according to joe frazIers book I think it said Marvis ad a few injuries that ment his career wouldn't go on much longer anyway. because I was like you I couldn't understand it
Can anyone just take a moment to admire Tyson for going to see his opponet after such scary knock out?. Tyson eventually became a person who a lot of people despised but during his early years, yes, he was a trully killing machine but a gentleman also. What a fighter....honestly....what a fighter. If I knew him nowadays I for sure would take my hat off and shake his hand with a lot of respect.
same happened to me, we got up in the middle of the night, dran beer and just when the bell rang i had to go to the bathroom, when i returned the fight was over, omg.
Tyson is a living legend in boxing history, I remember watching his fights as a kid. This dude killed it every time. Too bad heavyweights these days are boring.
Love that dude in the back jumping up and down. He jumped up immediately after the first uppercut landed, because he already knew it was over, and you know he bet on a 30 second or less KO LOL.
For all who say George Foreman would have beat Mike, of course its very possible. But then it is also very possible Mike would have beat George, Tyson in his prime was Speed and Power. George was power and had the height advantage,but Tyson's speed may have well made the difference.
+Jimmy Logan Foreman would have been too powerful for Tyson.. Meaning, Tyson was quick and powerful, but he had a glass chin. Foreman in his prime took on very solid punches such as Ken Norton and made very short work of them. I think Foreman's strength is that 82 inch reach, and he's a very solid puncher.
+Ryan Bertram Dude your ignorance is painful, if there was a single unquestionable quality possessed by Mike Tyson it would be his iron chin. Iron ain't a nickname you give to a glass cannon. It took lennox lewis a number of rounds to put an inactive hobbled mike out of there. Fuck, he brawled with motherfucking razor ruddock post douglas.
***** I'm a fan of Mike Tyson, but the power, reach, size, and chin of George Foreman would have been too much for him. George could knock people out with glancing blows.
Tyson won but struggled against the tallest of opponents such as bone crusher smith and Tony Tucker. They both went the distance. He would have struggled against Foreman as well and may have been knocked out
Imagine Joe Frazier witnessing how his son getting KOed. I remember when I was a teenager, my senior brother got KOed. It saddened me so much, I felt the pain he was going through several days after the bout. It wasn't just physical, he looked gutted completely.

I watched the Tyson - Marvis Frazier fight on TV in 1986. Joe Frazier was in his son’s corner and after Marvis was brought to his feet and was being revived, Joe Frazier was captured by the cameras holding Marvis and saying “that’s ok baby.” Later, while still in the ring, Joe Frazier was interviewed and he stated words to the effect that “I’m going to have to put the gloves back on again to see what this boy [Tyson] is all about.”
Good story. Didn't know this part. I was 9 or 10 at this point, and we watched Tyson fights at my house then, but I dont remember that part... probably bc all the adults were going crazy, drinking, and carrying on... Boy I remember we got that Spinks fight on PayPerView.. it was kind of a new thing at the time. We paid like 100 for it I think. It lasted like a minute and a half. We had all the food and everything... at least there are undercards, but you didn't blink during a Tyson fight in the 80s, early 90s, basically before he went to jail..
@@IronBallsMcNeese Michael Spinks later said that he knew he was in trouble when Mike Tyson punched holes in the wall in his dressing room before the fight while waiting to be called into the ring. You are right ... one dared not blink while watching a Tyson fight!
Tyson would have destroyed prime Joe in 3 rounds max. They were extremely similar styles but Tyson was better than Joe at every boxing aspect other than mental toughness/heart. Even Frazier's best attribute: his left hook, wasn't nearly as good as Mike's.
After this fight, Joe Frazier said to his son Marvis "Atleast you tried son, better luck next time" And then Marvis replied, "easy for you to say dad, you never got in the ring with Mike Tyson"
Just being in the ring himself was like being Mike. They were both fucking beasts. I don't know how they would have got along with your old friend Mark Hunt though?
When someone's mother runs into the ring in terror that person has truly been beat to a pulp! Love Tyson or hate him you'd have to agree he was a beast in his prime. I hear all of the criticism about Tyson's skill etc but this man was usually the smaller shorter man in the ring & he still damn near killed his opponents...
Why did Smokin Joe think this was a good idea😂 Mike might not has been as hard a puncher as George but he was definitely more devastating a puncher and more devastating a boxer!
@@bigpapi6688 not more devastating boxer, George would have beat him pre ali and post retirement. His style to push people then punch em was legal. It was too good and he held hands on people so they couldn't get close. Everyone that broke down Tyson did it by holding him off except buster Douglas. That was all determination that made him win
With his super-strong upper cut, his height which is relatively short in his class has given him a distinct advantage to let him zero in on his opponent's chin
Yeah, what are you supposed to do? He's too fast to keep at a distance and too strong to fight inside. If you jab, he dodges it and gets inside. If you cover up, he punches your guts into the seats until your hands drop. Nothing works because he's better than you at everything. Even his short reach, which would normally be a weakness, is turned into a strength.
IN MY VIEW I never tire watching Mike Tyson box. Equally amazing to me is how the Baddest Man on the Planet has a side to him that causes him to go to his opponent genuinely concerned about them being hurt. How can anyone not love Mike Tyson.
I seriously think in his prime Tyson would've beaten anyone. His defence was underrated and well his offensive skills were on a whole new level, not only did they have power, but they came in combinations, just one after the other, you don't defend against that sort of assault
@@grantfuller6123 it would of been the same result in his prime hence why he didnt fight them until an excuse could be made like "mike wasnt in his prime"
Well, Fury looked cold dead in his 1st fight against Wilder after what was supposed to be pure KO. What happened next we all know. So even if the fighter looks dead, I believe it should still receive 10 count before declaring the defeat.
In his defense, Marvis only lost 2 matches to Holmes and Tyson. He also beat James Tillis (who was 31-5 at the time) and "Bonecrusher" Smith, both of these guys had enough skill to not get knocked out by Tyson in the opening minutes and went to decision. In either case, I don't think Marvis was a failure as a boxer, he just lost to the 2 best of his era, one at his absolute prime (Tyson in '86), and another still in prime condition (Holmes in '83).
Marvis Frazier was too small to be a top ranked Heavyweight, even in the early to mid 1980's. He would've had more success . at high levels as a Cruiserweight. His father wanted him fighting in that division though, I'm sure.

u look at this and conclude. Tyson fought an old frazier..frazier shouldn't have even fought at this time. Tyson fought lot of boxers who were old already..holy field n Lewis kicked tysons as coz they were big but also they fought throughout n Tyson was very good fighter n also in his prime when got kicked by them both.
Wow wow he was on point an absolute Animal unbelievable machine please take me back in Time Machine 70s and 80s early 90s best off amateur and Professional boxing elite
Remember Lewis would have also been much younger. Tyson lost to boxers, who out boxed him. Holyfield stood toe to toe with Tyson and look who won. Not Tyson my dear.
One of the scariest knock outs in boxing history! I watched this on TV and many people thought Tyson killed him. That uppercut looked like it almost decapitated Marvis Frazier's head. Glad Frazier was ok. This version of Mike Tyson would have beaten anybody in history!
Marvis was born and raised in a life of comfort and privilege. Psychologically, he never had that killer instinct that comes with a life of abject poverty and a degree of childhood trauma that his dad Joe and Iron Mike were cursed (blessed?) with.
I feel bad for whoever was sitting behind the guy in the white shirt because he jumped up after the first uppercut. People are so selfish. Those were not the cheap seats.
That is literally THE fastest KO I have ever seen! It's over as soon as it started. I can't imagine the reaction of the people who payed the top seats for this very short fight. Felt like a waste. Incredible. Poor Marvis. Came in the wrong place. Iron Mike is the GOAT.
In the history of boxing the world is yet to see such an offensive boxer like Iron Mike Tyson. Kid dynamite I salute your courage and loyalty to the game. The excitement that comes with watching you do your thing is out of this world and second to non. No other boxer...
they should be arrested. They are responsable for thousands of dead people in Ukraina. Stupid pricks thought there is no difference between politics and boxing ring
I love this fight, because the way Joe Frazier stood in the ring and mean mugged Tyson while standing beside his son. It gave the feel that it was Tyson versus the world, as if Tyson was in there all alone and he slaughtered the dude.
You ever read Fraziers biography? He said Mike Tyson in his prime was twice as intimidating than Foreman and looked like he was from another planet. he never saw anything like him. I think Joe was glad it wasn't him getting in the ring. I could see fear for his son in those eyes.
What's funny is Joe Frazier fought Muhammad Ali, years and years later Mike Tyson beats up Frazier's son. Buster Mathis fought Ali, Tyson beats his son up as well. Leon Spinks beats a war torn Ali, Tyson beats up his brother Leon Spinks. Larry Holmes beats up a thyroid pill taking Ali, Mike Tyson fucks up Holmes 5 years later. And last but not least Trevor Berbick fights and beats a parkinson's Ali, Tyson eats Berbick for dinner. Mike was a Ali fan and looked up to him. He is a Muslim like Ali and myself :)
Exactly 30 years ago Tyson was a bad motherfucker. This was Tyson at his peak and I have a hard time thinking any heavyweight would stop him between this time and 1988. He was at his athletic peak and his work ethic was unparalleled.
George Foreman was scary in the mid 70s, so scary people thought he was going to literally murder Muhammad Ali in the ring. He lost of course but he was frightening... Prime Foreman vs Prime Tyson would be the matchup of the two most feared men in boxing history.
I think George would have beaten Mike although Tyson fought like Joe Frazier he seemed so much more explosive so perhaps one of those uppercuts would connect and push George back.
I was at this fight in AC and I had just sat in my seat (comped from Golden Nugget hotel/casino) and it was over, real quick… Frazier had no business being in the ring with Tyson 👍👍
+Derek Perkins i don't know about that if tyson would have kicked bruce ass i know tyson has the weight advantage but he's a boxer bruce is the father of mma the pre cursor to mma and the ufc two completely different styles
aaron pryor Tyson was my all time favourite heavyweight and an absolute beast but Bruce is on another planet where it comes to speed, power, reflexes and sheer pound for pound punches/kicks and let's not forget intelligence. So aaron.....Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. Be water my friend ;).
Joe Frazier: Imagine you and Mike Tyson in his prime, that would be crazy. Marvis Frazier: Yeah, it would be a war but I would beat him. *Fast forward to this video*
The Clays (Muhammad Ali's father) are Black descendants of the Clay family from which comes Henry Clay. In the family many of the men were named Cassius Marcellus Clay, Henry or Louis. They were the leading landowning and political families of the Louisville region of Kentucky.
Interesting! I never made the connection. Henry Clay, like Ali, was a Kentuckian. You think I'd have figured that out. Henry Clay was a paradox; a slave holding southerner who nonetheless thought it immoral. He also strove to save the union, one of the few southerners to do so.
Thank God this match had a referee with enough sense and compassion to know when to stop a fight. If Marvis had been able to beat the count and get up, he might have gotten killed.
@@1FaithHopeandLove I know it pretty well, i was in my 20's at the best of Tyson, nevetheless,never have seen a boxer destroying his contender the way Tyson did, hece, Tyson the destroyer

Except for Tyrell Biggs!!!
And Mike Spinks.
Jack dempsey did it also and is tysons idol.
Most of them* other then the ones he had a deep dislike for :)
Like Mitch Green.
Frazier was out before he hit the ground. Tyson was devastating
Marvis really got pulverized in this one he was out cold and ya know felt punchy drunk for hours after i kind of felt one before
Uppercut most of his knockouts were uppercuts
He could have killed him
He toyed with him before he totalled him.
threw all the finishing shots from southpaw, too
30 years later, I'm still wondering why Joe put his kid in that ring with Tyson.......!
Marvis was good, but he got pushed too quickly. First was his lose to Larry Holmes and then this.
Marvis had been a naughty boy and this was daddies way of punishment.
Recognition and money. He lost the fight but he will get notoriety for fighting Iron Mike Tyson.
scatman44
for money
according to joe frazIers book I think it said Marvis ad a few injuries that ment his career wouldn't go on much longer anyway. because I was like you I couldn't understand it
One of the worst mismatches in history. Marvis couldn't have beaten Mike with a baseball bat.
+Anti Slaver Most fighters tyson fought were taller than him and heavier..
bobzani marvis may as well have been beaten with the baseball bat, end result is the same
No "beast mode" its "Tyson Mode"
maybe not but if he got a couple of good swings in i would be happy with that
He might have stood a chance if he had a Gun..Might, maybe. Probably not.

After the first hit he was stunned and knocked out, then 4 more punches after that, Tyson pushed him up to hit him more.
Even Tyson is scared of his own savage power.
A gentleman who told reporters he would fuck them till they loved him 😂
This is where i learned never go to the bathroom when the bell rings in a Mike Tyson fight. I missed the fight!

Why would you have a bath while watching a boxing bout?
Maaaan. Getting yourself cornered at the ropes by Mike Tyson must be so terrifying. I can't imagine myself in that situation. Great fighter.

Unbelievable power !
That is literally THE fastest KO I have ever seen! It's over as soon as it started. I can't imagine the reaction of the people who payed the top seats for this very short fight. Felt like a waste. Incredible.
Poor Marvis. Came in the wrong place. Iron Mike is the GOAT.
Ppl bought tickets knowing the fight will be over soon😂
I would imagine that they would remember that night for the rest of their lives.Witnessing an execution!
wow..my laptop's volume was down, but I still heard that uppercut loud and clear! Frightening!
In the history of boxing the world is yet to see such an offensive boxer like Iron Mike Tyson. Kid dynamite I salute your courage and loyalty to the game. The excitement that comes with watching you do your thing is out of this world and second to non. No other boxer...
Aki Chukwuma Okoye you've never watched Rocky Marciano's fights have you?
Not just scary power, but his speed for a 220lb man was ridiculous.
0:34 Tyson looked like a monster here. Scary shit
That was vicious!
Awesome , greatest fighter ever, he's the man.
Just think, this fight was on ABC Wide World of Sports Free of Charge!
Yes, that's what I remember. Thanks for posting.
The KLITSCKHO brothers would never defeated Tyson in his prime! They re just good boxers, not boxing legends!
they should be arrested. They are responsable for thousands of dead people in Ukraina. Stupid pricks thought there is no difference between politics and boxing ring
Freddie Roach said prime Wlad hit harder than prime Mike. And the man sure knows more about boxing than you and me.
Tyson couldn't even beat Holyfield!!
Vicious upper cut I've seen in my life
Imagine going thru so much training for a 20 second fight 😳
At least the training helps make those quick fights so quick.
Tyson is responsible for a lot of boxers to retire early.
I love this fight, because the way Joe Frazier stood in the ring and mean mugged Tyson while standing beside his son. It gave the feel that it was Tyson versus the world, as if Tyson was in there all alone and he slaughtered the dude.
You ever read Fraziers biography? He said Mike Tyson in his prime was twice as intimidating than Foreman and looked like he was from another planet. he never saw anything like him. I think Joe was glad it wasn't him getting in the ring. I could see fear for his son in those eyes.
What's funny is Joe Frazier fought Muhammad Ali, years and years later Mike Tyson beats up Frazier's son. Buster Mathis fought Ali, Tyson beats his son up as well. Leon Spinks beats a war torn Ali, Tyson beats up his brother Leon Spinks. Larry Holmes beats up a thyroid pill taking Ali, Mike Tyson fucks up Holmes 5 years later. And last but not least Trevor Berbick fights and beats a parkinson's Ali, Tyson eats Berbick for dinner.
Mike was a Ali fan and looked up to him. He is a Muslim like Ali and myself :)
GamerzDailyFix Tyson fought, and beat Leon Spinks' brother Michael.
Exactly 30 years ago Tyson was a bad motherfucker. This was Tyson at his peak and I have a hard time thinking any heavyweight would stop him between this time and 1988. He was at his athletic peak and his work ethic was unparalleled.
George Foreman was scary in the mid 70s, so scary people thought he was going to literally murder Muhammad Ali in the ring. He lost of course but he was frightening... Prime Foreman vs Prime Tyson would be the matchup of the two most feared men in boxing history.
+Ricky T.P.B Foreman was never really the same after that loss either
@Cryer24597 ahaha
He got stopped !!!!
I think George would have beaten Mike although Tyson fought like Joe Frazier he seemed so much more explosive so perhaps one of those uppercuts would connect and push George back.
The greatest heavyweight ever!!!PERIOD!!!!
Not even the best of his generation. Holyfield beat him twice and Lewis beat him also. Both of them had far better careers than Tyson.
@@michaelmilken3835 THEY DIDNT EVEN FIGHT HIM IN HIS PRIME!!! GET OUT OF HERE HATER!!!!
@@wendyedwindeleon4100 Holyfield and Lewis were both older than Tyson.
I was at this fight in AC and I had just sat in my seat (comped from Golden Nugget hotel/casino) and it was over, real quick… Frazier had no business being in the ring with Tyson 👍👍
Marvis originally just intended on winning the Olympics and then moving on from boxing entirely.
Tysons my favorite fighter, BUT Bruce Lee was NOT a gimmick! True warrior!!
Derek Perkins I second that.
Bruce lee wasnt a skinny actor he was a trained fighter first 😒😒😒
+Derek Perkins i don't know about that if tyson would have kicked bruce ass i know tyson has the weight advantage but he's a boxer bruce is the father of mma the pre cursor to mma and the ufc two completely different styles
aaron pryor
Says it all when someone writes lol on the end of their comment, i rest my case.
aaron pryor
Tyson was my all time favourite heavyweight and an absolute beast but Bruce is on another planet where it comes to speed, power, reflexes and sheer pound for pound punches/kicks and let's not forget intelligence. So aaron.....Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. Be water my friend ;).
Joe Frazier: Imagine you and Mike Tyson in his prime, that would be crazy.
Marvis Frazier: Yeah, it would be a war but I would beat him.
*Fast forward to this video*
Poetry in motion .. 😊 I'm glad Marvin Frazier was ok..
Mike Tyson is the best boxer ever to have lived
Frazier didn't go straight down after the first KO punch. He took at least two more KO punches before finally getting to the canvas.
Yep. Knocked out three times before he hit the damn floor.
I remember watching this live on TV. Tyson at the height of his career.
id like to see him fight joe in his prime
Absolute dominance, he actually bowed powerless before him
Ha thats funny but yep sure enough, bowed to the better man
I like how you can see Marvin's legs react an try to get him out of the way of the punches after he's been sitting down for about 5 seconds.
I grabbed a beer from the fridge as the bell rang and the fight was over before I sat down.
Around that time?
What happened I missed it?!😂
The Clays (Muhammad Ali's father) are Black descendants of the Clay family from which comes Henry Clay. In the family many of the men were named Cassius Marcellus Clay, Henry or Louis. They were the leading landowning and political families of the Louisville region of Kentucky.
Thats why Frazier called Ali a half-breed.
Interesting! I never made the connection. Henry Clay, like Ali, was a Kentuckian. You think I'd have figured that out. Henry Clay was a paradox; a slave holding southerner who nonetheless thought it immoral. He also strove to save the union, one of the few southerners to do so.
Thank God this match had a referee with enough sense and compassion to know when to stop a fight. If Marvis had been able to beat the count and get up, he might have gotten killed.
The referee could really shown compassion and stopped the fight as soon as the bell rang. Would have saved Marvis even faster
Dude took 3 KO punches before collapsing lol. What a fury of punches.
Never insult " Iron Mike "..
Light Jokes ok. Mike enjoys Laughing..
Tyson the destroyer
No, "Iron"Mike was his name - "The Destroyer" was Alex Stewart.
@@1FaithHopeandLove I know it pretty well, i was in my 20's at the best of Tyson, nevetheless,never have seen a boxer destroying his contender the way Tyson did, hece, Tyson the destroyer
Ok @@ricardomaccotta6367.
"Stop acting like Tyson was the same man after the trainer died."
Questions: What year did Cus D'Amato die in?
What year did Tyson become heavyweight champ in?
The argument is mainly about Mike leaving Kevin Rooney, not Cus dying
Lmao, someone's upset about Frazier losing
Whos here...after Tyson announced he would fight Roy Jones Jr
Coldplay:
"My father said never give up son"
Me:
"Fuck that, I give up" 😂
Can we appreciate that guy on the background with a purple shirt of his quick reaction after mike's first uppercut?
I actually had Marvis ahead on points at the time of the knockout.
I truly laughed out loud. Thankyou
