I’m 60 years old and it’s 2023 and watching Mike never gets old.
Despite Iron Mike Tyson being a brutal beast in the ring,he also showed some compassion by helping his opponents get up..and also going to their corners to say something good, and that he'd give them a return match ..he wasn't a coward, but a true gentleman..salud to Tyson..
He’s a good man but a lot of bad people involved in his career after Cus’s death that’s what makes me agressive
"I project my fear on my opponent. Fear is my friend, if I don't have it, I don't fight".....Mike Tyson
Makes sense Conquers the World with Sheer Power and Fear! , yea but a not good style seems 0 emotions , Muhammad Ali was my favorite He loving it he makes you love it what Muhammad Ali does in boxing ring Truly magical and inspirational , Bruce lee Uses Muhammad Ali's footwork...
When he fought Berbick did anyone notice Mike kiss the man with glasses right in the mouth or am I seeing shit
I can't stop watching Tyson video s over and over again this guy is a killing machine best heavyweight ever in my humble opinion
I agree but I’m biased because he was my childhood hero. He was just ferocious
He didn't have the reign which some hold as the greatest criteria but imo at his peak and focuses he is the g.o.a.t. I'd pick him over anybody, the 86' Tyson on his way to fulfil Cus's dream. Went on to unify all the titles. Mike Tyson wrecked the 80's hw boxing scene
ME EITHER I AM STILL WATCHING THEM
@@perpetualmotion357 agree with you but I think everyone who followed Mike's career understands that if gus was alive he would of kept the championship years longer then he did no one to trust marring a gold digger Don King getting in his head it's crazy he was able to keep the belt as long as he after Don took over tyson stopped training the way he did with his original management he started giving himself a perfect grade something he would of never done with gus they hunger left him and jail stole his best years really is a great story because he never made that comeback in boxing but he did as a human tyson is a wise old man with a successful business who has no need to box after all the b.s he came out all right I respect that almost as much as his boxing almost 😉
@@delanoarts3703 The footage doesn't lie and will be here forever. We all hear from the contrarians and "experts" who downplay Tyson (even though great boxers say otherwise) but the thing they can't erase is the footage. Even the training footage without him knocking anyone out, the speed and movement in training, Tyson sticks out like a sore thumb. There is no footage of any fighter ever that impresses me more than Mike. It's almost like he's a cheat code character in a video fighting game. Power at 10, Speed at 10, Elusiveness at 10..even his chin was granite, but he was so elusiveness we never saw much of it. It's like it's not even fair. These contrarians can downplay Tysons abilities but it's a worthless endeavor. My eyes aren't lying to me. In 100 years, the only thing people are going to go off of by judging who the greatest were is by watching the footage of the fighters.
I'm sorry, but guys like Ali and Foreman, Lewis, Fury etc..are just a step below Mike. Mike is at the top and by himself with Cus. It was the closest we're ever going to see of perfection in the ring. I can watch a Tyson fight 100 times while I struggle to get through watching others guys once with no replay value. I'm seriously obsessed and addicted to watching Mike Tyson in his prime. I'm always amazed by what I'm seeing and hearing. They even notice his punches sounded different. The footage don't lie. If criteria for g.o.a.t time is how long your reign is than Joe Louis is No.1. If the criteria is how great the fighter was at his best than Mike Tyson at the pinnacle of his skills is the greatest fighter we've ever witnessed and captured on film.
..."And if he remains dedicated, interested and without any distractions..." The distractions got him..
Well said
Yes she did
Damn you, Don King! Damn you!
I love the way after knocking everyones blocks he goes back hugs and shows compassion 😎
For me, Mike Tyson was the best boxer of all time. In his best days he was unbeatable for me, no Muhammed Ali, no Lennox Lewis, no Evander Holyfield, no modern boxer like Fury, Wilder or Joshua and no one else could beat this man at his best. Actually he had a big disadvantage, he was small and therefore only had a short distance. But he was fast, agile, had a very hard punch, was accurate, could counter extremely well and was very disciplined. His old manager set him on the right path and as long as he was there, Iron Mike worked. He was always said to have had bad opponents during his time as world champion. I can't say that, they were good boxers. Frank Bruno or Michael Spinks, for example. After his old manager died, his lifestyle changed too. Maybe all the money played a role too, I think Mike would have worked better for longer under different circumstances. Whatever the case, Mike "Iron" Tyson is an icon and a legend. I take my hat off to his performance! Mike you are the best!
Absolutely man. 100%. like a werewolf among boxers.
You are so right....I have watched ever single fight of the legend, Iron Mike Tyson....and it is like he was from another planet.....Like he was Samson or Hercules.....the speed and strength of many men .....It was mind blowing to watch................I was blessed to see Iron Mike Tyson rip Trevor Berbick a new anus...I was about 40 rows from the ring but they way the seats and stadium set things up as you go up in rows the incline gets higher and higher so I was able to see the fight really really well..I was surpise how well i could see the fighters and the ring.... My uncle got these tickets months prior and I was so excited being 22 at the time and about to see the fight of century I flew to my uncles home one week before the fight was to happen...........Yes . it was AMAZING...The feeling in the air was of epic proportions...Like i said earlier...it felt like a Greek God was going to fight........ Berbick was, if you can believe , not the favorite...it was when Iron Mike stepped into the ring the entire crowd stood up and was in AWHH...CLAPPING AND CHEERING for Iron Mike........Trevor was with this black robe, hood and looked like a lamb to be slaugtered but didn't know it .......IT WAS EPIC!!..
Agree on everything but his height being a disadvantage. With his strategy and physique, his height was optimal. It kept his jaw extremely secure and allowed him to open up taller opponents who would lose power and reaction because he could get inside of their reach. With his sheer speed and ample power, his shorter limbs allowed for even quicker combinations.
Obviously this is entirely hypothetical, but I am willing to bet that Tyson would have actually been less deadly if he were 4+ inches taller. That being said, he would have probably been great at nearly any size.
Mike Tyson had it all, Aggression, Determination, Speed And Power, He said "I Refuse To Lose" He Was A Force to be Reckoned With. 👍🇺🇸 Subbed.
Subbed ?
When he was in his prime, like these fights, he was like a machine, he had an activate button, or like mission, basically a terminator, no emotions in the fight, literally straight face the entire match
During those times.
Mike's opponents goal wasn't to win the fight..
The goal was trying to survive against Tyson
@@FreshPrincex4 Literally
The Kong of 🏆
Every now and then I need to watch some Mike Tyson videos. I just do. Its inspiring.
Same here
"fear is my friend, if i don't have it i don't fight" - Mike Tyson
Good lord was this guy a monster in his day- just straight terrifying. There were a few fights where his opponent looked scared shitless- as I would have also been!
They all looked scared shitless after the first hit 🤣🤣🤣. The one guy said over and over in all of my career I've NEVER been hit that hard 🤣
He's lightning fast!
Man Mike’s accuracy on top of his power is just phenomenal 🤦🏼♂️
They just keep wheeling them out. That shit had me rolling.
If Cus had been 20 years younger then Tyson would have been heavyweight champion throughout the 1990’s in my opinion.
Preach! Just about 20:07, after the clip sequence I literally thought "If Cus just lived 10 more years, it might, just might, have been magnificent. You would have at least 5 more years of peak heavyweight of all time. Ali exceeds him, but if he carried on at the rate he was progressing... he was only 21. He could have been sensational. More sensational.
And there's even a chance, slim chance, while he was still under discipline he could have met a nice young lady, who could do some emotional good. He could have got have got an early fatherhood and turned into Joe Frazier but better. Maybe maybe..
Love watching IRON MIKE TYSON. ALWAYS love callin' him that. The BEST, IRON MIKE TYSON.
For those commenting on the kiss at 38:22... that was Jim Jacobs, one of Mike's managers. Mike had just become the youngest heavyweight champ in history, a title he still holds today.
EDIT: Previously, the youngest heavyweight champ was Floyd Patterson... also trained by Cus D'Amato. After Mike's mother passed in 1982, Cus adopted him.
That kiss still is suspect
@@bunnyman6321 mike Tyson can only get away with something like that. He would kill you with his bare fists if you told that to him to his face
Doesn’t change the fact that it was weird.. had to slown down the video to 0.25 to confirma What i saw was real lol.
@@yeahright6021 sometimes when you win that much money, it will make you do weird things. I’m not sure how much he got for that fight but back in the 80’s that was a ton of money. Even now that would be a lot of money
@@GG-ry9vp I mean sure and above all of that he set a record as the youngest heavyweight of all time. BUT, were not talking about a ”slap ass” here, we talking about 2 heterosexual men kissing eachother on the lips. Makes me belive it’s not the first time either.
22:34 “it did not last 20 seconds”……Daaaaamnnn
Cus D'Amato predicted it and it came to pass. Mike Tyson one of the greatest boxers ever..
He did it for Cus. He once said Cus made him believe that he was invincible.
14:14 🤣"They keep wheeling them out, and he keeps knocking them over."
Mike Tyson’s first championship was truly a magical moment 😄

I'm really glad I found this hidden gem on Tyson. If only Cus had stayed alive abit longer then maybe things could have turned out better for Mike, after he passed away everything became money and it wasnt fun for Mike anymore. At least he had that time with Cus and became a boxer, arguably one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time.
D'Amato was the only solid thing in his life that made boxing an art not a dollar.
Mike. The only begotten son of D'Amato. God bless the man who put the horse in the race.
perfect projection of a warrior....
One of many more Iron Mike videos to come!!
thanks for yr efforts i enjoyed watching this .mike is the man imo.
Great video. Please more like this style.
I enjoyed it never seen lots of these videos
There can never be enough videos about him. I don't care what anybody says, if he stayed with Rooney he would have never lost. He is the best to ever step foot in the ring. He was faster than the fastest featherweight with devastating KO power in both hands. Muhammad Ali's lifelong trainer Angelo Dundee said he had never seen some of the combinations that Tyson was throwing before! Incredible thing to say considering that he was in the corner of Ali & Sugar Ray Leonard. Tyson was barely hit in his 1st 37 fights with Kevin. Never was cut, swelled up or bruised & that's insane! You just could not hit him cleanly. When he fought Tucker he was caught with a nice shot in the 1st. After the 4th round they were talking bout that punch. After the 8th round they were talking about that punch. After the 11th round they were talking bout that punch lol. They spoke about that one punch in the 1st all night. That's how rare it was to see him actually get hit! He had razor sharp reflexes. He would wait for his opponent to start throwing a punch & then just fuckn explode on them before they even got their hands back to their body & they started punching BEFORE him! I try to point some of these things out whenever I can but I'm not always sure I'm being as clear as I want to be. Regardless, this is a great video & very enjoyable to watch.
Thank you for the memories 😢
the original BEAST MODE!!! grew up watching Tyson as a kid, thinking om goodness that aint no man
Tyson had unusual compassion for all opponents right from even his amatuer days. I suspect there was pressure on him to adopt a scary persona that was not actually him.
He got caught up in the hype for a while but a man's true nature always becomes manifest inthe end, and in the case of Mike Tyson he was always one of the good guys imo.
Some of this 80’s ppv footage is amazing!
the best ever, the best to be, the best to come, the best forever none is like unto him........all hail iron mike tyson!
The best heavy weight we ever had. So exciting to watch. Thank you Mike Tyson.
Best ever, without question.
This is one of the best Tyson videos on this platform. He would later go collect championship belts like Link gathering pieces of the Triforce. His skill wasn't in question. If he would have remained focused, he would've went down as the g.o.a.t. At his peak I would never bet against him with anyone.
that's a dated reference "Link gathering pieces of the Triforce" ... but i like it
He also ended careers a few which is also telling
It was Don King's fault.
@@KevinKilgorepage he's from the 80s where we played lots of Zelda and Punchout
@@CB_GAMES777Dead on lol. Born in 80.' Still my two favorite games of all time. When other kids my age were Hulkamaniacs, I was obsessed with Kid Dynamite. I always used to say that Thunderlips was lucky he never ran into Iron Mike.
Bro, thank you for this video. Being born in 93, this is the best way possible to make me live his coming up like I was there. Awesome video. Thank you IBoxing
Mike Tyson born for boxing 🥊
Legend has it that berbick is still trying to find his legs 50 years later 😂
😂😂😂
😅😅
He's dead
What a fighter....., this guy stands alone on a precipice, unprecedented from anyone else . I never , ever tire of watching Mike Tyson fight ...ever!
Mike Tyson For Ever 👍
I’ve watched every video on RUclips of mike what a legend.🚤🦫👌🤫
How can u not luv Mike?! American Icon. I was a teenager when he was kickn ass & i mean KICKIN ASS. Glad i got to see it.
He’s an unbelievable human
you into drug addicted convicted sex offenders? the guy's an overrated cheat
@@RogerYeahmonrickyyyy dinkkkk, he’s the goat. “In the ring”
@@kylehann7743 the goat of what?
@@RogerYeahmon shut up woman
@@kylehann7743 your "goat" wasn't even top 3 in his own era.. do you have a crush on him?
My brothers and I watched all Tyson fights he got us all together as brothers rest in peace Joey and dannny boy
This really brings back a lot of memories seeing Tyson rise through the rankings, the talent and natural ability he had was unbelievable.. I don't think we'll ever see another Tyson
Had and still has the natural ability.
You won't see another Tyson for the same reason you won't see another Ali. They are of a certain era from a certain culture that just no longer exists. It's like Hollywood you don't see stars like from the 60s or 90s anymore either. You cannot substitute for the real thing not everyone is stupid enough not to notice.

He he could have fought Lewis and Holyfield in his prime they wouldn't have got any chance.... At that time they were both cruiserweight and then he or better King Don ruined Mike....! 😶
I can remember about 20 of us jumping up out of our seats cheering the was no stopping him
I keep watching tyson's fights as well he was the best and I'm glad he got revenge for Ali against berbick and Holmes he gives me goosebumps every time
He is the reason I studied peek a boo boxing. Granted, for self defense and exercise purposes but still was beyond inspired
we owe it to Gus for finding Mike for us 🙏
Bobby Stewart brought him to Cus 🙌. Mike is the greatest 🥊
Ahhhh the 80's. An age of the toupee and Iron Mike Tyson baby! I'm still pissed they took his name off of what will forever be Mike Tysons Punchout!
RIP Demato
Fun fact: Tyson wore Joe Egan’s Ireland shorts given to him for his professional debut
38:23 Mike really kissed him on mouth 😂😂
We'll Never see another Boxer like Mike Tyson Again
Fantastic resolution and amazing quality for this era. I would bet at this stage Tyson would beat Ali
Just watched this six times in 2 days, and didn’t realise until now lol
Opponents corner “Stick the long jab out” Tyson throws the left hook BAM 💥 lights out!!
This is a look at young Mike Tyson and asked what if. He absolutely devastated fighters early on The quality of his opponents got better, but he still dominated. If only, he could have stayed under Gus D'Amatos wing? He lost his way and really never achieved the greatness Cus D'Amato dreamed for him. Yes, he became heavyweight champion, but he could have done so much more.
totally agree...the 86-89 Tyson never fought Holyfield/Lewis...we"ll never know..I think he burnt out too soon.
Donnie Long "I'll out box Tyson"
🤔 Biggest overstatement of the 80's 🤯
I grew up during the Mike Tyson era..Might will always be champion in my eye...how humble of him when you watch his fights and knock his opponents out..He retreat and doesn't continue the beating until his opponents get up...
My goodness he absolutely the one and only
And i always make every tyson match videos 0.25 slower than normal, most on point punch just overwhelming
I watch these boxing videos daily and can't get tired of watching the Greatest boxer of all time..Mike truly was the top boxer in his prime..nobody could stand up against him..Mohammad Ali would have frustrated him in the ring, coz Ali was a very clever boxer in his prime..
So Fast, aggressive and powerful!!!
Thanks for the inspiration Mike! Thanks for the video.
"Everybody has a plan till they get punched in the face" - Mike Tyson
Mike is amazing. He has a strong work ethic. His daughter is an amazing tennis player.
I know it's controversial and subjective about who is the greatest prime vs prime, but to me Mike is hands down the best.
I was 17 and at MEPS when this fight occurred. Apparently no one there except me had seen Tyson fight before. I made a killing lol!
It's hard to deny that Mike Tyson at his prime was the greatest heavyweight champion of all time. No boxer, past or present, in their own prime could have beaten Mike Tyson at his prime.
My favorite Tyson fight was against Michael Spinks for the lineal title. Dude knocked the mustache off his face.
Michael Spinks looked scared entering the ring. Got the shyte beaten out of him in 1 round.
Lennox, Evander Holyfield, and Riddick Bowe would have been very tough matchups against any version of Tyson. It isn't to say that Tyson couldn't beat any of them as well on any given night, but he never did (obviously he never fought Bowe). In my opinion, Tyson turned pro at the perfect time to take over the heavyweight division during a time of transitioning into a brand new era. Tyson tended to struggle against athletic bigger heavyweights that were 2 or 3 dimensional (boxer/mover/punchers). Holyfield was not a huge heavyweight like Lennox or Bowe, but he was a multidimensional boxer with great mobility, endurance, speed, and his punches packed a good amount of power even though he wasn't a puncher on the level of Tyson or Lennox. Holyfield, Lennox, and Bowe could also fight while moving backward when they had too. I don't say this stuff to insult Mike's legacy, because he is still one of the greatest boxers of all time, and just because Tyson never beat any of those guys doesn't take away, or diminish what he accomplished. He was one of the greatest undisputed champions of all time for sure, and he had his time at the top of the mountain. I guess all I am saying is that he wasn't unbeatable, even at 20 to 24 years old. There were several great fighters that could have had a good chance at beating Tyson at his best. He just didn't end up fighting them in the 80's.
@@donavonhoward114, the thing is here is that it’s quite unfortunate that he never faced them back then because now we can have the “what if” commentary. Most that faced him then all thought that they had what it took to defeat him until they got punched.
Dumbass Tyson fan boys DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT BOXING...!!! Holyfield kicked his ass , ya cretin...
I grew up watching Ali. Mr. Tyson was ferocious! Loved watching him! Turned out to be a damn good, caring man! thank you for the video!!!!
Love the respect they have after the fight
Don King ruined this man. Tremendous boxer and power puncher. One of the Greatest EVER
Blessed to have watched this mans boxing career and the 18 years after...Love this man
The best of the best Mike Tyson.
Absolutely the greatest boxer ever
Prime Mike Tyson was the best boxer ever like no one even come close. However he himself denied that ,it really shows how humble he is .
Amazing video. Thank you 🙏
Great little doc, thanks 👊🏼
God bless the dead rest in peace in paradise Mr. Cus D'Amato. A brilliant mind in the art of boxing. A teacher of this art of self defense and his teachings are legendary. My condolences to every relative and in-law of the late great Cus D'Amato.he is the while family and boxing's Guardian Angel.
One of the best that did it
he was the best the most feared most explosive unpredictable heavyweight to fight in our lifetime we all watch it for the carnage and he will always be the most ferocious the best champ to have the belt.
In that 9:20-10:00 range, the look on the ringside doctor's face was like that dude is finished. He jumped in that ring while Johnson was on the way to the canvas.
Thank you for posting this.
Mike was just awesome back in the day🤩💪🏼those of us that are old enough to see Mike blaze a trail in the HW division back in the 80s was a sight to behold! They’ll never be another like Mike Tyson🥊
Young tyson was scary good. Incredible power, and speed.
He was truly amazing.
Bro Cusust been one hell of a trainer. He trained a winner with a heart of a warrior.
I'm making a raise and fall of Mike Tyson video and using some of these clips.
Ya know what’s funny? Tyson isn’t even like a freak of nature when it comes to arm length or height but his punch strength from that left hook and uppercut is just absurd.
Also, he could throw combos with hellfire with each hand! If only Cus had lived longer, he would have protected and kept Tyson in check discipline-wise.
@@samfisher2306 I agree because that was cus D'Amato's prediction to be the youngest heavyweight champion of the world and one of the greatest boxers of all time. Cus D'Amato's prediction came true. To this day brotha Mike Tyson is still one of my favorite heavyweight fighters of all time. Some may disagree but I feel that way about brotha Mike.
Muhammad Ali predicted his wins Mike Tyson let his hands do the predicting in the ring. He can say that got him to become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and at a young age. That hasn't been broken that record since Mike became the youngest heavyweight champion when he did.
and great elusive defence
He had extremely fast twitch muscles. Cus always said he wanted a HW version of Henry Armstrong that possessed perpetual motion and he found exactly that with Mike. I've never seen another HW like him.
If Tyson didn't lose his trainer & be in prison for 3 year's, he would be the GOAT, period.
he is the goat
Cusdamato..was long beforr his time. He seen Champion in Tyson BEFORE the Olympic rounds, but before then..he seen a Champ in Floyd Patterson (1960's)..Patterson got pummled by Liston in back to back Championship fights..so Cus waited 16yrs to find the discipline of Patterson..and the Power of Liston, HE CREATED Tyson. And everything he said Tyson would be..came TRUE. S/O Cusdeamto 💪💯
Tyson had the fights won before they even started. Fighters avoided him like the plague
The best who ever did it MR. IRON MIKE TYSON....
Danny Long is back !!
Ah ah can't stop laughing
“Donnie Long IS back” -Donnie Long
Mike Tyson- Hold my beer.
When the opponent is down Mike don't dance over his body like a butterfly or make any other celebration gesture. Mike turns around and goes back to his corner. That's the true definition of being cool.
A lot of boxers do that lol
Mike Tyson, the real deal.
No bulshit, just heavy+powerful+super fast punches...
The best heavyweight fighter, in my opinion.
All my respect to you mstr Mike 🎩🎩🎩
Great Champion!!
The grim reaper. That uppercut was like walking into the spinning propeller of an aircraft.
Same with me can't get tied of watching him over and over
Mike was built like a machine transformed so. He's A Symbol of what a boxer should be like look like
He knocked out Holmes with that double Left hook too .
I remember watching this fight 1986 I was in a 7th grade.
i think the comment below is 100 percent accurate. Tyson, machine, terminator.
My guy, your vid was spectacular 💯 ever since the Tyson v Paul fight was announced I went and did my research on Tyson and got DAMN it’s crazy to see how far Tyson went, doesn’t matter if these fighters are “nobodies” like how a lot of people have been saying, take in account these heavyweight fighters like Spinx, Holmes, Berbick, which at their times were the greats got taken down by a youngster!
the greatest ever !
A legend Mike.
Ghanaians love u
Mike Tyson was a wrecking machine
