I'll never forget watching Tyson's fights for two reasons, one was simply how incredibly good he was, and the second was how pissed off he made us all because back then his fights were all "pay-per-view" and were expensive to watch, so we would always get a big group of friends together to pitch in and would put together a BBQ party for the fight, and then it would be over in like a minute! If you blinked you missed the whole thing!

Came to say the same thing. I remember inviting my dad over because boxing was always our thing.

My friend and I had breakfast the day before the fight at the table next to him and a couple of his trainers at the Hilton hotel in Vegas and we spent a few minutes talking to him. Mike was a busy guy and could have brushed us off but Mike understood that those couple of minuets meant the world to us. Mike was a class act to me and my friend and they even payed for our breakfast. I also attended the fight in Atlantic City when he went up against Michael Spinks. What an amazing fighter he was and I will never forget the few minuets of his life he spent talking to us.

It wasn't Mikes fault, he was a kid with way too much money and no mentors to keep him on the straight and narrow. Mike Tyson has grown tremendously in recent years and now realizes exactly who he was then and what happened to him and where he went wrong. I believe he's training boxers now.

Mike Tyson is my favorite heavyweight of all time. From 85-89 he was undefeated with a record of 37-0 and became the youngest heavyweight champion ever, unifying all 3 belts. He took down much bigger men some as large as 6’6” tall, nobody could beat Iron Mike in his prime. Sadly when his trainer Kevin Rooney left in 1988, he wasn’t the same fighter as years moved on thanks to Don King… Mike had a lot of bad people in his life starting in 88/89 and he was partying and not training the same anymore leading up to him losing to Buster Douglas in 1990. 1990 and on Mike Tyson was a different, slower fighter just relying on his power. Prime Mike in 85-88 with Kevin Rooney in his corner was elusive, fast, and devastating and I would bet money on that version of Mike Tyson beating any other heavyweight boxer in history.

I think you would really enjoy watching the story of Lawrence Taylor arguably the best linebacker ever in American football. It’s a really wild one. And I wouldn’t let the kids as much as I love them too, watching it. He literally changed how football had to be played.

[@Do0msday]

LT was the best defensive player of all time -- not just linebacker. Teams had to game plan specifically for him because he could singlehandedly wreck an opposing QB. Phenomenal player.

[@Onetwothreepeanuts]

LT you could argue was the greatest NFL player period. If you read the book 'The Blindside' it's really about LT more than Michael Oher.

[@tyronevaldez-kruger5313]

I wouldn't let kids watch the other defensive player who broke fingers and sent a team mate into a coma. Forgot the name of the mad bro

[@MrJeddYoung]

Thanks for posting this video - was enjoyable watching you both. As Tyson has aged, he has tried to be a better person - improve his character. Some of the most interesting interviews with him are the recent ones, where he reflects back on his life. I always thought his autobiography should be called something like: "Somewhere between Heaven and Hell." He has had one roller coaster of a life. Very interesting guy. I hope you continue to watch videos of him. Thanks for posting this one.

[@jodysin7]

The first video when he was wearing white shorts were actually early 80's, i think 83-84.

[@IrishSwissWristwatch]

When Tyson came out to fight Spinks, he didn’t have music, just the sounds of howling wind and rattling chains. You’ll notice instead of a wearing a robe, Tyson entered the arena dressed to fight in his shorts. Before the fight, he had been beating the wall of his locker room because he new Spinks was on the other side and could hear the power of Tyson’s punches. That fight was over before it began.

[@hankschrader7050]

I think that 20 year old Mike Tyson might be the most physically formidable human that ever lived. Almost all people were smaller, weaker, and malnourished before a century ago so it's reasonable to suspect that he literally holds that title.

[@randyrobey5643]

Mike Tyson was actually very small for a heavyweight. He was 5' 11" tall, and weighed 218 to 220 pounds. Compared to the heavyweights of today, he was tiny. However, as everyone who watched Tyson could see, he was a concussive puncher. Ali was 6' 3" and 212 to 220 pounds. Ali was a large fighter for his era.

[@fredbailey363]

Ali would've been knocked out by Tyson's power...

[@Kwame-cv4xi]

A much slower Ali still beat Prime George and as much As Tyson was good I don't see Him defeating Prime George

[@KevinPerry12]

How is it not suitable for kids? For kids to know about Mike Tyson and to be educated on how he grew up and how tough it was for a person like that to make it, I think it's a good thing to show anyone no matter the age.. one of the greatest icons of all time who overcame challenges and achieved greatness.

[@jherman8079]

You have to consider. They go into the video blind. So they were probably thinking the the actually fights would be to brutal for the kids to handle.

[@michellenainkristinabusch1221]

It a parents call based on what they think their kids can mentally handle. When I was their kids' ages,I wasn't allowed to watch the fights. It was for adults. But, When I was old enough, more in my teens, I watched replays and such of Tyson fights.

[@ian6551]

I loved the comment "How is his face still looking like a face?"😂😂😂

[@nigelgunson1025]

He said he started losing because he lost the killer instinct. I believe him.

[@worstcaseofcrabsever5510]

Tyson was known for overwhelming his opponents right from the bell. His amazing "Peek-A-Boo" style of boxing was simultaneously on offense and defense. The technique was developed decades before in the 1950s by World Champion boxer Floyd Patterson and his coach Custer "Cus" D'Amato. Thirty years later in the twilight of his life, D'Amato trained Tyson and gifted Tyson with the knowledge of the fighting style. Coach/Dad Cus D'Amato had hundreds of hard to find tapes(well before internet of coarse) of old-school high level boxers that Tyson would use to study endlessly. As a result, young Micheal would grow to idolize several of these champions-of-old, but perhaps none more than the Iconic 1919 Champion Jack Dempsey. Tyson wanted to be like Dempsey. This is the reason young Mike wore black shoes with no socks and black trunks, had his hair styled in a military "fade" style haircut and didn't wear robes or any flashy outfits on fight-night---exactly like the "Manassa Mauler", Jack Dempsey. Mike even mimicked Dempsey's boxing style and demeaner as Dempsey would ferociously attack from the bell and try to smother and intimidate his opponents right off. Dempsey would turn his hips and use his legs to twist into the punches effectively using all his bodyweight to generate maximum force to smash his opponent's faces-Tyson did exactly THIS as well. Mike Tyson's Rape case has come under high suspicion in the more recent years since. A large percentage of the public now believes he is innocent and was wrongly convicted, a theory that has a lot of supporting evidence although at the time of his trial most thought him guilty and didn't bother to question the narrative they were being fed. Some even think he was set-up by powerful rich elites who lorded over boxing and needed him gone to re-ignite receding interest in the sport and regain limited control of who wins and loses and who fights who. The woman in question had previously accused other prominent men of sexual assault in the recent past-- a massive detail that was not mentioned in the courtroom at the time of his trial.

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

I remember watching close to ALL his fights. The man was unbelievable and a force to be reckoned with! You also should check out Holyfield, Geroge Formen, and many more!

[@szacktones]

Watching him in his prime was so crazy. He would destroy everyone.

[@jimnickell]

Indeed. I was at NTC (National Training Center) when he fought Buster Douglas. Since we were out in the field, we heard through the grapevine that Tyson had lost. Every one of us thought it was a BS practical joke until we returned to the rear a couple of weeks later. There are few sports results that are as shocking as that. Having never watched that fight, I didn't realize the extended 10 count that ultimately gave Douglas another chance. Oh, and screw Don King.

[@danwillan-vasey1984]

Everyone? Apart from any elite fighter he ever fought. Massively overrated Tyson. Who did he ever beat? When it got tough he quit

In real life Mike Tyson is hilarious one of the funniest Guys you'll ever meet.

[@jefflake1581]

I remember when Tyson almost ruined PPV fights because no one wanted to pay for a 30s KO

[@aubs2256]

I grew up in Louisville, home of the great Ali, and Tyson is hands down my favorite boxer. Tyson is 1a and Ali is 1b. I've watched Tyson from the beginning to now. To see his growth as a human is amazing. His story is one to definitely look in to.

[@timothyrenar5498]

There is a difference between a fighter boxing and a boxer boxing and Tyson was a fighter and basically unmatched in the ring during the mid eighties and late eighties. The hardest fight that Mike had to deal with was himself and he went through his own trials but he was able to come back from it and continue his life.

[@Brykk]

I watched every fight he had back in the day. I even watched his amateur fights on bootleg tapes i bought. When his fights were televised, most other things stopped. Everyone knew he was a legend in the making. He was the master of brutal artistry. He was a true force of nature, and everyone saw it. Unfortunately, he met robin givens and he started a downhill slide. Her and her mother ruined mike tysons whole run on the sport. Btw, when mike fought larry holmes, it was due to a promise mike made to muhammad ali to aveng his loss to holmes years earlier. Thats why it looked like mike was trying to punish him, because he truly was punishing him in ali’s name.

[@John_Redcorn_]

Gold-digging women have been the downfall of many a great men. All throughout history

[@orangecrush5862]

Mike has grown into a thoughtful, more mature, good person! The best ever!

[@Steve-hq4fm]

14:00 - That guy is a tank, that was literally the first time he's ever been knocked down in his entire career!!

[@Nonnormalnorm]

I have great memories of Tysons fights. They were family gatherings. Always on Saturday nights, the whole family would come over, we would bbq, tell stories and then at about 9pm we would watch Tyson whoop ass!

[@ItsBorukoHyuga]

Mike Tyson uses mentality as his advantage and Muhammad used speed.

[@Yoloslides]

Leading up to the fight with Buster Douglas (the guy who finally ended his undefeated streak), Tyson wasn't training, was living the crazy nightlife and to top it all off, Buster Douglas had just lost his mother. So Tyson went in there SUPER unprepared, distracted and without the fire he always had, and Buster Douglas came in there hyperfocused, ready and supercharged emotionally. It was a recipe for (Tyson's) disaster Also, the guy you saw him beat later was not the same guy as you stated. It was a different fighter. After Buster Douglas beat Tyson, he lost his title in his very next fight to Holyfield. Douglas and Tyson never had a rematch.

[@blazerk.7189]

always a scroll of excuses...he wasn't that good.

[@ScottyM1959]

I grew up with both Mohammad Ali and Mike Tyson, and yes Tyson was a brutal fighter but he had no class. He was a street fighter and a thug but he grew out of it eventually. Ali, on the other hand was a true boxer, a man destin to be a champion not only in the ring but of the ring. He was boastful, taunting to his oppenents and deadly who wouldve never done what Tyson did to Holyfield. Ali was the consummate gentleman. He even became life long friends with one of his biggest critics, the legendary Howard Cosell, a sports announcer and reporter in the top 10 in field. No, Mike Tyson is not the better boxer or better man. With all that being said i did love watching Tyson fight although they never really lasted all that long lol.

[@stirling84]

Thank God somone said it. Ali is the goat. And to beat foreman the most powerful of all time who even Cus d'amato told tyson he would never put him in the ring with foreman. I love tysons knockouts and how quick and powerful he was but yeah I just hate them being compared

[@hypershadow87]

*He began to fall from grace in his life in general once he lost his wife. We men seem to always be most negatively affected once we've lost someone we love with every fiber of our hearts. Nothing hurts or crushes us more. Mike Tyson has grown A LOT since all of that though. He's become incredibly humble and wise now. He had a time where he became what some could call a bad person, but he's learned now and I consider him a good person now based on what I've extensively observed for years now. Either way, he'll always be a legend.*

@@JerryDavis-v7fit’s really Cus’ death that changed him, he lost everything when his father died

[@Kulanae]

IMO, Tyson v. Ali with both boxers in their prime, Ali would win 9 out of 10 times. Ali was great at fighting going backwards and slipping punches. Tyson's style depends on a lot of lateral movement which makes it hard to take multiple steps forward. Ali would just keep backing up using his superior footwork, reach, and conditioning to stay away from Tyson and chip away at him until the fight would be over.

[@treyturner9566]

Nah, Ali wins every single time.

[@Kulanae]

@@treyturner9566 Well I try to account for that Frazier effect. Mike has a nice left hook as well.

I watched Tyson lose to Douglas live I believe on HBO. Me and my friends looked at each other like Mars had just begun invading the earth. Don King was the second worse thing behind Cus dying. that could ever happen to Mike. Not to mention Robyn Givens being a dirtball gold digger, ripping his heart out. 19 year old Mike Tyson is the greatest boxer of all time.

Present day interviews of Mike Tyson show the redemption and wisdom he has gained over the years. As a young man he was not an example to follow but today he stacks up well against anyone as a family man with love, integrity and the vision of a sage.

[@joshuaangel1994]

I have been watching mike Tyson Since I was 7 years old he good for kids I grew up watching boxing and wrestling

[@profanepersonality]

People used to get mad because they paid a bunch of money for tickets, and Tyson would end the fight within 2 rounds often. 😂😂😂

[@georgehazard1986]

My father (and everyone's father of the era) has a story about paying for a Tyson fight and someone leaving the room for 15 seconds and missing the whole damn fight. That said, I've seen A LOT of "reaction" videos. A lot. Music, TV, boxing, television, all of it. This is by far the best example I've ever seen. You're actually watching. Not pausing the video every 17 seconds so you can blather on for 7 minutes only to rewind the damn thing so that it ends up taking 27 minutes to hear a 4 minute song. This is what it should be. So, I'm now subscribed for life.
