It was a combination of things actually. Two things can be true, givens was (in my opinion) dishonest, and I don’t THINK Tyson did what he was arrested for. However he also has his own issues, and did plenty of bad stuff (as he himself admitted). Don’t wash things away as if he was never an issue, because he’d be the first to tell you that he was and pretending otherwise diminishes his efforts to be a better person (which I believe he is today).

Something else I want to share. I was lucky enough to have a brief encounter with Tyson in August 1987. He was in Columbia, SC to watch the first Mark Breland/Marlon Starling fight. He had just beaten Tony Tucker and was preparing for Tyrell Biggs. At the time, his promoters were trying to arrange his fight with Michael Spinks (but Spinks was running scared). I was on the dance floor in a nightclub, and looked over and Mike Tyson was dancing right next to me! I tapped him on the upper arm and said, "Hey Mike!". I remember his arm was as solid as stone! He said, "Hey!". I said, "Kick Michael Spinks' ass for me!". He said, "Okay, I will!". It was surreal, because he was already one of my favorite boxers of all time. The most interesting thing is that he had a very small and unintimidating entourage. I guess he didn't really need big bodyguards! LOL! And on a funny note, he was NOT a good dancer! HAHAHA!!

[@ralphsanchico2452]

I met Tyson at a Cumberland Farms store in Coxsaki NY back in the mid 80’s while staffing at a church camp. I was with one of the younger campers picking up a few supplies. Although he was just an under card fighter, he was becoming very recognizable very fast. As I approached him (cautiously mind you) I asked politely: “Sir, are you Mike Tyson”? To which he replied in a soft kind voice “YEAH”! I didn’t want to disturb him while he was flipping through this comic book, so I just briefly rendered an accolade towards his fighting skills and meekly asked for his autograph which surprisingly he was very accommodating. After he signed we shook hands and I wished him the very best. It’s much better to receive and open hand and not a closed one from Tyson. As for the autograph, well! If I showed it to anyone I doubt that they would believe me since it was pretty ineligible. So I gave it to the young camper with me making this camping trip for him (and myself memorable one!)

We roamed the streets at different times though. Same with Jay Z there were Marcy Projects directly across the street from our apartment Jay Z came from those projects. I roamed those streets in the late 60s , early 70s Then moved up to Catskill. The Brooklyn neighborhood went from middle class to Slums to what it is now Yuppyville.

Ordering ppv back in the day at school meant it was a crowd funding event at our frat house. Biggest complaint, it was sometimes a few minute fight for the main card. Poor at school, it was significant. But those fights were incredible. The guy was unbelievable. I mean you can argue many points about tyson and his career. But the guy was so fast, with a ton of power behind it. He is always in the talks of best of all time. I objectively don't necessarily think that to be true, but he will always be there.

Guy scared the hell out of everyone, so you knew it was going to be a helluva big draw.

When I was young I met Mike on a plane ride to either steamboat springs/ Vail Colorado are or Jackson hole Wyoming I'm not sure I was too young to remember which one but he had a leather duster with a matching hat and my dad was the same age and a huge Tyson fan. He sat right next to us on the plane and talked to my dad the whole flight.. Good man.

Tyson is one year older than myself. Me and my freinds watched each and every Tyson fight. I won some serious moolah too. Big bank in his early career and decent later on. After he'd eviscerated so many top fighters it was difficult to win a lot unless the bet was by KO in a specific round, after the 2nd round. But still possible to match your bet + a few extra shillings. 😁

[@JamVee]

The ironic thing about Mike Tyson's fights was that, with few exceptions, he would go back and check on his beaten opponents to see if they were OK! I always found that to be out of character, considering how badly he had beaten then up!

[@presence5426]

I followed Tyson's career beginning when he was on ESPN. I was impressed, but there were questions about his chin, stamina, and ability to win decisions. After he destroyed a game Trevor Berbick, Tyson Mania went into full motion. Everybody was talking about that win. That was the moment that made Tyson a household name.

[@thomasarnold5838]

I like the ppl Mike Tyson respects and loves so I'm good with him. What a badass!!

[@judyhuckaby7567]

Tyson will always be my favorite fighter, I love a few of the old classic heavyweights, Mike took it to another level though ❤

[@mistergoodcitizen9914]

Mike truly turned out to be a fantastic human being and a great role model.

[@guntrader5652]

I love Mike Tyson. I saw the bite fight live summer 97. I left a friends graduation party early to get home to see the fight live. I was hoping for a win. It is what it is. Mikes doing great these days & that’s all that matters

[@Kick_Rocks_]

By far Tyson was the baddest man on the planet.

[@singledijjiti.q.2294]

"Tyson looked like he was ready to kill someone " 😂😂😂 He always looked like that.

[@johncifizzari3107]

Love Mike! So glad to see him beat tf out of his demons! His greatest fight ever

[@terrychambers6726]

Mike Tyson was a wrecking ball in the ring. Opponents were shaking in their boots. Wishing they were anywhere but there. By far the greatest with no equal today or tomorrow.

[@Burningrobes]

His greatest fight is yet to come. I'm going to enjoy watching him wipe the floor with Jake Paul later this year, exhibitian or not. About time someone shut that guy up.

[@kingssing]

Mike the best

[@jeffi854]

Ole Mike was absolutely the greatest boxer to ever enter the ring , probably the greatest of all time. Boxers used to say getting punched Mike was like getting kicked by a mule.

[@GetMoGaming]

Ruddock looked *ANGRY* when he "slipped", but strangely *HAPPY* on the legit knockdown! That's a real fighter. (9:18 & 9:36)

[@mastergreen8492]

Mikes Da Man👈🏾👊🏾 A Real Manz Kinda Guy💪🏾👑

[@making_the_cut1032]

Mike Tyson is my favorite human being 👊🏼

[@matiasezequiellorenzo8145]

The best ever 🥊🏆

[@HeadFin]

That's what friends and fans are for.

[@rashadmuhammad3589]

You have to respect what Mike Tyson did for the sport of boxing, what happened in his private life shouldn't matter when it comes to the sport... Youngest Heavyweight in HISTORY, can't be denied ! #BestOfThatEra!

[@tcruts]

Tyson in his prime, vs anyone else in their prime, Tyson goes undefeated.

[@pipelinepartychief99]

Mike Tyson..... I've always respected you. And think you are a true American an icon.

[@1313torch]

Can’t deny that when Iron Mike left the ring boxing was forgotten and eventually overshadowed by UFC.

[@jaycole5353]

To me , Mike is the all time Greatest of His and my Generation ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻.

[@driftwood5551]

I wish Mike would’ve stayed humble like he was at the beginning of his career

[@renidesousa]

MIKE TYSON gave a whole new meaning to Boxing!

[@rburrows7786]

Tyson in his prime was the greatest. I like how all of these perfect people criticize him. You never made mistakes? You never had problems? You never did dumb shit when you were young? Must be nice to be perfect.

[@sillykicker0877]

I loved watching Mile fight even when he bit off the ear

[@amalbenson8699]

The greatest ever mike tyson

[@duanecrockett4086]

Mike was a mentor to me as far as determination the word stuck out with Tyson ! I loved watching Mike fight !

[@zachellis3751]

Savage man. Absolutely Savage

[@heavyhitter3185]

Tyson Is The Epitome Of A Boxing Champion 🏆

[@heavenlyxtacy]

It was late 80s when I was a kid and my uncle had a poster of Mike Tyson in his room, I asked him who he was and that was the first time I ever heard about a sport called boxing and Mike Tyson, he was the first boxer I knew.

[@Damyankee1989]

Mike Tyson may not be the best boxer ever but you can't dent he was the most entertaining to watch fight.

[@HeadFin]

Can never say anyone is better. Only thing that gets me.

[@armandomejiatakara818]

In my humble opinion, Tyson's greatest moments and perhaps greatest contributions to society have come AFTER his final fight. As much as I despised the man for his viciousness, there was always a heart of gold... but you had to dig for it.

[@Zayas897]

I would absolutely love to see a documentary on mike # all time’s greatest Iron Mike
