Win, lose or draw, it takes huge balls to face Tyson.
He got paid huge money, no balls needed, he's a bum
@@Mjones8383 it takes huge balls to get in the ring period
Plus he wasn't even fuckn scared LOL
@@panamacruzer4337 well he was, so he said. But yea..... Brave guy. Fuckin sure I wouldn't fight either of them
@@Kindaserious365 no it doesn’t !!
Nobody ever dared to go at Tyson like this. Unbelievable bravery.
He also headbutted him quite a few times in the clinch. Pretty dirty.
@@twizttiez4910 coz Tyson was grabbing his arm.
@@thedarkyellowpages4016 1:22 this face tho...
@@Marcus.the.baller Ha!!!
Not true... there were several fighters who went at Tyson; check the history.
Could see the effect of years of fighting to boxers like the hurricane by the way they speak. Brutal sport. Only few minutes on the ring, everlasting effect
still probably lived an amazing life. What about you?
@@kylercainfitness life is a collection of moments and memories are useless. At one point in his life he was probably having a great time. Unfortunately, we're at a different point right now and right now is all that matters.
@@justenbenally522 you tryin to sound intelligent on UA-cam so I assume you're either broke or a damn fool. probably both
Um Peter was never that good. The moment he started fighting legit fighters he got knocked out and hit over and over. Guys like George Foreman, Lennox Lewis, the Klitschko brothers still talk the same way they always talked.
No that came from years of drug abuse and an overdose. Go listen to how Tyson talks about him, with respect.
Mad respect to you Peter for having the courage to bring the fight to Tyson & showing respect at the same time. It would be cool to see you on Mike Tyson’s podcast
@justdynee you’re an idiot. Fights with Tyson have pulled much more money than this fight. None of the guys pushed the fight with Tyson like this. Tyson is my favorite boxer of all time, and I can say.. that corner was barely big enough to fit McNeeley and his huge balls.
This guy was irrelevant then and now inside or outside the ring. Im from mass and to say this guy was an embarrassment to our state is an understatement. I don’t know how he got on that card that night, he wasn’t even kind of close of close to being on any sort of level to any heavyweight. Whatta clown..
@@flamingdragon86 and yet here you are nearly 30 years later, tracked him down just to hate. What’s really embarrassing here? Did he pick on you back in the day or something?
@@johnsoso4977 I’m not hating just stating facts. He in absolutely no way was qualified for a Tyson fight or any ppv event on any level. Total waste of everybody’s time and money. But I don’t blame him for taking the fight at all , but whoever picked him as tysons opponent didn’t know what they were doing and is probably working at the snack stand now.
@justdynee that's the thing. McNeeley was given an opportunity that any fighter would have taken in a heartbeat, good fight or bad fight.
Peter McNeeley deserves enormous credit for the way he approached Mike Tyson in the ring as does his corner for throwing in the towel when they saw their man was hurt.
Pressing Mike was honestly the best strategy you could have, the bully never likes being bullied. At the beginning you can see Tyson was slightly shocked at the fact somebody was literally sprinting across the ring at him. The stones it took
But Mike like fighting up close and personal so No! that wasn't the best strategy, Oh! another mistake thinking he's a Bully because, he's not a Bully, he a professional fighter, now if you have a good jab you might last 6 rounds, but after 3 rounds of successful jabs most fighters got to comfortable thinking he's not that tough, stop the jab and let him get in too close, then they got knock out
@@willie417 Tyson has always been the epitome of a bully in boxing. You fight back without fear, you beat him. Douglas, Holyfield, Lewis, Williams and Mcbride can all vouch for that. Tyson never won a fight where he went down to the canvas, in his entire career there is only maybe 1 fight he managed to win while being slightly behind on the scorecards and that was vs Botha. Tyson was a bully who would break if someone did well against him. The facts support this.
@@VCthaGOATdunker those wasn't when Tyson was in his prime and with Douglas watch that fight again
@@willie417 don't give me excuses. Heart is heart, no matter your physical athletic state. Tyson was a bully who couldn't overcome adversity as a fighter.
@@VCthaGOATdunker and yet you took the time out of your life cycle to make comments about a comment, someone made a over a year ago, (I just look to see when I made that comment)
Most people would be to scared to fight Tyson
@Lamont Wilson most people not professional athletes
Too*
But yeah facts
@@peteb9279 most pros were scared to fight mike Tyson
@@TEFVoid 😂😂don’t correct someone who is right and you’re wrong moron
Fr at least he was down to get in the ring in front of all that people. Respect ✊
I always respect a man who can admit when he was beat. McNeely you had the heart of a Lion, but Mike Tyson was just a Beast! you faced hi like a Champ.. Youre a good man
Heart of a lion? He built his whole career fighting journeymen, sadistic fuck
I agree, being gracious and admitting defeat shows great character.... and it's not easy to do. Enormous respect to Peter!
@@chosarang9488 whatever couch potato 🥔
Whoever steps into a boxing ring, regardless of the opponent. Is a warrior. Win, lose or draw. You showed great courage. May God bless you brother.
So true, there is so much fear beforehand… Even Tyson said he was always terrified before a fight
So Bob Sapp is a warrior?
@@warrax111 would you fight Bob Sapp? Probably not, so does that answer your question?
@@ICT_Anton I would not fight Bob Sapp, because I don't fullfill requirment for heavyweight cathegory.
Respect no matter the outcome id never fight tyson
Respect to you hurricane..
You showed no fear and a big heart..
Regardless of the result you gained so many fans around the world that respect and love you.
The only fuckn fighter that ever came directly at tyson to FIGHT . fighting to WIN. Not like the other guys fighting to 'not lose' respect champ!
@T Lay *troll alert that never himself competed in his life nor broke a swear before* 💯😂 foh tlay
He sure did
Yeah but see what happens when you do that?
He did that bcos he was deluded, built a 30-0 record fighting binmen, not a single opponent with a winning record. He was a bully who convinced himself he was actually good.
I don't know if I can agree with you. Holyfield beat Tyson coming after him and not being afraid as did Douglas. They both went at him and won against a prime Tyson. McNeely is right in saying he fought Tyson by attacking and without fear but he's not the only person who fought him going toe-to-toe and on the attack. Few did. He's right on that. It was gutsy but that right uppercut ended many fighter's night early.
I remember watching it on PPV in my living room, packed with friends, and saying "no one has ever backed mike tyson up like this.."
You gotta give McNeely his respect!
Back tyson up...lmao...tyson setting distance...
@@barrygordon1173 you never saw Tyson pinned against the ropes, taking punches, before this
@@LM_357 You never saw it because it's a horrible strategy.
@@spitshinetommy3721 McNeely went with what got him there. He certainly wasn't going to win by sticking and moving.
Backed him up? Lol nah
Thank you so much for making these videos! All the respect in the world! We all think that you are awesome for doing this!
Those were the days!!! I remember this hole ride !!! Thanks for the great memories!!
Huge respect for taking it to Tyson like that. What a humble guy..
What did he actually do ? He charged at Tyson but that's about it..never connected with any hit and was down seconds later.....loser
My favorite part of this fight was in the beginning when you're going back and forth and Mike Tyson is following you with his eyes. That would make a great gif!!
Your favorite part of the fight was that? Casuals smh
@@LawlessLIVEBest and most alluring part of the fight! Always sticks out in my memory. Mike’s edge is what made him a great fighter
Mad respect for this guy. And he had more balls than all of us to face Tyson one on one.
thank you so much for sharing your thoughts about this moment, i was really curious how you felt about it! much respect to you! All the best with everything you do in the future! 🥰
Great video, sure did clear up the phantom punch. Much respect to you Mr. McNeeley, you went out there and brawled!
Oh Peter, it hurts my heart to hear you speak. You're a good man and I wish you had chosen a different career. All the best to you ❤️
To be fair - it's not like Tyson doesn't sound funny when he talks too.
Snuby is Pete's youngest brother. The Youngest of the four siblings. If truth be told, Peter is probably the 3rd most natural boxing talent of the 4 McNeely kids. Tom, the oldest son might have had the greatest natural ability in the US to become a pro competing for the heavyweight title. A true mesomorph like Arnold, with probably a couple of inches on him, but the grace of a lion. Tom never took up the sport, even as a hobby as far as i know. The 2nd oldest sibling and older brother of Pete (Sean) has the most terrifying hands you will ever see on a man. A little taller and much more of a natural athletic frame than Pete, an extremely bright entrepreneur who also could have been a contending boxer. No one in Massachusetts or anywhere else would ever tangle with Sean and live. And as you may know, their father Tom fought Floyd Patterson in 1961 for the title..
Peter has all his wits about him.
@@the503creepout7 Tyson sounds fine and all right
He is not stuttering or anything
@@theinformationbomber7102 No shit....He didnt take any damage
Peter fought hard with a lot of heart. He's a funny guy too, I liked his Pizza Hut commercial.
With due respect I hated that commercial.
Fought hard 🤔
Just a glancing blow and he was out on his feet!!!!
I met you in Marco Island, FL not long after the Tyson fight when I was a valet at 19. You were cool as hell with every one of us employees and we had a blast meeting you. I always enjoyed watching and rooting for you from that day on. Glad to see you’re happy. Here’s to you.
Living legend! Thanks for telling us the story of this fight!
Oh poor peter you thought prison reduced tyson's power.
Yep. Everybody was in awe of Tyson in jail/or he WAS a gang.
Mad respect! Hope youre having a great life Pete!
Awesome insights on this fight.
Thank you!
I saw this Fight and was so proud that Peter even if only for a few seconds went toe to toe with this behemoth of a monster puncher...that's the definition of -- ❤️---. From Brooklyn NY.... SaLute to you sir.......!!!!!

Bed Stuy here
I saw a compilation of all of Tysons knockouts and this dude was the only one to fight the scariest heavyweight of all time with no fear. Total respect.
Wrong Razor ruddock went the distance with Tyson after suffering a broken jaw early in the fight. Imagine fighting Tyson with a fng broken jaw. Ruddock was insanely tough and fearless
@@packman4664 ruddock really hated Tyson. Ruddock was knocked out in his career a few times but had ZERO respect and fear of Tyson. The 2 fights between them were absolute wars.
Razor and McNeely were the only 2 other than Mitch Green that came out and rushed him.
I wouldn't say that. He looked terrified in the stare down. He acted with bravery tho, I'll give him that.
Thank you Peter for everything you gave us fans. I just found out about the channel, gonna try to spread the word. Keep up the videos.
I like Peter McNeeley - he was obviously being offered as cannon fodder for Tyson's comeback and he knew it BUT he came to fight and he tried his best. Plainly there was a gulf in class but you can't doubt McNeeley's heart or determination. This man's for real.
Bro you called him fodder don’t try to act nice💀
@@__Saba_ He's telling it how it went down, not how he feels about him.
Great work Peter I'm with you all the way and a Boston guy for life. Crazy thing is us Boston people are known throughout the country for some being crazy but most of all loyal people to our family and friends!! Be well and have a good one brotha!
You can tell Petter and Mike Tyson have extreme love and respect for the art of boxing not the sport .
I remember watching this fight at a friend’s place, a few-hours before I played a show in Seattle.
You were up against so-much that night & you stood in-there and took shots from the greatest of all time. Period. You’re one of the bravest men who’s ever lived.
Nothing but respect and good wishes for your future.
No offence but maybe the most stupid as well to take exchange against Mike Tyson..That is why fight was over in the 1st round...
@@zaika_a_a Otros pelearon de diferente manera e igual cayeron a los pocos segundos.
Thanks for the video, Peter
Well done Peter. You're clearly a tough and courageous man. Nobody can take that away from you. Outgunned with a slim chance of success but didn't back down. It's the Irish way. Respect from Ireland.
Mate I remember watching that as young guy,, thank you for the memories, I always wondered what you said after the fight, you seemed respectful and loved the moment regardless of the decision
It takes a man to admit he didn't have it to stick in the fight. Peter much respect to you brother.
Win lose or draw, that was badass running straight at and attacking Tyson. Respect!
Peter, you’re one of my favorite boxers. The heart you have is undeniable. You were a wild rooster.
I love this man, respect
RESPECT! Your style made the fight more exciting. I loved how you went right after it.. No time for theatrics lol
What are you talking about his build up for the fight was theatrics, his speech was longer then the fight, a lot of people give him credit, 1. He's a boxer this is what he does and 2. When you want money and to make a name for yourself of course you fight taxi drivers and troll the heavyweight champion of the world.
Style?????
Wow, I've never heard that one before about Ole Pete!!!!
Love you brother man miss ya bud it was great helping you out at the gym . Hope all is well.
Rocky
Good stuff brother, you did well to.stand and fight him . No one can take that away from you
This was the fight that started my love for boxing at 5 years old
Got to give this man his respect putting his life down for a payday I bet he helped his family out with that pay, much love from Manchester UK Peter Mcneely!
thats a very big man speaking in this video. most fighters couldnt make a video like this. tremendous individual here. only good fortune to you peter!
That Tyson stare down at the beginning of the fight where he is following you with his eyes back and forth . Classic bad ass that dude was savage back then . You were in the ring with that briefly. Respect !
i watched this whole thing at 15 years old from beginning to end. since you guys signed for the idea. nobody wanted you to knock tyson out more than me 😆. i wasnt dissapointed of the outcome. its mike tyson lol. and you went at him hard. surprisingly fearless. it was definitely an awesome thing to see you do man. later when you fought butterbean same thing. i was on your side.
You put on a great show my McNeely. It’s solidified in boxing history. Love your heart, and your honesty.
Great fight man
Much respect Peter you got the shot of the biggest fight in world. Just to step through those ropes against Mike Tyson, one of the genuine all time greats is one hell of an achievement. You tried your best FairPlay to you. All the best to you.
You had heart man, most men would of stayed down and gave up. Top 10 favorite match up of all time! I wish the best for you brother!
This fight was in your top ten? U must’ve not seen many fights then..
You obviously have no idea what makes great fights 😵💫
good video man
This man has balls! Mad respect.
I got a lot of respect for this Brother,Big pete💯💯
Nothing but respect. Legend!
we'll all always remember this fight brotha. mad respect
If I was going into battle, I'd be happy to have this man by my side
Theres a difference between being courageous and outright stupid
All respect to Peter, guts to go after Tyson right away! Humble,good guy,respects fellow fighters. Blessings for good health to Peter!
I really love this guy. You're one brave man. So much respect for you.
My Respect to you sir... You fought Tyson like a beast 🔥👏🏻
Beast?????
I guess I would have other words for how he fought Tyson 🫤
Total respect for you, Peter, you are a true gentleman with balls of steel
Nothing but love and respect for you Pete you already know ✍🏾💪🏾
Amazing courage on your part.
That stare from Mike tell you everything. That guy is a Warrior. Calculating how moves before he even start
calculating...huh..more like 'imma kill this white kid'..
Peter is a good man with a good heart who loves his family. I like.
Much respect for your honesty and courage 👏 🙏
You are so funn, all do respect.
Hi Peter, before the Tyson fight, me and my brother met you at the Tropicana pool in Vegas. We said our hometown is rooting for you, they even had banners in your name. I said it’s time, you have to do it, it has to be by knockout. You knew what you had to do. You did your best. That first round you wrapped Tyson in a Cocoon of Horror! Love live Peter McNeeley !
He’s only 52 and he looks finished, boxing really is too brutal to be legal man, I know we love the fight game but it can’t be right
Na he just fight whit mike tyson
NFL players usually end up with more permanent injuries than pro boxers.
Still impressed with your performance to this day, kudos to you brother 🙌
Wow, such a great last statement there. God bless you, Peter!
Seeing this as an adult is wildly different than what I remember as a kid (also from Medfield Mass) I had forgotten this was Tyson’s first match out of prison. Took some serious guts! Have you spoken with Tyson since?
yes I have! I love mike!
@@TheHurricanePeterMcNeeley you're a legend, Got knocked down & got up so fast & still ran around

@TheHurricanePeterMcNeeley hey Peter can you tell me what music is playing in the video please and big respect to you 🙏
A lot of heart this guy
@Behruz I think that’s disrespectful. Considering the amount of fights he has had. I never mentioned his brain I mentioned his heart.
You faced Tyson with a huge courage! You deserve all credits. It was a short but great battle!
you're the man!!
As short as this fight was, it remains one of my all time favorite Mike Tyson related fights :).
A lot of this has to do with you going toe-to-toe with Mike Tyson from the get go, giving boxing fans that "oh shit, he's actually going for it!" moment. Sure, you took a serious gamble there, but it made the fight that much more exciting as a result!
Mark Young, Reggie Gross and Trevor Berbick also attempted to bring the fight to Mike, but not as dramatically as you did :).
That AWESOME staredown between you two before the opening bell is easily the most memorable/enjoyable in boxing history!
I love how you laughed off Mike's intensity, especially since he is all about intimidation and you were having absolutely none of those bullshit mind games before the bell hahaha!
The only one that made me laugh more, but in the making fun of sense, was when Lennox Lewis REFUSED to blink against Shannon Briggs from before the time each fighter was introduced by Michael Buffer, all the way up until the instructions from referee Frank Cappuccino hahaha! It was SO forced in comparison to the truly badass staredown that you were involved in :).
Anyway, thank you for the memories, Peter! All the best to you and your family! Keep it up and NEVER give up!
damn very well written
you are a true boxing enthusiast truly !!
@@theinformationbomber7102 Thank you for thinking so :). While I once failed a science class, at least I truly appreciate the sweet science that is boxing hahaha!
@@DTysonator hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahaahahhaha
yes indeed my man
you know your thing about the squared circle that is the boxing ring
I loved this fight so much cause I boxed out of the same gym as Peter for many yrs south shore boxing. His trainer Vinni was always giving me pointers wich was amazing cause I was just a young teen but Peter was a god in our gym and I’ve seen him fight many times as I helped set up the rings for events he’d fight in he put away a lot of tough guys . Even though he didn’t beat Tyson you knew he was not afraid of anyone when he came running out of his corner to be honest if you watch it I think it took Tyson bye surprise too . No one can ever take that away from you Pete you fought Tyson who is the most devastating knock out puncher that’s ever done it. And you took it to him. Even though I was a young nobody Peter was always nice to me and would actually take time to talk to me if we were in the locker room I was proud that you made it to that level

Hope all is well man!!
💯% respect to you Sir. I didn't see you lose
Were you even watching????
I guess it was so fast you probably did miss it!!!!!!
Respect for you getting into the ring with Tyson and going right at his ass!! The pride you had to pop back up on both knockdown also speaks volumes! Glad you can admit defeat and that your trainer made the right decision. You should be proud!
If he would have gone right at his ass, that would have made it weird…
@@jnnx lol.
🔥🔥🔥
Great speech. A lot of heart to get back up from that.
Peter your wrap youbin my cocoon of horror has to be ine if the best quotes ever you went in there and showed no fear like every other guy did and briught the fight to him not many people can say they fiught a legend congratulations you BEAST
Respect At least you can say you shared the ring with Iron Mike Tyson Greatest boxer from the 80,$ and with Ali greatest of all time . My cousin fought Mike in 1999 Got knocked out in 5 th round
Botha?
Ya who is ur cousin?
You Got the Heart of a Lion Mate!! You were in the Fight all the Way, too Bad your Trainer threw in the Towel, Who Knows you Might have Changed History!! Good to see you Lookin' Well 25yrs Later! --Cheers👊🇦🇺👊🇺🇸👍

Fkn crazy what time does to us. Seems like yesterday I watched that fight back in the mid 90s
I admire you you are very brave I have pressed follow.❤❤❤❤
..respect Mr McNeely on behalf of New Zealand 🇳🇿
Peter will always be one of my favorites. He wasn't scared to mix it up with power punchers. Would loved to see Peter McNeely vs. Tommy Morrison.
Tommy would stiff him w a left hook lol it’s the duke you’re talking about
Le iría peor que con Tyson.
You are an absolute legend, man. Fucking legend.
You sounded like a WWF star, in the fight preview 😆
Legends
You are the Balboas real life, with a brave heart ,great humor and respect. Obrigado pela sua história, guerreiro de valor ao boxe!
He was like rocky when he got up second time looked like rocky three, when rocky said "is that all you got you aint nothing!!!"
This guy gives me so much motivation in life
Brockton Mass original here now residing in California. Much respect to you sir.
Mcneely is a beast. Not many people could have that confidence
I think Pete would play a good Don Corleone and a godfather remake.
Thanks Pete, your a champ.
