Listen I know everyone has their own path and hardship but to live thru what this own did. Ultimately beat himself and changed his life . Nothing but respect to the fullest .
If you take “Prime Mike Tyson, 87-89”, I would put him up against any Heavyweight that’s ever lived. I know if Mike doesn’t knock him out he will outbox him. His speed, power, timing, head movement and defensive capabilities were unmatched. When Cus D’Amato trained Tyson he took something from each of the greatest heavyweights and put that in Mike. Forever my Favorite Fighter! 💪🥊
@@OrangeUtan1 he knocked Buster out, ref just counted slow. You can test it with a stop watch while counting while Bustet is down as opposed to when Mike was down.
@@queensberryrulez5306not when Cus was around. Someone u live dying can change everything. He could’ve retired then but the warrior fought on. True legend
@@queensberryrulez5306yea he didn't even train for the lewis fight he was partying hard every day. Took the fight for money and to support his drug habit. And yes he is a legend try going on Google to see what legend means he is one. But what is for sure is you ain't. You ain't even half the man he is.
yeah.. true.. but what he meant was scared of people taking advantage of him, trying to betray him. Not scared of people physically. All that fear of people and anger at the same time, fueled his power in the rings and outside the rings.
No one didn’t want none of this man in his prime .People may talk now he is older and some offer to fight him (Jake Paul) but in the early 90s Tyson was pure terror .
@@XThirdEyeX Of course there is a chance you are right as it is all conjecture. Funny thing is as such a big fan of both, I hate to picture Ali getting whooped the way Mike did to all of his early opponents.
I once watch an interview in which Mike looked into the camera and told the interviewer, "you have to leave now". Instinctively I put the phone down and walked out of my own house, before realizing. 😂
I think I know the interview you're talking about, I saw it...I think it was about his daughter that died. I think Mike was about to breakdown in tears talking about it. 😖💔
LMAO you did that too? I grabbed a shovel though and when I got to the hills I just dug a hold and laid down and buried myself in it .......@@k1ngarthur290
When he was humble and small on the insults he was the perfect fighter with little to no flaws and was unstoppable for a long time,soon as he became disrespectful and egotistical he became less of a problem in the ring for some fighters. Mike Tyson one of the very best ever.
I ain't Gon lie, I cried after this fight. Mike got his ass beat! He wasn't even trying but he sold the shit out of it. I don't think he did a push up training for this fight.
@@Price70 Even if they had fought five years earlier, I still think Lewis wins it. Early 90s, not a chance, Mike would have been far too much for him, but from about 97 onwards, Lewis has him beat. It's a shame because you can't really compare them due to the fact they peaked at different times. Peak Tyson against peak Lewis would be an interesting match but it was an impossibility.
@@WildMorgan I agree. I wasn't giving any specific timeframes but since you brought it up. Mike was a shell of himself after prison. Even without Rooney in 89 when he KOd Bruno and Williams, and in 90 when he KOd Tillman and Stewart and then his wins over Ruddock in 91, he still had his speed, even if he didn't rely quite as much on his footwork and head movements. Still at 6'5 with an 84 inch reach, that's a lot for anyone, especially if you're 5'10 and 71 inch reach
it was over when Ali died. Not prison. Mike was even bigger coming out. He later stated that he was not prepared to die for a sport like Ali. Ali wanted to die at the end...Both locked up and faced prison. This guy is an anomaly.
For a while, because of intense training and lifestyle, he was definitely the best in his division. Very difficult if not impossible to keep up that regime that brought him from a street thug to the youngest heavyweight in the world. He began to slacken, take punches, lack focus and dedication. While others in the heavyweight division began to grow stronger, some with steroids, and the once soft-spoken rising-star Tyson began to toughen his persona to compensate for his diminished dedication and skills. But, those of us who grew up watching his ascent really get him and love and respect him, knowing what he’s been through.
I boxed when I was a teen. There was a ring in the middle of a little stadium, with several fights one after another. My legs were shaking like never, mostly because it was in front of a lot of people, and other boxers too. But once you're in there, it's just you and your opponent. No shaking, no fear. Just going for the win !
@@communicate17 but Tyson still wasn’t able to knock them out. So how would he able to ko a prime Ali who had one of the greatest chins in boxing history? So the only way of Tyson winning the fight is out so what now, win a decision against Ali? No chance
People who are in line or in the same league as others being considered the goats of their respective fields of dominance or expertise don't go out of their way to duck and Dodge specific Challengers, competitors, or opponents while those Challengers, competitors or opponents are in the prime of their career. People who are truly worthy of goat status don't wait until Prime competitors are well past their Prime to challenge them.
