It's a very true, but also very, very, very old wisdom ; ). But every person has to really UNDERSTAND such things for themselves first, so you can give him props, he found that out by himself. edit: btw, what he says after that, is also too true. Damn, how could this cat find out all these things so quickly... He's brilliant !!!!!
Unfortunately many minds arent free anymore the masses are locked in a pyshcological prison that is holdig them in slavery black and and everyone else.just because the bankers who control us dont use violence anymore doesnt mean the masses are any less enslaved, theyeve learnt that when they use violence inevitably the people rise up because we know were enslaved so instead they put on fake smiles and pretend to be looking out for us and use deception and propoganda instead through there control of the media and as they said themsleves or at least james woolsey said "our disinformation programmr will be complete when everything the american oublic believes is false"
Impressed my azz. His sorry azz kept trying to lead Mike into saying anything to stir up some shit in our community. Damn talk show hosts and journalists have been doing this back to Jim Crow.
8:51 "You look at an eagle it will be like 300 feet in the air and it can see a field mouse and we cant see a field mouse that is 10 feet away from us, so if it can see a field mouse from u p there our eyes are not properly programmed for us to see god may be god is not meant for us to see but he is up there"- Mike Tyson Pearls of Wisdom. Simple analogy yet so much meaning in it.
Even at the young age of 27, Mike Tyson was already a wise man. After learning more about him the last few weeks, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for him. A true champion and a good person.
This guy was so miss understood, he is highly intelligent but not given the opportunity to get it across in every day life , he was painted as a bad man start to finish
@@lskiller1903 His accuser was known for being a habitual liar and lured men to cry rape more than once. Mike was made an example of because he was literally a superstar of the time, and people wanted to see one held accountable for once during a time when celebrities got off scot free all the time... even if he wasn't guilty.

@@Newtination Well now I didn't realize just how misinformed I was. Me and all of the rest of the world are certainly glad you came along with the hidden story about ole Mikey. Hell he's a saint then that donated 400 million dollars to street whores and drug dealers in the hopes that they would become a staint just like himself.
Im from the future Mike. In the year 2019 you'll be holding your own podcast called HOTBOXIN and you're a much happier person. By the way you laugh alot more also 😎🙌
joey hernandez He "converted" to Islam whilst in prison for said rape, and afterwards he renounced it on many occasions. Most prisoners do this because they get special religious privileges with regard to food and personal "worship" time. They get top shelf halal meat, for example. Like, REALLY good meat. It all depends on the specific prison of course though. Not all will fall for it. This is why you hear about so many people becoming Muslims in prison. It's not some sort of great spiritual awakening or some other such bullshit. It's because they get hooked up BIG TIME if they play it right.
Mike was so serious, humble, and focused during that 95-96 period. I think he learned a lot in that period that helped him get through the darker things that would come
no, and fuck you, you hoodlum, for suggesting that. that's all you people got. "racism this, racism that!". nothing new. plenty of intelligent black people, but mike is not one of them, except for in the ring
What a beautiful soul... I don't really care if he did it or not since that is not the point here... just watching Tyson in this clip was heartwarming.
Well said. Until I started watching his interviews i didn't realise how much of a nice guy he his it seems to me like don king made him go off the rails
Man, people always perceive Mike as an unintelligent beast that only knows the mechanisms behind fighting, harming, and being violent - but, an interview such as this one really puts his beautiful mind and way with words on display. He truly has a lot of depth, a great amount of knowledge, and the ability to express it in an eloquent manner. I wish that the entire World could see the truth of him.
I always thought that Mike Tyson was or is an intelligent person, but after hearing this interview, I realized how much more intelligent he really is. He said some really deep stuff. The scenario he gave at 8:52 was mind-blowing! that was deep. I never thought of it like that before.
So many fascinating quotes. ( We must distrust each other to prevent betrayal ). Complete honesty. Some of Mikes best years were taken away in his prime as was Ali. Truly one of the greatest.
This is why they only liked to interview Mike Tyson when he was angry because calm mike had intellect when they only wanted the world to know a monster
Mike in this interview, shows himself to be a thinker. He shows a deeper side; a philosophical side and shows that there is a real person behind the hard man exterior. I really liked this interview.
Larry: "Do you miss bonding, touching, holding?" Mike: "Everytime I was in that situation I had no other significance but to bond. After that it was emptiness, so what's the purpose of thinking about it. It would be that same as being in prison if there was no actual feelings there."
Meine Ehre Heißt Treue That was the way Cus raised him ,trained him, and taught him..... not only did they train in the gym, he trained him at home by watching endless hours of tape of old fighters
Mike Tyson is a very intelligent man, and regardless of whether or not he had an education or a sufficient education prior to his phenomenal boxing career, he had to have been a deep and creative thinker to have achieved what he did achieve, and i just feel in this interview that he was very articulate
Mike made you a believer in front of the world, no one in prison would of deared tested Mike at that time, so he was able to be gentle because he wasn't the average new comer to prison
Just his to show the intelligence . and emotional maturity that Mike has always had. Continuously Larry King tries to trick Mike into giving shocking answers by asking provocative questions to cause outrage. Despite this Mike takes the conversation to a deeper level every time quoting playwrights etc. Well done Mike genuine and honest man overcome sneaky and bitter men every time. Iron Mike is the man 💯💯💯
Mike Tyson was a big hearted, caring, loving person. The people around him ruined his life and when I see how happy he is now....I feel so good to see him like that.
Mike shows his tremendous intelligence here as well as showing humility and inner peace.I only look here at a child trapped in the body of a man who needs help and protection. God bless you Mike
Wow....listen to interview with closed eyes. Mike is so humble, it's hard to believe how deeply he thinks of life, I thought he was just the best boxer, but he is way more than that
Something about him makes me feel sad...there's a lot of heartbreak under the surface. He doesn't answer questions directly. He's been screwed over a lot.
Larry was definitely caught off guard by how intelligent mike was. Ignore the lisp and listen to his vocabulary, superb, and his ideology is great too.
@Écrivain I’m pretty sure I thought this was the first time Larry interviewed Mike, but feel free to prove me wrong. And no, I wasn’t caught off guard by this old ass clip, I’ve known Mike to be an intelligent guy from numerous other interviews waaaay before I saw this one. Well aware of his wisdom. Yours, not so much.
Tyson was waaaay underated. People don't understand that he loved his job because it was his opportunity to secure his way to freedom and make a future. He is very soft spoken and insightful showing an accurate and deep understanding of people and the world around him. Of course everybody wanted a part of that and he cant trust noone expect himself. Clever man- bless his heart
I'm not sure the last time I've heard so many enlightening things said off the cuff. The fact that it's Mike Tyson in his 20's has also caught me off guard. I'm a little bit different of a person after watching this.
1994 and this guy says "I was living a gay life" and actually meant it in the traditional sense. You really have to feel for him because he's so reflective and such a thinker, but out of touch in so many ways. He really, as he himself put it, didn't know how to act and ultimately find his place and a sense of self security for so many years.
Absolute living legend, completely misunderstood, full of animal rage (at times) and sincerely and deeply compassionate at others. The wide diversity of immeasurable greatness.
i dont know why people hate on him for these things and call him an idiot or just an animal. He actually is moderately intelligent based from what i can see in this interview or other interviews. I can guarantee know one here knows him personally, so why do you think you're at the point where you can judge him. Just because you think certain ways about a dude, doesn't make what you think true. so just stop with the shit talking or racist comments because it's just embarrassing
Tides (Slowgurt) Considering his background and the fact that he had no formal education I think he is incredibly articulate and and wise.. He is in no way a dummy people are jealous and racist and mean to speak so bad about him.
So much respect for this man just everything he has been through he persevered and today is a beautiful human being god bless u mike much love and respect from Canada 🇨🇦
.. and thinking that at this time he is in the worst years of his life, he is in the middle of his turmoil, compared to what he has become nowadays ... prison, getting high, bad companies ... and yet how calm and wise and distant from himself he talks.... really this guy has something, I honestly admire and envy him
Im so glad for Mike that he survived and came through all his dark times ... i think Fatherhood has changed him a lot .. he's a good man . look past the fact that he was an warrior and a wild animal in the ring ..hes also has a gentle side to him
I just watched this interview and I'm surprised at how thoughtful and clear minded Tyson was at the time. How come he said and did all those stupid things when he left prison? It's fascinating and sad.
this right here is an early glimpse of the Mike we know today,...he was always a smart guy,. Just needed the right people to bring out the best in him...I guess we all do
Tyson was born in the same year as me 1966 so I have always followed his career, and believe it or not he has a lot of similarities in his young life as most black men and I do and that is the prison experience. As for myself I did a 6-7 bit in the late 90's-early 2000's for a small amount of drugs(schedule 2 contr substance) less than a gram of coke, and the whole prison experience was not an unexpected experience because my whole family 2 brothers as well as 2 sisters had been or were currently in the system, so it wasn't a shock to me being in there although I was disappointed because a year earlier before my mother had passed away she was proud of me because I was the only one at that time that hadn't gone to prison, now after she had passed I was in there and very depressed that I had let her down. I will say that Tyson is right about the(P.I.C.)PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, but each person has to take it upon himself to rehabilitate themselves while they are incarcerated and find out the real reason they are inside. It took me about a year to come out of my funk against the world and the system, then take responsibility for what got me there and what I got away with over the years and never got caught for, then realize that I had to take it upon myself to get myself ready for when they would release me and not go out as I came in, and most importantly, I decided before they released me in 2004 March 26 that I would never go back or let anyone take away my freedom, fast forward to now 2018 and I haven't been back nor am I ever going back, Amen!!!
jessesam Lol. Yup, he got home sick. Being jailed almost seems inviting at times... Free food, medical, all the time to read and educate yourself rather than giving all your time/energy working a monotonous job just to pay the bills you ritually stress over, so you can maintain a place you spend 8-10 hours in (usually asleep), you also get structure and a miniature apartment... perfect for the minimalist lifestyle enthusiasts.... need I go on? 🤔... So are they really being punished? and are they really foolish or are they enlightened?
Larry King was born old
😂🤣
Lol
Master Of Disaster FUCK I laughed at that more than I should of.
😂😂
but he still looks the same
"I'm not angry at her I just despise her actions." Classic Tyson quote.
Champ 🔥
Lol
Wise words from. A Wise man
Marque Markofthebeast lol you are what people call a dumbass uneducated dumbass
@Marque Markofthebeast That's a very ignorant comment with no facts backing it up..
"Gorgeous people attract love, but they've never had to fight for love"
The man is profound.
Mike has a lot of nice quotes.
@@jayg5391 He displays such wisdom at times. So eloquent...Truly there's only one Mike Tyson
from his first book quote.

sad story .
"The only thing really free is your mind" - Mike Tyson
That qoute is so true its brilliant.
It's a very true, but also very, very, very old wisdom ; ).
But every person has to really UNDERSTAND such things for themselves first, so you can give him props, he found that out by himself.
edit: btw, what he says after that, is also too true. Damn, how could this cat find out all these things so quickly... He's brilliant !!!!!
Unfortunately many minds arent free anymore the masses are locked in a pyshcological prison that is holdig them in slavery black and and everyone else.just because the bankers who control us dont use violence anymore doesnt mean the masses are any less enslaved, theyeve learnt that when they use violence inevitably the people rise up because we know were enslaved so instead they put on fake smiles and pretend to be looking out for us and use deception and propoganda instead through there control of the media and as they said themsleves or at least james woolsey said "our disinformation programmr will be complete when everything the american oublic believes is false"
Tysons not an idiot he was a manic but not an idiot. Most of the shit he did and said was to sell tickets.
Humanfreedom95, silent weapons for silent wars.
Isn't true anymore. Governments are after the mind.
Once again mike surprises me. He was 27 here and had great intelligence and wisdom. Great interview.
27 and had more life experience than your average 50yo by the age of 12.
Ikr
Champions tend to have admirable perspectives
Not always, but Tyson is the real deal
Frfr
@Guitargreat there's a difference between intelligence and articulation.
You can tell Larry is impressed with him. Great interview
True indeed Larry did a great job as well as Mike with his elaborate answers
John Doez Larry’s great - said the key is to leave himself out of the interview

Mike Tyson, wise?
@@FLASHAHOLIC_TVunlike you, yes he's absolutely wise
This is one of the most intellectual and conscious interview I've ever heard from Mike.
Wonder why? Think jail and being ass raped has anything to do with it?
bamadeadhead could of went without the 'ass raped' part. I'm sure Mike held his own n wouldn't allow that to happen to him.

Big up the ganja and M T
And talk about magical DMT toads a lot 🐸😝
And in 2020 you will step back in the ring ! 😀
I was too dense and inexperienced back then to realize how wise and introspective Tyson was and still is.
Many of us were...
Mike Tyson is without a doubt one of the most brilliant minds in the sport of boxing
Totally agree
In America... In the world
Not just boxing, he is just intelligent
He didnt get hit so much so with all his expierence hé grew to be great not only in physical sense
Big facts
wait a minute, I just watched this whole interview and I think Mike just enlightened me 😨
I believe him, there was not rape
Alnilam82 yep same like 2 pac when ur famous people trying to accuse U for money
Or kobe
sure buddy. the guy's a muslim
Yeah..........in touch with his own feelings, too senestive to be a person capable of rape imho.
joey hernandez He "converted" to Islam whilst in prison for said rape, and afterwards he renounced it on many occasions.

One of the best Mike Tyson interviews you will ever see. RIP Larry King
Mike was so serious, humble, and focused during that 95-96 period. I think he learned a lot in that period that helped him get through the darker things that would come
"If you have something lovely someone is going to want to challenge you for it "
Mike Tyson
Larry: you're 27 years old Mike, do you feel young?
Mike: I feel good
I was in school when he was accused, still today I believe him. A huge respect to this guy how he changed his life.
Listen everyone prison is a BUSINESS, it doesn't make anyone better or helps anyone get better.
He is so interesting, articulate and real!!
Love you Mike! You will always be the CHAMP!!! Always!!!
Big love!!
/Sweden
one word ' Intelligent ' .
lmao in hood standards maybe
joey hernandez you are not very smart. Or maybe you are very young.
joey hernandez Tell me "hector" why isn't he smart? Is it because he's Black??
no, and fuck you, you hoodlum, for suggesting that. that's all you people got. "racism this, racism that!". nothing new. plenty of intelligent black people, but mike is not one of them, except for in the ring
he's super intelligent, more intelligent than people with 10 times the amount of education, you're just dumb as fuck and can't see it you broke bum
What a beautiful soul...
I don't really care if he did it or not since that is not the point here... just watching Tyson in this clip was heartwarming.
Well said. Until I started watching his interviews i didn't realise how much of a nice guy he his it seems to me like don king made him go off the rails
Adam Zillin he didn't do it it's pretty clear he didn't. He saw some messed up stuff in prison because of liars and money hungry whores.
I AGREE
So true mate. He never done anything wrong to anyone!!
Agreed, he's a good dude at heart. Just used to have some intense anger issues.
This dude is surprisingly gentle seeming and rather intelligent
Simon he did know his biological father actually. He died while mike was in prison. They didn’t allow him to attend the funeral.
He is, when he was young he raised pigeon. He just had to be a beast in the ring.
Man, people always perceive Mike as an unintelligent beast that only knows the mechanisms behind fighting, harming, and being violent - but, an interview such as this one really puts his beautiful mind and way with words on display. He truly has a lot of depth, a great amount of knowledge, and the ability to express it in an eloquent manner. I wish that the entire World could see the truth of him.
Mike is such a smart man. It’s heart breaking that so many people used him smh
So true. People call him iron, but his heart is surely made of gold. Brilliant mind.
I always thought that Mike Tyson was or is an intelligent person, but after hearing this interview, I realized how much more intelligent he really is. He said some really deep stuff. The scenario he gave at 8:52 was mind-blowing! that was deep. I never thought of it like that before.
jdac22 yeah that was genius
Very intelligent, he answers each question without thought.
jdac22 it’s wisdom
Most warriors are poets...Introspective and philosophical...Tyson is...
Even Larry was impressed
Mike dropped a bunch of gems in this interview. He's super intelligent
This is one of the best Tyson interviews I've seen, ever.
So many fascinating quotes. ( We must distrust each other to prevent betrayal ). Complete honesty. Some of Mikes best years were taken away in his prime as was Ali. Truly one of the greatest.
Maybe that's why they are assumed to be the greatest fighters.
Coz its leaves something to our imagine, what if....
This is why they only liked to interview Mike Tyson when he was angry because calm mike had intellect when they only wanted the world to know a monster
100%
He had so much wisdom even at 27, what a crazy life he was thrown into
Oh my God, this man is brilliant. I'm a university graduate with MBA but his intelligence still amazes me.
That's what I was thinking. This mans awareness is top tier. His ability to psycho-analyze his needs to protect his mind, as an example.
Mike in this interview, shows himself to be a thinker. He shows a deeper side; a philosophical side and shows that there is a real person behind the hard man exterior. I really liked this interview.
Cus's wisdom flows right through him
Mike tyson is smart and great.
Larry: "Do you miss bonding, touching, holding?" Mike: "Everytime I was in that situation I had no other significance but to bond. After that it was emptiness, so what's the purpose of thinking about it. It would be that same as being in prison if there was no actual feelings there."

Mike ran rings around Larry's provocative questioning, loved his answers.

No rape they stole the best years of his life!... 💓Tyson
Yup🤦🏿♂️😔😔

Bullshit. Her story was MUCH more believable than Tyson.

Mike shows his tremendous intelligence here as well as showing humility and inner peace.I only look here at a child trapped in the body of a man who needs help and protection. God bless you Mike
Wow....listen to interview with closed eyes. Mike is so humble, it's hard to believe how deeply he thinks of life, I thought he was just the best boxer, but he is way more than that
You can tell Larry was surprised how smart Mike is
Mike Tyson is a spiritual person
MIKE TYSON IS CALM AND COOL AND OPEN ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT MAKES HIM SO SPECIAL
It’s actually so beautiful how intellectual and eloquent mike is, he is an enigma. Love you mike
And he’s only 27
Iron Mike is the "wise man" of our time.
Something about him makes me feel sad...there's a lot of heartbreak under the surface. He doesn't answer questions directly. He's been screwed over a lot.
Real talk !!!

Larry king sounding like DJ Vlad daddy... Mike is a genuine guy
will bradford I just watched vlad too lmao
will bradford Good grief as if Larry would talk about himself - his house in Calabasas 🤣
Glad 🤣

Clever man- bless his heart
Mike was on a hole nother level....larry was trying to get a head line but mike stayed true to himself....blessings to the champ
When he is not trying to sound intimidating, just thinking and sharing thoughts, he is a very intelligent man.
It’s impresive how Mike talks, you’ll never expect that from a boxer. The magic of knowledge !
Educated , through reading , articulate young Tyson here. Class act .
I really admire him. Very profound man.
Mike is my hero more for his mind than even his boxing accomplishments. I really sincerely admire him
You can tell Larry was loving this interview even made him smile 9:10
Amazing man Mike Tyson!
Really humble down to earth, A true roll model for modern times
As crazy as this may sound. Prison might’ve saved Mike Tyson
I agree
Yep
You're right, that is crazy.
Almighty Inoa how?
Mike has said that
Amazing how he sets up "traps" in this interview for Mike to answer. You not gonna finesse Tyson, Larry.

Brakathor his life is a real journey - amazing
I think all people journey are this way if we truly look inside ourselves
@Vincent Barrett ya he did
I think that's the way he meant it but I've had a slight suspicion of Tyson.
Who are u to judge. Did u walk in his shoes? No. So....do not ever think u know.

This is one of the best interviews he’s ever given. He’s allot more intellectual then people realize
I didn’t realize how smart he already was at such a young age!! Awesome interview!!

this right here is an early glimpse of the Mike we know today,...he was always a smart guy,. Just needed the right people to bring out the best in him...I guess we all do
Tyson was born in the same year as me 1966 so I have always followed his career, and believe it or not he has a lot of similarities in his young life as most black men and I do and that is the prison experience. As for myself I did a 6-7 bit in the late 90's-early 2000's for a small amount of drugs(schedule 2 contr substance) less than a gram of coke, and the whole prison experience was not an unexpected experience because my whole family 2 brothers as well as 2 sisters had been or were currently in the system, so it wasn't a shock to me being in there although I was disappointed because a year earlier before my mother had passed away she was proud of me because I was the only one at that time that hadn't gone to prison, now after she had passed I was in there and very depressed that I had let her down. I will say that Tyson is right about the(P.I.C.)PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, but each person has to take it upon himself to rehabilitate themselves while they are incarcerated and find out the real reason they are inside. It took me about a year to come out of my funk against the world and the system, then take responsibility for what got me there and what I got away with over the years and never got caught for, then realize that I had to take it upon myself to get myself ready for when they would release me and not go out as I came in, and most importantly, I decided before they released me in 2004 March 26 that I would never go back or let anyone take away my freedom, fast forward to now 2018 and I haven't been back nor am I ever going back, Amen!!!
monti miller awesome story and wish you nothing but the best.
jessesam Lol. Yup, he got home sick. Being jailed almost seems inviting at times... Free food, medical, all the time to read and educate yourself rather than giving all your time/energy working a monotonous job just to pay the bills you ritually stress over, so you can maintain a place you spend 8-10 hours in (usually asleep), you also get structure and a miniature apartment... perfect for the minimalist lifestyle enthusiasts.... need I go on? 🤔... So are they really being punished? and are they really foolish or are they enlightened?
I love this man with all my heart. Mike the legend ❤
