@@Icarusvampire He never raped her, people from the jury who convicted him said that they would not convict him again if they tried him again because they never saw all the evidence in his defense.
Tyson is by far the most fascinating human being ever. He’s so self-aware. I’m not a boxing fan, but I am a huge sports fan and I gotta say, I’d rather meet him over any athlete from any of my favorite sports teams.
The way these interviewers prod his wounds with no understanding or compassion is disgusting. Thank you for being YOU Mike!!! You inspire me in so many ways!!!
Mike knew it too. You could tell this jackass was really irritating him with some of his questions, but Mike kept his cool. You the man Mike love ya bud.
Mike has inner demons that I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy. I love when he says, "I can handle" it because you know its a burden hes had to carry for a long time but soldiers on for himself and the poeple he loves.
MIKE TYSON HAS ALWAYS IMPRESSED ME AS AN HONEST AND GENUINE HUMAN BEING. FOR GOOD, FOR BAD, FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE -- THIS IS MIKE TYSON. PERIOD. HE WEARS NO MASK. HE IS NO FAKE. HE IS THE REAL DEAL. AND FOR THAT REASON ALONE ... HE IS A TRUE CHAMPION. I SHOULD ADD THE MAN KICKED A LOT OF ASS IN THE RING, TOO. AND HE WILL WHIP HIS DEMONS IN TIME. BEST WISHES TO CHAMPION MIKE TYSON AND HIS FAMILY.
What a real and honest interview ... Mike touched my heart and brought me to tears at the end of the interview. Matt Lauer worked beautifully with Mike. I am so glad for Mike's successes and the support and love he has in his life. And a thankful hug goes out to his good and loving wife for showing Mike the rainbow of promise he could not see above his head until her love gave him eyes to see.
One thing i respect about mike is his honesty.... It doesn't matter what it is if you ask mike he is gonna be 100 with you no matter what you think about him he will be real...esp in his undisputed truth book
One of the most insightful and honest interviews I've ever seen. I'm not advocating him or anything he has or hasn't done, but his self analysis is one of the most genuine I've ever heard
pimp8946 I've been struggling with addiction & more recently depression,anger,etc.,but mostly drugs for the better part of my life.I just wanted to say keep up the fight & no matter whatever it takes keep on keepin on.
pimp8946 me too brother. I been using drugs and alcahol my entire adult life and also relapse occasionally. Just drop it and get back on the wagon of that's what you want.
I just found this interview. Been a huge Fan since I was in middle school.. This interview highlights again what I have learned as a fan through my own life.. He is so unique not just being a prodigy of fighting but as him as a human. The way he talks comes across as not seem all that articulate and smart. Just a machine. I'm speaking from early as a kid watching him. Now he has become the most interesting, genuine, and, unapologetically honest person out there.. Just makes me love Mike even more.. Being honest and genuine which oa something no one is anymore. He is truly a one in a billion which means now a one of a kind.. Love ya Mike. Stay true!!!
At that 19th minute mark, Mike hit you with some real world truth right there. If your kids will ever amount to anything, no matter how well they have it (or what you have provided for them), there are others, in the same shoes, willing to fight harder for it.
One of the best things about Mike Tyson is there's no B.S.....he doesn't try to make himself sound better or somehow above his issues. He tells it completely like it is. It's really refreshing to hear someone ask a tough question and not see the person dancing around the answer. My respect for Mike has grown exponentially over the years.
3:14 Intresting.........I can relate..........I think a lot of us addicts fear success.... I dont know if it REALLY is a fear of success or rather a fear of FAILING at success, if that makes sense. I think I can do it, but what if I dont, then Ill have to admit to myself what a failure I am.
Quick Jack man your so there !! I'm sitting right now on my own after relapsing on a 16 day cocaine and alcohol binge where my partner has left and my youngest Boi (14) has gone back to his mum , ive done all singing laughing and joking and blaming , but I can't keep physically and mentally carrying on , so I'm now for my mental awareness I've been watching motivational talks from straight from the heart of his life and I gotta say it's calming me down !! Peace&love x
Hi Dean (Quick Jack is my old account) Sorry to hear youve been having a tough time........life certainly throws us enough challenges. I have no advice, I wish I did, but just wanted to say, wish you the best. Addiction sucks and life can be hard. Take care. I too love listening to recent Tyson vids, he speaks a lot of wisdom.
Wow! I needed this today. I am going through the same thing today that Iron Mike is going through in this video. Everything he is saying I can relate to.
As an addict I can relate to self sabotage and self destruction. We don't feel like we deserve good things to happen to us, for various reasons. Finding out that reason or reasons is important for sobriety.
He's lucky that he's talking to the new Mike & not the old one otherwise it would of been a very short video. He is brutally honest and that why I wholeheartedly believe he never rapped that girl.
Truly one of a kind. U r n always wil b th greatest n fastest strongest boxer that eva lived n champion of th world, together both u n Cus D'Amato made history on this planet. R.I.P Cus D'Amato! P&R!
I am an addict in recovery and have 2 and a half years of recovery. I can really relate to ike Tyson and hope I get to have a conversation with him some day.
+David janes stay strong guys, Write to mikes people and see what you can make happen, I done the same with Russell Brand 3 days later I was interviewing him :) x
I think you missed the point of his message. Mike is saying that he finds it difficult to know when to stop. So one or two joint could easily turn into doing smack and drinking.
Good job Mike!!! STAY SOBER!!! "One day at a time," and "keep coming back it works if you work it"!!! I got sober but years after living sober for years I was diagnosed with being chemically depressed. But only the Lord continually walks me out of the "twelve-person committee" of voices that try to deter me!!! Rely on the Lord Bro!!! Oh, and when you learn how to cry, internally and in public, you lose the need to defend if people or yourself sees you as soft or weak.This is an old interview, so I hope he is doing much better. His mind is unable to keep some thoughts in focus, but his heart seems to have been in a good place during this season.
By Any Means Necessary You know nothing about my life. I woke up with that spirit once, but it’s never been a constant thing as some people say. I suggest a lot of prayer and change of focus. A lot of depression comes from what we choose to focus on. Change the way you think.
You can tell when mike is getting annoyed even while he’s trying to be polite.... He has that demeanour that makes him a scary guy.... But he’s a great man..... wish him all the best!
Mike is so genuinely profound that right when his apparent lack of intilect makes you uncomfortable, he drops a right hook of wisdom that knocks you the fuck out!
I really like tyson .thank you to share you feeling.i mean.what boxer did share so much about himself than tyson?? I think its precious,he is so human.
It’s sad to hear him talk about the inner war...such torture. I understand his struggle with that inner war when alone as I’ve been there. Those who criticize him have no idea what he went through so it’s not surprising to see he continues to struggle even now.
One of the greatest battles you will go through in life, yes you, will be the battle that goes on in your mind. It is said that an un-distracted mind is the breeding grounds of negative thought.
@@boldventuresintl I find life boring and dull .I find people stupid and I drink to tolerate everything i think...when I tried being sober it was boring and uneventful
Man I’m in tears..... I don’t like the sober guy that I am.... But looking back, the only reason I survived 3yrs of prison is because for 35 months I didn’t have a drink... I have a hyper sense of surroundings and I see the danger, I don’t like how I feel after stoping the danger, because of the empathy I still feel for the person I had to stop... That’s why I don’t care if I hurt myself, it doesn’t bother me as bad even f I’m forced to hurt another....
Agreed. "I'm the King of the barbarians, there's no one that can surpass me in the pain I've endured" shit gives me chills. Mike says stuff in his interviews that hits into your soul, especially if you known true struggles in life.
Can’t believe the interviewer said “are you a present father to the ones still around.” What a callous remark to make, knowing his daughter died at 4 years old. 🧐 I wouldn’t fancy saying that to Mike Tyson’s face. 😲
Right I agree with that man I can't believe that interviewer said are you a present father to the ones who are still around what why would you ask Mike tyson that question wtf that interviewer is a douchebag I think that guy is a asshole
Lee Lankford In my opinion that's because he really holds nothing back & as you said in your 1st comment he's the realest.He always comes from the gut.I can listen to him all day.
You can hear the lion breathing inside him… only time I heard this breath was in the innate anger a lion breathes. It’s like they are angry in themselves and can’t take it anymore so they might give you a share of it.. the man felt such pain in his life and still managing to control it
When iron Mike stood there in front of Michael Spinks to unify the titles... he was at his peak and focused on his art... at that moment would have destroyed all heavy weights past and present... including Johnson, the Manassa mauler, Ali etc... right through to present day so called champs... God bless him... and hope he truly appreciates his beautifull wife and family who've got his back...
The reason why all Tyson interviews felt so awkward and forced is because all that realness cant be contained... Mike Tyson have no concept of putting on a fake persona
I went to rehab and everyone was junkies or drank the second they woke up.i drink after I take care of shit because I find everything dull and boring and I don't like a sober me
he is the realest human being ever........witness!!!!
damn straight
Absolutely correct!!!!!
💯
ur not a bad guy mike, sober or drunk. love you
I see it the same i love this person i whant too meet him an feel his present
@@Icarusvampire He never raped her, people from the jury who convicted him said that they would not convict him again if they tried him again because they never saw all the evidence in his defense.
I hope he lives to be a hundred. Imagine how wise he'll be by then. He'll be one of the wisest humans that ever lived!! Love u Mike 👍
David Wilder
I hope so too, I have that fear people like him with a big heart don't live long, wish him all the best and his family.
@Fit Boy Abdul Hahaha well spotted. I cant help it im a mega fan ✌😊
Amen.
I was just thinking that
Such a beautiful man.. so touching the way he talks about his kids and his childhood, simply one of the G.O.A.T
:D:D Really, Really??
Tyson is by far the most fascinating human being ever. He’s so self-aware. I’m not a boxing fan, but I am a huge sports fan and I gotta say, I’d rather meet him over any athlete from any of my favorite sports teams.
"Why would i wanna be relaxed with you?"
LMFAOOO
T.B.E
See, he knew. Lol
I thought he switched to that iron Tyson mood
God bless you Mike. I was incredibly moved by this interview
frank incense me too
The way these interviewers prod his wounds with no understanding or compassion is disgusting.
Thank you for being YOU Mike!!!
You inspire me in so many ways!!!
LiberatedSoul1111 They're just fuckin puppets, under the illusion that they're better than most just because they're on TV.
@@bigcee8393 so true I've always felt that some of these interviewers try to act like their all that and smart.
Mike knew it too. You could tell this jackass was really irritating him with some of his questions, but Mike kept his cool. You the man Mike love ya bud.
The reporter's people are naturally exploitative.
Mike has inner demons that I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy. I love when he says, "I can handle" it because you know its a burden hes had to carry for a long time but soldiers on for himself and the poeple he loves.

Tony Learner whowastototototo
Same from my heart
Amazing interview. Tyson shows just how intelligent he is here.
This guy Matt is really bad. Mike is so sober he handled this punk better than many people.
Kazi Rasheedi Tyson couldn’t relax because Matt is an evil person
One thing i respect about mike is his honesty.... It doesn't matter what it is if you ask mike he is gonna be 100 with you no matter what you think about him he will be real...esp in his undisputed truth book
One of the most insightful and honest interviews I've ever seen. I'm not advocating him or anything he has or hasn't done, but his self analysis is one of the most genuine I've ever heard
notice matt is talking down to mike. matt missed a chance to be real .what a chump
Mike knew but rose above it making him the better man
Iam battling alcohol addiction and recently relapsed so god thank you mike I needed this so much

pimp8946 hang in there, you can do it.
Hope you are doing well and are as happy, joyous, healthy & free as is humanly possible...

Mike Tyson is one of the most unique and intriguing individuals god has ever made. He doesn’t sugar anything. The realist to ever do it.
🐐
I love the fact Mike don't beat around the bush.or sugarcoat nothing everything straight raw talk
DTB He never has,at least not in any interview I've seen him do.
At that 19th minute mark, Mike hit you with some real world truth right there. If your kids will ever amount to anything, no matter how well they have it (or what you have provided for them), there are others, in the same shoes, willing to fight harder for it.
You gotta love him. Innocence beneath huge power.
"I don't live life well"....I would bet that he doesn't have the monopoly on that....a lot of us feel that way and deeply...
This qoute is true to more then ppl are willing to admit
Why would he want to relax with Matt Lauer...lol
grigsolve That part was hilarious
Bodied lol
I hate Matt he is worthless. Mike rules.
One of the best things about Mike Tyson is there's no B.S.....he doesn't try to make himself sound better or somehow above his issues. He tells it completely like it is. It's really refreshing to hear someone ask a tough question and not see the person dancing around the answer. My respect for Mike has grown exponentially over the years.
Matt Lauer isn't a 10th of the man Mike Tyson is...
True since he got kicked out of NBC for sexual assault allegations
But Matt Lauer is fully developed human being; Tyson is not.
Nobody is like Mike. We're lucky to live in the time of Mike
Love this dude! One of my childhood heroes and still a legend

wing....wing....wing.....wing
There was one honest man in this interview....Mike needs to go back and interview Matt now.
David McCracken for real!!!
Most of us we are not true to ourselves it’s the most hardest and painful to see who you are .
Thank you Champ
He's lucky that he's talking to the new Mike & not the old one otherwise it would of been a very short video. He is brutally honest and that why I wholeheartedly believe he never rapped that girl.
It's just so easy to love this guy, he sounds like an older brother, wiser, caring and protecting a very good honest friend.
He became champ not for his power and speed but because behind the lisp, the tears, and the humility is a genius. One day he will be severely missed.
Truly one of a kind. U r n always wil b th greatest n fastest strongest boxer that eva lived n champion of th world, together both u n Cus D'Amato made history on this planet. R.I.P Cus D'Amato! P&R!

David J nice bro, hope it's still going strong if that is still your wish.
Iv`e always got him but what a beautiful intelligent man.
If smoking the occational joint makes you happy and keeps you content:Smoke a joint! Hell,smoke three......
I think you missed the point of his message. Mike is saying that he finds it difficult to know when to stop. So one or two joint could easily turn into doing smack and drinking.
John one is too many and a thousand is not enough for people like me n Mike.
Mike we all love you, your the best fighter of all time and one of the realest dudes I've ever seen, God bless you and your family Mike.
Mike is so interesting, loved it. Props so Matt, really good direction throughout the interview

What a fantastic interview of Mike being so candid and himself.
I love you Mike. Your real as fuck
Your the greatest mike

I really like tyson .thank you to share you feeling.i mean.what boxer did share so much about himself than tyson?? I think its precious,he is so human.
Mike Tyson is more intelligent than I know, and knows things we don’t.
Mike Tyson probably doesn’t realize how much he helps other ppl by having these talks....
Merry Xmas Iron Mike ! God bless ,love your resiliency ,rawness ,he keeps it 💯,got so much heart
Mike Tyson wont get your message, he does not view this channel, if you want to follow him, he has a channel on youtube...THAT he does follow.
I love you, Mike. You're much spirit animal.

Start a hotbox and become the happiest mike ever
He is a good man. Honesty! I love it
he is the most intense person iv ever witnessed, you can really feel the tension in the room, unreal!! Love that!!

What a great interview. Matt wasn't being a dick, and Mike was showing another chapter in his life. "The next scene" Luv from Indiana.
You can hear the lion breathing inside him… only time I heard this breath was in the innate anger a lion breathes. It’s like they are angry in themselves and can’t take it anymore so they might give you a share of it.. the man felt such pain in his life and still managing to control it
He is a legend and my hero
I’m a great fighter but I can’t live life well I can relate
He never had no peace, First step was letting go of the devils money.
vevo maxx haha word up my bro
Right!
When iron Mike stood there in front of Michael Spinks to unify the titles... he was at his peak and focused on his art... at that moment would have destroyed all heavy weights past and present... including Johnson, the Manassa mauler, Ali etc... right through to present day so called champs... God bless him... and hope he truly appreciates his beautifull wife and family who've got his back...
'King of the Barbarians '
Just stay with AA mike n stay with people who r in the same boat as you they will help you!!!
What press conference is Matt referring to?
Mike always forever we all are human we are all fucked up
I'm a drunkard. Mike is my guardian. I relate to everything he says about addiction, especially that we share alcohol as our curse.
james rustler and I sir.
The reason why all Tyson interviews felt so awkward and forced is because all that realness cant be contained... Mike Tyson have no concept of putting on a fake persona
Love u Mike you’re an honest man
god i love mike
Mike has more intellect than his interviewer. Why all the question. He has more honesty.
Mikes Reaction when he asked about his Wifes * Bravery ...
Excuse me? 😂❤
Faith ♥️
he's a great character i hope he never does commit suicide & take people wit him
I went to rehab and everyone was junkies or drank the second they woke up.i drink after I take care of shit because I find everything dull and boring and I don't like a sober me
"I'm the king of the barbarians" Mike Tyson
RESPECT MAN!
tyson is so fuckin scary lol
Mike is the realest. He had the toughest childhood, he's a victim and product of the neglect of his parents, specifically his mother.
NO SOCIETY FAILED HIM AND POSSIBLY HIS MOTHER AND POSSIBLY EVEN HIS FATHER IF HE KNEW WHO HIS FATHER WAS!!!!!!
so weird he is asking questions like he is an alien
