Mike was raised from 12 to be world champion , like a pitbull, a beast, by Cus DAmato. He trained twice a day every day. He went through hypnosis sessions. Sports psychologists. Cus talked to him every night, motivating him. And he had one in a million genetics, he was bench pressing 185lbs at 13 years old. Last but not least, he came from Brownsville and was tough as nails and antisocially violent. It was a perfect storm to create a world champion, and unlikely to be repeated.

[@TristanMundell]

And nowadays he's changed a lot of the negative things that influenced him when he was younger ❤️

[@PalleSoerensen666]

Sorry but bench pressing not even your bodyweight at 13 is not 1 in a million genetics. But he was also way stronger than that. There was a story in iron ambition about Mike actualky benching 250lb at 13, and he was about 190 himself at that point.

[@stevenab3367]

Yeah your are righrt, at my 13 I trained with 170 lb that was more thsnt my own weigth ​@@PalleSoerensen666

[@cantripleplays]

@@PalleSoerensen666 his 1 in a million genetics is really located around his hip and core. His core flexibility and his hip explosiveness was the key to his power

[@cantripleplays]

and 1 in a million is a SEVERE understatement

⁠ I’m on the path for 6 years. It’s hard, it’s exhausting, but the moment I applied even more discipline plus just not giving up like a lil bitch , watching David Goggins, Jordan Peterson, Jocko.. i learned all of this and discover my purpose . It’s hard the process, even more in the beginning , latter you get frustrated by the weakness times that you drop the ball. But you try being kinder to yourself and your surroundings . And later things start getting better, it’s wonderful but lite it will always be difficult , never accept being mediocre (i’m meditating for 6 years too, take care of your mind) Hopefully i could help you in some way :)

All Mike Tyson needed a hug.

[@TehRaZzHD]

Yeeeeah, i dont think that would have done the Trick lol. A hug really doesnt do shit given the fact of All the things that happened to him in the past. Also everybody has a different approach to those Kind of things. Mike doesn't seem like he is a guy who needs alot of hugs tbh. Maybe this worked out for you and thats cool, but it doesn't mean it works for others. I am still not 100% Sure if your comment is sarcasm. 😂

@@TehRaZzHD as someone with ptsd and a lot of violent rage, your mostly right but it’s because if you tell someone you need a hug and then get it it doesn’t help, but a hug from the right person at the right time without you asking for it, them just seeing it, that shit does more for your well-being than any Therapy, if it didn’t happen to me at one point when I really needed it I wouldn’t be here so a hug from the right person might have changed mikes life path, thankfully for us that never happened and we got to witness the depths of human violence

[@Leopar525]

Looking at Mike as a child breaks my heart man… he didn’t have to go through all this pain…

Weak emotional creature

[@apthetique]

What amazes me most of all is the beautiful arc of Mike's journey, and how now later in life he has become sage and gentle, a warrior in the garden. To me, he represents a fully realized person, one who has expereicned the highest highs and some of the lowest lows. HIs fights were legendary and his style inspirational, but I'm glad the warrior has finally come home.

Yes

[@brayammrivera6274]

“Once I start thinking I’m somebody, I get really offended by them, but when I think I’m nobody, its ok.” Iron Mike Tyson!

Mike has one of the greatest comeback stories in modern culture. Thank you for capturing it in a thoughtful and well made video.

[@durellpowell3324]

I love who Tyson has become as a person long after retiring from fighting,i like to think Cus is proud of the man he has become TYSON IS A GRANDPA NOW, and i love him more now than as a KO artists yet i still would never fight him. He 60 years old and i would rather get hit by a car than Mike. I also listen to Mike, love the brother

[@ironbros2973]

Hey it would be great if you keep educating us more about logical and practical ethics and rules of mike and cuss. I loved this video and I always found mike interesting. He is like a lab bred and we can learn a lot from him. I request you to dive deep in to their psychological + philosophical methodologies instead of just sensationalism which everyone is doing. I really liked your video. Thanks dude ❤

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:30 🥊 Mike Tyson's early interest in the lives and philosophies of conquerors like Alexander the Great and Machiavelli contributed to his rapid rise as a world champion boxer. 01:15 💔 Despite a traumatic childhood and a history of arrests and bullying, Tyson's early life experiences fueled his determination to succeed. 02:32 🥇 Tyson's professional boxing career took off under the guidance of trainer Cus D'Amato, who helped him become the youngest heavyweight world champion in history. 04:11 💪 Tyson's disciplined training regimen, including thousands of sit-ups, push-ups, and more, emphasized the importance of endurance and discipline in achieving success. 06:05 🔥 Tyson's early life challenges and traumas didn't cripple him but instead helped him become comfortable with discomfort and build resilience. 07:36 🌟 Confidence, according to Tyson, is earned through adversity and training, not just through positive affirmations. 08:44 🏆 Tyson's obsession with his goal of being the best in the world and his willingness to make sacrifices were key to his success. 10:13 😱 Tyson used fear as a psychological weapon, instilling fear in his opponents to gain an edge in the ring. 12:04 ⚠️ Tyson's life took a downturn with legal issues, recklessness, and addiction, highlighting the need to adapt to life's unpredictability. 14:32 🔄 Tyson's journey included embracing his darker side and facing his past, leading to personal growth and a better understanding of life. 15:25 🌞 Tyson learned that the purpose of life is to love something greater than yourself, appreciate every moment, and embrace self-discovery.

[@chendaddy]

Think about this, Mike Tyson's career ended in a bit of a golden age for heavyweight boxers. Fighters like Evan Holyfield, Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis all outshined him as his star waned. And yet, in 2023, there is no boxer more famous or relevant in the world than Mike Tyson, with the only possible exception being the legendary Muhammad Ali. But aside from Ali, there's Tyson and that's it. The most popular active boxer in the world was named after Tyson, and he just fought a man whom Tyson trained. Mike Tyson's continued impact on popular culture isn't an accident. For a long time, the public treated him like he was a thug, an animal, but his longevity has proven he had wisdom far beyond nearly all of those people who judged him for so many years.

6:10 Truth! I was a personal trainer for years, started working at a real high end gym for upper middle class and upper class families. Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce often parked out front. I thought I'd learn something about money, what I learned is you think you get to the point you don't need to worry about money. Wrong! The more you have the more you worry about it.
