The fact that EVERYONE keeps Mike name in they mouth shows his greatness
No it’s just casuals like you
Tyson used cheque drops (mibolerone) to win. The most advantageous steroid ever made. Most of his fights were rigged as well. Jon jones is on cheque drops (mibolerone) too! Linford Christie was on DECA!! Usain Bolt is a freemason and on steroids too. They rigged it for Jon jones and he still f*cked it up. Same with anthony joshua and deontay wilder- on steroids and still lost LOL
He's FAKE. ALL OF THEM. Read Racial Plan for the 20th century. All of it is RIGGED. You don't know what the hell you're talking about.
He looked good smashing cans but couldn't compete at the elite level.
@@johnhatchel9681i think you're wrong man, when he was under cus d'amato, focused, no jail and drugs, he was the scariest boxer who ever step in the ring
Cos he’s overrated sucker
Mike Tyson at his prime was without any doubt the best heavyweight in my lifetime. He went to prison and wasn't the same afterwards
No he wasn’t
Ali was , Gene tunny was , Jack Dempsey was , all was better than Tyson
Tyson was fighting bums and lost to Douglas
He’s one of the best knock out artist of all time yeah
Possibly the best
But The best heavyweight ?
you don’t understand boxing
@@badsolja1 Ali wudda beat Mike but no way Dempsey or Tunney were going past 5 rounds with him...too small, too slow...Both wudda been light heavies by todays standards, besides dude said Tyson was the best heavyweight he seen in his lifetime...at his peak hes probably the best heavyweight in my lifetime too...but not of all time, Ali, probably Lewis n Holyfield, Foreman, Holmes, Bowe n at least a couple of others beat prime Tyson for me...but if u really think Mike only fought bums or him losing to Douglas means ANYTHING at all then its u that doesnt understand boxing dude..
@reefkayoss5534 well said mate. The guy doesn't even know my age, so how can he judge whether my opinion is lack of understanding boxing or not... some people 🙄
@@Slufnyt1 hahaa yeh i was thinkin the same thing lol
@@reefkayoss don't know about that big man, look what frazier done to Ali, same type of style as tyson, tyson fought 10 foremans at least in his prime easy work, Lewis an holyfield great fighters but they were great 10 years after tysons prime an substance abuse, bowe, come bro, he fought Holmes I think when Holmes was 36, no where near past it, all in all his offensive an defence I'm his prime r un matched by any boxer I've ever seen, legend an 1 of the best if not the best of all time in his prime
Notice its these younger bums that all think they could beat Tyson.
😂
Muhammad Ali thinks that Mike Tyson could knock him down. Where is Jake Paul things that he could beat him😂😂
@@FantasticFanta227jake paul means the current tyson, not prime tyson. Jake paul is a joke. He couldn't even win from tommy fury
@@FantasticFanta227now he can beat him but back then nah
i mean gervonta is great at boxing (i think prime vs prime mike tyson still wins), but jake paul and deontay?
Lennox never fought the best iron mike
Lenox didn’t and buster douglas didn’t everybody that beat him caught him on his decline and when he was having legal trouble
@@ajstang322true
Not only Lenox and Holyfield never fought real Tyson...
@@ajstang322Tyson paid Lenox not to fight him you do realise that 😅
And Mike didn’t face a prime Lenox or Holyfield what’s ur point
I remember watching Mike Tyson at his peak.
I am surprised no one he fought died in the ring. To all the young guys that think they could fight Mike back in the day. I can't say I have seen another boxer as good now.
Tyson is a once in a lifetime boxer. lucky to have seen him.
Maybe Jack Johnson from the past but nothing now.
Because boxers stop when people is about to fall. If it was in MMA, many would have lost their life. xD
Certainly he really put away boxers, but on the other hand, he did it fast - so not as much repeated trauma. Just one-and-done after half a round, or a couple of rounds.
@@Mkpp87not really ; in boxing there are more deaths than mma just because more hits and more power due to bigger gloves and taking more punches for longer period of time
modern boxers are bums not even worth calling boxers when stacked up with boxers of the late 80s and 90s, same with Basketball
Why does everyone get asked "could you beat tyson?" There's a reason for it.. greatest boxer ever. Tyson was built to destroy
Mike in his prime is unbeaten , he will knock everyone out
Clueless
@@travzimmerman1340ali admitted that one hit from Tyson and he would be done. Tyson was super fast in prime
Not Forman mate.
@@Alextheskater91 Ali was being humble , Ali ate hits from foreman , earnie shavers and Sonny Liston , Tyson doesn't hit as hard as those guys . Infact Tyson admitted that he was scared of a 40 year old George foreman. Explains everything , no hate to Tyson
Mike was in his prime against Douglas as sad as that fight made me.we can't deny he didn't take the fight seriously
Like Cus D'Amato predicted. The only person that could defeat Tyson was himself. Think what you want but no one had Tyson's skill set.
I mean they did Holyfield had way more skill than Tyson
@@Tyson123_ lmao..no one had more skill than Tyson.
ALL STEROIDS NOTHING to see here.
Stay natural buddy!
I look at it like this. Tyson lived a crazy life from the start to the current times. He had major up and major downs that most of us will never experience. Even though he could have climbed higher toward the peak, he still came out on top not just because of boxing but because of who he is and who he has grown to become. I see nothing to regret in Tysons life. When I was a kid Mike Tyson fights brought everyone together in front of the tv, more than the Super Bowl. What Tyson did for boxing was bring in fans who were not necessarily boxing fans. His character and tenacity brought a lot of attention to the sport. As an adult I have remained a boxing fan which developed from a respect for Mike and wanting to understand the world he came from and lived in. Keep in mind I grew up in rural Maine in the 80's-90's, for me Mike was a rock star. All the noise, the lights, the cities, the people and then Mike going out there and destroying some guy... it was amazing. It seems much more subdued now but maybe it's just because I'm more subdued as an adult ha!
Ali would've make him miss over and over again and drown him in the later rounds
Living legend. One of the last of the best. They don’t make them like this anymore.
Shoutout to Larry Holmes. A true legend. One of the best ever. One of the most underrated ever. Big respect.
He is NO LEGEND, you FOOL. He's a FRAUD. He was on cheque drops (mibolerone). THE ADVANTAGEOUS STEROID EVER MADE. Just like Jon Jones, Linford Christie was on DECA, Usain Bolt is ALSO on STEROIDS. He's also a freemason. Just like O'neal.
Mike is the best thing that ever happened to boxing.I don't think there's anyone that beat him before he went to prison..That 's simple means they manage to beat him when he was no longer the same mike...
86-88 Mike Tyson, the Cus D'Amato/Kevin Rooney trained fighter would have beaten all comers. No question. His head movement and defense, along with the precision power was unmatched. Once he caught you with a big punch, you were finished. Ali, Holyfield and Foreman were the only ones who would have maybe stood a chance because of their ability to absorb punishment. Of those three, only Ali because of his defense and quickness.
Ali in his prime would have ribboned Tyson, too fast and too quick in his footwork for Tyson. When his punches arrived, Ali would have already been somewhere else. That said. Tyson is the greatest heavyweight in the last 40 years, no doubt about it. A class act. Tyson Fury was correct in his view that Tyson would have knocked him out in 30 seconds. Modern heavyweights now are slow and ponderous by comparison.
@@liverpoolscottish6430Ali is the ONLY guy I'd give a 50/50 chance too .. Prime Mike was INSANE. Never again will you find a combo of speed, precision, strength, intimidation, skills and compact..sucks that life derailed Mike.
@liverpoolscottish6430 What a lot of people don't credit Ali for is how good he was at penetrating his opponents guards. They'd shell up but Ali would always cut through with surgical precision. Also his jabs, his jabs were so dangerously precise, best example of his dangerous jabs are Ali v Frazer 3, Frazer's was near enough blind because of the swelling around his eye sockets!
@@liverpoolscottish6430no chance.
@@thediaz07 Foreman would have won against Tyson more than half of the time. You underestimate how great the boxers of the 60s-70s era was because they were overshadowed by Ali. I'd argue Frazier would have had a chance as well.
Mike will always be one of the biggest question marks of boxing. What could he have achieved? Without Cus's death the Rooney departure or the jail time. He's one of those fighters who's record looks inferior to some but when you watch the things he could do, there just doesn't seem to be anyone like him. And the scary thing is, he was so young at his best stage, he hadn't even reached his full potential yet.
Cus died at about TYSONS 10th proffessional fight KEVIN ROONEY always did all the ground work as far as TYSON was concerned CUS was an old man so was more of a mentor
TYSON started to believe his own hype and his hangers on and SACKED ROONEY
IT wasnt a mutual departure thats why ROONEY got about 4 million in court for unfair dismissal
TYSONS decline was metioric after he sacked ROONEY as he was surrounded by yes men now his prime was very short but he shone like star burst for short time and equally burnt out as quick
I’ve been thinking this too, if Cus had lived more and been training Tyson , Tyson would’ve been better and he we would’ve seen more of Tyson’s potential and he prob would’ve been undefeated in my opinion
Mike is the only one I can think of that could have achieved a 100-0 score.
Tyson was just so quick and strong. Absolute beast at his peak.
Tyson from 86 to 89 the GOAT! Unbelievable!
A real scary MF... George had the power to put you in a coma but mike had the speed and power to actually catch you.
It certainly seemed that way, I remember the streets being completely deserted whenever he was fighting as we were all inside, sat round the television
Mike in his prime was something to see. When a fight was upcoming you knew you were about to see something incredible. Those body shots and uppercuts!
Evander Holyfield had that referee in his corner! He seems to be very efficient at headbutting his opponents without losing points
That was all a payday for that POS Don King . If you go back and study all the dialogue . You have to search for on utube. Tyson knew he couldn’t beat Evander at that stage of his career . We never got to see which would’ve been the fight of the century, which would’ve been Tyson pre-prison and Holyfield in his prime.
Tyson was at his peak between 1986 and 1989.
1985-1991 was his prime
No@@PoenaruTheodor

Tyson is a legend they never die and will continue to live in our hearts
He ain’t dead lol 😂
Damn, that Tyson Fury answer threw me all the way off. Man didn't even hesitate to give himself an L after smoking Wilder and everybody else like good weed. Then said he was gonna punish Wilder for even saying that he would win lmao.
Bro, I was floored when he said that 😂 Says something about the respect he has towards Iron Mike
He said that before wilder fight
Mike Tyson was out for blood 🩸 that’s why a lot of fighters didn’t want to fight him some did but they explain he got one powerful punch 🥊
Tyson ducked Lenox in 91 btw
@@Tyson123_no.. circumstances! no one ducked anyone go do real research not hater research.. Tyson didn't personally duck anyone..this such an old and rediculous argument!!!
Tyson at his prime beats everyone!!
GOAT no matter what generation of heavyweight is Iron Mike
@@MartinBWall💪
Nah
true still i wish tyson vs foreman but forman never wanted that smoke tho still js
Tyson had the most vicious uppercut!! You were out before you hit the mat👀😉
Mike Tyson was a finely tuned machine like no other. If you watch all of those 80's bouts, he had more class and sportsmanship than most others too.
Mike Tyson was without a doubt one of the all time greats as Mohammad Ali and others before him.
I think that’s really the wisest way of looking at it. There’s no one GOAT, there are several all in their own right and Tyson is one of them.
You put Jake Paul against prime Tyson, the fight would last 3 seconds
I would LOVE to see that.
@@Shawn-st2lx😂 yeah, if you blink you would miss that whole fight
Lmao jake paul, wtf
It's coming July 20th.
@@MrJudoheadmike isn’t in his prime, but he can easily knockout paul
Jake Paul isn’t a LEGENDARY BOXER😂
Yes he is, so am I. 🥊
He is... On Disney channel
Jake Paul is more of an Infamous person.
@@Dove88 So challenge Tyson, you will win!
@@magirktheone he’s old now, it wouldn’t be a fair fight.
Every man can only be at that level for a very short time
So you can never really say who was the best of all time but Mike Tyson is definitely amongst the best of all time
Ali was so pure
I doubt it. He was definitely glorified. These blacks are the most glorified bums I've ever seen.
Yeah, greatest boxer, greatest fighter goes to mike.
If I am not mistaken someone asked Tyson something like : "They call you pitbull , how would you define Ali?" and he said "He was a T-Rex with a smiling face"
TYSON SAID ALI WAS A T REX A MONSTER AND A WARRIOR DONT BE FOOLED BY HIM IN THE RING HE WAS VERY SPECIAL
HE SAID OF ALI AND FRAZIER THEY WERE TRUE WARRIORS AND READY TO DIE IN THE RING
TYSON SAID HE COULDNT OR WOULDNT DO THAT HE WOULD QUIT TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
HE SAID THEY WERE TRUE GREATS AS HE NEVER HAD THAT IN HIM TO PUT IT ALL OUT THERE
If Cus had lived just a few years more I believe Iron Mike would have gone undefeated
He just wouldn’t Holyfield would always beat him he might off beaten Lenox that’s it
For sure of wouldn't lost to Buster, mike didn't even have corner equipment he was using plastic bags to reduce swelling
Buster had nothing to lose and jsut lost his mom's before that fight. He had nothing but pain in his heart and took it all out on Mike
Nope. Mike is overrated by casuals. Lewis and Holyfield beat the bricks off him all week and twice on Sundays. Many of the 90s fighters would've he just refused to fight the good ones
@travzimmerman1340 the fact you said " Caual" your irrelevant in this conversation Kiddo
Holyfield and Lewis never fought the best Tyson.
Yes
So true but the haters never look at the real facts cause they not interested in Tyson so they don't bother and then they don't give him the credit he deserves!
I been saying that for yeeeaaarrsss
They are both older than tyson
Buster Douglas never fought the real Mike Tyson. The last person to fight the very best Mike Tyson was Spinks!!!! 93seconds.
Tyson was the perfect combination of speed and power. About 5'10, and he boxed at 215-220lbs. 🥊 🏆
One of Tysons best asset was his drive and work ethic in his prime, the only other fighter that maybe equalled his will to win. Rocky Marciano.
I was going to say the same thing. I don't think that Marciano could win against him, there was simply too much time between them. But they had many similarities. Both worked much harder than the competition. Both were in incredible shape entering the ring. Both developed a boxing style that worked for them in the era that they fought in. Both were often physically mismatched against their opponents and won anyway.
As for this upcoming exhibition, if it isn't predetermined Tyson has it quickly. IMHO.
To be fair gervonta isn't being completely delusional. The smaller guys usually have more technical skill and can't rely on punching power as much. I can't say if he's more skilled but they're both high level fighters with elite boxing
yeah if you look at everything below lightweight they are lightning fast and have crazy footwork. welter to super middle is popular because they have power, and still their own style like heavyweights do (in the really light weights you have to be perfectly fundamentally sound more than have your own style).
And we like heavyweights because they are like aliens who can finish everything in one punch
There are separate divisions for a reason, throw those little guys against the big guys and all a sudden hospital/morgues are filled, it would be like comparing women vsing men as that would be the equivalent difference amongst the two. The little guys can do many more rounds, outpace etc more but if punched, those ribs, those skulls, and those blocks would all be demolished, it would bring a whole other meaning to left, right goodnight. It would be, left, call the funeral director.
@@ululug6381 The question was not, "Could Gervonta Davis beat Mike Tyson?" the question was "Does Gervonta Davis have more skill than Mike Tyson?"
@@KoreaDashinteresting. There's this one story inspired by mike tyson but the main character was put on a lower division, I thought that was weird since his style was meant for heavier fighters, now I think the reason he was put on lighter class division was to prove that that style could still work against fighters who's style revolves around the fundamentals of boxing
I remember that guy when I was a child, he scared me so much. I thought he was an animal, and his strenght was so raw. Now as an adult I appreciate listening to old interviews, getting to hear his stances then, and now. A great name in sport's history
Once Cus died Don King came in and destroyed Mike Tysons carer. All of the training stopped and the promotion began, just so Don King could make more money!!
Prime hungry Mike can match up with any GOAT. He eventually lost because he was absurdly young for that much success and basically got bored and sucked into the party life. But if you got him in the early stretch before he lost his trainer, you were in trouble.
There is only few few boxers that I can think of being UNIQUE boxers - meaning having literally their own styles. That if you would see just a shadow in the dark you would definitely know its them.
Ali, Tyson, Ray Leonard, Duran, Roy Jones, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather and now Canelo Alvarez. Too unique. It's something like you would see in the dark as a silhouette - Messi and Ronaldo, you know its them.
Holyfield and Lewis were always gonna be a tough fight for even 88’ Tyson, but the Tyson that demolished Holmes and Spinks was a special fighter..
3:51 aged like fine wine
In my opinion Mike Tyson was the most feared for his ferocious style of fighting.
I love your videos,, but how thaa f##$ do you put Ali in the same sentence as butterbean 🤣🤣🙈💨😎
Naming Ali and Butterbean in one sentence made me chuckle a bit I gotta admit
Yeah that was wild
Tyson is the Best ever
Mike Tyson will always be the hardest, meanest and toughest boxer ever.
I don’t know what happened to Mike when he went to prison but he sure did change. Before that, he was awesome
Still is
There was no part of Mike's game that was not elite level. Speed, power, accuracy, footwork, and elusiveness. He had the greatest cornerman in Cus and he was extremely coachable. You will always be open when throwing a punch, so throw one at your risk when in there with Mike. Only way to try to survive is turtle up and run. Prime Mike was just unbeatable.
Tyson was very beatable in his prime. He took advantage of a horseshit divison. Smart move.
Also, just to give you an example on trainers, Cuz trained 3 world champions and Manny Steward trained 41 world champions.
@@travzimmerman1340horseshit? You don't know boxing then. They weren't A level but definitely B maybe B+.
No, he was quite unbeatable in his prime, and had the record to prove it.
When he talkth it feelth tho thpooky and literally he giveth me goothebumpth. Honethtly the only man on earth who thkareth the shit out of me behind the TV!!!!!! Love you Mike....
Great music. Play it over and over. Never gets old
Jake Paul saying that he would beat Mike is the most delusional statement I've ever heard. He must have not seen his current training videos. At the age of 57 he still a living weapon.
If any of those training hits could connect, Jake Paul would be dead. Straight up. He doesn't have nearly enough experience to face that kind of beast, Jake wouldn't be able to register Mike's hit to stiffen his neck in time. In best case scenario he would be tetraplegic rest of his life.
Let’s be real. He says it to get people talking about him. The Paul brothers are the type of people who need people to be talking about them no matter what to pad their fragile egos. I just act like they don’t exist because I’m my mind they don’t
That's healthy way to live and I aim to same, they don't exist, but now when it's actually happening I kinda find myself waiting for Mike to put him into complete shame and retire him early.@@CapnDiddles
Jake Paul should NEVER be a part of any conversation about boxing.
Agreed!
Tyson was to Boxing what Bo Jackson was to football a person that was just faster and stronger then anyone of his era that in his prime was mythical and to the eye test absolutely the greatest of that era, but due to unfortunate circumstances we will never know the full extent of that greatness.
Preprison Tyson would not be beat by holyfield or lennox, so yes Tyson was his worst enemy.
preprison tyson got dominated and kod by james douglas who was worse than both holyfeild and lewis.. in fact holyfeild kod douglas in 3 rounds
Tyson straight forward fighter for a short guy he have no option anyway
He’s style is easier to exploit from the guys who are big able to move and can take punch .
Tyson just get closer to you he have no jab his short arm and short reach won’t help either
Then Throw a body shot into a hook or an uppercut
That’s who’s Mike Tyson is or was
He have an incredible footwork
True but he also small guy that will get tired very easily or out powered with clinches and body weight
He is very flawed as fighter due to his size
He’s one trick pony
That was easier nullify by the more bigger and skilled guys
Lewis and Holyfield destroy pre-prison Mike easier than Douglas did.
BUT DIDNT PRE PRISON TYSON GET KNOCKED OUT BY DOUGLAS IN HIS PRIME AND HOLYFIELD STOPPED DOUGLAS IN 3 RDS
@@joejoyce9979Tyson lost to himself that day… Douglas was no good fighter he didn’t defend the titles and never won anything after…
3:51 now were really about to find out🤣
Foreman explained exactly why he was a nightmare for Tyson and Tyson knew that.
❤❤ NOBODY WAS EVER AS EXCITING AS MIKE YOU HAVE TOUCHED SO MANY PEOPLE u will never meet. GOD BLESSED YOU MIKE!!!!!
I've never seen such a complete boxer as Tyson was! Best skills+power+heart like a fucking hurricane coming in and wiping out everything in front ☠️ Prime vs Prime with whatever boxers you want, Tyson is untouchable 👑 85-89' in his Prime Tyson was the most impressive Champion in heavyweight division by far 💪
We love you ❤ Mike

Gervonta: calling me short
Me: Look who’s talking
Absolutely you are right
From a lifetime of watching all manner of fighting, nothing really comes close to Mike in his prime. It doesnt matter who he beat if you are talking really analyzing the measure of a fighter, you are piecing together each's highlight reel and comparing it directly. I know you know theres no highlight reel as staggeringly awesome as Mike Tyson's. Please hit me up and direct me to the best candidate, i would very much appreciate it.
Tyson is a legend.....Best of the best....my hero....
Iron Mike Tyson...and I would like to add....Fraight train Tyson...
He hit you like a train....
He made it look easy...fight after fight. Age and life catches up to all of them sooner or later
Tyson was an animal, and I mean that with respect ! Mike was very accurate !
1986 tyson was unbeatable
Tyson really is the second best of all time. Everyone forgets about the undefeated (49-0) Rocky Marciano. Go watch some old fights of his and you wont believe it. 15 rounds of him throwing punches from every angle at about 100 per minute...each one capable of knocking you out cold. He would just wear people down and crush them.
Tyson was amazing and second to none (except one person) in his division in these categories:
-Quickness
-Defense movements
-Combinations which you normally just see some weight classes below
-Ability to endure pain - so even when he was hit, he could take it
-Aggression
Rip Muhammad Ali i miss him. Tyson is like Ali a one off. Lets be honest boxers aint like they were in tysons era or before i miss them days along with the 4 kings
Wasn’t there 4 kings?
Duran, Hagler, Robinson & Hearns?

@@fukdupdude He was powerful, but he was initially known for his speed, but that changed at some point for some reason
@@AmoredTM he wasn’t no Ernie Shavers, Joe Frazier or George Foreman.

@@fukdupdude he hit hard. That's all that matters
@@AmoredTM “it’s funny how everybody mentions Tyson’s power, but never his speed.”

The Tyson hype is still incredible. He be ONE ONE ONE ONE great fighter in their prime. And he was a blown up light heavyweight.
legendary boxers class him as legendary, and you, some nobody armchair coach can't accept it.
the arrogance to think you know better than real professionals is astonishing.
I'm watching this later. Hope Ali compares Tyson to Sonny Liston. That first Clay-Liston fight was one of the greatest expressions of Ali's raw speed and talent as a young fighter.
Tyson was taylor made for a young Foreman just like Joe Frazier was.
Tyson's FASTER than Joe Frazier.
Lazy comment. Tyson was not like Frazier, they get compared as they were smaller fighters. The Rooney Tyson would have very chance v GF, the post Rooney Tyson no chance.
Frazier had only left hand. Tyson punched with both hands.
Tyson is twice powerful and faster than Frazier and they had different styles (Cus D'Amato style in Mike's case). No chance for Foreman.
Nonsense!! Mikes speed and lateral movement and power wouldve ko’d George
I love ali being humble but he knows he can beat mike
Really? He HID from George Foreman in the ring and Tyson had at least Foreman’s punching power. And with his low IQ Ali defined arrogance.
@@RoadTripzz14 he hid from Foreman LOL pretty sure he stood right in front of him talking to him??
Foreman was a harder puncher. They all confirmed it 😂 get your facts right. Tyson I don’t think is even top 5 hardest hitters of all time.
once Robin Givens took him to the Mayo Clinic and they declared him bipolar and put him on Zoloft it ruined him as an athlete. But from 1986 to 1990 most people believed he would never be defeated. That kind of mojo is very rare. Shooting stars burn twice as bright, but only for half as long.
Tyson’s ring IQ, foot work and technique are criminally underrated… Yes, he had (I mean still fucking has) scary power, but he used those other attributes in order to be in position to deploy said power. Nobody should ever forget that he was more or less adopted by Cus D’Amato at age 13 and molded into the “ideal” peek-a-boo practitioner by the creator of the style!
Everybody who loves Boxing knows that Tysons Skill and Style for Heavyweight was the beautyfullest and most spectacular every...His kombination of strength snd speed is unreacheable
Foreman is humble. But the truth is a young Foreman was a monster, and would have beaten Tyson in 2 rounds.
That's very possible.
The thing about Tuson is he respected all of those heavyweights . Til this day hes say Foreman is the hardest hitter in their weight class. Thats nothing but respect.
Awesome 💖👍
Wilder was ALWAYS overrated. Just could hit hard but no skills
Prime tyson, early, mid, late 80s before the substance abuse, I can't see anyone, beating him, tyson vs frazier in they're prime would of been a hell of a fight stylistically
I agree, when Tyson was disciplined he moved terrifyingly fast for a heavyweight. He could somehow swing his body and use his legs to come up and deliver a body shot or headhunt you. Then he can follow up with the same friggen fist a second later. The way he moved and got within people's range put a lot of fighters on their heels. When he started living it up too much he just didn't have the same movement or stamina.
Tyson turned pro in '85. His prime is widely considered '87/'88. He fought primarily tomato cans in '85 and '86 padding his record to be fast tracked to world title fight in a sub-par HW era. Tyson is overrated by casuals. Realistically Tyson is around 10th best HW all time.
mike tyson in his prime was just a legend.he even stood out amongst all the thousands of other boxers,who by the nature of boxing,stand out from mete mortals.i would have needed a commode strapped around me and a paramedic crew on standby!
True GOAT
Butterbean really??
We'll never know how good Mike could have been ? If only cuz would have been alive to steer him ! No Don king and no jail ? He could have been the best ever without question 🥊👍🏴🥊👍🏴
Mike is the best

Rest in peace champ.
Buster Douglas lost that fight....Mike Tyson knockout record was flawless
The hell he did. He was on his knee 5 or 6 seconds into that supposed "long count," ready at any time to get up and do more damage. Tyson lost fair and square, and as we all know that was only the beginning.

How many fights do boxers???Mike Tyson had 15 fights in one year do ya history Google it..new boxing once every 1-2years ya not fighters..
Padding his record in a sub-par division to be fast-tracked for a world title ahotm
@@travzimmerman1340 na just old skool they all did that
No one could beat Tyson at his peak, not even close to him. Tyson at his peak was the strongest heavyweight boxer in history.
Also in the first interview with Muhammad Ali, at the end he said this: "But that's if he could hit me"
Mike was a legend,he was also my dad's favorite hw boxer much like fury's.
In his prime, Mike is undefeated world champion. He's a prodigy.
Evander Holyfield doesn’t get talked about enough, amazing character and was a legit unmovable wall. Even Mikes relentless offence was no match for Evander’s defence. Dude was the beast, and the nicest guy you ever met outside of the ring. God bless
I believe Forman would have ko’d Tyson in his prime
200%
Foreman could KO anyone.
Larry Holmes also said in that interview that everyone of them could have beaten Mike in their prime 😳 🤔
And Smoking Joe told him Mike couldve beat anyone of them on a good night
Not a fucking chance
We all know Larry Holmes was just a lil salty
SALTY that Mike Ko'd him in like 15 mins lol

Muhammad Ali being scared of Mike Tyson should tell you enough how great Mike is. Most boxer have Mike as one of the greatest to ever step into the ring for a reason.
I don't think that Ali would have even feigned being scared of Tyson when he was in his prime.
3:40 Wow crazy that this Jake Paul Mike Tyson match is actually going to happen now
Just Tysons mental state is thea only draw back for me man could fight but when he talked
Mike faced very few quality opponents in comparison to other notable heavyweight champions. He lost to nearly every top ranked opponent he fought. Tyson was all hype. He made a career out of sleeping nobody opponents. Holyfield dominated him. Douglas and Lewis knocked him out. Douglas was a terrible fighter too😂
Hot take.
He actually knocked Douglas out if you pay attention to the count, that's after not training and partying the entire night before with Japanese prostitutes. Every top ranked guy he fought was in the later 90's when he was way past his prime, he dominated his Era in the 80's and you can only fight who's available.
Larry holmes is arguably greater than Lennox and Holyfield and Tyson make MINCE MEAT out Holmes, who took Holyfield the distance AFTER he fought Tyson.
@@feynmanschwingere_mc2270 Larry had knockout power with just his jab. He was a beast. He was well out of his prime when he faced Tyson.
@@shaunzysk3758 he still got knocked out by a terrible fighter. Lewis easily knocked him out too 😂
