When Cocky Fighters Got Destroyed and Humbled by Mike Tyson

When Cocky Fighters Got Destroyed and Humbled by Mike Tyson
As the saying goes, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” Mike Tyson is considered one of the most dangerous boxers of all time during his prime. The former undisputed world heavyweight champion dominated the ring for several years.
However, despite his fearsome reputation, some of his opponents didn’t consider him a threat before they got into the ring with him. Unfortunately, most of them learned the hard way and got destroyed by Mike Tyson.
In this video, we’ve compiled some of the best moments in Mike Tyson’s career when his cocky opponents got destroyed and humbled by the great “Iron Mike”.

Duckweaving is still the most impressive. Dude threw great shots and ate some good ones, but he walked up while dodging and then rocked dudes. That def is the skill of Tyson. he didn't need to be bigger, stronger, faster, or have more experience. He just ran his style and crushed.

Right. But he's Mike Tyson. One of the greatest of all time. It would be silly to think you would ever stand a chance. Dude's an animal, and was literally out for blood when he first started. That drive is what got him to where he got. Nobody could compete because of his overwhelming tenacity and strength

[@josephmonaco4503]

Exactly !!!

[@kboone122]

Truth 😢

[@angelic_disappointment7889]

How come he dodged an old Foreman if he was so great as you say that nobody compared?

[@Tazz431]

He was brutal. But that brutally and explosiveness came from his youth and upbringing. Unresolved anger and mental health issues can look just like this. It took him a long time to figure all that out. I'm glad he finally did, because if he did continue down that road it could have ended him altogether. But seeing him finally come into a better place in his life made all the difference for him. Good for him!

Mike will always be number one in my book the best of the best❤❤❤

[@FEJK82]

If anyone knows Tyson, let him know that A LOT of Marines hold him in high regard... We look at him as a man to be respected and admired. He is an ideal Operator, a model of dedication, and a TRUE PROFESSIONAL. Personally, I admire the man he is today far more than when he was the World Champion. I'd really like him to know how loved he still is. - Semper Fi

Phenomenal fighter. Glad i was around to watch him ❤much love Mr. Tyson

[@machine_daddy]

I don’t think he ever stopped being in his prime. He’s still in it today. He had a terrible thing happen in his life that got his mind, off-center, and then, what I believe to be a false accusation, sent him to prison. The guy will still hit you harder than a lightning bolt. He is the goat imo

[@sleevelessace]

Yup he is up there with Ali... idk how anyone would disagree with that, this man changed boxing

[@SiouxW4rrior3856]

you mean the king not goat

[@machine_daddy]

@@SiouxW4rrior3856 i’ll just say that he’s my favorite, and leave it at that. Everybody has their opinion on who the greatest is. Imo, it’s Mike. All together, Tyson had 24 first round knockouts. 12 of them in his professional career. I try to consider a boxer by how quickly they’re able to take out their opponent.

[@SiouxW4rrior3856]

[@andrewmckeown6786]

Man he was somethin to watch. I remember my uncle explaining that "No, these guys are the best in the world. Straight up killers" but Tyson looked like he was playing 3 levels below. Im Canadian so I dont know how to fight unless we're wearing jerseys but the way he moves, I cant even tell which punches land(if any) and which punches he slips...cuz it looks like he slips them all....just amazing. Thanks Mike

That left hook is so powerful it has a gyroscopic effect on Mike when his feet come right off the ground. And when it lands you can see the braincells dying, sickening power...

I'm not hearing a lot of cockiness from these guys but confidence which you must have as a boxer. If you go into a fight thinking you're going to lose then you will. You got to wonder how a fight between Tyson and Marciano would have ended. Now that would have been interesting. Both tough as nails and both having a punch that could put anyone done.
