@@user-uc7qb1su4e Alexander's wife (roxanne, aka Rashana) was an afghan woman. That's what he's referring to. And this is strongly documented in the region of afghanistan too. Western texts generally ignore the documentation from that region, even regarding Alexander's death. according to western literature he died of sickness, according to central asian/afghan history he died of an infection (or poisoning) from an arrow to his leg. The arrow to his leg was done by an afghan tribe who fought back against him. There's a whole lot in the history behind it, and what exactly happened is hard to say. 1 thing we know for certain though, Alexander's ties to the afghan people were very strong (to the point that kandahar province is named after him, there was a city of alexandria built in the region that still has buildings to this day, and many afghans are named Sikandar after him) and the afghan people were difficult to deal with. I'll finish off this rant with the following quote which some people attribute to alexander, “I am involved in the land of a leonine and brave people, where every foot of the ground is like a well of steel, confronting my soldier.

1:20 Mike Tyson is cultured ... (he is right) Historical facts = Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great. But who was this woman who is said to have astonished the Macedonian king with her beauty ? I will write based only on facts, that is, on the quotes of famous ancient authors, mainly Greek. ( For me there is one thing in history, which with the facts are not said ... ) According to Plutarch, Alexander was a descendant of Ajax through his father Neoptolemos and this is accepted without discussion. According to Justin, Philip married Olympias, daughter of Neoptolemos, king of the Molosses. All the authors thus agree on the fact that Alexander the Great was the grandson of a Molossian. For those who do not know this tribe (the Molossians), who were they, what territory did they occupy and how were they considered by the ancient authors ? Let us stop for a moment to know more about the tribe of the Molossians from which the mother of Alexander the Great came. To make it simple, the tribe of Molossians is in Epirus somewhere in the region of Chamerie on the back of Thesprotians who dominated the coastal part. In addition to this, the Kaons who were in the south of present-day Albania and who constituted three of the great tribes of Epirus. Historically, tribes like the Molossians or others who composed Epirus like the Kaons, the Thesprotians, the Paraue, the Antintans and others, are historically linked to the Illyrian (🇦🇱) culture or to a part of it. As Thucydides tells us about the events of the Peloponnesian War that involved both actually in reality Illyrians and Illyria itself, these tribes were commonly considered barbarian (non-Greek) tribes. Thucydides: - "Among the barbarians there were about 1,000 Kaons who ruled without a king. Along with the Kaons, the Thesprotians also participated and were also ruled without a king. There were also the MOLOSSIANS, the Atintants and the Paraues. ( HISTORY OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR ) All these tribes, mentioned by the historian of Athenian origin Thucydides for their participation in the famous Peloponnesian war in the 5th century B.C., are considered as barbarians, therefore not Greek! ( Thucydides II, 80- IV, 126 ) The Kaons, the Thesprotians of Chamerie, the Arintans and the Parauets constitute the backbone of what one called Epirus. Among them are of course the Molossians where are the roots of the family of the mother of Alexander the Great ! And Thucydides is not the only source which defines the Epirotes as non-Greeks. There are many others! According to the encyclopedia Basic Antiquity, composed of 86 volumes... Pauly Wissowa the Real "Encyclopedia Alterumswissenschaft" says that the Epirotes are of Illyrian origin 🇦🇱 and have strong links with the population of southern Italy! More concise on the issue, the only Nobel Prize in history 🎓 is none other than Theodor Mommsen author of the cycle "Corpus of Antiquity inscriptions" which says that: - "the brave Epirotes, the Albanians 🇦🇱 of antiquity supported with traditional loyalty the young and brave Pyrrhus or "the Eagle" as they called him " . Let us point out on this subject that the Albanians name themselves "Shqiptar", that is to say "sons or children of the eagle". The soldiers of Pyrrhus (3rd century BC / Epirote King), called their King "the Eagle" and that the latter retroqued them one day that they were his "children", so the Albanians are the children of the Eagle ... "Shqiptar = child of the Eagle .... " . (Pyrrhus was the cousin of Alexander the Great, of the Molossian tribe and himself an ambitious conqueror, Pyrrhus is one of the most formidable adversaries of the early days of ancient Rome). Lorenzo Braccesi (Professor of Greek History at the University of Venice, Italy, in 1986) tells us: - "Olympias was originally from Epirus, on the part of the father who was king of Epirus, on the part of the mother also and that Illyrian blood 🇦🇱 circulated in the family, there is no doubt. " ( 9,01- 9,15 . The true story of Alexander the great ... - Gjurmë Shqiptare ) That the Epirotes are or are not Illyrians is a discussion that, from an archaeological point of view, is resolved. The Epirotes and the Illyrians have the same culture, if we consider the Iron Age, the use of tombs, fortifications with several rows of walls, their material culture, the shape of the pots or the ornaments which are identical to those of Korça (current Albania) and religion. Not only ancient authors like Thucydides, Strabo and others have called the Epirotic tribes barbarians (non-Greek) but also later serious publications based on documents and archaeological findings point out the same thing. The Molosses, were one of the Illyrian tribes of Epirus from where came the mother of Alexander the Great Olympias daughter of the king and the sister . The Molosses, were one of the Illyrian tribes of Epirus from where came the mother of Alexander the Great Olympias daughter of the king and sister of another well known Illyrian prince "Alexander the Molossus". I believe that all or part of the strong character of Alexander comes exactly from his mother, from the house that also gave birth to Pyrrhus. The powerful role of women in Illyrian society has been documented by many authors, including those who today identify themselves as Greeks, such as Athenaeus and Theompope. Olympias' influence on her son Alexander was so great. She believed that her son had divine blood and that he was born to rule the greatest kingdom of all time. But the mother's family was not the only Illyrian family to which Alexander was affiliated, his link with the Illyrians was stronger than that!

Alexander also said to the man Diogenes, basically “if I weren’t me, I’d want to be you.” D replied, “if I were you, I’d want to be Diogenes also.”

The intelligence of this man is astounding to me. I was a kid in his prime. I was one of the millions of 8th graders boxing in the backfield after school because they wanted to be like the other Mike. Now as a grown man. With different goal and different ideas than my youth, he is yet again someone I wanna be like. Love u champ

But the mother's family was not the only Illyrian family to which Alexander was affiliated, his link with the Illyrians was stronger than that!

By the way the Ancient Macedonians are Barbaros (= Not Greeks) BASICALLY. The Macedonian aristocracy just Hellenized (Adopted the Greek culture) their people (Macedonian), because the Hellenic culture was the most popular like the English of today. Historical facts = Strabo (63 BC) tells us that Illyrians, Thracians, Bottians and Thesprotes shared the Macedonian territory (Tribes of Pelasgian origin 🇦🇱 ). Source: (Strabo, VII, Frg .n°.11) The Macedonians have just propagated the Hellenic culture and have adopted it little by little ... The ancient authors called the Macedonians Barbaros/non-Greeks... For example the great Thucydides... Example : Thucydides 📜 (II, 80- IV, 126) who qualified of Barbaros (not Greek) the MACEDONIANS, Thesprotes, Molosses, Châones Atintanes, Paravaiens, Orestiens etc!

Historical facts = The family of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. This last, according to the data, had a Macedonian father, but not his mother. She was called Eurydice and came from the tribe of "Lyncestides". Who was the grandmother on the side of the father of Alexander the Great? The mother of Philip is the daughter of the daughter Of Arrhabaeus, daughter of king Sirras, says Strabo. Plutarch is very detailed on this subject. He insists that although Eurydice is Illyrian (🇦🇱) and barbarian in every sense of the word, she was educated to help children. He says very clearly that she is Illyrian, and barbaric in every way. (Plutarch, De liberis educandis. p.69) Lyncestides from where came the mother of Philip II, were a tribe which extended not far from the lake of Ohrid, somewhere in the area of Manastir where the ruins of one of their most important cities are today. (Illyrian, no doubt. It is the last province that has a border with Macedonia) As for whether it was an Illyrian tribe, this is clearly proven by ancient historians and geographers, including Titus Livy, Strabo, as well as Pliny who lists many in detail in the fourth book of the collection of 37 works entitled "Natural History", not to mention the great ancient geographer "Claudius Ptolemy" who also classifies the Lyncestrae among the Illyrian (🇦🇱) tribes . And the later authors have the same attitude since on several occasions, they mention Eurydice, the mother of Philip II and the grandmother of Alexander, as being illyrian etc...

The difference between a conqueror and a normal person is a normal person is willing to concede at some point that they are wrong and they doubt their conviction. A conqueror KNOWS the world is a different place without them in it. A conqueror KNOWS they have the ability to carve the world into their image. Sometimes I wonder how many conquerors there are still in the world who have become subdued by society, but in a different time, they would own a part, or perhaps all of the world.

1:20 Mike Tyson is cultured ... (he is right) Historical facts = Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great. But who was this woman who is said to have astonished the Macedonian king with her beauty ? I will write based only on facts, that is, on the quotes of famous ancient authors, mainly Greek. ( For me there is one thing in history, which with the facts are not said ... ) According to Plutarch, Alexander was a descendant of Ajax through his father Neoptolemos and this is accepted without discussion. According to Justin, Philip married Olympias, daughter of Neoptolemos, king of the Molosses. All the authors thus agree on the fact that Alexander the Great was the grandson of a Molossian. For those who do not know this tribe (the Molossians), who were they, what territory did they occupy and how were they considered by the ancient authors ? Let us stop for a moment to know more about the tribe of the Molossians from which the mother of Alexander the Great came. To make it simple, the tribe of Molossians is in Epirus somewhere in the region of Chamerie on the back of Thesprotians who dominated the coastal part. In addition to this, the Kaons who were in the south of present-day Albania and who constituted three of the great tribes of Epirus. Historically, tribes like the Molossians or others who composed Epirus like the Kaons, the Thesprotians, the Paraue, the Antintans and others, are historically linked to the Illyrian (🇦🇱) culture or to a part of it. As Thucydides tells us about the events of the Peloponnesian War that involved both actually in reality Illyrians and Illyria itself, these tribes were commonly considered barbarian (non-Greek) tribes. Thucydides: - "Among the barbarians there were about 1,000 Kaons who ruled without a king. Along with the Kaons, the Thesprotians also participated and were also ruled without a king. There were also the MOLOSSIANS, the Atintants and the Paraues. ( HISTORY OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR ) All these tribes, mentioned by the historian of Athenian origin Thucydides for their participation in the famous Peloponnesian war in the 5th century B.C., are considered as barbarians, therefore not Greek! ( Thucydides II, 80- IV, 126 ) The Kaons, the Thesprotians of Chamerie, the Arintans and the Parauets constitute the backbone of what one called Epirus. Among them are of course the Molossians where are the roots of the family of the mother of Alexander the Great ! And Thucydides is not the only source which defines the Epirotes as non-Greeks. There are many others! According to the encyclopedia Basic Antiquity, composed of 86 volumes... Pauly Wissowa the Real "Encyclopedia Alterumswissenschaft" says that the Epirotes are of Illyrian origin 🇦🇱 and have strong links with the population of southern Italy! More concise on the issue, the only Nobel Prize in history 🎓 is none other than Theodor Mommsen author of the cycle "Corpus of Antiquity inscriptions" which says that: - "the brave Epirotes, the Albanians 🇦🇱 of antiquity supported with traditional loyalty the young and brave Pyrrhus or "the Eagle" as they called him " . Let us point out on this subject that the Albanians name themselves "Shqiptar", that is to say "sons or children of the eagle". The soldiers of Pyrrhus (3rd century BC / Epirote King), called their King "the Eagle" and that the latter retroqued them one day that they were his "children", so the Albanians are the children of the Eagle ... "Shqiptar = child of the Eagle .... " . (Pyrrhus was the cousin of Alexander the Great, of the Molossian tribe and himself an ambitious conqueror, Pyrrhus is one of the most formidable adversaries of the early days of ancient Rome). Lorenzo Braccesi (Professor of Greek History at the University of Venice, Italy, in 1986) tells us: - "Olympias was originally from Epirus, on the part of the father who was king of Epirus, on the part of the mother also and that Illyrian blood 🇦🇱 circulated in the family, there is no doubt. " ( 9,01- 9,15 . The true story of Alexander the great ... - Gjurmë Shqiptare ) That the Epirotes are or are not Illyrians is a discussion that, from an archaeological point of view, is resolved. The Epirotes and the Illyrians have the same culture, if we consider the Iron Age, the use of tombs, fortifications with several rows of walls, their material culture, the shape of the pots or the ornaments which are identical to those of Korça (current Albania) and religion. Not only ancient authors like Thucydides, Strabo and others have called the Epirotic tribes barbarians (non-Greek) but also later serious publications based on documents and archaeological findings point out the same thing. The Molosses, were one of the Illyrian tribes of Epirus from where came the mother of Alexander the Great Olympias daughter of the king and the sister . The Molosses, were one of the Illyrian tribes of Epirus from where came the mother of Alexander the Great Olympias daughter of the king and sister of another well known Illyrian prince "Alexander the Molossus". I believe that all or part of the strong character of Alexander comes exactly from his mother, from the house that also gave birth to Pyrrhus. The powerful role of women in Illyrian society has been documented by many authors, including those who today identify themselves as Greeks, such as Athenaeus and Theompope. Olympias' influence on her son Alexander was so great. She believed that her son had divine blood and that he was born to rule the greatest kingdom of all time.

curiosity, introspection, and humility are enough for me to respect his quest.

Diogenes the cynic. He was a homeless philosopher who lived in a tub on the street in Athens. Alexander heard the stories about him and decided to meet him one day while Diogenes was sunbathing. Alexander asked Diogenes if there was anything he could provide him with. This was the quote Tyson was talking about to which Diogenes replied, to step aside so that the rays of sun would not be blocked by Alexander. Point being, Diogenes was satisfied with the simple necessities of life and not the overindulgence of material items. Alexander was quoted as saying, "If I were not Alexander in this life, I would like to be Diogenes." And I think Tyson is correct it does seem that Alexander became an alcoholic. During a drunken rage, Alexander actually drove a spear through his own bodyguard, Cleitus the Black who literally saved his life in the first battle against the Persians at the Granicus river. There was a lot of tension amongst the old guard who served under Alexander's father, Cleitus being one of them. During this particular scene it appears Alexander was likely boasting about his greatness and accomplishments, locker room talk etc. and Cleitus called him out reminding Alexander that it was his Father who set Macedonia on its path to greatness. Everyone was obviously drunk and with free tongues, but this argument escalated and in a drunken rage Alexander ended up driving a spear through Cleitus who was equally angry. Alexander would instantly regret his action. Horrified at what he had done, he reportedly sobbed over his friend and ally for three days before bringing himself back together.

Tyson has come along way in life. It's fascinating to see him at different time periods of his life.

According to Justin, Philip married Olympias, daughter of Neoptolemos, king of the Molosses. All the authors thus agree on the fact that Alexander the Great was the grandson of a Molossian. For those who do not know this tribe (the Molossians), who were they, what territory did they occupy and how were they considered by the ancient authors ? Let us stop for a moment to know more about the tribe of the Molossians from which the mother of Alexander the Great came. To make it simple, the tribe of Molossians is in Epirus somewhere in the region of Chamerie on the back of Thesprotians who dominated the coastal part. In addition to this, the Kaons who were in the south of present-day Albania and who constituted three of the great tribes of Epirus. Historically, tribes like the Molossians or others who composed Epirus like the Kaons, the Thesprotians, the Paraue, the Antintans and others, are historically linked to the Illyrian (🇦🇱) culture or to a part of it. As Thucydides tells us about the events of the Peloponnesian War that involved both actually in reality Illyrians and Illyria itself, these tribes were commonly considered barbarian (non-Greek) tribes. Thucydides: - "Among the barbarians there were about 1,000 Kaons who ruled without a king. Along with the Kaons, the Thesprotians also participated and were also ruled without a king. There were also the MOLOSSIANS, the Atintants and the Paraues. ( HISTORY OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR ) All these tribes, mentioned by the historian of Athenian origin Thucydides for their participation in the famous Peloponnesian war in the 5th century B.C., are considered as barbarians, therefore not Greek! ( Thucydides II, 80- IV, 126 ) The Kaons, the Thesprotians of Chamerie, the Arintans and the Parauets constitute the backbone of what one called Epirus. Among them are of course the Molossians where are the roots of the family of the mother of Alexander the Great ! And Thucydides is not the only source which defines the Epirotes as non-Greeks. There are many others! According to the encyclopedia Basic Antiquity, composed of 86 volumes... Pauly Wissowa the Real "Encyclopedia Alterumswissenschaft" says that the Epirotes are of Illyrian origin 🇦🇱 and have strong links with the population of southern Italy! More concise on the issue, the only Nobel Prize in history 🎓 is none other than Theodor Mommsen author of the cycle "Corpus of Antiquity inscriptions" which says that: - "the brave Epirotes, the Albanians 🇦🇱 of antiquity supported with traditional loyalty the young and brave Pyrrhus or "the Eagle" as they called him " . Let us point out on this subject that the Albanians name themselves "Shqiptar", that is to say "sons or children of the eagle". The soldiers of Pyrrhus (3rd century BC / Epirote King), called their King "the Eagle" and that the latter retroqued them one day that they were his "children", so the Albanians are the children of the Eagle ... "Shqiptar = child of the Eagle .... " . (Pyrrhus was the cousin of Alexander the Great, of the Molossian tribe and himself an ambitious conqueror, Pyrrhus is one of the most formidable adversaries of the early days of ancient Rome). Lorenzo Braccesi (Professor of Greek History at the University of Venice, Italy, in 1986) tells us: - "Olympias was originally from Epirus, on the part of the father who was king of Epirus, on the part of the mother also and that Illyrian blood 🇦🇱 circulated in the family, there is no doubt. " ( 9,01- 9,15 . The true story of Alexander the great ... - Gjurmë Shqiptare ) That the Epirotes are or are not Illyrians is a discussion that, from an archaeological point of view, is resolved. The Epirotes and the Illyrians have the same culture, if we consider the Iron Age, the use of tombs, fortifications with several rows of walls, their material culture, the shape of the pots or the ornaments which are identical to those of Korça (current Albania) and religion. Not only ancient authors like Thucydides, Strabo and others have called the Epirotic tribes barbarians (non-Greek) but also later serious publications based on documents and archaeological findings point out the same thing. The Molosses, were one of the Illyrian tribes of Epirus from where came the mother of Alexander the Great Olympias daughter of the king and the sister . The Molosses, were one of the Illyrian tribes of Epirus from where came the mother of Alexander the Great Olympias daughter of the king and sister of another well known Illyrian prince "Alexander the Molossus". I believe that all or part of the strong character of Alexander comes exactly from his mother, from the house that also gave birth to Pyrrhus. The powerful role of women in Illyrian society has been documented by many authors, including those who today identify themselves as Greeks, such as Athenaeus and Theompope. Olympias' influence on her son Alexander was so great. She believed that her son had divine blood and that he was born to rule the greatest kingdom of all time. But the mother's family was not the only Illyrian family to which Alexander was affiliated, his link with the Illyrians was stronger than that!

By the way the Ancient Macedonians are Barbaros (= Not Greeks) BASICALLY. The Macedonian aristocracy just Hellenized (Adopted the Greek culture) their people (Macedonian), because the Hellenic culture was the most popular like the English of today. Historical facts = Strabo (63 BC) tells us that Illyrians, Thracians, Bottians and Thesprotes shared the Macedonian territory (Tribes of Pelasgian origin 🇦🇱 ). Source: (Strabo, VII, Frg .n°.11) The Macedonians have just propagated the Hellenic culture and have adopted it little by little ... The ancient authors called the Macedonians Barbaros/non-Greeks... For example the great Thucydides... Example : Thucydides 📜 (II, 80- IV, 126) who qualified of Barbaros (not Greek) the MACEDONIANS, Thesprotes, Molosses, Châones Atintanes, Paravaiens, Orestiens etc! Moreover it is not the only one, far from there ....

Historical facts = The family of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great. This last, according to the data, had a Macedonian father, but not his mother. She was called Eurydice and came from the tribe of "Lyncestides". Who was the grandmother on the side of the father of Alexander the Great? The mother of Philip is the daughter of the daughter Of Arrhabaeus, daughter of king Sirras, says Strabo. Plutarch is very detailed on this subject. He insists that although Eurydice is Illyrian (🇦🇱) and barbarian in every sense of the word, she was educated to help children. He says very clearly that she is Illyrian, and barbaric in every way. (Plutarch, De liberis educandis. p.69) Lyncestides from where came the mother of Philip II, were a tribe which extended not far from the lake of Ohrid, somewhere in the area of Manastir where the ruins of one of their most important cities are today. (Illyrian, no doubt. It is the last province that has a border with Macedonia) As for whether it was an Illyrian tribe, this is clearly proven by ancient historians and geographers, including Titus Livy, Strabo, as well as Pliny who lists many in detail in the fourth book of the collection of 37 works entitled "Natural History", not to mention the great ancient geographer "Claudius Ptolemy" who also classifies the Lyncestrae among the Illyrian (🇦🇱) tribes . And the later authors have the same attitude since on several occasions, they mention Eurydice, the mother of Philip II and the grandmother of Alexander, as being illyrian etc... Here is what Demosthene says to us about Philip II of Macedonia (father of Alexander the Great): - "And yet, as regards Philip and his conduct, they do not feel that, although he is not Greek and that he is not related at all to the Greeks..." Source : (The Third Philippic) By Demosthenes (384-322 BC)

Mike Tyson interviews have been amongst my all time favourites, he has accumulated wisdom .

“Lennox (Lewis) is a conqueror? No. I’m Alexander. He’s no Alexander. I’m the best ever. There’s never been anybody as ruthless. I’m Sonny Liston. I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s no one like me. I’m from their cloth. There’s no one that can match me. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable. And I’m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah.”

They conquered the world, those around them, and they instilled fear in millions. But they never conquered themselves. I think about that quote, out of 100 men in a war, 10 don’t belong, 80 are targets. 9 are fighters, and they make the battle. But one is a warrior. Mike is that one warrior. And Cus saw it before anyone ever thought about it. Mike to this day is in awe at the fact that Cus say something Mike didn’t know he had. You’re the greatest Mike. I love you.

Ok...Let me check you right there.1 For one thing, he grew up rough af. Despite growing up the way he did when he started boxing in his teens you'd notice when he knocked people out, there were a few times he tried to help them up after they were counted out. Humble af because despite all the violence he was accustomed to, he clearly wanted to give a shit more but giving a shit before boxing got you in bad situations. All he did was praise people and other boxers. Then something happened that happens to everyone in life but some have it happen at the worst possible moment. Someone who helped that him understand being humble died. D'Amato his trainer. He was a huge influence on Mike. Hes still winning but without that force for good mike needed. He was stil in his teens. Money comes in, which he never had, drugs, everyone did cocaine in the 80s, start hanging around with the wrong people who just want to use you, say only positive things about you and your still a 19 year old kid knocking grown men tf out, cocaine waiting on you in the dressing room with women in the limo. He hecame arrogant, prideful, angrier while listening to people who didnt give one f*** about him and most people start believing you cant be f***ed with if your constantly told that. Got knocked out by a basic no name in what should and would have been just another fight had he been kept on the right path. Then the 90s turned into what they did. Go watch interviews of him in the 80s, as a kid. Still immature as we all are but clearly didn't want to hurt anyone nor be arrogant because he was none of those things. Shit went sideways, and it was easy for him to fall back into the life he had before boxing. Can't imagine to the degree I would have f***ed up at some point being a millionaire watched by millions at 19 years old with people lying to me so they can use me on drugs everyday. The Mike Tyson in this interview is the Mike Tyson the teenager with 100 years of wisdom condensed becausehes experienced the highest peak and the lowest valley and everywhere in between...He's a good dude of that I have no question and I don't think that about most famous, rich, in the spotlight people the world over.

Joe is such a good person to chat with cuz he asks the right questions to trigger that recall, gettin to the crux. Mike is real af ans still pleasant. Tempered men. Respect.

The man continues to enlighten me...unlike the foolish people who have tried to knock him down. They always paint him as a fool, but have no idea themselves.

Two of my favorite people walking on this planet in the same room. This was an awesome interview.

This man is far more than a legendary boxer - he is also an inspiration to achieve success .

Mike Tyson is on point regarding the mindset of the conquerors and the importance of conquering oneself instead of the exterior world which only result on pain and suffering to others while the conqueror just feeds his ego only to realize the error of his ways and ask for forgiveness at the end after realizing the error of his ways 🙏🏻

Mike Tyson is such a prolific thinker that some of the questions joe ask him, mike is answering joe before he can even finish and the answer is so deep and articulate and profound! You can tell mike Tyson truly takes these stories and pick them apart thread by thread and then dissects each individual thread to the point of a complete understanding! It’s really amazing

ABSOLUTELY AGREE 10,000%.

Mike has always been an intellectual. We were just not paying attention.

intellectuals and regular folk can be as arrogant as world-class boxers in their prime, but all of us, as Mike shows, can go beyond the confines of our Ego, and be humbled by the Real.. full respect for Tyson

Mike has always been a conscious person. In my experience, when your young and developing you may be aware of your true self and sometimes you can become lost before you realize it and act outside of your character. But those experiences make you a stronger person.

Wow. What an interesting interview. I could listen to Mike discuss conquerors of the past all day.

Mike Tyson’s character development insane. truly a great inspiration

The crazy thing is as a young man i was so taken with mike because of fighting and later in life im so fascinated by his brain and just his human experience

Tyson has become such a deep person. It’s amazing.

I never thought I’d hear Mike Tyson say the name “Belisarius” glorious

GREATNEZZ iz not in any gender or color itz character

You can hear Mike breathing heavy and being super-passionate about this subject. Nothing like looking back and learning from history. Respect. 💯

I love listening to iron mike Tyson. man straight up spits words of wisdom.

Just like Mike wanted to know about the conquerors - I had the burning desire to know about Mike the man himself . Ever since 20 yrs. I ve read his books, his life, his approach to boxing, life ,cus,..Because i ALWAYS knew there is so much more depth to the man - than what meets the eye. It is only proved stronger every day. Mike is humanity itself.
