My dad loved Mike Tyson and we got to meet him at an airport in NJ when I was about 11 years old and Mike was very nice to me and my dad.. he signed my sneakers, hat, shirt, and $100 bill that my dad had and I still have all of those items including a few pictures of him signing everything and my dad paid to have the shirt and $100 bill framed and the hat and sneakers are in a glass case that sit on my mantel now.. I couldn't help but carry over my father's love for Tyson because how great he was as a boxer and how great he treated me and my father.. One of the last conversations me and my father had was about Mike Tyson and how he would be looked at in the future.. my dad was ahead of his time too because he always watched Mayweather and said that he would be great.. I hate my father didn't get to see how great Mayweather became but he definitely enjoyed the Tyson Era and I enjoyed spending time with him..
I've watched over 5 decades of boxing. Tyson is without a doubt the most compelling, brutal, vicious, savage fighter I have ever seen. He was a true force of nature... capable of exploding at anytime. He was also sublimely talented. If he had maintained Kevin Rooney as his trainer, he would've achieved much, much more. Loved watching him.
If 1986-1988 period Tyson fought Lewis at his peak, or Holyfield at his peak, then it would have been very interesting. I’m not sure who would win to be honest.
By dissing Tyson in 84, Biggs accidentally gave him the motivation he needed to train even harder and show his true value to the world. Tysons discipline as far as training is concerned is nothing short of astounding. That man also applied that same level of discipline towards bettering himself as a person in his later years. His entire life has been a nonstop battle towards perfection. After his boxing career was over he began reflecting on himself and has continued to grow as a person and i find his psychological progress as impressive as his boxing achievements, possibly even more impressive. Bottom line is, Tyson gives it his all and doesnt let any form of defeat to stop him.
Well said. I read in a book about Tyson's life that when he lost in the Olympic trials, team mate of his didn't know the Mike had already lost his fight to go for the gold, and he told Mike, " good luck in your fight." And a grinning Biggs said to him, and others, " I think you meant flight ✈." So i would be ticked off myself, and which Mike never forgot.
Tyson got sloppy and more lazy after Cus died, he went onto win the championship like promised them just got sloppier. This was early in his career, absolute prime Mike Tyson was short lived. He won a lot of fights afterwards but his footwork suffered a lot, and no one noticed he got worse cause his opponents weren't tough for awhile then he fought good heavyweights and lost. I believe prime Mike Tyson, or if Cus didnt die would've been a killer but as is I dont think hes a highly motivated guy post Cus
Pretty sure you need two different things - one immovable, one unstoppable - for that to work. Mike can’t be both at the same time - that’s why that little “vs” is in the middle 😂

The way Mike was able to put every bit of his power into his punches is absolutely incredible. In many of his KO's if you watch his feet Tyson is leaving the ground, both feet are in the AIR as his punches LAND. That's every bit of his weight being thrown with full force connecting directly on his opponent's face, body etc. Sh!t is wild
I saw Iron Mike on ESPN Thursday night at the fights in 86. My dad and I said this guy is going to destroy everyone he faces. I think he’s still one of the best heavy weights ever!
Once Biggs got hit he got scared you could see it all over his face and he wasn't so confident after that, totally changed after that first hit..he felt the power of Tyson.. amazing!
Think he was scared before as well. He didn't really have confidence in his abilities, he had some tough fights before Tyson against journeymen and hasbeens.
I remember watching this fight live. I kept saying to myself, as soon as Tyson hits him, it's over. And you can look at Bigg"s face and see that, once he felt Tyson's power, he knew he was in trouble.
Glad Im old enough to have seen Tyson fight in the 80's, and dominate. Heck, I saw Van Halen in the 80's, Metallica in the 80's, and I saw Star Wars as a new release in 1977. Sometimes being older is good.
Don King, Robin givens, Robin givens mother, and some others we have you to thank for totally ruining the heavyweight division. Tyson needed to be on a short leash with good people. It really was a shame to watch that man go downhill. I'm truly glad to watch that man get his life back. However how much great boxing did we get cheated out of because they messed with his head.

This fight shows how patient Tyson was from round 1 and on. People only remember the Buster Douglas defeat and Holyfield ear biting Mike Tyson. That Tyson was a product of Don King and others that surrounded him for money. No one remembers from 1985 to 1990 (before Don King), Tyson showed great head movement, footwork, defense and patience. At times, if he wanted to, he could be a decent counter puncher and everyone talks about Wilder being the most devastating puncher ever but, Tyson in my opinion holds that title.
@Liger King.. I’m gonna have your hart your lungs.. I’m gonna eat your children! I’m gonna f... You really had to be crazy to face Mike in those days!

"No plan of operations reaches with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy's main force." Helmuth von Moltke 1800-91 Prussian military commander. That is the original quote and yes Tyson`s quote is a fine reconfiguration of this concept.
My brother worked with Biggs at UPS years LATER. I asked....."Do people ever talk trash to him for losing his career and now loading trucks for a living?" My brother was like...."Heeeeell no. We gotta get up inside the truck with him!!!" 😂😂😂
Biggs "What's that over there?" Oh, that? That's a grizzly bear fed almost exclusively on human flesh...."Interesting, I'm gonna go poke it with a stick"
I watched this fight in real time. I also watched the pre-fight press conference, and it was clear that Biggs thought insulting Tyson would somehow lend itself to a tactical advantage… IT DIDN’T! He made a comment tantamount to “Tyson’s mother not raising him right!” I’m not certain if Biggs knew, but Tyson’s mother died when he was a little kid! The look that Tyson gave Biggs after the remark was clearly, “You’re in for a long night, pal! I’m gonna PUNISH you!” During the fight, Kevin Rooney admonished Mike to put Biggs away and stop “propping him up!” Mike said (paraphrasing) “Give me one more round to beat on him, and I’ll do anything you say!” Trust me, Biggs looking decent in round one meant nothing! Tyson was simply figuring him out. Notice, from round two on, how easily Mike was cutting the ring off, and maneuvering Biggs right into position. You can’t “dance” all night and throw ineffective punches and think you’re going to win a professional boxing match!
It would be fairer to say “it’s very difficult” to dance all night without getting dragged into the kind of fight that Tyson preferred. Biggs made a great effort in that first round and he did frustrate Tyson’s efforts to land a punch. That’s what good movement and a huge reach advantage does for you. Ultimately Biggs was unable to keep Tyson from getting on the inside. But that doesn’t change the fact that he fought a perfect first round, and that didn’t happen often against Mike Tyson in those days.
I swear this is a TRUE STORY...Tyrell Biggs was the correction officer at a juvenile home in Columbus Ohio back in the early 90’s called T.I.C.O. It was max security ....He used to show us videos of his fights, and pictures of his lifestyle as a fighter. He would NEVER show us his fight against Tyson though! 🤣🤣....He was a really good dude though. He used to tape music videos for us and bring em in for us to watch, let us stay out the rooms longer than we were supposed to be out...solid brotha ! ✊🏾💯
Illuminatti tip o the hat to the Baphomet. Their symbolism will be their downfall. Impressive warrior tho. Growing up in a boxing family, i understood being cruel when you impose your will. Killer instinct. My uncle was a master at that. Tyson...oo boy. Ask Spinks..
@TheShqipe98 out jabbed Ali? No chance. Ali was too quick and too clever for Liston. Even the so called "phantom punch" is utter nonsense. The punch hit clean on the temple and if you watch it in slow motion you can see the force it connected with as Listons head jolts back. Liston was a great boxer but no comparison to Ali.
I met Mike when I was a kid and I vividly remember shaking his hand. I instantly realized how heavy his hands were and how bad it would be to have this guy swinging on me. When this fight happened and I can clearly remember thinking that as soon as Mike caught Biggs once that it would be all down hill from there.
Boy, do I miss those days. Once you knew one of your friends bought the PPV, you immediately made a call - got your pals together and threw a few bucks each to cover the cost of the fight. The pre-fight buzz was absolutely electric - such great times looking back at how much of an event this was watching all the under cards just to see Mike beat the living shit out of a can of soup in a few short rounds or less.
It was good back in those days but I think it was better back in the 70's. Ali, Frazer, Foreman. Jimmy Young, Holmes, Hagler, Sugar Ray, Hagler, Duran, Hearns and Ken Norton. I'm sure there were more.
@@scrapplepig Boxing in the 70s was the best since most bouts - the biggest fights in years - were on ABC Wide World of Sports. Free. Saturday afternoons. Before Cable TV, the greatest fights were free to watch. On top of it, we got Howard Cosell who, in my opinion, was one of the best sports personalities of the era to call the fight. I mean - th-cam.com/video/JZEIMQ42-oU/w-d-xo.html
The thing I've learned about Mike Tyson in recent times was that Tyson was actual a student of the sport...I knew he was a fantastic boxer but this fact set him aside for me
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. - Iron Mike Tyson
@Kenneth Moaratty- So did George Foreman. Just as Ali took him to school, Ali would have taken Tyson to school. There will never be another Ali. Ali was the baddest of all time.
@@alexmontejo5509 may weather is one of the best but I don't think he can ever be considered the best because of his point playing style and dodging fights throughout his career

Im pulling my hair over this lmao
@@justjuangoodcitizen4297 Even with Rooney, Tyson’s ego was starting to become an issue. Cus would of whipped him into shape and make him 100% focused instead of 70 or 80%
Young Mike was so fast, so graceful with his footwork and head movement and at the same time his punching power was horrifying and his killer instinct was unmatched, you'll never see a heavy weight called the fastest in the division and the most powerful, it should be impossible
The thing I appreciate about Tyson that covers a lot of territory was how he would immediately go over to his victim to make sure they were alright. I doubt many of them could remember that.
I honestly believe the more that I watch Tyson the closer he gets in my mind to being like an actual piece of bulletproof glass people just thumped their hands on till he eventually fell and crushed them, guys hands were madness
Gotta say, this is definitely an example of the thumbs up reminder working. After you said that early in the video, I went back and pressed the Like button for the other, like, 90 I watched. Fantastic content.
I'll add, though, copy edit before exporting the final file to upload. Many of your videos are rife with typos that undermine your otherwise masterly work.
Mike Tyson is a good example of how people treat others if theyre different. People put him on this pedestal as a legend but think Tyson is unintelligent because he has a lisp and is a fighter. The man was not only a legend in the ring, but he's incredibly intelligent. Especially having to go through so much hard work and dedication as a kid...
Yeah I honestly always thought that Mike wasn't too bright haha. But lately I've been watching a lot of videos about him and he's smarter than people would assume. Sometimes he would say something that's just clever/intelligent/whatever you want to call it and it makes a lot of sense. Its hard to notice at first because of the way he talks. Still he was a complete mental case when he was younger XD Absolute madlad
@@denholmholbrook2517 Mike is very well educated. He can't back it up with a degree but he's read enough books to become a really good thinker and speaker. Not to mention how his life experiences and emotional intelligence lift him to a completely different level. He's one of the most underrated philosophers we have today imo.
Lmmfao I was just about to say the same thing. Mike knocked his Ass out for using his Govt name lol. Mike from the hood, u really disrespecting in the the hood when u do that shit
Don’t feel right to laugh at Mike Tyson, but OMG when he said “he was crying in there, making woman gestures like oooo ahh” I couldn’t stop laughing. Still can’t 😂. That was so unintentionally funny! 😂😂
It would have been terrifying to step into the ring with Tyson at any point during that period. It would have been especially so if he personally despised you.
"he was crying in there, making women gestures like, uaoohh ahh!!!" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So disrespectful & funnyaf 🤣
Whether he cry or not... it takes real man to face tyson in his prime.. waive the crying.. respect the courage

He didn’t even had to punch somebody in the face.. all he needed to do was look them in the eyes and he already knew that it was gonna be over in a matter of seconds!

Excellent quote should go up there with Einstein
You gotta take one to give one.
"No plan of operations reaches with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the enemy's main force."
Helmuth von Moltke 1800-91
Prussian military commander.
That is the original quote and yes Tyson`s quote is a fine reconfiguration of this concept.
He was actually Quoting joe Lewis..
Biggs: "He was made for me, like TY - SON"
Iron Mike: *so you have chosen death*
Peace to the brotha but thats IRON MIKE. THE CHAMP.
Also Biggs: [Woman gestures]
When Biggs made fun of his height, that’s when it became personal for Tyson. That was always Tyson’s insecurity and that was a low blow.
Also Mike: so I see you don’t like being conscious
Tyson is really a tin man and over rated he have the glory that belongs to holyfield
Legends never die,I grew up watching his fights, when ppl hear his name,THAT WAS BIG,BIG EVENT,BIG CROWD,STILL LOVE THIS MAN
“I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.”--- Thomas Paine
My brother worked with Biggs at UPS years LATER. I asked....."Do people ever talk trash to him for losing his career and now loading trucks for a living?" My brother was like...."Heeeeell no. We gotta get up inside the truck with him!!!" 😂😂😂
lol
Tufff 😂
Dude may have lost to Tyson, but he was still a badass.
My guy, that’s crazy… how’d he blow his dough i wonder? Those gotta be some mad stories…
@@zerg9523 Who's to say........????
Biggs "What's that over there?" Oh, that? That's a grizzly bear fed almost exclusively on human flesh...."Interesting, I'm gonna go poke it with a stick"

Tyson killed dreams. I cannot get tired of watching him. I have memories of gathering with friends and knowing who would win.
I warmth mike tyson everyday for motivation
Tyson was a powerhouse. I remember watching his fights on Pay Preview and they never lasted long.
Mike talking about those woman noises is the greatest 🙌
Women gestures actually.

Full of shit
he was pure trolling. Joe Rogan has the story
Guhh , euhh , wouuu - Mike Tyson
I watched this fight in real time. I also watched the pre-fight press conference, and it was clear that Biggs thought insulting Tyson would somehow lend itself to a tactical advantage… IT DIDN’T! He made a comment tantamount to “Tyson’s mother not raising him right!” I’m not certain if Biggs knew, but Tyson’s mother died when he was a little kid! The look that Tyson gave Biggs after the remark was clearly, “You’re in for a long night, pal! I’m gonna PUNISH you!” During the fight, Kevin Rooney admonished Mike to put Biggs away and stop “propping him up!” Mike said (paraphrasing) “Give me one more round to beat on him, and I’ll do anything you say!” Trust me, Biggs looking decent in round one meant nothing! Tyson was simply figuring him out. Notice, from round two on, how easily Mike was cutting the ring off, and maneuvering Biggs right into position. You can’t “dance” all night and throw ineffective punches and think you’re going to win a professional boxing match!
Great story. It puts the whole fight into perspective.
Excellent, terrific insight into this fight. I thoroughly enjoyed the read. Thank you
Well said
Great analysis and conclusion.
It would be fairer to say “it’s very difficult” to dance all night without getting dragged into the kind of fight that Tyson preferred. Biggs made a great effort in that first round and he did frustrate Tyson’s efforts to land a punch. That’s what good movement and a huge reach advantage does for you. Ultimately Biggs was unable to keep Tyson from getting on the inside. But that doesn’t change the fact that he fought a perfect first round, and that didn’t happen often against Mike Tyson in those days.
Mike is so inspirational. He's always been my favourite boxer & probably always will be
So this where the "I'm going to shock the world curse came from" 🤣🤣🤣
I swear this is a TRUE STORY...Tyrell Biggs was the correction officer at a juvenile home in Columbus Ohio back in the early 90’s called T.I.C.O. It was max security ....He used to show us videos of his fights, and pictures of his lifestyle as a fighter. He would NEVER show us his fight against Tyson though! 🤣🤣....He was a really good dude though. He used to tape music videos for us and bring em in for us to watch, let us stay out the rooms longer than we were supposed to be out...solid brotha ! ✊🏾💯
Great story brotha💯
Seems like a nice guy I hope he is well.
Respect tyrell.. a good human being
I was afraid he was going back to crack addiction after his fight career ended. It's nice to hear otherwise.
The Greatest.. things he did is giving back to the community without even gettin in the spotlight.. ..
that shot of tyson's eye is so intimidating.
A predator fixated on his prey..
Illuminatti tip o the hat to the Baphomet. Their symbolism will be their downfall. Impressive warrior tho. Growing up in a boxing family, i understood being cruel when you impose your will. Killer instinct. My uncle was a master at that. Tyson...oo boy. Ask Spinks..
@Abel 's strength & conditioning I’ve seen Sonny Liston . In person. So did my uncles in Philly . And Ali was a young kid back
@Abel 's strength & conditioning Ali beat him twice lol
@TheShqipe98 out jabbed Ali? No chance. Ali was too quick and too clever for Liston.
Even the so called "phantom punch" is utter nonsense. The punch hit clean on the temple and if you watch it in slow motion you can see the force it connected with as Listons head jolts back.
Liston was a great boxer but no comparison to Ali.
I met Mike when I was a kid and I vividly remember shaking his hand. I instantly realized how heavy his hands were and how bad it would be to have this guy swinging on me. When this fight happened and I can clearly remember thinking that as soon as Mike caught Biggs once that it would be all down hill from there.
That's incredible prediction for a young kid to make..
@@cruiser6260 Not really, he just said the guy would get beat, not exactly deep
“Ty’s son” 😂 It didn’t work out for Biggs, but that was a good line.
I lost it when Tyson went "he was crying in there, he was making woman gestures like ouah uh uhh" 🤣
Your videos are the best. seriously. Great job
That's what I always loved about Mike Tyson he talked with his fists
Boy, do I miss those days. Once you knew one of your friends bought the PPV, you immediately made a call - got your pals together and threw a few bucks each to cover the cost of the fight. The pre-fight buzz was absolutely electric - such great times looking back at how much of an event this was watching all the under cards just to see Mike beat the living shit out of a can of soup in a few short rounds or less.
Yes.getting friends together to wstch a tyson fight was a must. And then after go out on town with friends. But tyson fight was the pre-party.
Good ole days. Last time I chipped in for a fight was Shane Moseley vs Mayweather. That fight proved to me boxing matches were fixed.
Ah yes this season was the cause for breakups and divorce. Strange times
It was good back in those days but I think it was better back in the 70's. Ali, Frazer, Foreman. Jimmy Young, Holmes, Hagler, Sugar Ray, Hagler, Duran, Hearns and Ken Norton. I'm sure there were more.
@@scrapplepig Boxing in the 70s was the best since most bouts - the biggest fights in years - were on ABC Wide World of Sports. Free. Saturday afternoons. Before Cable TV, the greatest fights were free to watch. On top of it, we got Howard Cosell who, in my opinion, was one of the best sports personalities of the era to call the fight.
I mean - th-cam.com/video/JZEIMQ42-oU/w-d-xo.html
The thing I've learned about Mike Tyson in recent times was that Tyson was actual a student of the sport...I knew he was a fantastic boxer but this fact set him aside for me
Yeah he’s a certified Boxing Historian!
TYSON KNOWS BOXING
Mike was the best ever and I am still playing catch up on all his great fight history. Amazing man right there.
"He was cryin in there!" LOL Mike is hilarious
Women gesture like "ughhh!" Lol

Tyson is the baddest boxer ever. He didnt come to just get a win, he came to knock mof out as fast as he could
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. - Iron Mike Tyson
@@alexfernandez5688 🤣😂🤣😂 that's Mike's greatest quote and my favorite. Thanks you made my day!!!
@Kenneth Moaratty- So did George Foreman. Just as Ali took him to school, Ali would have taken Tyson to school. There will never be another Ali. Ali was the baddest of all time.

Gotta appreciate our legends while they're still here. Tyson is definitely one of them.

He had a volatile personality though.

@@swavyypressure9417 Exactly right
Young Mike was so fast, so graceful with his footwork and head movement and at the same time his punching power was horrifying and his killer instinct was unmatched, you'll never see a heavy weight called the fastest in the division and the most powerful, it should be impossible
The "he was crying making women gestures" took me out. 💀💀
Biggs “FELT” that first punch and it changed his life.
The thing I appreciate about Tyson that covers a lot of territory was how he would immediately go over to his victim to make sure they were alright. I doubt many of them could remember that.
Iron Mike had a heart of gold!
He probably worried constantly about catching a murder charge in the ring
@@bigtiptzybirdyunouno9375 nigga what?!?
'Hey, I found your brain out in the second row. Do you want it back or...'
You know he said himself that he would do that to embarrass them
"Mike Tyson is in a fighting mood"
That's some serious understatement
9:05 if he didn’t use that cursed “I’m going to shock the world” then he may have stood a chance
I honestly believe the more that I watch Tyson the closer he gets in my mind to being like an actual piece of bulletproof glass people just thumped their hands on till he eventually fell and crushed them, guys hands were madness
Man I really miss the 80's.
"It's gonna be a slooow, slooow night for him."
That was just terrifying.
"it's gonna be a slow night for him" hahahahaha 🤣♥️💪
Gotta say, this is definitely an example of the thumbs up reminder working. After you said that early in the video, I went back and pressed the Like button for the other, like, 90 I watched. Fantastic content.
I'll add, though, copy edit before exporting the final file to upload. Many of your videos are rife with typos that undermine your otherwise masterly work.
For me, the most remembered sentence Mike ever did was “he was crying in there, he was making woman gestures” 😂
Mike Tyson is a good example of how people treat others if theyre different. People put him on this pedestal as a legend but think Tyson is unintelligent because he has a lisp and is a fighter. The man was not only a legend in the ring, but he's incredibly intelligent. Especially having to go through so much hard work and dedication as a kid...
Yeah I honestly always thought that Mike wasn't too bright haha. But lately I've been watching a lot of videos about him and he's smarter than people would assume. Sometimes he would say something that's just clever/intelligent/whatever you want to call it and it makes a lot of sense. Its hard to notice at first because of the way he talks. Still he was a complete mental case when he was younger XD Absolute madlad
@@romanhollow2985 most people aren't good with finance, hardly a measure of intelligence when there's so much more Tyson excelled at.
People confuse uneducated with unintelligent often
@@denholmholbrook2517 Mike is very well educated. He can't back it up with a degree but he's read enough books to become a really good thinker and speaker. Not to mention how his life experiences and emotional intelligence lift him to a completely different level. He's one of the most underrated philosophers we have today imo.
I'm not a massive boxing fan (more MMA and wrestling) but I like Tyson, and this is a fantastic and interesting little documentary. Great job
man so sad you have problems with youtube always nice to rewatch your videos great content =)

Tyrell really fought like Ali!... for one round.
He just didn't have the discipline, endurance and mental strength of Ali.

It would have been terrifying to step into the ring with Tyson at any point during that period. It would have been especially so if he personally despised you.
