"If you are the same man at 50 that you were at 20, you've wasted 30 years of your life."
-- Muhammad Ali
I really like this saying. But also...shit...i might be wasting my time...
Financially, I'm the same man at 50 when I was 20. Spiritually, I'm not the same man at 50 when I was 20
@@theking7634 then look forward to your 70, see the advent of a new man.
❤❤❤
Well some might say that hooking your entire life up to knocking seven bells out of an opponent is a waste of a life. Each to their own I guess. Is it the practice of boxing, or winning that is the point?
Tyson embodies the phrase “people can change.”
People can learn
@derick shear yeah unapologetic youtube trolls who drive young boys to commit suicide through cyber bullying.
Nicely said
@Jason Voorhees Tyson moved on, you should too.
I dont think its changing, i gues he started to let go of being scared. He didnt want to be humiliated ever again, and i gues everthing he did was alot of fear. Fear of losing fear of being humiliated
The old Mike would have beat the reporter up for that intro.
It is obvious that it was edited. It was maybe an answer on another question.
Right ? I was thinking the same thing hahah
Same thing went down about 10 yrs ago here in Ontario. Reporter almost got beat up! The interview is on UA-cam. These guys are idiots. Mikes a good guy who went through some bs. Talk about the good stuff for a change.
@Jimmy from Philly Wiped no. For asking questions that tge "old drugged out mike" found offensive. The reporter never told him any truths, but asked him about the truths..which in return would have pissed off mike back in the day cause it would have sored his ego. Now he has grown and accepted faults..he is sober, it's a difference. Next time , pay attention to the video. We can all learn about ppl or something not everything is supposed to slander someone. Some ppl do change .😒 goodluck tho
That reporter would of never interviewed him that way back in the day unless he wanted to stop living.
The way he teaches his kid to shake a man's hand. Respect Mike
Hell yea

That's how you're supposed to do it.
Lol
Let's hope he teaches them
To not rape people
Gotta respect the evolution of this human being. He came a long way.
No hes muslim
How is religion even of relevance?
😂😂😂 ppl keep commenting BS and then they delete them
@@chaytonhotah1544 what i didn't delete???
Muscab Cali Muscab Cali that wasn’t directed at you, obviously (your comment is still posted).
I meant the idiot @CULTLEADERPEDOPHILEGOAT FALSE PROPHETMOHAMMED
"Success to me is being Responsible and being Present" .... damn never would've thought id be quoting Iron Mike Tyson for inspiration lmao
Watch his podcast this is nothing compare to what he says.
Wow you guys are slow tyson is very very smart
Mike Tyson is far from a dumbass,it’s either you are a kid🍼 or a little piece of💩#on behalf of da real iron Mike fans
@@johnnysaywaut435 😂 no way !!
That’s the problem ... people are naive and think he’s dumb.
His honesty, humility and humblness, he's truly a legend now...
Stolen
Makes me cry thinking about his evolution ..I truly thought Mike would be dead ..I always loved Mike but I thought he would be shot by someone who he would pick on because he seemed like a bully ..man was I wrong ..this man is a legend ..a true man and someone you can leave your kids with
Bruh did u just steal this comment
@Jay Bird yeah but the same exact comment is in this comment section
Hmmm, I find it hard to call someone who is a rapist, violent , drug taking individual - a legend. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a good boxer you wouldn't be calling him that. I have a very different take on what a 'legend' is. My heroes and 'legends' are front line emergency workers who actually make a difference to the world. Someone who is good at boxing, takes drugs, wastes millions and millions, is not a legend.
“Success for me is not cheating on my wife, success for me is being responsible and being present.” 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Isn't that a beautiful quote? And it just rolled off his tongue like that! If only more of us could think the same way!
Gotta respect the evolution of this human being. He came a long way.
THANK YOU JESUS I LOVE IT🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I ALSO LOVED WHEN HE ASKED HIS SON TO SHAKE THE MAN HAND&LOOK HIM IN THE EYE SELF RESPECT, SELF LOVE 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯STR8 FACTS I JUST LOVE IT
Mike gets it!!!
In the beginning, the interviewer doesn't even mention that he was a husband and father. Glad that they cover that later.
He walked on very thin ice
That's not saying much
surprised they didnt mention tyson ranch
Why bring up stuff that happened years ago thought and I still don’t believe Tyson raped anyone I think the girl was out for a payday.
@josephcrsn true, that’s like a small thing in the whole picture I’d rather be known for being rich and successful than a “great dad and perfect husband”
This is why I love Mike. He admit he’s fxcked up, and says he’s a nobody. He’s selfless.
David Tua wants to fight Mike Tyson: ua-cam.com/video/QxDuzERY218/v-deo.html
He's actually extremely selfish. In his older years, he's become more aware and introspective, though. He knows his issues, and tries to overcome them as much as he can. He fights his darkness internally to try to be a better person and make up for as many mistakes from his past as he can.
"Once we're born our process of dying starts right there.."

You can hear the sadness in his voice, Mike is a living legend.
i can hear fear, fear that the world will finally know his secret of being a homosexual. Its ok Mike, its 2020, you can come out.
@@cottonpatch2000 stop projecting
@@CharminIsBallin i notoce the same thing, he is always projecting with his hands, taking his shirt off and being feminine. I agree, He needs to Stop that
@@cottonpatch2000 lol I imagine you must be a loser who is not happy in his life
@@cottonpatch2000 💀😂this comment just made me laugh out loud for 5 minute straight cause it was just so random 🤣
I really respect this man, he turned his life around from absolutely nothing...
💪🏿
But hang on. Turned his life around. He was in a pool of sharks snskes
Look at him.now!💯👏👏👏👏🙏
I love how honest he is about being a family man. He literally said. “He has struggled” that takes a lot for a man to say that ❤️💔
I love how he tells his son to shake the reporters hand and look him in the face. Mike is such a good man.
I appreciate Mike's candor and humility- some definite signs of maturity.
Yessir. Even the heavy weight champ admits life kicked his ass many times
@@whyumadtho355 Yes I so glad he told that man that it's still a struggle and not a cake walk.
"when she loses, she goes back to a multi million dollar house" 😂
Factual
Love you MIKE-TYSON!! ALWAYS #1 IN THE WORLD!! CANT WAIT FOR THE BIG FIGHT TONIGHT PEOPLE!!🤘💪💪💪👊👊👍🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Roof Man ..brother!! We love CANADA FROM \TEXAS/!!💪👊🤘👍🤪🤪❤❤🔥😈😈☠..were all family!! Amazing epic night!!
“Life beats you into submission “ This guy is a Legend.
(Byron Pitts) "There's a season for all things, right?" (Mike Tyson's response - "If you allow the season to exist!") - These are life changing words right here!!!!
Mike Tyson is a inspiration. He needs to give himself more credit he came along way
He's been humbled and this is a beautiful thing! AA teaches us all about life we didn't know once we are humble
I feel like rescueing Mike when his past was brought up. Then I realise he is a better man than I and he can fight his own battle. And sure he did and will always do. Thanks Mike.
They love hanging on to Tyson’s past. The man has changed let’s stop feeling on his past and look into his bright future.
Hell yea let it go
💪🏿
It's inspiring to see the progression tho.
Not to always bring race into it but I think I know why 😅
I cringe when a reporter brings up his past. Im waiting for Mike to lay into them but he surprised me.
Mike tyson fills a void in us all somewhere down deep!
Perfectly said! Sumn bout Tyson can’t describe it
"If she lose, she goes back to multimillionaire mansion
If I lose I go back to juvinile detetion"
Mike Tyson is trying to say here is success was his only option, any other result meant going back to poverty stricken jail life style
His daughter doesn't have this stress
I think reporter did not get the depth of this statement
Totally agree, he had a hunger there was no other option but to win. For his daughter she won't know or fully understand that struggle but I'm sure she will appreciate his wisdom as she matures.
She is a smart girl so she will be grateful as she grows
well said bud.
She better be smart coz she moves like a tank as a tennis player xD waste of time
That's why I gave a 👎
What an incredible human being . The personification of " youre not what youve done , youre what your become" . Nothing but awe for this humble gladiator.
damn...." when she lose, she goes back to a million dollar house. when I lose i go back to juvenile detention"
He loves his kids, clearly.
@Von Fields exactly!
@Von Fields no you dont.
@@SUGAR_XYLER oh really? Why because he isnt what you thought he was? He never was what you thought anyways because he acted the way he knew people expected, goaded him etc to act. Lol oh because hes turned his life around and has a false conviction (btw he is more honest than me, you or anyone you know about his past lol, hes said he deserved prison and that hes done worse but he never raped desiree washington).
@Von Fields look at your response and your question should become apparent.
@Von Fields He was a bad role model for a long time, now he is the second coming of Jesus
No matter what you are Mike, You are still the Legend.
“Shake his hand Roscoe, look at his face.... and his eyes” Hillarious
Mike Tyson is how we should think and live. Such a kind hearted person
But a very dangerous teddy bear. He is very smart and completely unique - iconic
i feel like this interviewer asks semi disrespectful questions and seems to be poking instead of reporting
Typical Lefty
@@keysautorepair6038 you sound stupid leave politics outta it.. your daddy trump lost you still sad???
@@brucematthews7408 Well... so much for leaving politics out of it huh
That’s what the news stations tell them to do
@@brucematthews7408 why bring up Trump when saying "leave politics out of it"?? 🤔 Please take a look at carth266
If you were a kid in the 80s this guy was a hero. Never thought he'd lose, period. The Rocky Marciano streak would be smashed, and he'd retire undefeated
@Jason Voorhees Busta should have been counted out after getting dropped by that uppercut.
@Jason Voorhees Buster for sure should've been counted out, Tyson's first loss should've been to Holyfield
sleazyfellow actually legendary George Foreman was my favorite boxer.
This is the best Mike Tyson interview I ever saw!
The story line of his life that's included throughout the interview really helped me to understand who Mike Tyson is and was :)
God, I love Mike Tyson! The way this man has continued to realize the true path to a meaningful life after all he’s been through is what we love and respect from this champion👊🏼
Mike Tyson fighting... haven't said that in awhile. Let's go!!!!
@@SuperTDSmith Nate is gonna get whooped
Still 🤷 good escape for a night. They also got some performances going on too.. gonna be a good night!
We are all so blessed to have witnessed the growth of this man
HELL YES!! WE LOVE YOU MIKE-TYSON!! LEGEND PURE AMAZING!! TONIGHT!! THE BIG FIGHT!! GO IRON MIKE!!💪💪💪👊👊👍👍🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely.
I concur!
Mike Tyson's self reflection and brutal honesty is not only refreshing but beautiful. Mike grew up to become a beautiful person and we should be proud of him.
When Mike said "listen" the entire set started sweating profusely
This man really changed his life around the baddest man on the planet.
Fr
What a life this guy has had. And now he's back on top again. Much Respect.
A troubled man sincerely trying his best to get by. That's certainly something most of us can identify with.
Keep trying Mike. Win!
Some people never grow up. Nice to see Mike has really made an effort. It shows.
It’s like Mike Tyson is becoming so much like Cus D’Amato
This comment is gonna FLY OVER so many people's heads
Most people do not know who he was
Yup
Yoooooo i never thought of it but he is.... hes even starting to sound like him holyshit
the student bcomes the teacher .....
Mike Tyson has always been an intelligent man. He's made mistakes, learned from them and has moved on to better things.
You just got to love Mike. There's so many positive things people can say about him. He knows his limits and purpose in life. He doesn't bullshit around with people. You got to love the man.
Life has taught Mike so much. And he learned.
Everybody knew about his fight skills but nobody knew about that great mind. but when you think about it you have to have a great mind to be a great fighter. 😏🤔
Factssss no such thing as a dumb fighter much less a dumb champion
I'm so glad more people are getting to see the mike tyson I've been watching for a few years now. He's a great inspiration and his story is the greatest story of a life ever. People need to know how intelligent he is
Mike a living legend. Show him love while he still here 🙏
Mike, came along way 💪🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
He sounds so humble now. Hope he wins
Humble beyond belief. It doesnt get more real than mike.
“Was a king” still is in my eyes
Interviewer: What's going through your body right now?
Mike: My Spine.... 😐
🤣🤣 "broke my back"
You spelled “thpine” wrong
😁
When you grow old you change yourself and puch your dark side to the light and realized damn that was me back then.
You don’t punch it you accept it
as a guy who grew up with an absent dad I almost cried when he said in the end about been present and responsible.
Tyson is a gem he should be spoken to as one. Ppl like him are world treasures not to be treated by reporters like a fool
You have to give respect to this man I like how he puts things in perspective
"Im nobody" he really the #GOAT for saying that
So many people have Said the same thing

"I learned gratitude"
Gratitude seems to be one of those extremely valuable things in life that can't be bought.
Amazing story. This guy has been through it all and unquestionably come out on top.
“Well um life is beating me in submission". MIKE TYSON
Every interview I watch of his, I love and respect him more
Tyson will always be an enigma because at 20 years of age he became the HEAVYWEIGHT champion of the earth!!!
Mike Tyson has earned the respect of millions. He has learned the difference between experience and wisdom. He's a legend.
Every living man respects this man to the highest level of respect. He's a monster!
Why will you say that
@CULTLEADERPEDOPHILEGOAT FALSE PROPHETMOHAMMED 😂😂👽
@ssrevolver I totally agree with you
Some love here in this world ua-cam.com/video/oktWe2iGBcw/v-deo.html
Look at your name for a start 😂
Goes to show you that anyone can overcome their demons and change for good.
Agree ! Nothing is impossible. The words of Jesus not mine.
'I learned gratitude, this is what i learnt, from life kicking my ass"....those words hit me like a brick.
He seems so grounded now, and much more wise and smart.A true legend!
I love his attitude at his age, life beat him into submission, stoicism at its finest.
One of the Greatest stories ever told.
There was a time when we thought this man was beyond redemption and has been reduced to nothing but his rage. And now look at him. Finally having peace in his life. Been a long journey for Mike to find his redemption, but he did get there eventually
I’m constantly disappointed how interviewers like to discuss Mike’s checkered past and not embrace the man that he is now and his accomplishments in the sport which should be the true focus of the interview. He respected you please respect the man he is now.
The best second act in life ever!
I love mike tyson the way is talks,sapare and box everything..
The legend has come a long way. He's humble and everyone respects him.
A lot of people judge on record, but they don’t judge on themselves!!! Mike Tyson truly the best.
Wisdom comes with age. I look back at the things I did in my 20s and there are some Im ashamed of
Gracias 🙏 Mike Tyson for the great fights & entertainment and memories during your career, you’re a legend and a great champion “win or lose “ be safe and blessings from the Sonoran Desert 🌵 Hermosillo,México 🇲🇽 ❤️ M.Tyson
Still clinging to his past, he’s clearly a better and even stronger man because of it. I love his legacy, I appreciate his growth, this is what humanity can be.
All his mistakes from the past makes him a legend today
Mike Tyson is simply amazing person, he was able to entertain millions of people around the world, even he had personal life issues! Cus and Rooney those characters made mike an icon
Everyone wants to believe in redemption, his struggle is relevant because it's relatable.
@@SuperTDSmith Beat your face you fuckin leg! RLTW
Now go clean up my mess POG
Now this is called walking softly and carrying a big punch!!!...you have to respect strength....AND humility!...love you Mike!
When he was younger he wasn't a great man,he could just kick anyone's arse, but now life has just humbled him and taught him character and what it truly means to be good.... now he is a great man.
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
Lmaooo me too!
When a monster reach within and tames the beast. Long live Iron Mike!
love from Oman ,brother mike ..
Wen he said “I’m fucd up!” I died. Me too Mike! 🤣🤣🤣 me too
He is still king 👑 in the kingdom of hearts 💕
Such a great story of how you can never count out how a person can change.
I respect the man so much. Humbled and pure, and in touch with reality.
ABC bringing up old negative stuff...God dropped those charges long ago, ABC when are you?
It is a part of his journey and he embraces discussing it. Can't escape the past, but can change today for a better tomorrow.
@@joshua.snyder exactly
Why remember his dark days!!!! Let the man be, look at wat he has accomplished..
Did they ever find out why that victimized super model came to this 100 million dollar mans hotel room at 3am ? 👀
Mike is a remarkable human being.All his acheivements and expetiences has made him such a humble and wise individual.
Tyson and Ali both are one of a kind
I TRULY have disdain for this interviewer, he was insensitive & he tried to agitate the champ. Smh. Sad. Let this man live. Damn!
Yeah, he definitely wanted to make Mike Tyson angry. Of course :|
I guess the journalist has a good intention shooting provoked questions.
It shows Tyson is completely now a different man and makes the journalist trying to provoke looks bad in some angle.
What a great man Tyson is now. So honest and humble.
Why is ABC News promoting a register sex offender ie; Mike Tyson
6:45 when the crazy mobster starts laughing and you gotta laugh with him so he doesn't kill you xD
Redemption personified.
