Amazing Mike Tyson Interview

[@MuhammadAli-Lateef]

Tyson is a smart person......much smarter than people give him credit for.

[@Crates94]

nah he always got the credit for being smart.. well not always, but since retirement yeah.

[@thekendredspirit5771]

I agree with you. I don’t know if it’s the lisp, but I’ve noticed if a person has a speech impediment, people assume they lack intelligence. He’s a highly intelligent man.

[@jakubwrona2040]

Ronnie Coleman Yes he is, but I don't think that he makes good use of it. That's very important.

[@keysvandros9153]

Ronnie Coleman I agree. I love his mind so much. Also is amazes me how much different he is from the once violent high strung young man he was. Just shows he aways was this man, but it was eclipsed from his ego & ambitions. Now he is so chill & himself. My favorite person ever. I would rather chat it up with Tyson than Pres Obama any day. The fact that be can share his weaknesses & faults is just awesome to me & shows more character than someone like Kayne West a person I also love, but rather speaks about his triumphs, accomplishments & talents instead.

[@keysvandros9153]

He does. He is a living testament, testimony more. Can't speak for how much people he reached to as strong as me. But imapcts me for the better everytime I watch him speak. You have a bigger imapct on people by sharing your weaknesses & defeats far more than you sharing your strengths & accomplishments and that is as honest as I can be from what I learned from people like him.

tyson's whole life is high art. what a rich existence, he is a legend.

[@Miadolph]

+Sammy what the hell are you talking about??? You know nothing about Desiree Washington, nothing! I happen to have intimate knowledge of that case and he did in fact rape her. I bet you were unaware that the Tyson camp offered her on multiple occasions lots of money to drop the charges. After the trial and subsequent conviction Ms. Washington never even sued him civilly. You see it was never about money, she just wanted the man who raped her to be held accountable. Nobody, and I mean nobody deserves to be raped. Shame on you

He doesn't get credit for it, but Mike is a philosopher. He is like Bruce Lee with a lisp. A fighter with so much insight and wisdom.

Cus was literally his father & guardian angel & his literal guardian!!!!

But pure science in boxing?...I will take floyd MAYWEATHERs career ahead of tysons...and I love tyson waaaaaaaay better than any boxer...the man tyson..I can relate easily to him aswell

[@nickn.5894]

What about Chavez?

[@belliose]

Not! There were many who were greater at boxing than Mike. His boxing skills were pathetic. Greatest Heavyweight FIGHTER? No. The Greatest = Ali. Ali could beat Tyson. Liston, Foreman, Frazier, Shavers, etc., could not knock him out and he beat every single one of them. Only Frazier knocked him down! Roberto Duran was a far better boxer than Tyson.

[@ZikiloFN]

@ladyondemove Ali is not the greatest lol sorry, Sugar Ray Robinson and Joe Lewis both better

[@rowlandmapoma9881]

Uchenna Alisigwe, of course that’s your opinion 🤷‍♂️ But truth remains.... he is the the greatest in the ring. Mike matches none. The rest (even recent) are just like amateurs fighting other to find the winner 🤣🤣

I love you Mike you should never hate yourself bc everything you went through was to show us kids that had a hard life and that have made some horrible mistakes that we can be forgiven and get redemption as well. Your living did not go in vain. You were chosen Mike and you are the best, smartest, and fastest fighter I have ever seen in my book and my kids will know about you.

[@MusicforMe123]

This is my favorite Mike Tyson interview, the fact that he turned the interviewer from a teacher to a student as the interview progressed is amazing to watch. The level of respect the interviewer had for Mike from start to finish is awe-inspiring, you can clearly see the sequence of events of a man with a 9th grade level of education talking to a professor who taught at Princeton University with countless accolades and at the end of the interview the professor is the one who felt inferior and wanted more. Mike is a special human being, he has reached a level of greatness that only a few can achieve but yet humble in his approach. His insight and wisdom go beyond his achievements in the ring, the stories at every turn helps us to apply them to our lives so that we do not make the same mistakes. A fantastic interview from beginning to end which is validated by a standing ovation.

Underdog???

[@arturama8581]

@@erikarmstrong1831 Yes, underdog. Despite being undisputed WC, he still was an underdog. Every guy he met in the ring thought he could take MT down with ease, cause they were taller, heavier, had more reach, were smarter than Mike. Mike was quite small compared to most other heavy weights. He always had to fight 'in'. Mike always felt scared. Scared to be beat. To be in oblivion again. To not matter. Never forget, aggression is only a way to express fear. When do you get the most aggression? When someone fights for his life. When he's filled with the fear of death. Mike fought every fight with the strongest fear of being defeated. That's what made him the most aggressive boxer man has ever known. Ali was an artist, Mike was - as he calls it himself - ferrocious. Out of fear of becoming unsignificant again. So, yes, underdog.

[@naughtyminx65]

When he talks about his childhood my heart bleeds for him but the thing is is he is not wanting that from us..he is just telling it how it was ..he doesn't want pity but i feel myself giving him that.I think this book is more for himself than for any of us ..its been his salvation, his trials and tribulations, his weakness and his strengths,the rights and wrongs he's done in his life ..a healing process.....

[@rw19901]

Very well put. I have his book and as I was turning each page I just got the feeling of "He needed to write this down to release it all from his system" You are totally right though, he doesn't want pity or sympathy, he just wants to be recognised as a man who accepts he has done wrong but is doing everything in his power to make it right. I don't think he realises himself just how brave and mentally strong he is now. A true true human champion in my opinion.

[@ricardomaccotta6367]

Yup, same here, i always admired Tyson, first for his boxing, i am about his age, so i am witness of his rise and demise, saw many interviews of him, so, after his most turbulent period (my believe is that he was scam with his rapist accusation, and seen who was she, I have little doubt about it) .. and bla,bla But after seeing this interview, i soon gonna buy that book. I also have a complicated past, as Mike will put, so is gonna be interesting, looking for it and full admiration for Tyson, for the calm person he has become in the last 20 years or so

Watching clips of Mike Tyson's is a true gift for me. Born into an imperfect life. In his prime he was a gladiator and conqueror that will be heralded through the ages. Molded by his teacher: Cus D'amato a philosopher of war. Wherever Mike stared hungrily blood froze in veins. Ferocity and malice unparalleled. Fast forward. 10 life times worth of pain later, and Mike Tyson has some of the most profound and unique outlooks I have ever had the privilege to hear. He is blunt with eloquence -his piercing self analysis knows no airs or graces. Mike Tyson is his own psychologist. He is a historian. He is an inspiration- and a unique insight into the human condition. Thank you for uploading. This is special.
