Well I mean Sugar Ray Leonard has done a similar feat. Ali never made an excuse after losses like blaming the ref about how fast the count was. No shade being thrown here. I think boxers in general are as strong as hulk when it comes to mentality and admitting their misdeeds considering what they go threw. Nonetheless, I agree that when tyson talked, it made sense and he sounded like a wise old kungfu master.
@@Eralen00 very true i know I’ve been guilty of exactly that, acting hard at times but really just masking insecurity I think most guys have I’ve seen it so often Takes a a lot more strength to figure the root of your insecurities and deal with them then mask them with what is a lot of times fake toughness
I’m telling you Mike Tyson has been one of the most open and honest people in these last two centuries(thanks for 800 likes everyone I really appreciate it)
There are 8 billion people on planet earth buddy. You could find millions of people more honest than him lol. God, I hate when people make such dumb claims.
Because his insecurities are not in how vulnerable he is. He has no insecurity like most people do like “what will people think of me”. Strong minded people have other insecurities like their own mind. They are competing against themselves. Most people are competing against others to outshine each other to feel good. They are like fish in a sea.
For a split second he actually seemed like a regular human being, like the rest of us, as he allowed himself to wonder if he was really good enough. Amazing seeing an athlete so iconic be so honest. “IT HAUNTS ME…it haunts me…” Felt that shit.
Mike Tyson is the prime example that being intelligent and being highly educated are two different things just because you’re not highly educated does not necessarily mean you’re not intelligent.
Extremely humble man, outstanding fighter, maybe he sets his own bar too high as most of us would think he does, but that dedication and focus on only giving his best is why he has so much respect. The guys a true warrior.. a legend.
He was the greatest in his very short prime (which was over probably in 1987, he abandoned what made him the greatest well before Douglas, and we never ever saw that Tyson again).
I’ve never met Mike, but I love him. There’s no lies coming from his lips, his wisdom is well beyond his age. He speaks intelligently, but funny at the same time. He is my #2 favorite after Ali; both masters in the ring, and geniuses all the time.
Mike Tyson enables us to see our own imperfections, while acknowledging that we must all continue to evolve as a better version of ourselves. Thanks Champ💯
I thought I'd watched every interview Mike ever did in the last 30 years or so and then this...what the hell? this is a Gem of how Mike was and still is.
Mike Tyson is a real human being that expressed himself. This is what Bruce Lee articulated in the Tao of Jeet Kune Do. Mike Tyson today is treasure because he has seen the brightest and the darkest places and is in balance. ☯️ 💪🏻
Far too rare do I see someone bust out a Tao of JKD reference in the wild. But it makes so much sense here. Thank you my friend for the share - youre spot on
If Cus was alive, he would have turned out differently. He was lost without him. But all those time, the media made us hear what they wanted him to be because it sells. They wanted a black ferocious brute who was a monster, a real life Marvel comic Hulk. Not a human with heart and insecurities. A blunt black force who destroys.
No. No racism. Scientifically proven fact with real life experiment. A white person was tracked down walking alone at night on a road side. A black peerson was made to go in the opposite direction. The white woman changed lane whefx there's a white guy of same built walking in the opposite direction too. Same thing happened with a black women, asian, old black and white guy. People in general scared of black young person. So make that more uu r making Machine. Nothing racist about it. Pure business sense. But not too good for the subject, Mike Tyson but who care about him, Don King? Trump promoting his Atlantic casino? Nobody as long as they make money off him.
Poor man, haunts him..... even speaking of failing, he has to wipe away the sweat from getting stressed out. Thank you Mike for your years of perfection but im glad you gave it up for the sake of your sanity. Glad you got distracted and had fun partying and enjoying life. Otherwise you would've lost your mind
He talks about being afraid of no one and being the toughest sob yet hes afraid to lose! In any aspect he basically just admitted it while being a perfectionist.
It was a total shame and sad that cus damato died when he did he was a father figure and mentor to Mike Tyson cus kept him in check and focused after he died Mike declined slowly
Me too, i cant handle disappointment even if its my own fault. We all always aim for something but in the process when things goes wrong either its our own fault or somebody else it will get you disappointed. Before i watch this i can't admit that i cant handle disappointments, now i realized that im unable to handle disappointments.
The achillies , the napoleon, the Alexander of our time… the 48 laws of power mentions how a true warrior a true powerful man will seek more enemies than friends.. for enemies benefit your reputation more than a friend… a powerful man shall embrace conflict for the more conflict he has.. his reputation is one to admire because everyone will have a reason to fear him . Mike Tyson fought 1-2 fights a month… nowadays we’re lucky if we get a boxer to fight 1-2 a year
I was a kid during Tyson's prime so I don't remember it well, but I do remember him being kind of a joke, intellectually, to most of society. He was considered an idiot and a lunatic. Listening to him as an adult, I am blown away by his mind. As much greatness as he achieved in the ring, Tyson is a great example of someone who could have really done a lot more for himself and society if he had been treated right along the way.
_"Did you reach perfection?"
No one does, but we aim for it.
Mike has always been well spoken.
That's not what cus thought
Nobody ever gives Mike enough credit for how articulate and intelligent he's always been since the beginning.
@@paudieokeeffe3739 he is truly a Mohamed Ali friend, its not for nothing!!
Definitely
thats wisdom
"I could be wrong, cause im usually wrong."
Legend.
Mike Tyson.
He was wrong about usually being wrong
Aren't we all.
bro just created a paradox
@@ak-jx1pm which means he is right and wrong at the same time? 😮😲🤯
He usually is never wrong
Mike Tyson is the only man I have ever seen be strong enough to admit his insecurities without ever appearing weak.
strive for that level of strength
Well I mean Sugar Ray Leonard has done a similar feat. Ali never made an excuse after losses like blaming the ref about how fast the count was. No shade being thrown here.

@@RahimmacDonald I agree with Tyson that the standing count for Buster Douglas was too long. Tyson won that fight imho.
Ironically, it takes a strong man to admit their weaknesses. The spiritually weak men are the ones who act hard all the time and deny their insecurity
@@Eralen00
very true
i know I’ve been guilty of exactly that, acting hard at times but really just masking insecurity
I think most guys have I’ve seen it so often
Takes a a lot more strength to figure the root of your insecurities and deal with them then mask them with what is a lot of times fake toughness

Decades*
@@bransonr9954Century *******
It's so rare for someone to be this open and still be so scary
There are 8 billion people on planet earth buddy. You could find millions of people more honest than him lol. God, I hate when people make such dumb claims.
@@MonkeyDIvanwell this is refreshing, nice to meet you.
I really like that guy, how transparent he is, vulnerable, open. Fierce
Strong.
Because his insecurities are not in how vulnerable he is. He has no insecurity like most people do like “what will people think of me”. Strong minded people have other insecurities like their own mind. They are competing against themselves. Most people are competing against others to outshine each other to feel good.

He who seeks wisdom. Seeks humility.
This man never ceases to give me chills with his wisdom. Very well spoken.
For a split second he actually seemed like a regular human being, like the rest of us, as he allowed himself to wonder if he was really good enough. Amazing seeing an athlete so iconic be so honest. “IT HAUNTS ME…it haunts me…” Felt that shit.
It's wild. Even the greatest of the greatest still have their insecurities. Some people are just better at hiding them than others
he is like the rest of us. all humans are special. you could achieve great things too if you applied yourself properly
Well he is...its just he trained hard to be a good boxer...I trained hard to be a good electrician...humans are humans
Mike Tyson is more a regular human being than any man who ever lived
@@-.-Rob-.-XYwas about to say 😂😂 he always talks about his insecurities and fears. ❤❤
Reporter: You achieved it.
Mike: Naa. No one does it. We aim for it.
Humble in his prime.
"It's Good but It's not perfect"
- Some oldman named Cus
I remember hearing Cus say that in an old video, glad someone else did to 👍🏿
I remember hearing this on an old VHS video years ago. And Tyson also said.. Tell me something Cus!
I read it in his voice, in my head...
You mean a GOD EMONG MAN
M in
I've never seen a man that's humble and confident at same time
Mike T is truly intelligent
Mike Tyson is the prime example that being intelligent and being highly educated are two different things just because you’re not highly educated does not necessarily mean you’re not intelligent.
Mike is the closest to a true philosopher a boxing ring has ever seen. He spoke genuine words of wisdom without ever sounding pedantic.
he is one of the most honest people it's crazy
He is one of kind, always smart responses. Genies answer.
We need to cherish this man while he is still here. We have a colossus living among us a living legend and he needs his flowers now 🙏
Extremely humble man, outstanding fighter, maybe he sets his own bar too high as most of us would think he does, but that dedication and focus on only giving his best is why he has so much respect. The guys a true warrior.. a legend.
Shoutouts to Mike for being so humble and open ☀️
Mike is a very special man, we are so lucky to have him in our lifetime.
Such a humble man, love him ❤
This is exactly why I believe Mike Tyson is the best boxer. He’s very genuine and humble.
Outside the ring definitely, inside the ring genuine but not humble
@@SqlEdits yeah that’s true but it seems more like he says that in the heat of the moment you know?
@@tom-1019 exactly
He's always been an honest man that was used by powerful people. They never broke him because he kept his integrity
Iron Mike is the most eloquent boxer of his era. So much more going on in his mind .
Mike was always very intelligent & self aware. People just couldn't get past the lisp in his voice to appreciate it back then
True.
He wasn't the greatest but he sure had the potential to be the best ever
Yes. Muhammad Ali is the greatest. Mike Tyson is the best. Or would've been the best had he stayed with Kevin Rooney.
He was the greatest in his very short prime (which was over probably in 1987, he abandoned what made him the greatest well before Douglas, and we never ever saw that Tyson again).
Real ones know this feeling. 😢
I’ve never met Mike, but I love him.
There’s no lies coming from his lips, his wisdom is well beyond his age. He speaks intelligently, but funny at the same time. He is my #2 favorite after Ali; both masters in the ring, and geniuses all the time.

Mike brings honesty beyond what other people think
Love Mike, he is so raw and real! 💯
This is the man who fought life for many many rounds . He beat life .
I thought I'd watched every interview Mike ever did in the last 30 years or so and then this...what the hell? this is a Gem of how Mike was and still is.
That’s why he was so feared. Greatest combination natural power and speed coupled with a desire for perfection
The most complete fighter in the world
Perfect mindset
I admire his honesty!✊🏽 Mike Tyson The Great!👑🥊👊🏽

one thing about mike is that he is always honest
One of the reasons I always love Mike so much and have so much respect for him it's because he is honest
“I could be wrong, because I’m usually wrong”
Man is insecure about his insecurities
He IS THE GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT EVER!!!. IN AND OUT OF THE RING
This was shown most during his fight against Holyfield
Eye for an eye🤓
Ear bite for a headbutt 🗿
Holyfield was a dirty fighter.
You mean post prison? Lol. This ain't the same "Fighter" as post prison. Yes we ALL KNOW He lost to Douglass Lewis and Holy field.🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@henryjohnson8106I love mike and I wasn’t taking a jab at him, I was just stating a fact
@@Sierra_mike definitely
It all goes back to a boy not wanting to disappoint the only man who loved and believed in him.
If Cus was alive, he would have turned out differently. He was lost without him. But all those time, the media made us hear what they wanted him to be because it sells. They wanted a black ferocious brute who was a monster, a real life Marvel comic Hulk. Not a human with heart and insecurities. A blunt black force who destroys.
@Zodinthara-jo5yi easy racist. It woulda been the same w Tommy Morrison, but Tommy was only *almost* good enough to become champ
No. No racism. Scientifically proven fact with real life experiment. A white person was tracked down walking alone at night on a road side. A black peerson was made to go in the opposite direction.

@@Zodinthara-jo5yi dude he was completely unhinged at times throughout his life lol, you think they just made that part of him up?
He always been very intelligent. People have no clue.
Ultimate legend a gladiator much love and respect 🙏 wish you peace Mike your loved and respected by many ❤❤❤
That's the realest most honest I've ever seen mike be. And I've watched a lot of his stuff
Yeah it’s over Paul lol
Xd 😂
Mike is so literate and eloquent with how he expresses his emotions and thoughts. Not your regular violent bully they painted him as.
This was because Cus instilled the desire for perfection in Mike from a young age
He still had that hood mentality as professional boxer with the focus to survive. That makes him probably the one of the most dangerous man
I love this.
That neck is giving no chills
The mind of a pure genius. What an inspirational man
I love when mike Tyson is like this
"in the ring"
" No in bed"💀
That's Cus D Amato speaking.
He has his own mind,and he is very intelligent
Mike, you are perfection.
The man’s a guru on this topic
this mans aim for perfection is to literally punch a hole through you 💀
😂
A prime Tyson 1986 to 1990 he was ferocious
His insecurities should be his voice...man sounds like child and yet can murder us anytime anywhere
Nah the voice ain't it, he fears not being able to whoop your ass properly for making fun of his voice.
Mike is legend 💯
The real wise Mike Tyson
Poor man, haunts him..... even speaking of failing, he has to wipe away the sweat from getting stressed out. Thank you Mike for your years of perfection but im glad you gave it up for the sake of your sanity. Glad you got distracted and had fun partying and enjoying life. Otherwise you would've lost your mind
His insecurities are not material, it's purely personal
Cus bred him to do this.
A win is a win but o fight for perfection 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Man was very wise even at that age
It’s not only his skill that makes him great, it’s his willingness to be the student.
“ no one does , but we aim for it”
Gotta love his brutal honesty
I love his honesty
That’s why he bit evanders ear twice
He was losing, getting flustered and afraid he would lose and freaked out
fuck i gotta get on this farming channel gig
He talks about being afraid of no one and being the toughest sob yet hes afraid to lose! In any aspect he basically just admitted it while being a perfectionist.
It was a total shame and sad that cus damato died when he did he was a father figure and mentor to Mike Tyson cus kept him in check and focused after he died Mike declined slowly
Perfection can never be reached.... & if its for others its impossible 🤯😭🤯👹
I remember coming up and hearing negative things about Mike Tyson but not one time I heard about him being intelligent and eloquent in speech.
I love you Mike
I fuck with Mike so damn hard man. He just don’t know who he is and he does at the same damn time.
Wow⚡❤️⚡ without fear there's no bravery. It's a deep natural instinct or warning called fear is very powerful if you accept it
He completely bypassed the compliment... "they dont know me" "they dont know what goes on inside my head"
This dude was honest asf u only can get this type from above
Me too, i cant handle disappointment even if its my own fault. We all always aim for something but in the process when things goes wrong either its our own fault or somebody else it will get you disappointed. Before i watch this i can't admit that i cant handle disappointments, now i realized that im unable to handle disappointments.
The most OG gangster but at the same time, very wise and deep in his thoughts.
It was that fear and insecurity that made him the awesome fighter he was in the ring!
The achillies , the napoleon, the Alexander of our time… the 48 laws of power mentions how a true warrior a true powerful man will seek more enemies than friends.. for enemies benefit your reputation more than a friend… a powerful man shall embrace conflict for the more conflict he has.. his reputation is one to admire because everyone will have a reason to fear him .

Much love and respect to Mike 🦾🥶
Love Mikes thought process - this is what made Mike the youngest champion ever
Tyson bro just know that the majority of the world loves you and respects you! One of the greaiof all time! A true warrior

Well said Iron Mike
A living legend for his boxing boxing’s achievements and for being who he is.
Mike is smart introsoective he knows himself and is open and genuine. I never realized he had a good heart was kind like he shows here.
He was always truthful ❤
All I see from Mike Tyson is intelligence in its peak
I think a lot of us can relate with Tysons complex emotions.🥲
No matter how Angry or pissed you get in life?
Just remember? Mike Tyson is known as one of the nicest guys to be around! 💜
That's the most wise words that I've heard from Iron Mike... No one does achieve perfection. But we aim for it...
Mike has always been brutally honest
He snapped on evander ..so he told the truth 😢😢
We love you Mike
