Mike and Kevin, freaking dream team. 🥊🥊

PLEASE PUT MORE RARE TYSON VIDEOS

[@mehmetataarslan5011]

I am here for "Losing Kevin Rooney was big mistake for Tyson" comments :D

[@cougar231000]

"if he stayed with Rooney he would have been 50 - 0"

[@daveyboy_]

The biggest mistake -

[@MrMov1es]

Mike at hes peak and when he was happy. Look how relaxed he is before hes downfall

[@nickcaesar7650]

Dude...you see that huge bald spot on his head? That’s from him being so stressed his hair started to fall out. He’s talked about it before.

[@MrMov1es]

Nick Caesar no it’s not by stress - he posted a insta Photo where he Said he had some kind of disease...

[@majahstyroberts]

Mike tyson lost himself in prison

[@MrMov1es]

@@majahstyroberts What has that anything to do with all this?

[@rohanhortaleza5536]

@@MrMov1es i read his autobiography "undisputed truth" it is actually from stress and he was under an immense amount of stress even during his peak with rooney

[@fubarin8896]

Nice interview with mike & kevin. Thanks man.

[@TheCinderellaman10]

Look how chiselled tysons face looked here. Rooney always got him into good shape

[@kenscorner3895]

"Alright ... That will do it." End of interview... 😂😂😂😂 dude caught that hint quick!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@TruthRISING2024]

He was an absolute beast.

[@daithiocinnsealach3173]

In his prime Mike Tyson would have destroyed Tyson Fury. I have little doubt about it.

[@Bswithjay]

Permanently disabled him. They would have had to carry fury to hospital in parts

[@Mar_real]

Of course

[@nicklewis2734]

Tyson and Rooney have more or less the same voice 😁

[@user-cg4nc8lb3j]

prime!!

[@anythinggoesvideospart-2242]

COOL

[@anythinggoesvideospart-2242]

Mike was in the NYC CLUBS in the late 80's & the 90's . lol......
He really wasnt in 100% Condition for TUCKER

[@minibuns5397]

Mike Tyson was the smallest heavy weight in the history of champions. His listed height was an exaggeration. His height is actually closer to 5"8 according to trainers and sparring partners that have worked with the Champ.

[@petej5232]

5"11

[@ImranAli-tm3rq]

He's around 5'10..

[@damreeds2360]

It was 5’10 as seen when he stood next to a guy measured at 5’8 and he stood half a forehead taller.

[@AbdulKareem-uy6hk]

@@ImranAli-tm3rq , correct. I've met him. I'm only 5ft10 and 3/4 in height. I was only slightly taller than him...

[@8474Starscream]

1st mistake was leaving Rooney for Mike...............stuff started to spiral out of control fairly quickly.

[@michaelchristopher2003]

What's going on with Mike's hair

[@Kubilay57]

stress

[@Sum_Ting_Wong]

Alopecia

[@coldvoid]

He always did some zeroing on here or there :) This looks a little sloppy, though

[@steviestormmusic5537]

Tyson right eye there something going on with it

[@faizshaikh904]

I think its camera flash

[@steviestormmusic5537]

its the warrior spirt changing and coming through the eye, Warrior Spirt is killer

[@bubbaluv6487]

before don king the serpent

[@brian2100]

Rooney

[@dochvtech22]

Look up Gene Kim

[@armandop9082]

Tyson peak was 86 to 91 ,prison ended his career really , he was never same after that and Holyfield and Lewis took advantage and beat a shell of what he was.

[@Mar_real]

Tyson peak was 85-88

[@Mar_real]

@UA-cam Only 85-88 tyson is peak tyson

[@alarmactionukalarmactionuk893]

Holyfield didnt take advantage of mike; evander was picked for mike to fight in '96 because he was supposedly fading. The tyson camp paid Lewis to stand aside at that time and was stripped of the wbc belt as a result.

[@shwnbur77]

Not taking sides but what great fighter Rooney managed since then?

[@Dooger111]

Vinnie paz is the only other fighter I can think of

[@brian2100]

Guy weren’t Bigger than Tyson they were taller

[@Zeus0886]

Always wondered why Mike had that bald spot

[@matus8862]

Stress

[@rrguitar1]

He talked about it in his book. Anxiety. He rubbed his head si mich and it took his hair out in that spot. He then had someone shave a design looking like a champion belt with bands on each side of it. It's in his book Iron Mike.

[@northernking6610]

Freddie roach use to offer money (1,000 dollars) to anyone who can knock out pacquiao

[@willmac5642]

And year later Rooney was kicked out

[@Mar_real]

Biggest tyson mistake

[@theeagle7054]

"He loves young kids" comments went a bit too long for my taste, what do you feel😂😂😂???

[@daveyboy_]

Never understood whyTucker didn't get a rematch

[@chayomgonja3131]

it depends and the contract

[@daveyboy_]

@@chayomgonja3131 He was the champ, he should have gotten one .

[@JohnnyCage333]

If there was a rematch, Tyson would've won by TKO. It wouldn't have gone 12 rounds.

[@daveyboy_]

@@JohnnyCage333 U never know - Tucker had a broken hand in their 1st fight . Or so he claims

[@Mar_real]

@@daveyboy_ tyson would still win imo

[@JonBeenHereDoingit1423]

This is why he got fired

[@donalosullivan1455]

Explain? Thanks

[@dochvtech22]

He lost most of the rounds though! Ps......look up Gene Kim!
