Roots of Iron: Where Cus Built the Baddest Man on the Planet | BEHIND THE MIKE

[@DJ.Decibellz]

Seeing a living Legend without bodyguards speaks volumes Forever CHAMP !

[@ayogtfo]

This nigga is his own bodyguard lol

[@marklanahan7289]

True. We all love the guy. Considering where he came from and injustices he's been through, he became the man he is. He's an example to us all.

Mike said Floyd Mayweather ain't great because he needs security and bodyguards everywhere he goes.

[@keyser021]

@@kevinfields7500 Floyd sleeps on beds of cash but needs 5 dudes three times his size just to get into his car. Mikey walks through the projects alone in LV jacket and pays respect to Cus. Floyd played for $, Mikey played for respect, in the end, Mikey got both.

Plot twist..... he is the bodyguard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Rebourn365]

Didn't grow up watching his fights, but the early 2000s I began seeing videos of how wise this man was. That's why I became a fan and continue to do so. His wisdom has taught me so much about myself. That's what makes this man a legend. He's transcended the sport.

[@ronald.random]

I believe Mike’s wisdom was learned from Cus.

I met mike tyson when he came to Brisbane Australia about 8 years ago for a meet and greet. I proudly shook his hand and met my childhood hero. The best day of my life and forever grateful. Thankyou mike 🙏🏻🇦🇺

“Boxing is a sport of self-control. You must understand fear so you can manipulate it. Fear is like fire. You can make it work for you: it can warm you in the winter, cook your food when you’re hungry, give you light when you are in the dark, and produce energy. Let it go out of control and it can hurt you, even kill you….Fear is a friend of exceptional people.”

[@jamesberryiii]

Funny you say that.. but I don’t agree.. on a Spiritual scale… ✨👑God showed me in the spirit demons carry fear on them as a flame 🔥 carries heat.. so that fear you talk about demons carry and punks use to intimidate… fear is a friend to know body but The devil, demons, evil spirits and humans who are possessed by such. 2 Timothy 1:7 For 👑God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of (((POWER))) Love, and a SOUND MIND!!

[@DBCHeavyweightBoxing]

He struck fear into his opponents. Not many boxers do that, really strike fear, paralyse their opponent.

[@christianvazquez3219]

Mike was a absolute monster in his prime he was unbeatable!

[@CraigMansfield]

Was mighty Mike for a short while

[@Calvinmob681]

I learned how to fight big guys from Mike.

[@DBCHeavyweightBoxing]

@@Calvinmob681 Yup, Mike neutralised the size advantage other boxers had over him, and by getting in close turned it into his advantage.

[@bnygma28]

This one gave me chills. Seeing Mike back home in NY, visiting Cus and the Catskills gym.. I hope this nostalgic moment for Mike puts him in God of War mode to ko the younger Paul sister.

You can see how much joy it brings him to be back in his hometown and in the gym, he started in... Thank you Champ & Co for putting up such great content!

I was 14 when you won the title Mike , i had been boxing for one year , and you were a big inspiration to me at that time , unfortunately , i was on the streets by 15 and after a serious car crash i couldn't box anymore and consequently went off the rails until i was 26 . I've not been in any trouble since , like you , i was a victim of circumstance , although the errors i made that set me back i claim as my own and thankfully lessons were learned . Blessings to you and yours , fella 👊

[@Pier_Hamet]

Awesome to see a man who's glory days don't have to end. He made his history. And I like the way he enjoys life now. I'm sure people will still talk about him in the year 2124. The video where he moves his feet in front of Ali is unbelievable. Beautiful sight. 💪👍👍
