When Mike Tyson Returned and Showed Who is King

The event was the return of the world’s biggest boxing star, Mike Tyson to the ring. After serving three years in prison, Tyson was released on parole on March 25, 1995; shortly before that, on March 2, he held a short press conference at which he announced his return to boxing...

When I saw this event as a teenager, I saw McNeeley as a clown. Now, I see him as a man. He promoted the fight like crazy, leaned into his role, showed no fear, and gave everyone the spectacle they wanted. He did his job.

[@TechnoLawyer]

McNeely literally rushed Tyson at the bell, trying to overwhelm him and beat him at his own game. When he was knocked down, he got up, did it again. A bit clownish, maybe, but damn if he didn’t show insane courage and give the crowd a show. Zero hate. Absolute respect for that.

[@milojanis4901]

[@dylanburston7453]

@@TechnoLawyer He was a clown. He was a lie, with a bloated record of literal binmen and firefighters, so his managers could feed him to tyson and cash out. The tradegey was, he seemed to beleive the lie.

[@TechnoLawyer]

@@dylanburston7453 He couldn’t have. Even Larry Holmes didn’t think he could win when he fought Tyson and did so for the payday - and Larry Holmes on his worst day would have still destroyed McNeely. McNeely was offered up for the big payday, understood he was there to get clobbered, and decided to make a show out of it. That’s why his corner was so quick to stop it once he started getting hurt for real - I’m sure they knew his plan to rush at the bell and had an agreement to jump in to save him the moment he looked to be getting hurt for real. And he did make a show out of it. Rushing Mike in his prime was the closest thing to suicide as there was in boxing. And McNeely did it. Twice in a row. I’ll respect his lunatic bravery.

[@dylanburston7453]

@@TechnoLawyer Doesnt change the fact that mcneely was faker than my abbibas trainers. What pisses me off the most is that it meant mike was "eligible" for the WBC title shot over lennox lewis. So you had one man who took 17 rounds and a dodgy stoppage to get rid of ruddock, a 3 year lay off, then beats a nobody. v a guy who beat ruddock in 4 minuites, and had just beaten ray mercer and tommy morrison. So mike got the title shot, then ducked lewis twice by paying 4 mil then vaccating, then lost to evander twice. its a joke of a fight that should be taken as seriously as a tyson fury promise

[@HannibalDCrow]

If Tyson would have taken care of himself and trained and lived a life of surrounding himself with people who really cared about him like Cus did, he would have been unstoppable for a long long time. And totally stay away from Don King. When Buster Douglas stopped Tyson, Don King stepped over Tyson to get in Douglas' ear. Losing Cus was the glue that held Tyson together. I think there is only one man in history that could have handled Tyson in the ring when Tyson was in his prime and Cus was still alive. That was Ali in his prime.

[@AlanSmitheeman]

Foreman in his prime, too.

[@travzimmerman1340]

Hey Tyson fangirls, enough with the nonsensical excuses. Mike is criminally overrated. He ruled one of the worst eras in HW history, the mid to late 80s. He was taken the distance "in his prime" by Tillis Tucker Smith and Green. He was obliterated at the age of 23 but Douglas. His 2 most noteable wins are against a blown up LHW and Grandpa Holmes. He avoided everyone, outside of Evander, in the 90s and he only took the Holyfield fight after witnessing how bacl Evander looked in the Czyz fight. He paid Lewis $4,000,000 step-aside money and vacated a belt to not fight him. Had Tyson's career started in '90 instead of '95 we wouldnt even be talking about him.

[@biggusdickus2312]

@@travzimmerman1340sorry what do you mean had his career started in 90 instead of 95… I’m guessing you mean 85. You don’t have to be a boxing expert to notice after he ditched his training team and joined Don king his movement changed. just before his fight that was his first loss the interviewers were asking him why hasn’t he been training and seen out partying the nights away and very cocky he said I don’t need to train and then he lost his fight. I know this sounds like an excuse for him but this is facts that even boxing legends have been heard saying that he wasn’t the same.

Tyson’s sportsmanship was unmatched. He hugged ever fighter after he whoop their ass until he met Holyfield and we all know how that went 👂

[@DavesRabbitHole]

McNeeley had a good team in his corner, they knew he was done. He gave it a good shot though, not sure any strategy would have worked any better, he may have lasted a few more rounds if he’d been more conservative but he’d have been stopped as soon as he’d opened up. Mike was probably in great shape so could have waited. I read somewhere in the comments that Mike looked him up years later and they met up and had a good time, that’s a classy move. Say what you like if you’re not Tyson fan but he almost always treated his opponent with respect, apart from maybe Mitch Green who was asking for trouble.
