This interviewer is pretty great. He doesn't talk over Mike, doesn't try to lead him into saying something. He just gives him a thoughtful question and lets it go. It's a shame there aren't more interviewers like this guy.
That's what I thought. Let's the man be himself, and allows Mike's intelligence to be on full show alone with what was once a broken soul.
Yes, he's pretty good.
Jakob 100% agree, good comment. It’s so rare now days to see a respectful and honest interviewer who doesn’t bait or alter the interview through manipulation.
Nothing down to earth or special about the interview... dull.
Jakob great point.
I wish he could have seen my kids... That hit hard
mussadaq tahir
That's something someone would say about their father.
@@fwlweb5803 That's exactly what i told my mother on the way from the hospital when my father passed..."I'm glad that he got to see my boys."
Mike....wow what a beautiful being. You really are the champ, of humanity. Love you amigo
Man you said it. My mom and dad both died and holy shit that comment wrecked me.
3:26
Makes you think how crucial is having a real father.
Кристиан Тошев This
Why do think all these kids end up in life of crime! It’s not the governments fault it’s because the fathers fuck off!
@@Truevisionsolutions yes don't let anyone tell us differently. Father's have everything to do with that. The world needs good father's
Ken MacDonald that is such a cop out, black people aren’t the only ones to use welfare! All those things your saying you act like people don’t have choices, so what your saying is that black people are so stupid they can’t make there own decisions. People need to take personal responsibility for there actions!
4sen Bajs
He said it 5 or 6 six times: “Cus gave me tools”. When a man says it like that, only another man can truly understand. The only thing left to to add is “thank you Cus, for giving us Iron Mike”.
I concur. Thank you CUS.
Soweto MGTOW ZA wonderful comment, thank you.
A Father gives a Son tools, Cus loved Mike as a Son.
Cus was old school....servant leader.....People like Cus...come along a few times in a lifetime.
I could listen to Mike talk about Cus all day.
+Byron Anene you should read his book he used to break Mike down and build him up constantly but he was a character there's a part with him having a rifle in the living room was pure funny
+illuzeweb Hey bro what the name of his book?
+illuzeweb can you name the book
agreed.
+Byron Anene yeah it really hit me when he said meteoric rise, from beating people up , robbing houses next thing he knows he is heavy weight champ of the world, you gotta understand how the fak could he prepare for that, from that point on alot of hanger ons came out pretending to be his friend. Sad in a way but like he said in a previous interview he had a good time. Now he is older and looks back and wonders who was that guy, wtf happened! I am sure amazing memories, Always will love Tyson man, how well would anyone else do in the same situation and from a similar background?
Mike doesn't even realise what a great human being he is.
He doesnt believe it.😑
He seems to not be able to forgive himself for his mistakes sometimes, but he has come so far in life and accomplished so much he should always be proud
@@DOOM1715 he will be remembered as the peoples champ.
I think he does. It's everybody else who doesnt. Nobody took time to really understand the guy. He was made to be a villian and a bully.
Not knowing how great you are is the mark of true greatness...
6:24 - "Confidence breeds success & success breeds confidence. Confidence applied properly surpasses genius." Mike Tyson, ladies and gents
Amen!
Amen 🙏
In his prime, under Cus, no boxer in history beats Mike Tyson.
What's amazing he was so young. He potentially would've been the Goat no question. We never got to see a 25+, prime Tyson. He would've only gotten better, im sure he fought off the experience of Cus alone. After Cus died I'm sure he stopped learning at the rate he did.
@@AJS2095 Well said Anton.
@J. FILL no he wouldn't have . The one guy Ali struggled with was Frazier. His style was just like Tyson, except Tyson could throw both hands not just that big left hook.
@J. FILL Mike Tyson would have hurt Ali...
J. FILL Ali couldn’t keep a Canadian fighter with no head movement off of him (nothing against Canadians but we aren’t known for fighting unless it’s on skates). In that fight Ali was hospitalized from the persistent body attack from George chuvalo. Keep in mind this is 1966-67 Ali which is the best we’ve ever seen him. Also watch Ali and cus D’amato discuss his, by then, upcoming fight against Frazier and how he flat out showed the world how joe would defeat Ali. Cus also predicted that Duran would beat Leonard if he controlled his rage and look what happened. So I’m sure that a mike Tyson with cus still in his corner could train mike to defeat Ali
I respect Mike because he is 💯% genuine when he speaks it's almost like how a little kid will tell you the truth no matter what ... not to hurt any ones feeling but it's just straight from the heart
i agree so much and his story should be an inspiration to all,, where you can go from the bottom to the top in a blink of an eye
Mike Tyson is genuine & his intelligence is under rated in boxing I often think.
I you listen to him he knew built in instinct of intemidation and what effect it had on composure during competition.
Great man, he's 💯% genuine.
THE REAL JUNE DAWG couldn't have said it better myself!
THE REAL JUNE DAWG fucking love Mike Tyson , great comment bro .
THE REAL JUNE DAWG very true
I think when Cus died a piece of Mike died as well.
He lost someone he actually really trusted to be honest with him even when he fucked up in life cus never took advantage of him
I heard him say he lost his heart in boxing when Cus died.
jason quinn no doubt about that
He lost the reason to win, the reason was to make Cus proud and happy.
I agreed with the view that a piece of Mike died with Cus. Their was a time when I thought Mike was overrated and a time when I thought he was great. But I never felt he was in control of his life. I think it's a shame as is with most successful he was a target for abuse from women from business from "friends" and from himself as well. I think he has a lot to contribute to the world. In boxing in relationships with training and even on the sweet science of it. The problem I see is that when people are interviewing Tyson they don't begin with the knowledge of how actually smart he is. They are talking to him from a disadvantage and end up having to play catch up, and it frustrates Mike because no one has ever broken down to him that it's NOT his communication skills that are lacking. The interviewer has a job to be able to communicate and see To it that his guest is understood. Mike takes it personally and because of his trade, boxing he is used to comparing himself to others so when he sees "stars" on TV and how they are coming across he thinks his performance is not that good. But let me say from my own opinion that he is courageous in that he still puts himself out, as a punching bag. Hang in there Mike. You made it from the garbage can to the top. You tried and won. Keep however fighting the good fight. Pass on what encouragement Cus showed you how to access, and keep on sharing. You never know who you might lift up!
I like how he doesn't talk down on Mike like other interviewers do
Cisna Ng'ang'a This
Defently mike actually seems pretty comfortable around him too.
@@parrogakaparadise9477 that
@@beetlesstrengthandpower1890 I think you'll get with this, for this is kinda phat
Listen to the sentence. " I wanted to make them pay, but I'm the one who paid." God I love Iron Mike. He's always been smarter than people made him out to be.
I always found Tyson to be very intelligent. Underneath his brute strength and ferocity, he was a smart fighter and taught well by Cus. Just because the guy talks with a lisp, everyone assumes he's stupid. Doesn't say much about their own intelligence.
What does he mean by that?
I love his growth....
Absolutely more intelligent that people perceive him,I know met him at the BHOF in Canastota NY 3 times with a great conversation about who he is& who he said 2 me about what I felt about him & told him God blessed u & Gus✌❤🌎
@olafmarszal3671 its about resentment. When you have resentment and want to make some one pay you do all you can to make them hert. You end up hurting yourself in the end. Drinking your own poison so to speak.
Complex man, complicated life, honest with himself... Mike is so fascinating, and he admits his flaws. How could you not root for him?
He's done some pretty terrible things to other people in his life. That is one reason you could not root for him.
like what the fake rape case ? let me guess your a liberal
a such as what? He’s done as much, or more, to help others.
You didn’t hear about that though
a - Those people he did terrible things too knew the risk of stepping in the ring with Iron Mike and got paid to do so. Evander Holyfield is the only ex exception - that was pretty barbaric!
@@RickDanner You hate Liberals that object to rape ? That's not the definition of a Liberal .That's just about everyone .
Tyson interviews are never boring.
JON DOE because he’s so honest I think. He respects people enough to tell the truth. And you certainly know when he doesn’t respect you!
Can't agree more
Absolutely! This has close to a million views & only 231 dislikes. That's some Fuckn ratio! I can't understand the dislikes in the 1st place but it's still very telling. Love you mike
Would tyson have been the most devastating champion he became without cus?.. Not saying he wouldn't.. But when someone has love and kindness given to them.. Its more powerful than anything in my opinion.. Tyson is my favourite boxer /fighter of all time x
I learn something every time
Oprah should take notes on how to conduct a respectful, professional interview.
patriots is raw oprah a billionaire goh
Oprah is one of the most insightful interviewers ever. Ever.
IKR IMO she was very condescending in some of her interviews with Mike.
She's a bitch! I hate her. She used MJ before & even after his death to gain popularity. She's a fake ass bitch.
patriots is raw fuck that fat bitch!!!
“There’s nothing like Confidence if applied properly” this is Facts!!!!!!!!!
On the other side of confidence not being applied properly, there's Andy Ruiz Jr. being too confident leading up to his rematch with Joshua.
MikeBrownLegend#30 I think he was faking.... he admitted he shoulda been a little lighter and he shoulda trained a little harder..... more like false confidence because he didn’t put in the ground work
It feels like mike's realising everything he is saying and is getting blown away
Exactly! You never see that with people. Mike's actually having realizations as he's going along. That means he's being present and being honest. It's beautiful.
This became very apparent to me when he repeated "Cus gave me tools, he gave me tools... he gave me tools.." You could tell he realised that right at that moment.
Mohit Kohli it's because he doesn't talk about this kinda stuff very often. My dad does this too when I ask him about his life experiences
I think he has major regrets. Who could blame him? I think most of us that are 40+ years old do. And we weren't once heavyweight champions. I hope he finds peace
Just like a grown up adolescent realising the stupid and embarassing shit he did in childhood this is a fullfilled adult with wisdom realising the young him who did crazy things without the knowledge he has now
Mike Tyson gives some of the most interesting interviews EVER. Not just in sports, but in all of life.
Your comment was a long time ago i agree bro go watch joe rogan and mike tyson podcast
James Kostohryz he's as he's own podcast and it's a great listen
I'm your 300th like.
I believe it is because he is raw and pure..animalistic ...primal...he's basically like a pitbull..most loving dogs but if you threaten them they will take you down....he is a fascinating human being.
Totally agree.
When he said, "I wish he would have saw me, I wish he would have seen my children"... awhh man, that hit.. I'm not crying, you're crying.
I met my teacher I was homeless for 2 years. I told him I was homeless he said "I will not give you a place to stay but if you listen you will never be homeless again. That man rebirthed me and taught me everything. I understand this video.
What did he teach you?
What did he teach you?
Yo this is so so deep bro thanks for sharing it really heartfelt
World history in its true sense,economics,stock market,EGO man i needed that,and the inner God/ all religions down to the one they say upright on the square which is not a religion.
Is it the whole give a man fish or teach him to fish?? I leanred the power of that as an adult.
After Cus died the snakes and rats came out and no one was there to protect him and they destroyed him
So true , he was young and vulnerable as hell ... fuckin heartless scavengers
He had Kevin and Jacobs for a while however after Jacobs died don king swooped in and at that time gave mike Tyson money he never actually held himself and that was the fall of a champion especially after that snake Robbie Givens and her mother ruined his brain with all the ill and mental problems they told mike he had ( was probably on drugs they given him so he would admit himself on national television that he was mentally unstable) Mike I'm so sorry about so many ppl were there to take advantage of you however if you would have trusted everything Cuss was telling you most likely you would have retired as the best not just heavyweight but the best ever boxer if not Never defeated champion . Cuss himself told you that he would leave you with Kevin and Jacobs and his partner to be ur managers and he assured you that you would be left in good hands with those ppl that they would take care of you better then he ever could but for some reason ( givens and don king ) they just made you belive those ppl were taking advantage of you and stealing your money even tho they were the once going for all your money not Kevin. She and her mother took 200 million from you after divorce most of the cars and houses . Don king as ur promoter has made you richest boxer of all time at that time and you made between 500 mill to 1 billion back then that's a crazy amount of money fight now , can you imagine how much that was back then when everything was 80% cheaper then it is today ( In today's standard probably around 10 billion ) ALL YOU MIKE HAD TO DO WAS REMEMBER EVERYTHING CUSS EMBEDDED IN YOUR HEAD AND WHO HE WAS LEAVING YOU WITH AND YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE WITH SO MUCH MONEY !!! Instead like I said she and her mom took 200 mill you sued don king for 100 mil even tho you made him billions and at the end you were left with nothing but ppl coming for ur money , bankruptcy and all the looses and the pain you had to endure just cuz you trusted the wrong ppl at a peak of ur career those 3 years u lost while locked up who knows how good you really would have end up being cuz those 3 years were at peak of ur powers it' just sadness me watching and listening everything you went tru just cuz you had no one there to guide you tru life even know you seem and you talk like young kid inside mans body however it hurts me to say this but it was most of it was ur own doing and firing all the ppl cuss told you he was leaving u with and that no matter what those ppl could be trusted at the end 3 ppl came out as winners out of ur life Robbin givens and of course don king god knows how much money he made betting on Douglas to beat you in japan that's why he took u over there , so you wouldn't trane and not in shape with all those women going crazy for u over there while Douglas was training like never before it was all kings plan to ruin ur career while he makes himself rich as fu*k !!!
Sorry guys for all the wrong spelled words , it's 4 am here and I'm barely awake i just had to write something . I'm sorry again and I'm sure you guys will figure out what I was saying ! Be good everyone !
Had Cus been around for another 5-6 years Tyson would have been the greatest of all time without question. Tyson had such explosive power and he was without fear, but we will never know what could have been...
Elmedin Djuderija I agree with a lot of your points but Jimmy and Kevin were both robbing Mike as well. $2million a fight for a trainer ? 30% cut for the manager ? Come on they were both in it for themselves.
No matter what you think of Tyson you have to admire his honesty.
psychedelic dreams he never raped that bitch. Never
Except for when he lies he raped Desiree Washington. He claims he didn't. In his mind he didn't see it as rape. So he comes off as "honest". In that regard.
Miss Shannon well done for being the only person in the world who believes the conviction was correct. *Ha.*
@@Nathan-yk5km no. I'm not. Twelve jurors a judge his victim and her loved ones and all of new york city's correctional system accept the fact that HE IS A CONVICTED RAPIST. Truth needs no belief.
@@missshannon9790 You are a dumb ignorant bitch and you know nothing about that fucking case
See, journalists? THIS is the real Mike Tyson. This is what you get when you don't come into an interview with judgement or condescension. Graham, I'm so impressed with your interviews, I watch them religiously because you know how to get them talking, and most importantly, you let them talk.
That is too kind, thank you so much for watching! -AD
What I love about this man, is his honesty. He never edits himself.
Tyson's big mistake was leaving Kevin Rooney in 88 as his trainer and going with Don King.
Kevin Trained my cousin in Catskill.
I've been saying the exact same thing for years.
Strongly agreed
So true Kevin Rooney was a true friend to Mike Tyson. King was a the worst person Mike ever met.
Yes.
Just imagine that guy didn't take Mike Tyson to see Cus...
This guys fate, literally, changed by one meeting..
drcheekyisback 100%
drcheekyisback true. A lot of comments here talk about what if Cus lived longer etc all the while forgetting that if they never met in the first place Mike would wind up in jail for most of his life and we would not know him as a boxer.
Dead or 25 to Life... thank Cuss
Crazy how your entire life and life for all of us can change in a second. Surreal
Butterfly effect
MIke is an empath. He feels everything very deeply. Sadness, rage, anger, hope, love - I can relate Mike.
Me too mate respect to you 👍🏻
He is a good man. Everybody has a past, glad to see how Mike has grown as a human being.
I agree...people can learn alot observing Mike and his life. He's learned so much and changed so much it's incredible.
I always cry a little bit when I hear Mike's stories.
doing it right now.
Me too Sir 😊
You're not alone.
I as well...
Same
Wow. Cus was essentially the mother bird protecting Mike as he grew into an eagle in boxing. When Cus died, Mike was left unprotected and that's when the snakes came out and preyed on his lack of protection.
These interviews really show how respectful Mike is. He's a real one.
True he stamped on the snake teddy shitless...he wouldve stamped on king,cayton and givens too....cayton tried to sneak in a 66% cut after jacobs died
"As a matter of fact, it's relieving to give up...."
- Take notes everyone.
What a guy, huge respect!
Mike Tyson didn’t grow up with a father, just a mother. That’s why when he says cus was unemotional like a father figure. A good father can say things that will make his son jump to high levels of greatness.
What a fascinating human being.
One of the most fascinating people of all time.
Both Mike and Cus (for me)
yes indeed he could also be in a criminal mind doc
He wrote a great autobiography , Undisputed Truth
"it's relieving to give up"
wow
it's true some ppl don't have just like Mike says ...they want to give up
That ending was pretty amazing, and so true.
ua-cam.com/video/wG4I3ltk1vA/v-deo.html
yeah a powerful, revealing line
I will never forget that quote from The Champ
"No Cus to tell me how I did. No mother to show clippings to."
:(
Dang no reason to win...no more
@Jiu Jitsu Dweeb 100%
That's seriously deep and powerful
Heartbreaking to hear that. At the end of the day we’re all alone in some sense.
What made it even worse to survive that storm was age and astronomical fame and mike was very educated kid. There were three M’s out of this world at this time.
Mike Jordan
Mike Tyson
Mike Jackson
We still love you champ and its 2019.
Itzahk Pearlman no Frazier?
Hear, hear Karl,, HEAR, HEAR! Mike Tyson IS the GOAT.
And may be making a comeback this year.
Hes 100% authentic...I read his book...Love him as a person..don't care about his past.
JimmyC Cee A lot of the stuff in his past was catalyzed by Don King and the other company Mike kept in the form of fake and bad friends. He was a good hearted guy from the start and they took advantage of a vulnerable kid and pushed him down a dark path, all for the money.
JimmyC Cee Which book? There is a bunch.
I don't care much about any "celebrity" but Mike is the man. I love that guy!
You can see the pain/ love in his eyes and hear it in his voice when he discusse Cus. True Loyalty and Love at its Finest
Mike talks like he never expected to even live this long, I love him so much, I love how he’s evolved as a man & how he appreciates the small things that this life has to offer, he’s a great man
It's amazing how emotionally attached Mike still is to, Cus. It's still eating him alive even today... I love your style of interviewing. Outstanding, thank you!
Must have a great impact on a kid for someone to pick them up and tell them they're are great and capable of achieving things when no one has told them anything.
geggs1 of course he is. He was like a father figure. Emotions don't just completely go away
iron mike is one of the reales mfs alive
"its really easy to give up, as a matter of fact...umm...its relieving to give up" - wow
real man tell truths
It’s really scary this.statement is so true
I think it's fair to say, with all he's been through, mike is a success.
Muh Dewd What a lovely comment
Here is an example of a spiritually mature soul
as a professional at reading body language, everything he’s saying for 11 mins straight is straight from his heart i promise you.
I dont think he's not ever honest with himself
8:35 That heavy breathing and the expression on Mike's face while he was listening to his own words he said after D'Amato's death, recalling that moment and emotions... it just brought tears to my eyes.
lastelin Me too. Well spotted.
If Cus didnt pass away, no doubt Mike Tyson would have been the greatest of all time WITHOUT ANY QUESTION!!!
Not as good as ali! Never! Thats why excuses dont work with tyson as ali suffered much more! His belt was stolen and was threatened to go to prison for 5 years! Ended up loosing his belt and fighting card for 4 years and came back and concurred the fighting world! Lost first fight back to Frazier but after that destroyed Frazier in rematch then Forman to get back his belt and on and on he went for a decade! They got him only when he got Parkinson's at age 40 as he was just to old to fight! As he said after forman im the greatest of all times and when im 50 they might get me then bit im the king of boxing if you want to no anything about boxing dont go to no jimmy the greek dont go to someone in las Vegas come to Muhammad ali!! The greatest of all times! Period!
He is arguably the greatest of all time !
I've toiled about this subject and always leaned toward Ali in the past, but if Cus doesn't pass Mike ends career undefeated! Cus knew the formula for beating Ali, just found him too late!!!
He was the greatest of all time in his generation. Just like Ali was of his . I know I’m not alone in this opinion
Michael McKenzie interestingly enough Cus used to talk to Mike about all the old fighters Dempsey, Louis etc and how they could go about beating them but he always said nobody could beat Prime Ali because he’s the best ever.
Mike genuinely loved Cus man you can hear it when he talks about him... Much respect... Thats awesome...
Jay Dab Judah
Mike has grown beyond the boundaries of their relationship and now empathetically sees Cus as a man who had faults and loves him more for it.
Pure heart! Pure heart on both sides, cus & tyson! Such a wonderful bond!
Cus would be so proud of Mike rite now overcoming all the obstacles in his life to the point of humbility. No amount of money in this world is more important than his health
Graham, my man, you are very good interviewer. You respect your hosts.
in cus he found a father figure......all boys need that and he hadnt had that up to that point........thats why he clearly loved him so much
j mason cus didn’t say it he SHOWED it making him breakfast and shit man 😢
@@JeremyCayaban that's a real father figure. Make your own food
Girls need fathers too
@@Kirchoff7 Girls need fathers even MORE than boys....Almost Every girl without a loving father or father figure ends up with a bad boy on welfare a single mother and many times sliding up and down a pole for dollas
Cus was literally his adoptive father
I dont care what peeps say about iron mike, this man was a terror in the heavyweight division absolutely killen boxers !!
+Jae Ho Song he sen't more ppl into retirement than the insurance companies would have liked.
He fought with fear, and scared to disappoint, that made him very dangerous
who says he wasn't I've never heard anyone talk shit on Tyson
+Drupp12 People talk alot of shit about him and try to discredit his wins and knock outs
Mike have always been surrounded by much envy. The truth is he's one of the most talented HWs ever and noone could touch him through 1986-1989 period.
Hard to believe how smart Tyson was until you listen to him and how well he understood things after he grew up
Mike was the best heavy weight boxer. There will never be another "Iron Mike".
*"I wish he would've saw my children"*
Damn man, thats a different level of respect for someone right there ❤
Mike tyson will always be the best in boxing in his prime, his defence was impregnable.
Euphanasia His style was impetuous, he's the most ferocious and most brutal haha love that clip
@@utoresa5193 praise be to Allah!!!!
IM JUST FEROCIOUS
I'm the best eva
@@utoresa5193 lol 😆
It doesn't get realer than Mike Tyson!
speaks from the heart
Mike Tyson is a hell of a lot wiser than most people realize... The relationship he had with Cus is absolutely amazing. He probably wouldn't be what he is without him.
Mike was a monster in the ring and yet outside the ring he is pretty humble and emotional cool guy. Great guy!
You can see him looking at one place reminiscing, bring all the emotions back
JoeKickass324 at 4:03 after he says he got adopted after his mother died u see it.
This this is such a great interviewer. All his interviews are great.
+Daniel Hernandez Thanks, Daniel!
damn daniel
+Daniel Hernandez Its not the interviewer , Mikes been asked the same questions a million times....its mike wearing his heart on his sleeve as usual and being as real as u can get...as always
+Daniel Hernandez The interviewer is asking scripted questions which are decent, but he's not listening closely to the replies, so he's missing opportunities to ask follow-up questions that could deepen the conversation. For example, Mike explains how Cus got him thinking about how he would beat the top boxers, past & present (a brilliant strategy!), and the interviewer changes the topic to Cus's death. WTF? Put the script down and listen to Mike!
I'm surprised this channel doesn't have more subs
"It's relieving to give up" Powerful lesson he spoke there.
HE CRUSHES ME! I CRY MY EYES OUT WHEN HEY TALKS ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH CUS! I LOVE MIKE!
His growth and maturity as a man is truly astounding.
and he can STILL knock a mans head smooth off
Graham Bensinger is the best interviewer I have ever seen.
+redandsonny Untrue, but I very much appreciate the kind words!
+Graham Bensinger lol your are the best "we have seen" great job
grahm is the most stupidest interviewer ive ever seen.
+redandsonny Larry King's better, and Nardwuar.
+redandsonny he's only 29 years old, he's relatively really young, I'm really surprised in comparison to Larry King who is 81 years old
No matter how many times, or how many years have passed... Every time Mike Tyson talks about Cus he'd choke a little. That's how deep Cus got into his head and his heart.
Mike Tyson is one of the reasons why I went into teaching! He is real, he is powerful, he is complicated, and he is one of the most impressive humans I have ever watched evolve!
You know something, I've this story a thousand times over and it never gets old. Amazing.
This is by far one of the greatest men on the planet... Love this man
I used to really dislike Tyson. He was a mindless thug. Today I look up to him. Reapect him and would be honoured to meet him.
I have never seen anyone turn their life around as mich as Tyson has. Hes now a respectful intelligent humbled guy. In fact hes now a profound mind.
To face your demons and defeate them like he has takes a serious amount of intellignce.and inner strength, that most don'thave.
He inspires me.
The fact is you disliked mike without meeting or knowing him he was never a mindless thug he was just portrayed as one and as you fell for it you do not deserve to meet him
@@matrixstrobe1176 Oh, shut up. Do _you_ know Tyson personally? I certainly would never have accused him of being mindless at any point in his life, but he definitely _was_ a thug, and not always a great guy. I'm pretty sure he'd tell ya that himself. He's said as much himself in multiple interviews.
Product of his environment, sure. But the dark side of him had completely taken over for a real long time. Also, he had a lot of help getting rehabilitated, and to the mindset where he's at today. He didn't get there on his own.
He's a fascinating human being, and a destructive force in the sport of boxing in his heyday, but he's certainly no one worthy of worship or anything.
@@AgentMorgan2010 No. Mike Tyson is a god and an immortal!
Cus taught me everything but one thing he never taught me was that when he was no longer around/here (once he died) all the people around him, his friends would turn against him and me, probably that's because this people never liked me anyway but Cus forced those people to like me
What a great fucking interviewer!! He literally goes back an forth, and slowly dig deep into a person!
Thank God for men like Cus who brought a delinquent out of juvenile detention and made him the world champion!the world was made a better place thanks to the glory and heights Mike achieved through Cus's influence.
This man is a living LEGEND!
I could listen to him talk about Cus all day long. Mike is an extraordinary soul. Cus must be so proud ❤
the love he has for cus man.
when cus died this man passion for boxing and most of things in life died as well
cus was really like a father to him
I think Cus loved Mike so deeply he couldn't even begin to describe it. Mike always makes sure he shows his gratitude with how he speaks about Cus. It's a beautiful thing.
Graham's legitimately my FAVORITE interviewer. He asks all the right questions, but doesn't pry, and lets the person being interviewed express themselves in the most natural and human way possible 👍🏾
One of my heroes. even when he was down he got up. Great video
great interview.........
well done
+Shad Tunison Thanks, Shad!
Welcome Graham Graham Bensinger....keep up the great work , great interviews.
This is my first Mike Tyson interview, he’s actually very intelligent, sensitive, and extremely honest, which I love.
Mikes face at 3:31. Such sadness in his eyes as the the thoughts flood through his mind.
wouldnt it be amazing if tyson opened his own boxing gym and a young crazy italian kid comes in ...... 😔 👐😊
The story goes full circle
Sounds like rocky
And then THAT kid becomes a champ and trains a young black kid, and then THAT kid goes on to train a snake to kill the prime minister of malaysia.
King David malaysia??
King David you mean the prime rib of Malaysia?! Funny response
Mike is so much more intelligent that he gives him self credit for. we watched his struggles play out on tv and in magazines over the years, we saw how so many took advantage of him , we watched him reach the top, then hit the bottom, but mostly we saw him overcome all that life through at him. He is a very genuine person, and He is The greatest...
"He never allowed his emotions to get involved" but mike i dont think its true I mean he adopted you and all
And he said he only lives so long to see Mike becoming the champion
What an intelligent, articulate guy. Great interview.
Mike always tells it like it is, nothing sugar coated, just the honest truth. Magnificent interview as always.
I love Mike Tyson. He speaks from the heart.
Can feel the love in his heart. Atlas said of Tyson that he was 0-5 cause he never been through a real fight and when he did he lost, this interview proves him so wrong. Tyson has been in a fight with life all his life and he winning big now!
Mike kept that genuine innocent young boy mentality the way he expresses himself. As human beings grow up 99% lose the "wonderous kid spirit" but not him. Fascinating person! IRON Mike will always be our "CHAMP"!
People really don't realize how wise Tyson truly is the always portrayed him as slow witch is so not true
One of the most honest athletes when talking about himself. Mike gets better as he ages and i enjoy listening to his life events. He's a accurate boxing historian as well. Iron Mike ...always have and always will my #2 Greateast boxers of all time considering his journey. Great interview!
Mike Tyson has a level of heartfelt honesty when speaking about his life absolute and genuine. Despite his flaws he's relatable and likeable.
He still gets choked up when he speaks about Cus. 💞💔😢
I LOVE YOU MIKE!!!!
Honest.. Real.. Mike Tyson. Listening to him makes my eyes glass over. Thanks for doing such a great job interviewing him.
Please make a movie on Mike Tyson!!
Nine Tails There is a Mike Tyson movie. Was made years back
Yea Tyson is played by Michael jai white he does an excellent job on playing Tyson. It's a movie that HBO released it never hit theaters. You can watch it right now on u tube just type Tyson movie
They are, Jamie Fox is playing him
Another one anyway
@@ftankfregacalleja6434 that was an amazing piece. HBO really used to have their shit together.
“It’s relieving to give up“ so so true.
So much wisdom here.
"It's very easy to give up... in fact it's *relieving* to give up."
Makes you realize how much mental fortitude all of these champions have in order to succeed. They didn't let the mental and emotional hardships and barriers make them quit.
