Yes, I could tell Michael you were hesitant at first to admit you too were a Trump supporter and in this climate I can’t really blame you and I appreciate that you did, that spoke volumes imo.
According to George Foreman Joe Louis was seldom off-balance, was actively aggressive, used proper punches, had the best ratio of power and technique for a heavyweight boxer, was the best at using combinations, and was the best at knocking people out. A combination of these attributes makes him the greatest heavyweight boxer. According to George Foreman Muhammad Ali was the greatest man who was a heavyweight boxer. Foreman says Floyd Mayweather constantly improves, and he also praises Mike Tyson as someone who could have been second greatest after Joe Louis if he had more control. I respect George Foreman's opinion because he is a boxing analyst, and for his ability to withstand wear and damage over the long haul. I am an outlaw who learned to fight in the streets, although I was also formally trained in boxing. I don't think that Joe Louis could be an outlaw and a heavyweight champion of the world for 12 years at the same time. I think most people would agree that World War II was not as pointless as the Vietnam War. Joe Louis's character traits that I respect is that he didn't brag or gloat and he didn't insult and respected his foes. He didn't have to be obnoxious, troll or lie, because he was a better boxer than Ali, Joe Frazier and George Foreman, so he didn't need to be a showman. As someone who is trying to improve his hand-to-hand combat skills, I am not interested in extravagant publicity. I am interested in actual ability. This is where Joe Louis delivers. I respect Ali for his backbone, activism and innovation. Bruce Lee was not the greatest martial artist. Muhammad Ali was not the greatest boxer. This doesn't diminish them as pioneers, on whose shoulders we stand as a new generation of innovators! But to learn to fight effectively we must turn to true professionals like Louis. daddy _
If you watch Mike and listen to him you realize what a genuine person he is. Man has been in struggles his whole life but has kept fighting and is in a great place now. Much respect to Iron Mike
The things that make Tyson so interesting and great: He's this street guy, who talks like one, and is tough and scary, but when you cut through that, he's very smart, self-aware, self-effacing, and he just lets his thoughts flow so honestly. Great, great, guy. And Franzese and Tyson are so great together.
And you can really see that the guy has a real heart of gold under there as well. He just can't stand people who aren't straight. Probably huge animal lover (animals are straight and honest, they don't play games with you) and for those who have really earned his trust, he does anything he can to help em with real problems. I love guys like that, they're a dying breed. though. And once again, Michael is does great job. He's such an intelligent likeable guy.
It’s hard for young people to appreciate the ups and downs of Tysons career. Up until his loss to buster Douglas, Tyson was literally on a pedestal higher than Michael Jordan. I was DEVASTATED after that fight..… I didn’t even wanna go to school that Monday… then, in the late 90s, he was probably the most hated person in sports. now he is once again one of the most well liked and respected person in sports again. Actually quite amazing. I’m glad he has come full circle back to a champion at life
@@onwardupward9392 Yes, Mike lost the hunger to be the best. It's hard to remain at the top without having intense passion for what you do. He seemed rather bored while entering the ring against James "Buster" Douglas. He even completely ignored a Joe Louis championship belt ceremony that the Japanese press were holding for him right before the fight was scheduled to begin. After all of these years, no one has ever asked Mike why he chose to do that, surprisingly enough! It likely came across as extremely disrespectful, so maybe he paid the price afterwards in that fight in a karmacal kind of way. Whatever the case, his opponent possessed the required hunger to be the best during that fateful fight. "Buster" bounced to the ring with plenty of life and purpose, he was on a mission, wanting to make his mother proud. The knockdown in the 8th Round definitely shook his confidence, as Douglas tended to give up when things did not go his way, despite not being noticeably damaged by Tyson's uppercut. He quickly pounded the canvas in disappointment, signalling that he was alert, rather than hurt. While Douglas stayed "flat on his ass" against Evander Holyfield in his next fight, Douglas forced himself to get up against Tyson. Had referee Octavio Meyran counted normally, he would have still gotten up accordingly before the count of 10. There was WAY too much riding on the line here with the death of his mother and all, to stay down for the count. The Douglas corner deserves credit for snapping him out of that trance, as they could be heard screaming at him to get back to his feet. Mike's major mistake is that he didn't fight with desperation from the start, he only fought back like a champion when he was already well behind and needed a miracle to win. Actually, two of the judges rigged their scorecards, so Tyson was still on pace for a draw at the very least. One of his eyes was swollen shut and his corner/"Team Tyson" was to blame for not bringing an endswell to this particular fight, arrogantly believing that their man was invincible. At the end of the day, everyone is human. The choices that we make ultimately impact the outcome from one day to the next, as this fight so brutally demonstrates. While "Buster" may have had the hunger to beat Mike this time, he proceeded to replace it with physical hunger for food from that point on. On the other hand, Mike got some of the fight hunger back to prove that the "Real Mike Tyson" was still alive and well, until he unfortunately got the bite hunger for Evander Holyfield. To be fair, "The Real Deal" treated Mike like absolute shit in both fights, stepping on his toes, low blowing him before the "balance shot" trip knockdown in Round 6 and infamously using his head as a weapon (Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman also confirm that Evander did the same to them, especially evidenced by the Golf ball-like bump that developed on Rahman's Fore!head). The only way that Mike could have overcame such an opponent would have been to focus on body shots to wear him down like a pair of puffed up purple MC Hammer genie pants, rather than head shots. It probably didn't help matters that Tyson landed a flush opening head shot on Holyfield's chin during their first bout, as it made him think that he could continue landing those shots from start to finish. Instead, it got Evander's attention and he knew what to expect in terms of Tyson's style from that point onward. Mike had a moment of brilliance in Round 5, when he used his trademark hook to the body to first stun Evander and then followed up immediately with an uppercut to the head, but instead of rinsing and repeating his killer combo all night long, he went head hunting all over again, which allowed Holyfield to duck underneath those predictable high punches and come back up with his head right in Tyson's face, which eventually caused Mike to snap during the rematch. Most people hated Mike at that point for biting Holyfield's ears twice and it would take him a while to regain the same level of popularity as before. However, Mike got the last laugh, as it made him even more famous and fascinating to the media and public alike, go figure! Anyway, I'm proud of Mike Tyson for continuing to make a name for himself, win or lose. While guys like Douglas, Holyfield and Lewis beat him in the ring, they will never come close to the overall impact that he has had on boxing and people's lives in general. Mike's influence is unbeatable, as is his fighting spirit. Keep it up and NEVER give up!
Mike is like fine fine wine. He’s gotten better with time. I always liked him but he’s just so genuine about himself and he doesn’t hide from a detail from his life. In a world where we are lied to so often it’s almost uncomfortable to hear someone speak so honestly. That friction works on the conscience.
I loved Mike as a boxer. I loved his movie roles. But as a person I can see the hurt, and wisdom Mike has gained through his amazing life experiences and travels. I would love to talk with him some day.
Both Mike's are so unique here. With both of these legends the old cliche applies "what you see is what you get". Intelligent with deep seated emotions. Thanks Michael and I'll see you shortly brother!
I was down in recent years following divorce, illness and addiction. I didn’t want to get up until I noticed that some people wanted me to stay down. It’s a great incentive to stand up.
Love this ..Tyson always keeps it real and thats why he gets so emotional when talking about "real talk" Mike we love you champ!!! Keep it coming Michael franzese..gbu
Mike is hugely inspiring to me personally. My personal situation is bleak in that I am dying of a degenerative disease that is super painful…I’m still not old really and I have young kids so I have everything to fight for, but it’s really tough. I STILL am working to provide for my family despite dying and I am in a rough fight everyday to just do the right thing. My mental health takes a battering too as the pain is off the chart, my legs don’t really work too good and I keep pissing my pants. I find Mikes attitude to life and how much he has changed really inspiring me to keep fighting. I love the man. He isn’t a warrior to me because of his boxing, he is a warrior to me with how equally vulnerable he is and how honest he is with himself. He is an ambassador for change.
Absolutely. He has turned it all around for himself and has been a guiding light for so many. I'm sorry to hear about your problems and pains, that is brutal. I just hope you keep fighting and working for what you want. Have a good day man!
Brother I am in also too much pain but keto diet ,no sugar and little bit of pranayaamas (yoga) restored atleast 50% power back…try man i believe you can reverse and heal!!!!
I don't know if this will help brother but try and learn as hard as it maybe be to to celebrate gratitude and thankfulness. And every day continue to believe for the better. Godbless you and may God bring you peace of mind 🙏
Mike best quote ever "people are like monkeys the higher they get in the tree the more they show there ass"so true! Loved this guy threw it all fom 83 till now still a champion
I love Tyson and Franzese together. Informative, honest, great history/stories and no sense of bullshit. Could not stop watching until the end….Tom as well!! Thanks Mr. Franzese and Mr. Tyson, great, great episode. Please do more.
My favorite athlete as a kid besides Jordan. He's the reason I became a boxing fan 💯. There will never be another fighter like Iron Mike!! The stories we hear on this channel are incredible!

Mike Tyson the legend that’s one guy I would love to sit and watch all the old tapes of fights with he is a boxing historian just like myself . You will always be the greatest in my eyes!! Love from 🇬🇧
Michael is great interviewer, I just love how he asks the right questions and let's his guests answer without interrupting like a lot of other interviewers do, made for another captivating sit down 💯
people underestimate Mike's intelligence! The beginning of this video … his mental strength and how you respond “I like that” … man! Real man right there ! Nothing but love and respect
I believe it was the interview with the boxer Canelo him and Mike were talking about horses and a rare breed of horse called Akhal teke, its coat is so shiny it looks like it glows. Canelo did an interview on his ranch in Mexico, what an incredible thing to see him handle horses. Link below if anyone wants to see it. ruclips.net/video/as5q0ExTL-I/видео.html
Every time I watch these Sit Downs I feel like I'm a guest in Michaels house. He is right, never call this an interview! This is just too pure. Can't wait for the next.
Love this interview, always loved Mike Tyson,this just shows how he truly is. He is filled with love, and loves to be loved, by true honest friends and family. God bless you Mike 😇
Mike can be so funny and insightful at times. He's so full of life even after all the hard times. Tough bloke indeed. Cheers for the sitdown Michael, your a legend mate😎
It's easy to be like that, after the hard times, when you're back to being a millionaire. Imagine he didn't have all the privilege through prison and after. Whole different Tyson.
Michael, You are a Natural. It's like you were born to be an interviewer. Great questions, tone, understanding, humbleness, wisdom etc. Love hearing you speak and engage with others.
@Stiv Garneski Thanks for being such a ignorant person. He said himself it changed his life. Mohammed Ali changed his life. The rugby player Sun Bill Williams converted he said it changed his life before all he would do is have sex with different girls.
I have been watching Mike Tyson’s interviews on you tube for awhile now. He is a highly intelligent individual and I enjoy seeing him in the place he is in now. He remembers fights he watched from years ago, quotes poets, and has a great knowledge of past rulers from hundreds even thousands of years ago. This retention is a sign of high intelligence in my opinion. Imagine if he had Cus around him instead of the blood suckers that represented him. I bet he would have not gone bad for that time.
This was f**** amazing...mike,michael and patti are droping wisdom straight from the devine,pure honesty,no ego involved,just real men,talkin real life s***
This is one of my favourite episodes Michael I’ve decided tomorrow I’m going to sit down and pray, write my goals which will make me happy and I will take Tyson’s mentality “dying while trying” Listening to these men and what they have overcome and how happy they still are after the fact. It’s given me hope thank you
I recently watched his interview with Khabib and he's so sharp here compared to that one. Really enjoy seeing Mike with his eyes open, but I also understand the need to wanting to block the demons with help! Great content as always! Thank you Michael!
Such a great sit down, letting Tyson talk and not leading him for an agenda. I have to say that Tyson is much deeper than I had ever thought until the first sit down and now this one cements it.
Mike is such a deep character who still talks with street smarts you can see the positive energy in him when he talks about cus you can see the love and depth of weight that he had on him and still has fantastic podcast Mike and Mike and Tom
Part one was my favorite of all sit downs !!! Can’t wait to watch this ‘!!! Thank you Michael!! Have a great afternoon!! See you later with Inner Circle!!!!
Mikes such a genuine guy. Hes always himself no matter who hes around and unapologetic in his opinion and views. Unafraid to stand on his own and have his own original thought and perspectives.
My loyalty has never changed Mr. Tyson, even when you lost for the first time I never changed Conners. Iv always been in your corner. Your life the ups & downs & the way you still come back, your an inspiration Mr. Tyson, your "My Hero" Always has & will always be, "The Man" You have done things in the Ring that only others can just dream about.
"The hole was the best part" geez. Imagine guards thinking they are gonna mentally break Tyson down and put him in the hole, only to discover he is having the best time of his life. That's ceazy.
When I was a kid and heard the allegations against Mike Tyson, I was made to believe he automatically did it. Having actually been through something like that and getting older makes you realize anyone can say anything about you and try to ruin your life because they want what you have and it sucks for the women that are actually telling the truth.
There is a vid on yt back in the 80s that former President Trump was defending Tyson and basiclaly saying he did not believe the woman. This was at the height of the case. Love or hate Trump, I always admired he spoke what he felt was true when everyone else was either too afraid or riding the band wagon of hate against Mike.
I was raised with that 'never quit' attitude built into me. It's just not an option to give up. I am right with Mike - 'don't like me, then $#!% you. I'm not living this life for you. You weren't there during my struggles, and you have no right to judge me now' I can't stand fake people. I love these interviews, they pump me up and inspire me. You keep so many people like me inspired everyday. Thank you.
@@johynsmith HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT! IM TYPING THIS THROUGH A VEIL OF TEARS IN MY SAFESPACE WITH ALL 7 OF MY PSYCHOLOGISTS BY MY SIDE! TAKE IT BACK NOW!
Man! Mike is the greatest guy ever, even when he get emotional, you hear it in his voice but he keeps you right on track with what he's saying. What a strong individual The struggles & life lessons this legend has man ! I'm so glad we can have bits of it thru podcasts like this & his Hotboxin. It's really a blessing
My mom would always tell me the lesson Mike Tyson believes in. "Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are." That Spanish version of that phrase is still stuck with me to this day. Amazing work, sir. You and Iron Mike are few of the realest people in the world.
I love the new raw, uncensored Mike. He seems to be living his best life now. Happier than he was when he was at the top of the boxing world. Still keeping it real!
This just keeps getting better! Tyson really at his best when he's surrounded by his closest friends. Love that they're all openly talking about politics without filter!
I am a Mike Tyson fanatic. Watch all his documentaries, fights, Vegas show, and interviews. Some interviews are repetitive, stale and cover familiar ground. Got to hear new stories, new takes here, and a LOT of laughs. That man is hilarious and authentic as they come. Glad I watched. Best wishes to all 3 of you fellas.
This interview series is arguably the best I have ever seen so far. I can just see myself beside those slices boxes munching out shooting the shit with these Men. Like shop talk with great information. This was so fun to watch. Very real approach.
I can sit there all day Listening to Iron Mikes old stories. Brings back memories of me growing up in the Catskills and going to the gym he trained in Main Street Catskill!
This sit down is straight up legendary. The stories these 2 have are amazing. Michael Franzese, can you get a sit down with 50 Cent? That would be 🔥🔥🔥 because you both know business, the life, and the intelligence and everything about them would be able to match this one. God bless the both of you 💯🕊

I went from 13 and thinking he was exciting to 17 and think he is a pos to 45 and I admire him more than anyone I can think of.
He experienced a very wide spectrum of things and has developed a wisdom most people lack
U don't realize how smart mike is ,until u see episodes like this,its beautiful!
This is by far the happiest Mike interview I've watched. Insightful 💯
Most of his sit downs now are humble. He really is at peace with himself.
You should see him when he's smoking and eating shrooms. He's like a giant teddy bear
Your view of happiness is subjective. Someone’s content is never someone’s happiness.
Might be because of the mutual admiration
These sit downs are true gems for anyone looking for valuable life lessons! A pleasure to watch!
Yes, very true. A gem indeed!

I agree. He has come full circle in his life and seems happy.
Mike Tyson's spirit could power the Sun, man. His laugh, his energy, and his realness just lights up my soul.
Damn...that's deep bruh
Michael is great interviewer, I just love how he asks the right questions and let's his guests answer without interrupting like a lot of other interviewers do, made for another captivating sit down 💯
Mike Tysons is the today's image of a true man!! Emotional, vulnerable, and not to be messes with.
I just luv Mike he's so honest and full of great wisdom for anyone's life
people underestimate Mike's intelligence! The beginning of this video … his mental strength and how you respond “I like that” … man! Real man right there ! Nothing but love and respect
Couldn’t agree more
@@julianbryant8230 yeah me too.
Facts man facts !
I believe it was the interview with the boxer Canelo him and Mike were talking about horses and a rare breed of horse called Akhal teke, its coat is so shiny it looks like it glows. Canelo did an interview on his ranch in Mexico, what an incredible thing to see him handle horses. Link below if anyone wants to see it.

Two great Michaels that turned their life around and found enlightenment. God bless, Michael, thank You for sharing this with us.
The genuineness of the interview was amazing, and the honesty is refreshing
Probably, Mike Tyson's best interview where he really opens up
For sure you didnt watch any before
He keeps his circle small now and he was young then and from England we love you Mike Tyson 💯
Micheal is the most interesting guy I’ve ever seen!! Such a legend. So is everyone in that room!! 💯💯💯
Every time I watch these Sit Downs I feel like I'm a guest in Michaels house. He is right, never call this an interview! This is just too pure. Can't wait for the next.
@@michaelfranzese u are the best..i really look up to you alot..
I love Mike Tyson. He's raw, real, and uncensored. We need more of him in "polite society"
Mike Tyson is one treasure given to this world.. he’s such a genuine, raw real man. He’s overcome so much and still going 💪🏾
Love this interview, always loved Mike Tyson,this just shows how he truly is. He is filled with love, and loves to be loved, by true honest friends and family. God bless you Mike 😇
Mike can be so funny and insightful at times. He's so full of life even after all the hard times. Tough bloke indeed. Cheers for the sitdown Michael, your a legend mate😎
It's easy to be like that, after the hard times, when you're back to being a millionaire. Imagine he didn't have all the privilege through prison and after. Whole different Tyson.
Yeah I guess you make a fair point
Michael, You are a Natural. It's like you were born to be an interviewer. Great questions, tone, understanding, humbleness, wisdom etc. Love hearing you speak and engage with others.
What a nice guy, it’s a change listening to an honest person no airs and graces about him.
Thanks Micheal.
Mike Tyson 💯 real. Respect and love the spirit and energy Mike naturally radiates.
Mike is clearly living his best life! It's nice to see he's finally made peace with himself
I noticed he became a better person after he converted to Islam.
@Stiv Garneski Thanks for being such a ignorant person. He said himself it changed his life. Mohammed Ali changed his life. The rugby player Sun Bill Williams converted he said it changed his life before all he would do is have sex with different girls.
@@Truth_Seeker1rofl😂😂😂
I have been watching Mike Tyson’s interviews on you tube for awhile now. He is a highly intelligent individual and I enjoy seeing him in the place he is in now. He remembers fights he watched from years ago, quotes poets, and has a great knowledge of past rulers from hundreds even thousands of years ago. This retention is a sign of high intelligence in my opinion. Imagine if he had Cus around him instead of the blood suckers that represented him. I bet he would have not gone bad for that time.
He's a boxing historian. He knows as much if not more than veteran sports writers and journalists.
@@lighthousesociety. and he has tons of life experience
yes brills-he is amazing -did u see hotboxin with rfk ?
This was f**** amazing...mike,michael and patti are droping wisdom straight from the devine,pure honesty,no ego involved,just real men,talkin real life s***
I believe Mike got some Italian blood from Cus, I feel how he chokes up when he gets deep and has deep feelings. Much love to you 3 gentleman.
This is one of my favourite episodes Michael
I’ve decided tomorrow I’m going to sit down and pray, write my goals which will make me happy and I will take Tyson’s mentality “dying while trying”
Listening to these men and what they have overcome and how happy they still are after the fact.
It’s given me hope thank you
Mike Tyson is the epitome of presence.
Loved watching Mike back in the day! Love watching him now getting choked up and emotional and spitting the truth. Legend!
I recently watched his interview with Khabib and he's so sharp here compared to that one. Really enjoy seeing Mike with his eyes open, but I also understand the need to wanting to block the demons with help! Great content as always!
Thank you Michael!
He wasnt high in this podcast
He said he was preparing for a fight
Yea i hope he has a more sober interview with Canelo and Khabib again.
This might be the best interview slash podcast I have ever heard and I’m not lying. It gave me chills.
Michael Franzese!!
Intelligent guy!!!
The most!!
Such a great sit down, letting Tyson talk and not leading him for an agenda. I have to say that Tyson is much deeper than I had ever thought until the first sit down and now this one cements it.
Mike is such a deep character who still talks with street smarts you can see the positive energy in him when he talks about cus you can see the love and depth of weight that he had on him and still has fantastic podcast Mike and Mike and Tom
Part one was my favorite of all sit downs !!! Can’t wait to watch this ‘!!!
Thank you Michael!! Have a great afternoon!! See you later with Inner Circle!!!!
Mikes such a genuine guy. Hes always himself no matter who hes around and unapologetic in his opinion and views. Unafraid to stand on his own and have his own original thought and perspectives.
The boxing game, not for everyone, franzese is making a living from interviewing people, the talk is all about money🚩
Mike is something else. A force of nature
My loyalty has never changed Mr. Tyson, even when you lost for the first time I never changed Conners. Iv always been in your corner. Your life the ups & downs & the way you still come back, your an inspiration Mr. Tyson, your "My Hero"
Always has & will always be,
"The Man" You have done things in the Ring that only others can just dream about.
Mike is a national treasure. His honesty and self reflection is really admirable. Went to prison as an innocent man too.
Feel as though this has been one of the best interviews with Tyson because the interviewer is on a genuine level with him…
"The hole was the best part" geez. Imagine guards thinking they are gonna mentally break Tyson down and put him in the hole, only to discover he is having the best time of his life. That's ceazy.
Tyson is HILARIOUS. Love his energy when he gets going
Funny how exactly? The way he talks?
Mike & mike..there a couple guys that really lived it..
When I was a kid and heard the allegations against Mike Tyson, I was made to believe he automatically did it. Having actually been through something like that and getting older makes you realize anyone can say anything about you and try to ruin your life because they want what you have and it sucks for the women that are actually telling the truth.
Uhhh....That's great and all, buuuttt Mike was actually very guilty...
There is a vid on yt back in the 80s that former President Trump was defending Tyson and basiclaly saying he did not believe the woman. This was at the height of the case. Love or hate Trump, I always admired he spoke what he felt was true when everyone else was either too afraid or riding the band wagon of hate against Mike.
Well and he admitted he did it
@@christophertaylor9100 yes indeed, but he was being brainwashed and controlled by Robin and that's a fact
@@samsneadd exactly
I was raised with that 'never quit' attitude built into me. It's just not an option to give up. I am right with Mike - 'don't like me, then $#!% you. I'm not living this life for you. You weren't there during my struggles, and you have no right to judge me now' I can't stand fake people. I love these interviews, they pump me up and inspire me. You keep so many people like me inspired everyday. Thank you.
I dont like your attitude and im starting a petition to get you censored! My feelings should dictate how you speak!
Same, my parents didnt raise no quitter! And i seem to agree with your whole comment.
@@mikimiyazaki am I supposed to take you seriously?? 😂 get outta here
@@johynsmith he doesn't like u
@@johynsmith HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT! IM TYPING THIS THROUGH A VEIL OF TEARS IN MY SAFESPACE WITH ALL 7 OF MY PSYCHOLOGISTS BY MY SIDE! TAKE IT BACK NOW!
Everyone Loves Tyson what a dude!! 👍🏻
Thank you for having me on 🙏
Michael thank you again for another amazing sit down. So glad you being who you are chose this medium ( RUclips) to create such quality content.
Thanks for the interview Mike and Mike. Tyson has always been one of my favorite athletes in and out of the ring.
Hey Micheal, I’m a fan of yours. One of your best sit down yet.. you both got much in common. Would love to have mike back for one more interview.
"The truth WILL set you free.. but it's gonna make you miserable first"..Great quote and true for many.
Mike seems so Happy and content now , but he still carries that intimidation factor without even trying.
The Toad changed his life
@@danieltucker5087 you wouldn’t call him a toad to his face
This is the best interview I've seen with mike. You both did prison time. You guys could tell a million different stories.
Mikes a smart dude. Can watch his interviews all day.
The reason this interview w Mike is so much different than most others.. he has a deep respect for the interviewer.
Man! Mike is the greatest guy ever, even when he get emotional, you hear it in his voice but he keeps you right on track with what he's saying. What a strong individual
The struggles & life lessons this legend has man ! I'm so glad we can have bits of it thru podcasts like this & his Hotboxin. It's really a blessing
My mom would always tell me the lesson Mike Tyson believes in. "Show me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are."
That Spanish version of that phrase is still stuck with me to this day. Amazing work, sir. You and Iron Mike are few of the realest people in the world.
True - but what do you say about someone that doesn’t have any ?
What if you have all sorts of different friends though or you are more influential to them then they are to you?
This new,and reformed Tyson is a genuine dude.
He was always genuine, it's just in the right direction now even though I never believed he raped that woman
Dude, this is your best one! You got to hang with Mike Tyson. The guy on the left isn’t familiar but you three crushed it!!!!!!!! Good video. 😎
His honesty even at fault is what makes Mike tyson so likeable this is a very rare attribute in people
I love the new raw, uncensored Mike. He seems to be living his best life now. Happier than he was when he was at the top of the boxing world. Still keeping it real!
This just keeps getting better! Tyson really at his best when he's surrounded by his closest friends. Love that they're all openly talking about politics without filter!
always love listening to Mike, we need more Mike Tyson Mysteries
Glad you guys finally made the interview happen. I remember the interview with both of them and Michael told iron Mike that they should get together.
Mike ALWAYS talks from the heart. He never gives interviews for the sake of the interview.
When you talk with Mike, you are going to get 100% truth.
Super Mike looks like an happy child. Amazing
This is a good interview. Mike sometimes smokes during interviews and it affects his responses. A clear minded Mike is way more engaging.
I am a Mike Tyson fanatic. Watch all his documentaries, fights, Vegas show, and interviews. Some interviews are repetitive, stale and cover familiar ground. Got to hear new stories, new takes here, and a LOT of laughs. That man is hilarious and authentic as they come. Glad I watched. Best wishes to all 3 of you fellas.
Man I love Mike! Every time I see him talk I love him more!
Both Mikes actually.
Cuz D’Amato was the man.
I don't think i've ever scene Tyson as happy as this while conversing with folks. He's genuinely having a good time.
Happiest. And most talkative ive ever seen iron Mike he genuinely likes you Michael.great sit down🤝
I never fail to turn up to this mans videos, his story’s are way too good and interesting to be missed. God bless you Micheal!
This interview series is arguably the best I have ever seen so far. I can just see myself beside those slices boxes munching out shooting the shit with these Men. Like shop talk with great information. This was so fun to watch. Very real approach.
Mike is getting wiser every time. He is lowkey a philosopher.
I can sit there all day Listening to Iron Mikes old stories. Brings back memories of me growing up in the Catskills and going to the gym he trained in Main Street Catskill!
Mike is the TRUTH! Love his knowledge and sayings. No one like him
This sit down is straight up legendary. The stories these 2 have are amazing. Michael Franzese, can you get a sit down with 50 Cent? That would be 🔥🔥🔥 because you both know business, the life, and the intelligence and everything about them would be able to match this one. God bless the both of you 💯🕊
That would be a good one. 50 Cent a survivor like both Mikes
