Buster Douglas lost his mother 11 days before the Tyson fight and he was in training camp, he didn't morn her death because he was so focused. This drove Buster to not fear Mike Tyson at all, Mike Tyson even said he noticed how Buster didn't seem phased and this actually unsettled Mike. Buster's best performance by far.
Yes, and that version of Buster Douglas we never saw again. Although I thought he was lucky not to be counted out when Tyson did put him down. History could have been a lot different given a second or two!
Tyson had Robin Givens on his mind. He thought he'd take out Buster in 2 or 3 rounds at most. Buster never won another fight after that.
@@checka1963 I didn't see the fight live but on video it looks like Douglas is just waiting to get up, not that he couldn't. He just took his time
@@checka1963 Buster purposefully waited for the count to reach 9 for maximum rest time. You can see that he was completely lucid even at the 1 count, because he hit the ground with his fist in frustration. He even looked at Mike Tyson during the count and kneelt on one leg to wait the count.
@@checka1963 Douglas was not lucky not to have been counted out, you must be another dishonest tyson fan. Look at the video, Douglas is fully aware of what's going on when he was on the deck and what the ref was countiing. He was waiting until the count of eight to get up like any smart fighter would do. Had the count been quicker he could have gotten up sooner if he needed to. Again look at the video, Douglas is fully aware of what's going on and waiting to get up when he had to. don king and his henchmen jose sulliman tried to pull that long count BS the next day and held the belt from Douglas until they were called out on their sham of a claim and conceeded. Stop with the stupid long count sham. Another lame excuse by dishonest tyson fans.
I remember watching this video a year ago when I was struggling.. Seeing this has brought tears to my eyes. I live much different life now and this video is still here to remind me of how far I have come. Never give up in life. No condition is permanent
I hope you are better now really sorry you had to go through whatever it is you went through
Times are tough. Tough people outlast tough times however. I'm glad you took whatever opportunity that presented itself and overcame your struggles.
@@tethervest836 You're right friend. We're all not born with the silver spoon, but we have to craft ours. My divorce almost ended my life. I had almost nothing to fall back to. I found out the hard way, savings are overrated. Thank God for chance and a stroke of luck
If you don't find a means of multiplying money you will wake up to nothing one day, thanks to inflation and uncertainties. Nothing beats equities
So how did you pull it off?
For those of us old enough to remember just how ferocious and invincible Tyson was, the moment Douglas dropped him, it was so surreal.
Looks like Buster fight was fixed match
It never should've even gotten to that point. Buster Douglas was down for 14 counts. Dude cheated and that ref should've been sued and fired and barred from the industry
@@Shorkshire how did he cheat?

@@cole_kw ah ok
Rarely has a fighter ever shown such a feat of raw athleticism as Holyfield did in that first Tyson bout.
The class boxers were not intimidated by Tyson knocking out a lot of nobodies. Holyfield owned him from the first seconds of the fight. Tyson ended up biting him in the second bout because he had no answer to Holyfield's class - a good boxer always beats a good fighter.
ye but this guy is just abusing the rules and clinch only and abuse the distance in a real fight outside of the ring he would lose regardless thats why tyson lost controll im sure
@@pavela3009 Excuses, excuses.
He was like a machine. I got tired just watching him.
Agreed, but cheated a bit too
While the loss to Buster Douglas certainly affected the aura and mystique of Iron Mike, the first loss to Holyfield to me was the one that really broke the image of the invincible Iron Mike Tyson. The loss to Douglas can be attributed to Tyson not taking the fight seriously and was not really prepared, so that was more of a mental loss, but the fight with Holyfield was truly a fight he lost in the ring, as well as the fight with Lewis. The last two L's were just due to a fighter showing his age and clinging on too long.
Totally agree. Mike had a great career but, like every athlete, they all lose to prime aged contenders eventually
Tyson was still very young only in his twenties still in his prime!
Can’t forget about before all that when I beat him up I really don’t talk about it that broke him
@@twongreen9968 Are e you really mitch blood green? ???
I totally agree💯
After all of those years,those fights,those boxers whom we loved and hated,I must say we have to appreciate them for entertaining us,being a boxer wasn't easy.I'm missing the '90s. Iron Mike Tyson is still my favorite boxer.I truly wish him well.
90’s Tyson was fun to watch, but the fights sure didn’t last very long.
Fuck’s sakes PUT SPACES BETWEEN SENTENCES.
@@VirtualBilly 🤡
i wish him all the best life has
Yeah, it's nice to wish well to a racist rapist. might as wish well to bill the date-rape-pill cosby too.
It’s almost unreal to see Tyson get knocked out when you see how dominant he was in his prime, just goes to show how anyone can be defeated.
I disagree. If cus didn't die and Tyson didn't go to gaol then he would of been undefeated and president of the world
You mean knocking out old and nobody fighters. He cant fight a boxer never could. Gabe evander his best shotd , evander just shook them off. Mike didn't know what to do. This guy won't go down. Tyson is overrated always was. In his "prime" he fought no one. Feel free to tell me who.
@@joeyjohnson4826 non of the eva see fights where his best shot he had lost interest in the sport after cus died and his other coaches departed after that he just wasn’t the same if things had been different mike would have slaughtered evander end of🤷♂️
@@WIZARD-qp2ho lol Mike was a brawler. His list of knockouts Bums. Nobodies. Glass jaw wonders. Evander could take a punch . And was a better boxer . Learn the difference between a brawler and a boxer. Tyson could not box, when he had to use strategy and endurance he was toast. His early days none of the bums he fought could get passed the first two rounds. Sorry. Evander was the superior boxer.
@@WIZARD-qp2ho he's not even the greatest brawler of all time. That would be rocky Marciano. Who was a brawler, but could take a punch. Beat him a bloody mess he just kept coming. Like mike short undersized. Unlike Mike could take as well as he gave. Greatest boxer of all time. Ali of course. He showed in his forman fight, you can wear a puncher down, and never throw a punch. Boxing ...wore big George down, and knocked him down like a tree. Tyson was good not great. 😁
Nobody gave Tyson such a beating than James Douglas and he’s never had the recognition he deserved for that brilliant boxing display he produced that night. Don’t forget- Tyson was an unbeaten UNIFIED heavyweight champion that night. And Tyson got a very long count too.
Agreed ....Buster smashed him.....and the excuses begun
I think Don King gave him a bigger beat down.
Robin Givens gave him the biggest beating
@@shaunbat5097no excuses just facts
That holyfield feint was pure perfection combined with that step back was beautiful. Nobody did it better in boxing ever...
Totally agree 👍
I think sometimes Tyson was so feared that the ref was scared to stop it incase mike was angry that he did
As this legend already won many matches, you get older and tired and you just don't care anymore, it's just another day at the office with this guy... Just too bad he couldn't end his career and ongoing reputations in his predominant time, it's just a bit sad when you keep going for more than you should and then you start losing the time you older and retire!
Blud blaming age☠️☠️
But when you feel like you want to retire and then the organisers tempt you with another massive pay out if you fight one more... He was £38 million in debt in 2004.

Fighting mid tier fighter
Great thrashing of Tyson !!
Really Enjoyed.
Tyson went from being a complete fighter to being a head hunter
Unfortunately Mike lost it mentally and went from being super focussed and controlled in his early prime years to being mad and wild after his jail episode.
@@checka1963 true
Knockouts fill the seats, and gets the PPV money. Headhunting is a quick way to make a ton of money in a short amount of time.
@@Konglomerant but not great against boxers like Holifield Usyk fury etc
He was on vacation during "The change" and was not able to retain his youthful mobility.
BillyjoSaunders did same thing from Middle to Super,was not slick anymore.
30 Starts pelvic floor changes in all humanity,must be combated with special sprints to postpone it.
No head movement,no tight space fluidity.
Mike was an animal in the 80's..
Did not see anybody around then.
A 2 point deduction for biting off a chunk of a man's ear?!? More like disqualification!!
He head butt him twice before that he bit his ear
OH ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY!
Very good video.
Thanks so much ❤❤❤
The real champ of the 90's, Evander' The Real Deal' Holyfield.
Couldn't beat Lewis after 2 attempts and with the help of the judges.
No that was Lennox with Holy a close second - both way ahead of Tyson.
@@robertgreen9717 Let's not act like that was a prime Holyfield, he was already fading by the time him and Lewis fought, he was almost 40 and even then he still put up a pretty good fight, definitely way better than what Tyson did against Lewis, which was an embarrassment.
The only thing Holifield lacked in his arsenal was true knockout power. Other than that, he was a complete fighter. He might not knock you out, but he would beat the sh*t out of you, lol!
Until Holyfield fought James Toomey that is. Everyone has their nemesis and for Holyfield, Toomey was surely it. Its the only fight when Holyfield looked well beaten, apart maybe he was in trouble a lot against Lennox Lewis at times too in fight 1. But you gotta love his phenomenal will power and fighting instinct and he is a great guy!
Correct! Holyfield had an "Iron" chin that even Foreman couldn't knock him out.
Holy field is goat
-@@christopherhaynes8864 Lewis was goater, but Ali is the true GOAT. He would have knocked out Tyson quicker than he knocked out Liston, a massive, mean brawler who would have torn little Mike Tyson to shreds.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY AGREE!
Tyson was never the same after firing Kevin Rooney. Young Mike was very elusive defensively and worked the body. Post Rooney he became a headhunter and stood in front of his opponents.
mu
After his "Dad" Cus died, he was never the same. About the time that viper Robin Givens got ahold of him right after Cus was in the ground. The old man lives....Mike never loses. Its that simple.
@@o.tonirandle4712 Rooney coached the Cus D’mato peek-a-boo boxing style. So it was the same system. Tyson still won plenty of big fights with Rooney after Cus’s death
That style required a lot of training. He may have given up on the training with Rooney too.
A worthy comment Phil, but I'm fairly sure Don King was behind the demise of Rooney as Tyson's trainer. People say Iron Mike lost his peek-a-boo style after he parted company with Rooney, but I can't agree. His defence was always intuitively solid throughout his career, and it was his slowing speed which enabled opponents to hit him - a result of too many drugs, alcohol, personal problems and no one (no D'Amato or Rooney) to stop a Tyson with too much money and no control. King destroyed Tyson by using him as his prime cash cow without enough care or guidance, who otherwise may have become the greateast HW of all-time.
I absolutely love the content on your channel! Your insights into the boxing world are incredibly informative and engaging. Keep up the fantastic work! Looking forward to more great videos from you.
Like with Michael Jordan, having lived through Tyson's greatest, it is hard to describe exactly how dominating he was considered and how much everyone talked about him and followed his every fight. He was the last boxer to be 'water cooler'; talk the next day. One of those once in a lifetime dominating figures.
i don't know, tons of water cooler talks about all kinds of box games.
Boxing has never been very big where I'm from, but even us as kids were talking about Mike Tyson. What a legend!
The fall of a legend starts when he believes he is invincible.
It's actually when his opponent knows he's not.
Rocky Marciano never lost a fight and would have pounded Tyson.
@@ricktheitalianrebel6687 lmao no there's a reason weight classes exist, tyson is 50 pounds heavier than rocky
@@blazesmooth5573 NOt sure the stupidity of your comment because Marciano was a heavyweight and the only ever to retire undefeated. He would have pounded the dumb Tyson into a pulp
@@blazesmooth5573 True but Bowe, Foreman, and Lewis were all considerably bigger than Holyfield, Tunney was much bigger than Greb, but I do think Rocky would be an undefeated Cruiserweight in the modern era an Italian Dwight Qwai. I believe a 6' 3' to 6' 6" heavyweight that weighs between 215 and 235 is the perfect size. Tyson was an anomaly but he'd still be champion with this current weak crop!!!
Every man has a breaking point. The legendary Mike Tyson's breaking point began with the lost to Holyfield. That was the first breakdown in the career of the legend. The subsequent lost afterwards was a law of diminishing return that sets in on his body system. He is inarguably the best inring performer of the 90s.
Robin Givens broke him, then Don King ate him.
And you work at walmart making 9 bucks an hour with an ugly wife and two ugly kids...what was your breaking point?
Nah buster douglas shattered his ego & he was mentally weak he got exposed and never was the same
@@showbread9366 That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.
@@peterambi7186 thanks your permission. I was actually alive in the 80s and saw Tyson’s career real-time not retrospectively 😉
Mike Tyson's knockouts were legendary! His power and ferocity in the ring were unmatched. This video is a great tribute to his incredible skill and dominance. Iron Mike will always be remembered as one of the greatest heavyweights of all time.
No one will remember the last two bums that beat Tyson. But Douglas, Holyfield, and Lewis' names will live forever.
If Cus had taken care of Mike until the end, I think he would have retired undefeated.
Good to see that in the end, Tyson was able to turn his life around and regain balance and self respect.
Only great men can do that,after suffering so much loss in such a short time.
Good job sir!!!
If cus was alive Tyson would be the greatest of all time no doubt. After Tyson had reached world champion he lost his motivation, With Cus there, Cus would have kept him and motivated him to just be the greatest not just the best.
Nah. Tyson was great but no way he could beat Evander or Lennox even with Cus
@@imma5761 well... It would have been nice to see what kind of boxer he would have turned out to be with Cus beside him till the end...
@julian marx Mike obviously had the tools but the company u keep makes a big difference..everyone mourns differently and considering the tremendous impact Cus played in Tysons life ...I've seen current videos of Tyson still getting emotional speaking on Cus
Coulda woulda shoulda
Boy, this guy was great but the years slip by too dam fast. He will never be forgotten.
'Tyson was amazing in his prime'.
Beating a 38 year old Larry Holmes and Michael Spinks was literally Tyson's prime and that's all he ever did. His highlight reel knockouts of journeymen and antics outside the ring are the only reason casual boxing fans call him a heavyweight great.
Compare his heart to Ali Joe George, Larry and Holy.
It's utterly laughable. 😂
Tyson alway had trouble with bigger opponents with good boxing skills and guys who were not afraid of him. Buster showed up, Evander wasn’t afraid of anyone, and Lennox was one of the best of all time.
Been watching a lot of Tyson videos lately, all his wins from day1 and on and I got to say, every single loss... he didn't look like "Iron" Mike Tyson. I don't know what was going on with him in his personal life or training, but from the first loss to the 6th, there were merely spurts or flashes of the champ. He didn't look like the complete package he had been up to that first loss.
Absolutely. He was astonishingly good in his prime and the Tyson losses were all through another man who didnt move anymore, didnt have self control and didnt have any plan when things went wrong. Plus he just looked plain lost at times. The biting of Holyfield's ears kinda said it all, what mind state he had got into. But glad to see in old age he is quite a charismatic and still fit man with no more axes to grind.
He lost his best coaches.
too much alcohol and women
Better competition for one.He made bad lifestyle choices as many did.I personally don't really count losses after the age of 35.
Don King is what happened. King was a total D-bag!
Mike's biggest win was self-realisation after the fact, that he was a peaceful human being and that he had more to offer the world in all respects of life. Truly the GOAT.
Not even in the top five. Too many loses.
@@thetruthfornow6045 the losses are at the end. Every fighter who fights beyond their time accrues losses. Muhammad Ali lost a good few also.
Losses mean nothing judge a person by there highest points not after their prime, just because people have lost doesn’t mean they aren’t one of the greatest of all time
@@kevinhoward4182 Ali faced better competition. He was faster and had an iron jaw. He would have taken some heavy leather and recovered. As the fight progressed he would use his reach to pile up points. A desperate and tired Tyson would then be a sitting target for a fatal flurry and TKO.

Mike Tyson basically hung on to the game way to long, just like many other prized fighters, his quickness had left him. Don King robbed him of all his riches and took advantage of him, and that was so sad.
But he lost early in the game and made more money than everybody !
The drugs and alcohol also fucked him up or else he would had been the best boxer to ever live!
@@joenaps104 I totally agree.
@@joenaps104 I grew up watching Tyson I was only 8 when he won the title but have fond memories of watching so many of his fights!
However I wonder if at his best and if he’d never gone to prison if he’d have beaten Holyfield or Bowe the 92 and 93 versions? It’s possible he may have beaten Lewis before Steward improved upon many of his flaws
Don king robbed Tyson, but he didn’t rob him of all his riches!! Tyson has himself admitted blowing the best part of 200 million!!
Tyson was amazing in his prime...but after his first 4 losses to very good opponents (Douglas, Holyfield x2 and Lewis) he seemed to have lost the will to fight..almost as if he was just fighting not to lose. Great career overall.
@@hi-dl4kw no its because holyfield keeps doing headbutts then clinch thats why he was so mad the first fight was the real deal he did deserve that win
When was Tyson's prime? And how long did it last? Because the likes of Lewis and holyfield were in their prime for atleast 10years. Tyson was a flash in the pan. He never had a "prime" he looked exciting but that's about it
@GateCrasher...he was a flash in the pan, winning his first 37 pro fights ?
He never lost his will...he just started fighting guys who were better than him.
50 and 8 🤷🏾♂️
Pra mim o melhor do BOX !
Holyfield is ferocious. There's no quit in him!
Tyson is a beast at endurance, he only fell because he lost balance after getting a direct body shot, not because he was disoriented or hurt.
You can see how he can truly stay standing in the final round, almost fell but made sure not to break
Why they let the fight carry on after Tyson bit a chunk of his ear off is quite frankly beyond me 🙄🙄
I mean....Holyfield was headbutting him. And was it really a "big chunk" of the ear? Looked more like a little piece.
@@TransformersTalkRAW if u watch the footage pal it was about an inch give or take of his ear cartilage, there's plenty of photos & video footage to reveiw of it. Regardless of headbutting u don't bite someone's ear off 🤣🤣 I'd like to think we've evolved a little from primitive animal instincts & behaviors, that's what u would expect from a dog. The truth is it wasn't about Hollyfield headbutting him, it was about Tyson getting frustrated with himself, holyfield & boxing in general cos he knew he couldn't win & he knew his glory days were in the past 💯
@@TransformersTalkRAW bro come on now, I love iron Mike but that shit was waaaaaayyyyyyy beyond towing the line to bad sportsmanship. It was a disgraceful act, and it was a stain on a legendary career. If I BITE off a little chunk of your ear I’m sure your ass is gonna cry.

Everyone forgets the loss Mike Tyson suffered on October 18, 1987 at the hands of then 17 year old Little Mac. He was famously trained by Doc Louis.

@@doug-wp1ddever heard of commas or periods? Ffs you just Jibber jabbered nonsense
Buster Douglas was the big surprise, I will never forget the shock of seeing buster fighting back and dominating the fight when everyone else looked beaten before they entered the arena.
3 of those in last couple of years of his career that had been going on 20 years. Like many others he was just clinging on for paydays and it was sad to see. 5 of his 6 defeats came afters being in jail and 4 years out the ring, anybody who makes out that wouldn't affect any top HW has a hole in their head.
Big guys with skill who fought back gave him problems. When that happened, he didn't have a Plan B. He was lost without Cus D'amato and Kevin Rooney. Douglas exposed him. In his prime, he would not have beaten Holyfield or Lewis.
@@jayritchie851 Big guys with skill who fight back give anybody problems that is the name of the game. Tyson was 5'10" with a short reach so most were big guys to him and in the 80's/90s plenty had good skill. Berbick tried to fight him and lost as did Bruno. Not many were more skilful than Spinks and even an old Holmes, they got obliterated. Ruddock fought well but was beaten x2 post Douglas, Stewart was a big puncher who'd only lost to Holyfield giving him hell he was out in 1. You could say Lewis lost to anybody who found his jaw with a big counter or Holyfield lost to anybody who could avoid his head but that isn't stritcly true, neither is. the notion that Tyson lost every time someone fought back, just a complete myth no balanced boxing fan buys into.
philip tomlinson also , Tyson could not take the punches that he dished out
@@dennispickard7743 Yeah when he was old and shot, like any other fighter in that position just fighting for money.
Always make up excuses
I think it’s so cool that Mr Tyson teaches people to work out their problems with fists. I love you Mr Tyson
Douglas and Hollyfield actually lifted Tyson off the canvas with some of the body blows. Unbelievable.
Whereas Lewis toyed with him like a cat toys with a mouse, prolonging the torure until he got bored with it and went in for the kill. He could have taken out Tyson in an earlier round, but after Tyson had told Lewis he was "going to eat his children", Lewis was going to show no mercy and wanted to see him bleed and suffer before he finished him off with a brutal right and a contemptuous push to the canvas.

Lewis was a class act. Danny Williams was quite well-known in Britain at the time but I'm sure he'd admit himself would never have beaten Tyson in his prime. Great attitude though and he went there to win and took Tyson on from the start of the fight. Game fighter and a nice guy as well.
Prime Lewis was still a better fighter than prime Tyson…
I like this Channel, The topic is same in Video containt,
Thank you
I was in the Catskill training camp Tyson used throughout his most prolific periods in the late 70s and early 80s, i wasn’t a sparring partner I was a painter and decorator. I found Mike to be friendly and approachable and he would take time out from training and ask me questions about paints and wallpaper
For some reason, the idea of Mike Tyson talking about wallpaper amuses me.
Oooh yeah, buster Doug busted the buster with a four strike combo, beautiful.. that last shot was the icing on that knuckle sammich..

@@SuperHns The referee ignored Holyfield's head butts to Tyson. You never hear about that, just about Mike biting his ear. It was Mike's retaliation for what Holyfield was doing to him. Holyfield is known as a dirty fighter.

The first fight between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield was an all time classic. I think Holyfield just out boxed him in that one. But that being said, Mike Tyson only lost 6 fights. Very impressive career!

i loved how buster just squared up to tyson as in a real fight he had nothing to lose. Buster said in a interview he didn’t care if he died in the ring.
ppff 1 hit wonder, he never did shit after that. Mike however is a fucking legend, he was up partying till 6:00 Am before the fight with Busta Douglas. So still took 10 rounds.
@@SuperHns true, but his one hit was insane. The guy boxed like someone else that night, like a man possessed. Did he really need to do anything more after managing that miracle? Only a handful of people managed to do it even way after his prime.
Never underestimate any fight always expect a tough fight never drop your guard.
Tyson was so fast and hit with such power and his training was smart and meticulous early on. Some of that even showed in his performances after 1995. Douglas' performance in that fight was inspiring, but while Tyson looked fit and ready to fight he did not appear focused at all on the things that worked for him in the past. Looking at these fights with Holyfield, I can't decide whether Tyson had lost some punching power or if Holyfield could take a punch better than all of his other opponents. Either way, Holyfield figured him out. For Tyson to have continued success boxing the way he had earlier in his career it would have taken intense conditioning and focus, which it appears he had lost. Mike Tyson was always my favorite, but Evander Holyfield was one hell of a boxer. I wish that fight happened in 1989.
Look at Tyson now though....happy, funny, enjoying his life...love you mike.🇬🇧👍🇺🇲💯💯💯✌️

No wonder they avoided Holyfield at the peak. Tyson was briefly devastating, but, when he lost the snap, it turned to desperation or disillusionment.
That Douglas fight was ridiculous... Mike wasn't himself that fight. The slow count!!! And the KO.... I was beyond upset and shocked.
Tyson might have known that his mother died and wasn't feeling his normal rage. Douglas just had his mother die and had abnormal rage.
This fight it s a masterpiece
The sad part of the Lewis/Tyson fight was that not only did Lewis have to fight Tyson, he had to fight Eddie Cotton as well. Cotton was a HUGE Tyson fan and had really hoped that this fight would be Tyson's comeback. Of course this didn't happen. Even George Foreman who was giving guest commentary openly said that this was the case.
Mike Tyson Always Legend For Me ! we love mike tyson forever !
i remember watching the lennox luis ppv. it was really sad seeing my childhood hero lose his spark. you could tell mike wasn't the same anymore. he had fear that he didn't have before.
As a master myself of martial arts... and growing up watching this legend from beginning to end of boxing career was really amazing to watch.... I learned a lot from his technique...
Son, be quiet

@@pauljohn6546 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Master😂😂😂
George Foreman would have been on this list but Tyson was afraid to fight him
Perhaps but Tyson made a habit of not fighting top contenders. He did not fight Witherspoon in the 1980s and in the 1990s managed to avoid Tua, McCall, Morrison, Vitali, Mercer, Rahman, Bowe, and Moorer. He continually ducked Lewis in the 1990s too having paid him off, after losing a court case, so he could fight Bruce Seldon instead.
@@Kaiserbill99 how you think a fight with him in Tua would have played out?
@@undertakerfanz8974 I think both Tua and Mercer would have pushed him to the limit and Bowe would have knocked him out.
@@Kaiserbill99 I think he beats all 3 of them but he did not want to fight Bowe because they are from the same neighborhood that's what he told Larry King
@@undertakerfanz8974 Not sure how I follow that logic. Had Bowe been 6', 40lbs lighter, and 15&5 then I'm sure Tyson would have had no issues fighting him. Not sure why a convicted rapist and a man who could bite a chunk off an opponent's ear would have such sensibilities. I suspect Tyson would have fought his granny for a decent pay day.
Lenox was a heck of a fighter.
Top 6 all time in my opinion.I like Ali @1 but Lennox or a young Larry could have been problematic. People make excuses for their favorites but you're lifestyle choices are part of it.They say ,well if Tyson still had Cus & Rooney & didn't chase skirts & coke he'd have been the best.That's part of it!!!
It was such a shame he didn't fight Klitschko a second time. He was scared. Klitschko was winning that first fight too bad they stopped it because of a cut.
@@michaelbottjer3385 he wasnt scared...Lewis took the fight to easy...havent realy prepare for the fight. "HE lose it because a CUT"....dude Lennox punched Klitschkos Half Face off....lewis beat all his contrahents....in a second match he knocked klitchko out...like everone else
@@sapereaude7115 Lennox and Klitschko never for twice. The first fight ended due to a nasty cut over klitschko's eye which resulted in a TKO. All three judges had Klitschko up on their fight cards. Lennox Lewis retired shortly after because he knew in a rematch he would lose to Vladimir Klitschko. Lennox Lewis would back everybody up with his long job but he struggled with that since Klitschko was taller and had an equally long Jab. Like I said the dude was scared to fight him again
@@michaelbottjer3385 you have no clue dude. "Too bad they stopped it"...when they dont stop the fight Klitschko would have been blind on the one eye. Watch how klitschko look after the fight and then Lennox. Lennox say after the fight "you can have a rematch....then i destroy the other Half of your face the same way". Lennox never lose a fight...the only lose wasnt a lose...when they fight twice Lennox would it take more serious and win by KO....even when Lewis was at the end of his age....he was still untouchable. You just a klitchko fanboy who liked his own comments...
Lennox was one of the greatest of all time. He beat Tyson....he beat holyfield...he beat them everyone....get that
A true Warrior no have trainers only himself to get the Glory and Victory 💪🏻!
Holyfield has got to be one of the best right next to Tyson. Who else can say they beat this dude twice
Evander is a Friend from my Dad ! He is very good Boxer! Lg from Fritsch Toni from the Texas Cowboys but he R.I.P and my Father Walter Mann from Austria Vienna
Watching this video is like watching a nat geo documentary of a lion ruling the territory, every creature scared by his mere presence....And then as the lion starts to get old, new lions come in and take over the territory and the pride.
Saddens me, but that's the law of nature. One of the greatest there ever will be. Iron Mike.

his style was based on speed, as he got older his style was less effective, he still is one of the GOATS from ages 19-30
Nah, he just lost against almost everyone that fought back. Tyson was 23 when he fought Douglas.
@@Jab18like who
That 5 punch combination of Douglas was appropriately legendary for the ultimate K.O.
Mike was really capable to take some brutal punches back to back and kept yourself standing.
totally insane
He had a horrible defense!
I can't believe I cannot believe a wonderful athletic like Mike Tyson many men wished they had his power he was tired and fed up with all the trials and tribulations that he went through in life
all at his own hands.
The Buster Douglas fight was without a doubt the best, most shocking KO of Tyson.
tyson got robbed that fight ref took his time when tyson knocked down buster but when buster knocked tyson down he counted fast
@@StevenNeidleinkkkkkkk Poor guy, he only had the energy to fight until the referee counted 10 seconds? Loser's excuse.
@@Fernandes-007 not a loser excuse you don't know how boxing works stay dumb
up till this fight, i had never seen Tyson's head rocked so solid like Busters uppercut did.
When you said 'I hope you enjoyed this' I think the opposite is true. Mike Tyson was amazing and it is sad the politics, social pressures and financial abuse of his finances had him fighting well past his 'best before' date. If he had the opportunity to do it all over again I'm guessing he wouldn't have married his gold digger wife, he wouldn't have gone to prison, he would have hired financial consultants OUTSIDE of the boxing industry and he would have retired much earlier with a brighter future, socially, and financially.
Maybe mike is just a dumb guy?
You are just another dishonest tyson fan making excuses for him getting demolished by Dougls, Holyfield, and Lewis
@@Rayburn58 No, he really is a dumb guy. Only a dumb guy goes from being worth $300 million to living on the streets.
Hindsight often is seen in 20/20
He was a great fighter till he wasn't.
All of the predictable excuses....
When you are a true
HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP, it's because you have command over you life, intellectually, emotionally, physically, financially. You are your own CHAMPION in all facets. You don't need one excuse let alone a warehouse full of them. When you are a TRUE CHAMPION you don't play the victim card.
I'm such a fan of Iron Mike it took nearly twenty years before I could watch the Douglas fight from a neutral stand point it was only then that I was able to see the masterpiece of a fight that Douglas had that night. The last combo was a work of art because Douglas had to change leads mid combo inorder to stay in range as Mike stumbled across the ring.
Wayman Johnson, absolutely! I think many fans don't give Douglas the credit he deserves for that fight. In my mind the real Iron Mike has only been beaten by 2 boxers, Douglas and Holyfield.
He initially only fought bums which first made him a celebrity. The real contenders showed who Tyson really was, over hyped and substandard
@@whatitisnt. true, he initially fought bums, can't disagree but that's fairly standard practice with young boxers. Tyson did then go on to beat (ie. destroy) all the top heavyweights of that era. I too used to think Iron Mike was over-hyped but only as I've aged did I begin to give Iron Mike the credit he deserved .... an incredible combination of speed and power, and illusive to hit.
@@sdiz3430 top heavy weights who the guys that crushed him.
@@whatitisnt. You don't know what you're talking about, just a contrarian coping
No matter how good you are, there is always somebody better.
No
That's what your gf said bout me... 😂
@@phuckhugheYou're reveling in immorality and lewdness? Kudos to you.
Mike put the X factor back into Heavyweight boxing, he was a real life Rocky who made boxing memorable.
Tyson is the legend 👍👍👍
Evander was so FAST WOW, and good on ref for stopping the fight when he did I was the right time but most would've waited much longer
He was a colossus in his prime. I will never forget my shock on being told he lost to Douglas. I just couldn't believe it.
I could
Tillis and Tucker showed the blueprint.
Ali would have made a fool of him in and out of the ring
Oh and (asI have said) if he had tried his cowardly biting bullshit with Sonny, Joe and George (Sonny in particular) he would have ended up on a stretcher.
@@philsymes I agree. The golden age of heavyweight boxing had passed after the 1970s.
@@glennhubbard5008
That was some era Glenn, the nearest I can think of was the '90's. 👍😊
@@philsymes Right. Tyson was the most dominant heavyweight boxer of the 80s, but the competition just didn't measure up to other eras at all.
@@glennhubbard5008
Spot on. 😊👍
Great Mike is always great. When he brought down James he punched only once. He stopped immediately when James got destabilised. Whereas James threw continuous punches even after Mike got destabilised in Round 10. Mike you are always great
It's sad to remember the falling of a TRUE LEGEND! Tyson FOREVER!
Certainly not..his two greatest challengers beat him...he proved to be human..even he would disagree with you
@@mlamantia100 yes he's a legend,no like you

Enjoyable to watch
B fighter
Good day
As a fully grown hairy arsed man I'm not ashamed to say watching these back had me welling up plus in a bittersweet waymy two fave home country (Scotland) fighters in Willie limond & Alex Arthur my fave fights are venursen Gomez when both lost as showed thier true guts n toughness albeit in a bittersweet form❤
Man after he got rid of Kevin Rooney he was never the same, his fighting style was so off, he wasn't quick on his feet he just stood there, he didn't duck and dodge like he used to, he started to laze out on his training and went under bad influences, I'm sure he would have been defeated eventually, but if he kept his old style with Rooney and kept in shape I am sure he could have gone 60 or 70 maybe even 80 or so wins and zero losses
Actually this fight was illegal.because Tyson body is small and opponent body is giant.
I think it didn’t help him getting rid of Rooney, but on February 11, 1990, it could have been Mike Tyson or Tyson Fury or even Muhammad Ali in his prime and James “Buster” Douglas was leaving with the Heavyweight Championship of the World and no one was going to change that.
How long have you had this information potato?🤔
Hey
@@danielhenderson8316 lol please he nearly lost that day lets not get ahead of ourselves
I who has been an awowed fan of Mikey was speechless at the beating he took from some of the other boxers.
He dished it out though too. The only thing he ever had to apologize for was Evander's ear.
Glorious.
When you got a single digit number of losses throughout your whole life you know you're legendary!!!!🤜🤛
