Blood green was a guest on pistons basketball champ John Sally's show like 20 years later . They started talking about his Tyson fight that he had him beat and Sally's co host said you know Sally is Tysons boy. And then they told Blood green to look at the 1st row of the audience. Mike Tyson was there even blood green laughed when Tyson waved hi. That was epic. A must see. Blood Green did VHS videos and put them out on HBO before social media and YT was a conversation. We have to give him that one.

[@braveheart4603]

@@julietrae8665 After Tyson was released from prison he was never the same fighter again even though he would still win fights. It's better to think of Tyson pre and post prison sentence as two completely different fighter's IMHO as the young Tyson was easily in the top three of all heavyweights throughout the sport's history when it came to goat status whereas Tyson post serving his sentence was a deeply talented fighter who drank too much taking too many drugs and turned up to fights with no proper preparation hoping that the opponent would just fall over without providing any resistance whatsoever. Your gonna have to scrape someone like Holyfield off the canvas way before he'd consider quitting in a fight and he's definitely not the type of dude you want to slip against and not be at your best.

He was a legendary fighter by the time he faced Tyson , and STILL couldn’t f**k with a young Tyson who was only a pro fighter for not even 3 years ! Buster was no slouch, very good fighter indeed, but Tyson had an off-night for-sure that night. 5 years into Tyson’s career, he had 10 title defenses in only 37 fights, and people act like he wasn’t going to have an off-night eventually.

For the record the first boxing telecast I watched on HBO was the doubleheader, Chavez vs Prachett and Holmes vs Spinks I. But it was unquestionably Mike Tyson who I looked up to so much and got so excited to watch him fight and that lead me to become a hardcore fan. The second I started watching regularly was Chavez, and I started to hear the phrase p4p the best fighter.

@@simonjames1604 I wouldn't say the guys aren't complete bums. Call them paper champs all you want but Berbick, Thomas, Smith, Tucker, Biggs, Tubbs, Bruno and Williams were all good heavy weight boxers during all his defenses. Great? Debatable but all very formidable with also a win against Spinks (that didn't look all that great in heavy weight tbh) and an untrained and retired Larry Homes. Also James Douglas wasn't a "nobody". He was a top 10 contender by the time Mike Tyson fought him with wins over McCall, Berbick, Greg Page, Cobb and a good showing against Tony Tucker before he got stopped on the 10th round. Era was kinda similar to late 20's to early 30's where there was alot of passing of the heavy weight crown before Louis took it and held it for over a decade.

[@00tonytone]

18 professional fights in 1 year . That's more than 1 a month. That shits unheard of back then or now. His early downfall was robin Williams her mother and Don king. We can all say he made dumb decisions. But women been bringing man down since the beginning of time. Adam and eve. And Cleopatra got Julius caesar killed by the own senate he started. Pussy been manipulating men Since Genesis chapter 1. Tyson getting played By Robin Williams was nothing new under the sun. She probably wanted a little more than 10 mil. In those 8 months But yo it beats a blank or a couple of thousand from an old out played sitcom. Tell me no. She also took the jersey mansion and a couple of Ferrari's. That some good ass pussy earnings if I do say so myself.

He beat Ruddick twice who had the best smash punch in the heavy weights. Besides Tysons 2 losses and Evander disqualification he KO everybody in the 1st 2 rounds except for Holmes it was in the 8th and 2nd Ruddick rematch. The record of the age Tyson got all 3 belts and the way he did it knocking top 10 boxers in the 1st will never ever be matched or broken. Lewis was real good, but if Tyson would of stayed in the hands that Cus Demato left him in. He would of beaten Lewis and broken Marcianos record easy.

[@robertcatania1120]

Tyson is my favorite boxer of all-time and you didn't disappoint here Rummy. It is still my opinion that a "prime Mike Tyson" which is classified under Cus and Rooney's watch is the most unbeatable heavyweight of all-time and would take that version of him (focused and well-trained) against any heavyweight in history. I love your other video on just the Tyson vs Douglas fight, but it still amazes me how unprepared the Tyson camp was for that fight. In addition to Tyson's lack of hunger (vs Buster's immense hunger for the title in honor of his mother's passing), the entire camp took this fight as a joke to the point that they didn't even have an eye swell in the corner...they famously used a rubber glove filled up with cold water to help with the swelling and they couldn't use vaseline because Tyson was allergic. It's truly one of the most disappointing events in terms of what could have been in his legacy if he had the right people still around him keeping him focused, properly trained, and protected. This takes nothing away from Douglas who was absolutely brilliant that night, he doesn't get enough credit for how well of a performance he put in that night. Tyson took and absolute beating for 10 rounds, it wasn't a fluke KO by any stretch of the imagination. Still one of the best combinations thrown for a KO in history of the sport. Speaking of combinations, Tyson's right to the body followed by right uppercut is by far my favorite of all-time. It is beautiful to watch in all his early fights. His speed, power, and elusiveness in those early years were truly legendary.

[@BiggieBigLnPac]

I saw enough of peak Mike against guys like tillis, tucker, and james smith.. to know that he was never unbeatable and certainly wouldn't of beaten any heavyweight ever.. In fact, If you had a time machine and put the top 10 greatest heavyweights of all time, all at their prime, and put them against a prime Mike Tyson, Mike would do well to even beat 50% of them. I'm talking about a prime Ali, Prime foreman, prime holmes, Prime Lewis, Prime Holyfeild, Prime Liston etc.. a far cry from trevor berbick and the rest of the usual suspects mike was fighting late 80's. Quite frankly, I don't even know if Mike could've ever even beaten a fully fit, fully focused james douglas.. and douglas isn't even an all time great.

Ali went through way worst outside of boxing. He still beat Frazier and foreman in that time period. Tyson isnt that quality of man.

[@ashleyjones8597]

@Matt ? Even Tyson said a prime Ali would beat him, no contest. So stop fanboying. Unless you wanna try to say you know more then the man himself.

I've always known of Mike Tyson but have never been informed about his career as a whole. This is one of the many reasons that I love this channel, you see some really good footage as well as learn about the history of the Sweet Science, which is just amazing. I hope that your channel gets more attention because your content is quality and very informative.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

Even though I am also a Brooklynite like Mike, and having seen all of the greats from Clay/Ali and on, I can honestly say that NO ONE brought the fear into men like Mike Tyson did in his prime. At one point Foreman was close but Tyson had these grown men, tough, professional boxers in fear while in his prime and for some time thereafter. The example that really jumped out at the time was against Spinks, even the TV commentators talked about it as Spinks entered the ring. He was flat out scared of Tyson and made a quick exit like so many others. Buster Douglas beat Tyson when Mike had already shown some slipping up by firing Kevin Rooney and hiring some yes men. Douglas' mother had recently passed away and he was emotionally fired up while Tyson didn't take the fight seriously at all. He hardly even trained for that fight and it showed. Tyson had become too reliant on his power and had already begun walking into people to "beat them up". This would not have happened if he kept Rooney and the corner guys that had been with him since he was literally a kid. Once Tyson lost to Douglas it was the beginning of the end. Prison, Don King and the embarrassment of his marriage to Robin Givens destroyed a man that many people felt might be an undefeated heavyweight champ, like Rocky Marciano. Seeing clips of fights now does not really tell the story of Mike Tyson and just how truly dominating he was. Anything or anyone Don King touches gets destroyed. Once Tyson left Rooney he was never the same boxer/fighter. As the saying goes........."the worst thing in life is wasted talent".

[@dannyburch2122]

Bullshit...Tyson had no hart ask Holyfeild. Bah Bah post prison in both there primes Holyfeild evey time.

[@jtaco4101]

He still loses to holyfield and Lennox regardless. Heavyweight division super weak in the mid 80s.

[@jakemcclintock8696]

And you saw what Ali did to Sonny Liston AND George Foreman, both powerful punchers. Frazier gave him a run for the money and he couldn't take out Norton, but he was by far the best all around fighter I ever saw. His fights were free to watch on Wide World of Sports, aired the Sunday after each one of them. I think Tyson made a mistake in not arranging something similar so we could all see how good he was. A fight between Ali at his best and Tyson at his would be a show for the ages, the best boxer ("float like a butterfly and sting like a bee") vs. the fastest and most powerful flatfooted puncher we've yet seen. Note how both of them were/are intelligent, well spoken men as well as superb athletes.

[@richardvacanti4265]

Danny Burch no way. If Tyson fights Evander Holyfield in his prime before all the bullshit. Tyson would have destroyed Holyfield just like all the rust. Holyfield got Tyson on the downswing and you know it. But what’s done is done. And I will say Tyson was pretty cheap and biting Holyfield because he couldn’t beat him and he was just getting Super pissed off that he couldn’t hurt him so he bit him. But like I say I think if Tyson gets Holyfield in Tysons prime Tyson destroys him. That’s only my opinion not trying to start any stupid arguments.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Its amazing how different he looks in the first fight he changed trainers against Frank Bruno. Still thunderous power, but he’s throwing wildly and off-balance, just completely in bad positions. That was honestly the beginning of end for a short but memorable reign. It was just a matter of time before somebody made him pay.

[@paulanthony5274]

Oh,he was terrible against Bruno,but I don't think it was anything to do with his trainer,he just thought,big stiff Bruno I can do what I want,his next fight against Carl Williams he was back to his best,he was at his best against Douglas too but got totally out boxed,his cave man gorilla type frame means he only can fight one way,simple as that,over rated really,even quick tills beat him in my opinion,when he was with Kevin Rooney..

[@dezgaming8871]

[@lougaru2445]

Bruno hurt Tyson in that fight. I wish that clip was included. Firing Rooney was the beginning of the end. The Williams stoppage was early in my opinion.

[@mrkipling2201]

@@lougaru2445 he certainly did hurt him. It was a shame for Bruno that the bell went to end the first round almost straight after he’d hurt him. Bruno was an awesome fighter at his peak, his problem was running out of gas and not holding on when he should have.

Buster Douglas performance was incredible. At the time I was 21, working as a labourer in Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. Not the best of times! However, I will never forget the news coming across on the wireless. Buster Douglas has knocked out Mike Tyson. We couldn’t believe it. It was seismic, it really was. My father at the time said, “well we never thought Sonny Liston could be beat”, “guess what it can and will happen to anyone”. I still found it hard to believe. It’s interesting watching this video, Tyson simply didn’t look right against Buster Douglas. That being said, Buster was the first man to really take it to Tyson, and was the first man not to look scared. Buster would have beaten any fighter in history that night, he was that good. Thankfully I’m no longer working as a labourer, in Merthyr or anywhere else for that matter. Rummy thank you for this wonderful film. Really is of the highest quality. You deserve to be hired by one of the networks. Good one you.

[@nicklasandersson5606]

Yeah sure,thats why they rate Buster so high in boxing history.Buster was a bum from hes first fight and all the way to hes last.Tyson wasnt ever even close to beat a great fighter.nut sure that match was exiting i agree on that.

[@Justin-sc3uv]

Union Laborers in the states make a good wage and are generally very proud to do so. Joe Smith Jr. was a Union guy out of a Long Island local when he knocked Bernard Hopkins out of the ring in fact. I love hearing how the boxing news shock the world , cool insight from Wales. How is Joe Calzage viewed there? Cheers to you as you say on that side of the pond.

I was working not far, clearing Ten miles of woodland for the new Glyneath to Aberddulais bypass. Fight in Japan odds 50/1 Douglas Win, Douglas mother had just past away, fight in Japan, Douglas after a long count was unstoppable.

[@justinclayton1573]

I hate the stupid myth and notion that Buster "was the first fighter to not be scared". Its just simply not true. Was Mitch Green scared? Was James Tillis scared? Was Steve Zouski scared? Jose Ribalta didn't look scared to me. I can name 10 more. It's simply a stupid claim to pretend that Tyson fought nothing but 30 something fighters were all scared. Pro fighters fight for a living,they aren't scared. Did Tyson beat a lot of guys psychologically before a punch was even thrown? Sure. But to suggest everyone he ever fought was just scared and that's why they all lost is disrespectful to the superhuman abilities of Mike Tyson,and also disrespectful to all the fighters who gave it 110% but came up short.

Yep, I think if Cus lived 10 years longer or in an alternate reality Cus was born 10 years earlier, Tyson could have gone down as a top 3 fighter ever. Certainly a top 3 heavyweight ever. Maybe the best ever if he had Cus to reality check him and that leech King never got his paws on him. That likely leads to him never going to prison, staying devoted to his training, the Douglas loss never happens, Desoray Williams and her mother never steal him money so he retires at the top. The years he spent in prison are instead spent defending his belts and he retires in the mid 90’s undefeated. It’s crazy how one event in persons life can have a domino effect and completely change their future. I honestly don’t think anyone could have beat Tyson in his early 20’s if he stayed with Rooney and had Cus by his side. Prime for Prime the only guy I give a chance to is prime Ali. In his prime he had the movement and the iron chin to possibly pull off a decision against prime Tyson. As far as dream matchups from different era’s that’s the one I think would have been most interesting. Close second would be prime Tyson vs prime Liston but I think Mike’s speed would have been too much for Liston. Anyway, great career breakdown Rummy. Good to see Tyson doing better now, I just hope he stays out of the ring and doesn’t do some stupid cash grab fight against Jake Paul or something
