No he was not a genius. Cus D'Amato was a boxing genius, Mike was a gifted physical specimen who Cus perfected. When under Cus's control he was virtually unbeatable, when Cus died and he started making his own decisions, he was very beatable.

Talent? You are dead wrong. 100% wrong. Mike Tyson was the smallest heavyweight by far at 5'10. Even that was probably a lie, more like 5'8. He was not gifted with the body to fight the biggest baddest men on the planet. Nothing about Tyson's fighting ability was natural except for one thing... Mike Tyson was a boxing savant. Once he began studying he learned the sport faster and better than anyone. He worked endlessly in the gym too, building the power everyone loves and the body behind it. With one punch Tyson could end your life. He was able to do that against the biggest and best on the planet, the heavyweights, because of his skill. Mike Tyson was physically just average. No natural talent at all.

That's the problem when a big guy fight a smaller guy. If the smaller guy gets in real close, it's hard for the bigger guy to coordinate his attack.

During Tyson Heavyweight up till Cus passing away Tyson was the best pound for pound fighter ever. He had control and power with his punches!! Ali and Tyson were my favorite fighters!

I love watching these guys faces when they listen to Tyson .... this was 86 .... 83-85 he was much much scarier EXPLOSIVE

Tyson is and was in a class of his own! He beat you before the fight even started. The intimidation was key. People were scared to fight Mike! Even Ali said that he was the greatest! RIP Muhammad Ali.

If Mike Tyson says someone is tough you better believe it. All respect to Jose Ribalta he had the heart of a lion and a champion but Mike Tyson was in the way. Mike is the most skilled boxer in the history of boxing super heavyweights. His name will live forever and he inspired generations of youngsters all over the world. My favorite pugilist of all time.

one of my fave Tyson quotes "bigger fighter just got more to hit"!

I respect the way Mike came out a killer but then immediately ran over to his opponent to make sure he was ok the moment the fight was over

Unpopular opinion to throw into a video like this: Evander Holyfield is that boxer that has impressed me the most. (I only mention him since he got mentioned in this video) He was known as the Warrior Spirit (alongside The Real Deal) for a reason. Eventhough he was considered "the smaller man" in most of his matches,he never backed down on anyone. And he almost always gave a really good performance against them (if we take away thoose scandalous fights and when he was way past his prime,closer to his 50s) He just tried so desperately to set that record,and his own mind drove him until it was no longer advicable to let him step into the ring. For people unaware of just how good he was,there is a Evander Holyfield Warrior Spirit 1 and 2 out on YT,it has gotten abit blurry ever since YT changed theyr resolution system,as it was posted 13 years ago,but it has alot of really rare early footage of Evander seeking out a chance to go professional,and all the fights from there basically. Maybe not the best quality to recommend for reactions,but worthy of a look regardless. There is always the shorter but clearer video "legendary skills of Evander Holyfield". Mike Tyson has gotten the tag "Ego",while Evander Holyfield got "Humility". Now granted,Evander quickly got confidence in his own skills in the ring,but he always came out humble even in victory or defeat. I do understand why people favor a guy like Mike though,a guy from the streets that literally took "street fighting and attitude" into boxing,i get that and respect that. Also,i would say that Mike learned how to become more "classy" over the years. Like when the beast Bob Sapp tried assaulting him dressed up in the crowd,and it ended up with Mike smiling well protected in the ring while saying: "Sign the contract big boy,sign the contract!" An earlier version of Mike would have lost it and attacked Sapp in that ring,to teach him a lesson,not caring about Sapp being exhausted from his own fight. So no disrespect towards Mike,i do ofc see his skillset in the ring,like i said he has that "in your face street fighting" style,and i can appreciate people that has been through alot,but as private personalities and public figures using thoose experiences to improve themselfs. I still like people like Lennox Lewis and other greats more then Mike though. Im not a big fan of people that do too much scandalous stuff,or it depends on what type of crime or immorale stuff they have been doing,and if its a 1 time thing or keeps on happening.

How he lasted 10 rounds, I’ll never know.

I was watching Mike Tyson fight long before he became heavyweight champion. Always loved him and wished he had had someone who TRULY loved him helping to guide him. Still love him. Even named my Akita/Sharpei mix "Tyson". He was a short, stocky pup even when he was just a pup.

A true warrior inside and outside the ring. Gloves to DMT he is an inspiration.

the fact that he took all those punches till round 10 is honestly insane... his opponent is so damn tough too. He gotta be one of the toughest guys in the world even if he did get destroyed… no one should be able to take all that beating

Had to watch this after the Paul vs Fury fight. Needed to be reminded of what real boxing looks like🥊🥊

Tyson in his prime was probably the most feared boxer and puncher in the heavyweight division. When he was managed by Cus D’amato he was in top shape. I remember him fighting spins, who was a heavyweight champion himself. When Spinx got in the ring he looked terrified. Tyson beat him inside 90 seconds. A truly awesome gifted fighter who was phenomenally quick handed

Happy new year, guys :) Been a thrill fallowing you since i found this channel earlier this year. Looking forward to watch you go further in 2023.

I lived it. Tyson was a fn machine in his peak. Professional heavyweights were scared shitless of him. The death of his mentor, the poison of Don King and a horrible marriage to a horrible person ruined him. He was straight from the streets and was the most feared beast of all time. He was just susceptible to predators in sheep’s clothing. Why do you think 30 years later everyone still talks about him and not those other guys who beat him late in his career?

It amazes me that people seem to forget that Holyfield was a dirty fighter and was constantly headbutting Tyson. This was also a time when Tyson had been through so much and lost so much. He was also a cocaine addict and partied more than he trained

Tyson was one of the quickest heavy weight's

Mike said Cus used to tell him that winning wasn't enough and he had to be entertaining. Mike thought the smaller fighters were more entertaining to him, so he wanted to fight like them with the punches in bunches, Mike also happens to have been an incredibly capable puncher and Heavyweights were not used to seeing a guy hit them in succession so many times rapidly. Evander was also a smaller guy, that's why he was able to have ring generalship with Mike. Mike was taught to fight bigger guys.

Mike Tyson is in my opinion the best boxet in history.

Wow @ the upper cut. I’m sure the rage he carried in his life was unleashed upon his opponents. Hard to compete with that. At least back in the day. Skills n rage.

If Cus could have been around throughout Tyson's career, Mike would have literally been unstoppable. Cus was everything to Mike. It's a shame he never got to see Mike become Champion...but he KNEW he would be.

When you see that kind of greatness, it hard to understand how, he fights one of the best. Mike is smaller, weighs less, and has shorter arms, yet he is the destroyer.

the 90s was the best for Professional Boxing as well as the NBA.

Honestly Tysons one of the only people that I know of besides the greatest that train twice as hard he knew that he had to train his body and his soul in mind he knew they had to be one before he could come out on top in a match
