowing point.
Tyson fell prey to not only himself but those around him who latched onto his naivety. I think Tyson was often misunderstood and severely criticized by people who nothing about him or his internal situation.
Tyson admits to cheating on Robin, she says he beat her and he told Jose Torres the best punch he ever threw against anyone was her yet people make her out to be the villain and him the victim.
And hoyfield deserved to be bitten on the ear....he has never been the class of boxer as Tyson, holyfield was more of a wrestler in tyson vs holyfiled pt 1. Watch the fight and the headbutts
Mike Tyson is thought to be like this impeccable fighter and he's really not if u look at his record almost all his wins are bums the only two that stand out are Michael spinks and a aging Larry Holmes
Tyson admitted he hit her in the biography Jose Torres wrote about him. Google Robin Took Best Punch Says Tyson. If it was only her word he hit her I wouldn't state it as a fact.
Ok! just proving it's a fact??Like he hit her wasn't a fact either,but you bring that up.Because she would be knock out cold.Nor, never a pic of her bruised was ever found?Because it BS!!!
Theres sources that dispute that but even if she did get some money off him she did it after he battered her and cheated on her so its bullshit to make him out to be the victim.
Going to prison fucked Mike's career up. After he got out you could notice the difference in his movemet speed. He was slow, his herculean power seemed to have diminished and he was slow.
Ok! who fucking cares. Im sure she did nothing right???So that makes like 73 KO's in his career then????Sweet!!!Maybe you should call mike and be his 74th L.O.L.!!!!
He cheats and beats her and you paint her as the villain based on rumours she got lots of money in the divorce. Thats the kind of lame fan worship you can expect.
@immuntocrap2 ok but being overrated with a spectacular style makes sense...like Lebron being overrated with a spectacluar style....or Kobe or Floyd even...
TYSON is my 2nd Favorite Boxer Behind Ali and fuck holyfield head butting him like a bunch of times in both fights happy the Tyson 2008 documentary covers that
That's a sweeping generalisation if ever I heard one. Tyson didn't go to D'Amato, Cus went to him. If you're going to make a point put it in the right context .
Watch his documentary where he admits cheating on her and read the Jose Torres book about him or google "Robin Took Best Punch, Tyson Says in Biography".
Teddy Atlas + Kevin Rooney + Cus 'd' Amato + Mike Tyson = Unstoppable force in the world of boxing!
nah ali didn't have the power tyson had
I don't think there will ever be another boxer that comes close to Mike in his prime unless human beings start practicing prenatal genetic augmentation . Nevermind a generation...he was a once-in-a-SPECIES freak of nature.
Great interview. It shows the side of Tyson as a human being, not just some title winning champ without a heart. Long Life to Iron Mike and the rest of team Rooney.
11:37
OMFG
YO FUCK DAT
Imagine seeing that before fighting someone LMAO
Mike Tyson knew the meaning of the word entertainment. He was a wild showman, formidable and naturally super skilled boxer. He follows this up by coming out as a self aware individual with heart and inate wisdom. Honestly, who could ask for more from a sportsman? ✌🏽
Well said
How ironic is this. His own people (blacks) betrayed him and the white man was actually overpaying him.
So sad. Your most beloved ones are the the biggest danger.
Dirty fucking business. Mike didn't stand a chance.
And he also didn't wanted. That's more for the evil, weak-hearted...
He was too young and the people that had his best interest in mind died. Pretty sad
thats why I stopped boxing
jesus look at the size of him! as a teen he was like a fully grown weightlifter build wise lol
donalds a gangster
If only he had a good woman...
Respect to the best boxer ever seen in planet earth.Ali was more clever but not more gifted and talented than Tyson was.No one has been and will never be better than him.
As boxers go he was VERY special indeed.
Forget his demise , remember on just how AWESOME he was.
85-88 the world watched in awe.
really the reason he didn't fight the top guys like you say he didnt is because people were ducking him, there was not a line waiting to fight a strong striker like Tyson, he is one of the greatest of all time and one of the youngest to win the title the way he did straight up knock outs
Tyson wasnt just a trained boxer he was a trained killer he was trained to show no mercy he even said when he got in the ring he wanted to kill anybody who faced him he also said these guys who think their tough their not tough when i bring that pain to them
Holyfields use of the head in both fights was terrible,not defending what Tyson did,but it doesn't seem to get mentioned.
They never mention holyfield headbutting tyson like 1000 times, in both fights
Robin Givens was garbage. Jose Torres had bad judgement.
Tyson never fought bums! he made his opponents look like bums.
mike is a man cuz he said that ali would beat him in a fight that's show mike praises the legend
Mike ,tyranus rex koning van de boxsport.
tyson came up when the great heavywights were retired and old. sure he beat holmes but holmes was in his forties.
Holmes was 38 mike was a different animal
8:18 8:50
mike tyson is a great man and great boxer
I don't give a shit iron mike is a BEAST!!
uno dei piu grandi, un misto di velocita tecnica e grande potenza...... grande mike
iron mike thug life.
Tyson is the best killa boxer ever!!!
If Cus had lived and Kevin Rooney, Bill Clayton and Jim Jacobs been behind him and Tyson hadn't been so naive and gullible in allowing that murdering Bastard Don King to brain wash him I honestly believe Tyson would have beat Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record and retired undefeated 🥊🥊🥊
I agree
love u so much my blood brother
What about me?? Do you love me?
Donald trump actually looks good with a mullet ....
mike is amazing. no heavyweight ever had that combination of speed, defense, and power all in one package. if D' Amato had lived longer he would have ruled much longer and his life may have stayed on track. Still inspires me to this day.
I agree with you completely. Growing up a juvenile delinquent and being given a second chance is one thing, but it's really sad having to surround yourself with parasites that treat people like puppets.
Jake Lamotta told Tyson to avoid all the garbage, because thats all we attract.
Im a pro sean johnson thats one thing you dont want to do beacause if you focus on someone elses style you wont succeed. By all means have the same attitude and intent but find your own style
lucky for tyson he didnt come up in the time of ali, larry holmes, george foreman, frazier, norton.ali woulda beat him.y? ali was faster ali was a boxer and ali was a a smart ring technician
Nah Mike was great but he would not have beaten Ali, remember People like Forman, Frazier and Sunny Liston were the Mike Tyson's of that era, I mean they hit hard like crazy, listen never went past 2 rounds with anyone, Forman was a giant and undefeated until fighting Ali, etc...

Tyson didn't go to D'Amato, Cus went to him.
If you're going to make a point put it in the right context .
bro your right but as a convert towards islam he was given a new lif may allah bless him and forgive him ameen.
If Cus didnt die tyson would have been a champion for many more years he wouldnt have fallen under Don king and probably wouldnt have gone to jail.
Watch his documentary where he admits cheating on her and read the Jose Torres book about him or google "Robin Took Best Punch, Tyson Says in Biography".
i dont smoke weed or do any drugs either, i just dont believe that people should get locked up for putting whatever they want in their own bodies.
i know why he changed his name and where the hell did i say anything bout why he did in my comment. learn to read and comprehend what u read bud
@bowman1234567891011 yeah, he changed his name because, he doesnt want to be called cassius clay anymore, but some prople will never learn it...
What year was that interview done at the 2:36 mark?? do you know if its avaiable on youtube.. If you know please respond Thanks!
Robin and Don destroyed Mike. It would've been better fall Mike if both Robin and Don had ran over a cliff in a car and vanished...
I saw Mike Tyson get knocked the fuck out back in '88 by a skinny, short white boy who had to jump in order to punch him in the face.
Goldiggers, snakes and manipulators all around him. You gotta have a strong mind to be able to see through all that deception.
He headbutted him like 3 times actually, and he was getting points taken off for it. THEN Tyson had the urge to bite his ear.
11:35, wow LOL @ the speed difference. It's like tyson is fighting at flyweight and the other dudes like a middle weight
tyson the legend
if he didnt take drugs and party every single night he could have been 100 times better than he already was!!!
Second they where married she wanted control of all his money,It's a freaking fact!!She is no accountant!
He'd make the letter 's' disappear by biting it off and after surgery it would look like the letter 'z' :D
yo my bad dude i meant to respond to "bowman123456...." he was making some false claims about Muhammad Ali
dude was knocking fools out cold in the jr olympiads. did anyone even land a punch in london this year??
omg this video also has don king and donald trump in it,the list of scumbags that hurt mike continues
only cus would have known how to deal with Don King and Givens, b/c he had done it before with Patterson
Well you dunno...maybe he would have been depressed... And without the drugs, maybe not as strong ^^
i know this is probably a stupid question, but who was better out of muhammad ai and mike tyson?
spend some time learning boxing and boxer history. Cassius Clay was the birth name of Muhammad Ali
and they will never will they wantent mike 2 lose is stupid mike GOAT
damn 100 million contract? i now understand why those fight even if they knew they will lose!!
what yr was this documentary made .. must be old cuz larry murchant still is a coherant person
What so your saying even though the fight never happened you know everything about boxing...
The best punch the heavy weight champion of the world threw a tap on the should?? Right.
mike tyson.....you are my idol........when i go to the America.....i'll visit you....LOGAN
Marijuana isn't a narcotic.. look it up.
The laws in the US consider it a narcotic.
Overrated? but very spectacular style? You cancelled out your own comment....
