Mike please do not give up brother, you are an inspiration to many.

[@WHITE888-]

Hes a living legend. One of the true greats.

[@victorcristianilinca1319]

Mike is hard as a rock a true warrior but after that accident realise that how badass you are life can Fuck You to death and becouse of that you need to transcend in other dimesion Mike is a very smart man and have a big heart, Iron Mike Tyson a LEGEND Among Us !!! and for all of you that thinks Mike with Cus D’Aamato can’t beat Holyfield, Lewis, Douglas you are tripping out when you lose your motivation/support you are just an empthy shell !!! Only M_Ali can beat Mike but is a hard decision they are in the same spot...

[@victorcristianilinca1319]

We all are born naked and DIE well almoust naked and even in 2020 Mike “IRON” Tyson is the “badass man on the planet” !!! (ref to Deontay Wilder for those who do not understand the analogy)

Well when you have a rude inconsiderate reporter like this constantly bringing up negative moments in his life it makes it kind of hard.. this interviewer kept picking at Mike and almost got slept

Let me ask you this, what is "the best of him." Is it when he was champ? Now that he is a wise old man? Or is the best still yet to come? Something to think about my friend. Time changes everything

[@MrHibbs]

When he was an olympic medalist, of course now that he has exited the Matrix, and yes I think we are now going to see a new Iron Mike. Hopefully more martial art movies, and championing for the bullied. Time is a construct, the present is where we rest, and the stars our destination.

Its crazy to see how much Tyson evolved from the most vicious and ruthless champion in the world to a humble wise man that he is today. Such an inspiration to all.

[@tommypetersen2540]

Great point! He really has gone from this angry at everyone man to someone full of reflection. It's so obvious that he is now clean and sober. He still has moments, but it's about progress not perfection.

[@patrickparker8417]

Jordan Boccardo Yawn

[@jollu1]

he was alwsays a humble person, until he got taken advantage of and went to prison for a fake crime. then he came out very hostile towards people, now hes the same as he was early in his career

It's annoying to see so many interviewers constantly bringing up Mike's past and various mistakes he made like they're the ones to judge. Everyone is human and it's obvious he is trying to be the best that he can be now, which is very commendable and speaks for itself. Stay strong Mike.

May your next life be beautiful and this one peaceful and comfortable now.
