@thewelshviper but I’m just saying that they should be able too multitask by studying the arts of fighting and actually training how to fight if they really are dedicated like they claim they are
I agree. He really sets that typical”fighters ego” aside, and give props to those who came before him. He almost cried when asked about Ali or Robinson
Anyone watching this, pay some heed. Mike was one of the true students of the game. He doesn't talk boxing much anymore, but trust me when I tell you, he spent close to 7 years of his life doing nothing but studying fighters. He is one of the top experts in boxing still alive today.
Tyson wasn't only a fighter, he was also always a student of his craft. Love how he respects those that paved the way. I mean Rocky Marciano was fighting for peanuts at one time and knocking boys out.
I fought Rocky with one hand tied behind my back.... He knocked me out in one half of one second. Worst year of my life. I couldn't get up after the 80th round. Then I was born and he beat my mom.
Tyson: most consecutive 1st round KO's to begin a career. Youngest heavyweight champion in history. First heavyweight champion to ever unify the division by winning the WBC,WBA, and IBF titles. Successful
David Fitzgerald bitchko sisters are trash and get spanked by any good heavyweight. Tyson, foreman, Ali, Frazier, shavers would have probably killed those two.
@aaron pryor Bullshit. How can you record something like that. Tyson had the weakest. Hes all hype. Great buildup and great job by his management and the media to create such a hype. But he wasnt great as a boxer. He would have problems against the better heavyweights of history. All that fake "im such a savage" shit doesnt work on the big names
I trained Mike Tyson with Cus D'amato back in the 80s. We both inculcated in Tyson a ferverous interest in 'past boxers' -showing him MUCH footage of boxers from yesteryear. He esp. became a fan of Jack Dempsey, but also found and developed respect from many other boxers as well (Jack Johnson, Muhammad Ali, etc. etc.). I introduced Tyson to the term, "leery" which for awhile in the 80s became one of his favorite words. I also use to tease him by 'imitating' his lisp and N.Y. accent...
@@CarefaceKarl yeah his explanation sounds like bullshit, a bolt fell out of his glove and he kept it for 50 years? Thats ridiculous he was just upset about getting dominatedm
Jack Dempsey was a straight-up street brawler. He wasn't a prize fighter. He would fight in saloons to earn enough money to eat. He was poor, grew up hard, and life made him as tough as nails. Savage and brutal, with stone fists and a bad disposition in the ring. All of those things Tyson saw in himself.
he watched the older fighters like a kid would watch old pro wrestlers ..or old football players .. like he had that level of enthusiasm and love for it .. even after the money came and he became bigger then life ..all you had to do was toss out a classic name like joe gans or jack Dempsey ..and it was like time stood still mike got that child like look on his face and he'd be transfixed going on about the fighters ... so much enthusiasm
perfect video. nostalgia in nostalgia:) We see that Mike had a great tutelage under Cus D'Amato. He doesn't only know them generally but knows many details such as the "quick count" in the long count match and the "relief" of Cindrella (Yeah, today everybody knows him from the movie but that movie wasn't there in Mike's time ).
Tyson was a lot lower than that. Tyson was 213 in jose ribalta fight and 212 in the don halpin fight. Liston never cracked 220 until 1967, 2 years after the ali fight. His weight slowly went up from 198 in the start of his career in 54 up to around 210-215 by the ali fight. Holyfield often came in weights from as low as 205-217 in the lennox fight. Foreman is a big guy. I don't think most HW of the past would have trouble adding weight. They had to fight alot more rounds back then.
The lowest I can remember Tyson was 216 against Spinks and in the Ruddock rematch, usually around 220, Liston was usually around 220, Holmes was, Holyfield fought around 215 at HW, Foreman weighed 220 against Ali. Marciano was only about 185. There were a lot of HWs around 200 back in the day but 200 now is the lower limit of the HW division. Dempsey apparently didn't eat for three days before fights and most likely wouldn't qualify as a HW now.
For those watching the video and not arguing about how great Tyson was, this is interesting because Tyson's first big manager, Jimmy Jacobs, was a fight historian and had the world's biggest collection of old fights that Tyson used to watch when he was young.
Something tells me the MOB were always heavily involved in boxing, they used to give certain boxers the hard plaster gloves and play a few other dirty tricks. Boxing is a rough sport but you gotta love it
Probably got caught up in the moment, Willard was 6'6 and dempsey 6'1 also fought out of a bit of a crouch so from just looking at the tape one could conclude he was a small man. But you are right.
The irony is I see guys like seth mitchell 6'2 1/2 weighing 250 pounds of "muscle" getting knocked out by Cruiserweights like Jonathan Banks who just barely make the heavyweight limit. Whjen I ssee boxers like Lennox Lewis and Klitschko getting knocked down or out by guys weighing 220 with big pot bellys like samuel peters or hasin rahman, i don't doubt that a guy with no fat like dempsey or marciano could not replicate it.
Bro Dempsey did it against the 240 pound Willard. He would fucking annailate what's out there now . His a different breeed. The history if the heavyweight division has proved that the smaller heavyweights are the superior fighters. You can actually be too big for this sport. These guys out there now are shit. Too much muscle, not enough snap and no enough skill period. Weight training is a no no. Ali ,.tyson , none of those guys used it and they were better fighters for it. There's alot wrong with the sport today.
Of course they "can do it" - hell! - you think mike Tyson was in anyway or form a "big guy"?? As with Marciano the vast majority of his opponents were advantaged in height, weight and reach - yet he destroyed them on the ring.
@@hernandayolearyallda Yeah. Seventy-five - right? Joe Louis when fighting Marciano I mean - he was 75-77 more or less, right? Also guys like Wacott or Lastarza were - more or less - of "his size"...riiiight...
@@2serveand2protect 75-77 what? Joe Louis was broke, came out of retirement at almost 40 years old to fight to pay off a tax debt to IRS. Yes, he fought guys of a similar size like Walcott.
@HellsHighwayTrooper well Dempsey was also underweight for this fight. He was going through hard times and he still had to train and fight leading up to the Willard fight. But, regardless, it didn't matter, Dempsey summoned inhuman willpower and ferocity and hit Willard with some serious injuries that would have literally killed a man who didn't have Willard's size and hulk-like strength. There were times when an impoverished Dempsey, out in the West, went days without food and still won fights.
The only undefeated champion who retired as the champion in his prime with a 49-0 record. Rocky Marciano.... Even Clay said that in Rocky's prime he could not have beaten him.
When Ali said, he couldn't have beaten Rocky Marciano, he actually meant he couldn't have knocked him out, but can win him on points....Rocky was a hell of a slugger, many of his long fights ended leaving him with hanging chin and broken nose towards the end of the fight, but no one could knock him out, he was crazy.....On the other hand there was no match for Ali's speed, he could have taken down R.M thru points.

I can't think of any. To me the perfect weight seems to be around 200-215 pounds. Anything bigger I notice guys have endurance issues. Ali at his best was around 212 and Tyson about the same, as Joe Louis and Jack Johnson Dempsey and Marciano.

6ft1in is pretty small for a heavyweight fighter i suppose back then fighters were smaller so he probably was quite tall but jess willard towered over dempsey
Ali never said that in fact he said the opposite. That he would have whooped rocky. Tyson was a big deal, most knockout in a row, youngest champ ever, fought all the best guys around
@Tzefri84 Hmm yeah i would understand if they just said "Dempsey the smaller man in this fight.." but they didnt they just called him a very small man lol
@RockawayRiotSquad Fighters that would have probably beaten prime Tyson: George Foreman, Muhammed Ali, Sonny Liston. As for frail jawed Lennox Lewis, his performance in the first round of his fight with Tyson (when Tyson knocks him backwards onto his heels WITH A JAB, and generally manhandles him) sheds light on what would happen in the first 5 rounds of a fight with Tyson in his prime. This is unless Lewis uses a hugging and jabbing strategy. He might win that way.
My point here is that there is a lot of controversy surrounding his fight with Willard. When reading about this fight (which is all we can do, really) there were a lot of signs that point to Johnson throwing the fight. Now, it can be argued if you are going to throw a fight, why take it in to the 26th round. I get that. However, often fighters who took dives did not do so until given the green light (i.e. money has changed hands). Hell there have been plenty of examples of fighters going in to a fight that is legit, and in the middle of the fight were offered bribes to take a dive. My personal opinion on this matter is that Harry approached Jack toward the latter stage of the fight with the offer, and at some point he was given evidence (either Lucille or Frederick whom he trusted) after given the go ahead. I'm not sure what the 10 count has to do with anything, other than we can see here the man was clearly conscious. We have evidence of that.
4:15 he isnt shielding his eyes hes holding his head cuz it hurts. what a rediculous statement. i had a head on head in rugby and went down and my hands went up to my face too. i guess that being said i wasnt "knocked out" i was just out for the match and had to go to the hospital and get stitches and cte's
@RockawayRiotSquad Too slow for WHAT? a match that pits Foreman against Tyson is not going to be a technical Boxing match. Any fighter that can only fight coming forward loses to George Foreman. Tyson sure as heck isn't going to push Foreman back, so the match is going to be brawling and grappling deep inside. Foreman liked uppercuts, Tyson was particularly vulnerable to them, and deep on the inside, there is nowhere to run from them. Tyson doesn't handle adversity well.
@LT1HILLINGHOE Tyson fired all his trainers before the Buster Douglas fight,he got Don King and died.In his prime he was great(Not the best who knock out everyone in the 1st round) but great.Btw Ali in a fight with prime Tyson would end with a 4th round KO due to the tysle that Ali can not handle.
@PunisherLobo LOLOLOLOL....a prime tyson would lose just like a prime tyson did lose. Tyson has never been a big deal. Just ask Buster Douglas about a "prime" tyson. LOLOLOLOL
@PunisherLobo Yeah, I was paying homage to your mama with my screen name. You figured that one out, skippy. Buster Douglas for the KO win over a "in his prime" tyson, extra chromosome boy.
@PunisherLobo LOLOLOLOLOL....just what I though. You have no reply other than bs blah blah blah. Buster Douglas for the KO win over tyson You can't change facts, homer. The End.
Tyson was never a big deal. And I don't care if Buster lost every fight he was ever in after that. He beat tyson and I was cheering loudly when his lispy ass went down. Tyson was/is an embarassment to boxing.

Tyson. True student of boxing
Not just his height, Dempsey was only about 200lbs, not a small man in general but he was a very small HW.

I love how at 4:40 when Willard got his hand raised he just goes to hop out the ring, job done lol not like he had just won the world title 🤣🤣
Fighting a professional boxing without eating for 5 days, fucking hell that's pretty badass.

Tyson fired all his trainers before the Buster Douglas fight,he got Don King and died.In his prime he was great(Not the best who knock out everyone in the 1st round) but great.Btw Ali in a fight with prime Tyson would end with a 4th round KO due to the tysle that Ali can not handle.
@TuRkmEnOkaN yeah i know they did.. lol
うわあ、ジャックヤバイからだしてるなあ
Did he talk about Buster Douglas?
You like making up BS as you go.
49-0
@RossKempOnYourMum01 O_O
jack johnson the greatest
second ali
third mike tyson
Dempsey would kill tyson
@PunisherLobo LOLOLOLOL....a prime tyson would lose just like a prime tyson did lose. Tyson has never been a big deal. Just ask Buster Douglas about a "prime" tyson. LOLOLOLOL
5:28 why help him back up? racists
@MoManny circa my ass!
@PunisherLobo Yeah, I was paying homage to your mama with my screen name. You figured that one out, skippy.
Buster Douglas for the KO win over a "in his prime" tyson, extra chromosome boy.
@PunisherLobo LOLOLOLOLOL....just what I though. You have no reply other than bs blah blah blah.
Buster Douglas for the KO win over tyson You can't change facts, homer.
The End.

Boxtop Letter

Boxtop Letter 😴😴😴😴
Kevin L you're crazy
Jack johnson doesn't belong in the top 2 Imo, it goes:
1. Ali
2. Louis
3. Marciano
4. Foreman
5. Tyson
Marciano is the best
Tyson was never a big deal. And I don't care if Buster lost every fight he was ever in after that. He beat tyson and I was cheering loudly when his lispy ass went down. Tyson was/is an embarassment to boxing.
LT1HILLINGHOE ye fucking idiot
Totally bulshit you have inside head. Wake up and apologize what you wrote man or women or WHO actually are you.
