      I saw Tyson fight live at the Felt Forum, before he became champ. His opponent was a huge white guy named Sammy Schaf - as best as l can spell it. As big a s his opponent was, he stood no chance. Tyson administered such a beating, that the the fight ended, mercifully, before the end of the second round due to the one-sided pummeling Tyson was administering and Sammy’s nose bleeding profusely! If Tyson had been able to retain his previous team - pre Don King, l could not see anyone defeating him, IMHO. Add Robin Givins and her mother to the mix and he couldn’t stand a chance! I’m just happy that with all of his trials and tribulations, he had the wherewithal to rise above it all, go through a type of resurrection and become a devoted family man and a successful and productive individual!

    Utterly outstanding interview, or perhaps I should say "sitdown"!. I always enjoy Michael's postings but I believe this will go down as one of the very best. I have to admit to not knowing of "Big Joe" before this video but I'll be buying his book forthwith. There were so many personal insights of Joe and his associates/friends to be gleaned, as well as many life lessons that can serve everyone well. No-one is ever too old to learn and improve in life, no matter what path their life has taken them. Michael conducts his interviews superbly, especially this one, and whilst Joe admitted to having the "gift of the gab", his humility shone through. Both Michael and Joe have had their challenges and ups and downs in life, but it is heartwarming to see their positivity and love of family shine through. Chapeau to both of you guys, inspirational.

      My great×5 uncle Michael Corcoran led the first Irish militia in New York. Around the time of the civil war, and I think they made him a general. He also was one of the founding fathers of the fenian brotherhood. New York was rough as hell in the mid to late 1800s. They wanted his head when he refused to have his militia salute the visiting prince of Wales, and the fact he was a confidante of the president was the only thing that saved him. Interesting history.

    It’s comforting to listen to a bear of a man who’s brave, courageous and fought against legends, speak so honest and humbled.

    In a day and age with SO much negativity surrounding us, the flip side is that this is an AMAZING time to be gifted with this kind of quality broadcast... Michaels broadcast, Mike Tysons broadcast, etc. It IS a blessing to see and hear an inside, honest view of things we'd otherwise never know about. Im really grateful for that.

    What a character this Joe Eagan is. What a life he's lived. Great story teller. Kudos to you Mr Franzese for introducing him to we, the uninitiated, Glad to see both of you have risen up after your respective falls from grace and are doing well for yourself and for everyone around you including us. I'll keep watching your channel because I enjoyed this video so much.
