@Christopher Poss I will love to see u say that in front Tyson, at his prime or now that he is 56 it doesnt matter, he will make you his personal Chrisy 😁
That exchange at 5:45 is one of the best examples of boxing skill ever. Tyson's incredible defense followed by one sharp calculated blow sending Gross to the mat boxing perfection.
I'm 50 now but I remember most of Iron Mike's fights I have great memories of where I went to watch the Pay Per View fights and can honestly say that Tyson was the most effective, intense fighter ever. Glad he's back on the right track and wish him the best! Thank you Mike
Superior CBD I'm right with you bro. I remember those fights too. I consider Mike and Kobe's pro careers very similar. They both went thru some adversity and became OUTSTANDING citizens, family and humble men in the end.
@@Getithowyoulive863 Ali was class. Fooled around. Even said what round you were going down. Tyson is no difference to Frazier. Same style, same everything.
I have never seen anyone absolutely destroy people in a more consistently brutal manner than Mike Tyson. Couple times he even went to pick the person up after he blasted them. He's got a good heart regardless of his mistakes and I am glad to see him doing well to this very day.

There is not enough I can say about Mike Tyson without getting emotional. Boxing has been my life for over 40 years and I simply love the sport like I love my own kids. I've witnessed some of the greatest Heavyweights ever in my lifetime and what I can say is that I've never seen any Heavyweight as unique as Mike Tyson. The world has never seen anyone like him before or after him. The speed, the ferociousness, the accuracy, the athleticism, the elusiveness......no one, no one matches Tyson. There's a reason why the world is still so fond of Tyson even to this day and there's a reason why he was the youngest Heavyweight champion ever - Mike Tyson was unique and personally, it was an honour and a pleasure to witness him in my lifetime. What a fighter, what a legend!! What I always implore his critics is, never judge Tyson's place in Heavyweight history on his post-prison career when 4 long years of inactivity destroyed the most wonderful fighting machine we've ever witnessed in our lifetime.
During the early 90's: I met Mike Tyson twice in Las Vegas...both times I yelled,"Hey CHAMP!"...and both times Mike Tyson acknowledged me with a smile. The 1st meeting was at a car dealership(Mike paid cash for a Chevy Corvette). The 2nd time he was shopping alone at the Fashion Show Mall on the Strip(usually he's with 2 HUGE bodyguards)...he had a ton of shopping bags! Good times!
R M So true Tyson has fans all his own best fighter in the history of the sport of boxing. When Tyson was boxing I never missed a fight and looked forward to the next fight no fighter has ever filled that void at least for me. I don't think anyone ever will live up to Tyson and the impact he had on boxing.
R M, I am Cuban, 53, and love boxing more than a lot of things in life, go find out about a heavyweight Cuban boxer called Teofilo Stevenson. just check that guy out.
@@poweredbygarri1 If height meant nothing then there would be a much greater spread of heavyweight heights. However, there are not.

@joek money lol @Wilder, he has about 2% of the ferocity and genuine hate that Tyson had.... truth is mike was scared to fight/lose that's why he had no choice but to destroy.

Trouble was the sponsors never had much TV exposure time,it was like 'ding ding,crash,bang,wallop,game over,the best advertising space was on the soles of the boots of Tyson's opponents.
Mike Tyson had ALL the components of what makes a great champion: power, speed, endurance, footwork, aggressivity, spot on timing, distance management, drive, pride, motivation, grit, resilience, perseverance, you name it! All of them! Most champions, even the greatests, excel in a few of these qualities, but not all of them. His path is unparalleled. Each time I watch his fights, my mouth remains opened in complete aw.
@@juliuscalo9172 - Based on what? His win over a 38 year old Larry Holmes, or a beefed up light heavyweight. He never beat a great heavyweight under 38 years old and lost the 3 times he tried. He was thoroughly beaten at 23 by Buster Douglas who was very good, but never considered a great fighter.Yeah, that sounds like the record of the greatest fighter of all times. Have you seen Ali's record or Sugar Ray Robinson, or George Foreman or many many others who were far better than Tyson ever was. Don't get me wrong, Tyson was very good, but no where near the best.
That foreman took off 20yrs from boxing return in his 40s and was knocking out opponent in their 20s and 30s. You are right. Imagine foreman in his prime. Tyson wouldn't stand a chance.
You said it. Agree 150%. That's what made him scary in his prime. You could see the great on the eyes of most that fought him. He should be "the greatest"... Not Ali
After Wilder got beat so brutally it heals my soul rewatching these highlights by mike lol I’m thinking Roy Jones Jr next up on my to watchlist lol these new boxers could never be like the old greats 🙅🏽♂️
IRON MIKE in his prime can take anyone, anytime, past present and future.... THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE IRON MIKE TYSON!!! We love you Mike... always will brother 😎
@@s.sarjonmahmud6231 No doubt Ali would land several jabs. But after a few blows from Tyson, Ali would struggle. In the end, I believe Tyson would come out on top. Look at what Tyson did to Larry Holmes! Yes Larry was 38 at the time of their fight, but he was still a top-notch challenger! Personally, I consider Holmes, on a good day, to be every bit as good as Ali. His boxing stats prove this!
When Mike said, "Even though a lot of you don't like to hear it, it's facts.. I'm the best! Sometimes I don't believe it myself, but its the truth!" I felt that in the pit of my soul.
Это так!! Много достойных боксеров, сильных, чемпионов! Но такого как Тайсон не было и может не будет!! Величайший спец своего дела. Мастер от Бога!! Такие как он рождаются раз в сотни лет! И остаются в истории! Здоровья и всего самого доброго самому молодому абсолютному чемпиону всех версий Бокса!!
I was a poor kid with a free HBO weekend, or Showtime... Tyson was fighting. The dudes aura was scary. I was frightened in my living room. The man was legitimately terrifying in every way, and the world felt it. You had to be there...
2020 and I still watchin all his vids. The way he is now.. is truly amazing. He took what he did, and grew. It takes a MAN to grow. To CHANGE. He did it all, and no matter what he did in the past, I'm proud of the MAN.
My Dad loved boxing. He was a quiet unassuming and kind man who worked hard from 14 and died too young. Every time I watch the great Mike Tyson fight, I always wish my Dad had lived to see him
The 1986-89 Mike Tyson was the greatest Heavyweight Champion whoever lived. He was the most ferocious brutal fighter I've ever seen. His career plummeted after Kevin Rooney was no longer his trainer.
Speed beat power the problem was Tyson has crazy speed and crazy power very hard to see, as you say for me in his prime was the best of the best...imposible to beat Tyson in that time.
Age beat him, and prison... nothing to do with his trainer. He was never in the same shape when he came back. Looked good, pretty good power, but he was not as on target and as lightning fast and brutal as he was in his prime. He was just an old dog by that time trying to maintain his glory days
@@jasonhensley2086 He left Kevin Rooney before he went to prison, and he went with Don King that was his down fall. He stopped training like he had always trained. And it cost him, it tarnished his legacy.
I agree with you Jason but the lack of Kevin Rooney as his trainer did have something to do with it. He didn't have Kevin Rooney as his trainer when he fought Buster Douglas. That day Buster Douglas fought Mike Tyson Buster Douglas could've gone toe to toe with anybody. He fought a brilliant fight.
In retrospect we can all really see and witness how truly great of a boxer Tyson was. People used to say back in the day that he was just a puncher and he fought a bunch of bums. He fought guys that were way bigger and heavier than him. He was a small heavyweight, his speed power and boxing style could not be challenged. He is in my mind the best ever!!
In retrospect he never had a big career defining victory. He cleared out an aging middle of the road division of the late 80's and is a top 10 to 15 all time heavy weight. He isn't the best and he isn't top 5. Mike needed a big win against another great fighter close to their prime. His career defining victories are over Spinks and an older Larry Holmes. Not enough. That's really the retrospective on Mike. He sure was exciting though.
@@thechad3239 How would you know ? Based on what ? Because he beat Tony Tucker and Trevor Berbick ? We really have nothing to go on except that he wasnt unbeatable, he dominated a weak division and never beat another great fighter. Wilders pretty inconsequential to the argument.
@@thechad3239 But I do agree an 85 to 88 Tyson was capable of beating any HW ever, I just have my doubts on whether he would have or not. Does he beat Ali, Joe Frazier, Foreman ? These are all great great fighters. Tyson never got in the ring against fighters of that ilk and when he did, he lost. It's all speculation so we can only go on what he did accomplish and the defining victory of his prime years was vs Michael Spinks.
Iron Mike Tyson.. what can critics and analysts say... But utter dominance. His bob and weave technique and side to side foot movement to position himself for the devastating combos nad power. Ive watched every fight of his i could ever find. And never in boxing history even when fights would last 50 to 75 rounds. Back in Jack Johnson days of bare knuckle boxing. Tyson is like a black hole in the 80's and 90's a once in a lifetime fighter. Never will we ever see another boxer. The only close one is Tommy "The Machine Gun" Morrison. Who had the gift like tyson but HIV stopped his career before he was just like Tyson. GOAT. And true ledgend of the squared circle and icon to all ture pugilists, past history,present and future Boxes
I could watch Tyson all day. Poetry in motion - blistering hand speed, faultless footwork and head movement. Dodging shots so easily that seasoned pros were made to look like clumsy amateurs. You can only have utter respect for all of Tyson's opponents, though - to know that, right from the first bell, he is going to come for you and he is not going to stop or go backwards. To know that you are going to face the most ferocious and relentless onslaught you will ever face, from probably the most dangerous fighter to ever put a pair of gloves on.....and is if that wasn't frightening enough, he was nearly impossible to hit back cleanly ! Tyson was every shade of awesome !!
I remember turning on the Tyson- Buster Douglas fight 30 years ago on the way out of the house one night. I thought I'd be able to quickly see Mike knock out another "palooka" in the 1st or 2nd round. I ended up being stunned for 10 rounds, watched the end, and never made my appointment that night. I came real close to not watching at all, since up to that point, Tyson was "invincible." Never forget it.
Yea, when he left the people that were with him since the beginning he started slacking off the training. Buster looked like he could have beat any heavyweight in history on that night.
Who hasn't got memories growing up in the 80's/90's getting woken up by your dad to come and watch a Tyson fight? Now my dad is passed away but the memories i have of them nights are priceless to me now. Thanks dad may you rest in peace.
@@ronjones3184 Negative...and you should know better if you're truly a die-hard Tyson fan. Maybe you need to go watch some clips and refreshen your memory with how many heads Tyson put to bed with the quickness in the 80s...and these were BIG DUDES. Far bigger dudes than what Ali fought at his size.
Skyjuice70 Tyson would have a very difficult time landing anything on Ali. Ali was inhuman with speed and reflexes, and a scientific boxer. I think Ali would beat Tyson on points. If Tyson landed, it’s lights out.
And Wilder who lost badly tonight said he could beat a prime Tyson? Best joke ever in history. NO heavy weight could move like Tyson while in that speed he had! Amazing... You dont see that anymore
@@miguelmartinez-go6mb You obviously never watched Tyson fight then, & most likely a millennial. Hell, even a 17 year old Tyson would beat Wilder at all stages of his career, regardless of what he added to his arsenal. Mike would bully him, shorten the distance, and his rifle useless....just Fury did. There are very few years in the last 100 years, where Wilder would have been able to claim the title. He could have beat Lion Spinks, or Primo Carnera, or Buster Douglas....not many others come to mind though. There hasn't been a legit heavyweight champ for nearly all of the 21st century....not since Lennox Lewis was done in 2003. Prime Mike Tyson destroys the prime of any other fighter in their prime. He wasn't even human for a stretch there.
I remember the 1st fight he had with Bruno i can't recall what round it was but Frank caught him with a beauty and rocked Tyson in his prime and Tyson admitted that was the hardest punch he took.
When Mike had that spring-loaded, constant lateral head movement, he was unbeatable -- when he got older and heavier, and was just wading in looking to blast with a loaded-up hook, bigger men could use their size. But in his prime, you just could not find your range with that guy, and he put those hook and uppercut combos together with vicious, alien demon-robot precision. How dare they challenged him with their somewhat primitive skills, indeed. They were just as good as dead.
Wilder is Tyson. Their starts are very similar and how a fighter eventually broke through the wave of rage and punching power. By taking punisent, getting to the middle rounds then making them really box.
Tyson is best known for boxing but what about comedy? Believe it or not he is hilarious! I watched the Mike Tyson Mystery Team several times and it never gets old.
@@Ian-bk6oe evryone have a primetime i trainde Muay Thai.20jears 30 years back a good boxer Joe Frazier and Lenox Lewis are in my opinion the best Mike couldt hit but he also dit go. knock out 6/8 times ??
Incredible focus, belief and skill. It's scary watching the video let alone facing him in the ring. Hard to imagine Iron Mike ever being eclipsed. That left hand is devastating.
crap..just lucky he lobbed when not much else around. Holyfield showed him what a boxer can do. he would not have been a sparring partner for Ali or Frasier etc etc
@@sg3596 I don't think you know much about boxing. When did Holyfield fight Tyson? After he'd spent 4 years incarcerated and inactive. Tyson's career post-prison is never a a valid measure of his ability, unless you're just a critic who wants to take pot shots for the sake of it. I wonder how Holyfield, Lennox, Buster Douglas, etc would have performed after 4 years in prison, when at the peak of their powers. Perhaps you can answer that.
some people can hate but trust me, he wasn’t the only feared boxer in the boxing ring. He was the most feared man in the planet. No one wanted to mess with tyson... NO ONE 😂
Holyfield looks like a nice person even when destroying someone but About fear, Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran had some years, 3 or more, with out being able to find someone that wanted to fight him because of how hard his punches were.
@Hunter Lanning . That's true but my lord didn't that man light up the sporting world. You would have thought one of the many boxing gyms would have taken him on as a trainer for the next generation of fighters.
Mike was so aggressive, but he was also ridiculously elusive. Look at how casually he evades Ribalta at 16:55 before delivering the finishing combo. He was nearly impossible to hit, and he did it WHILE he was coming at you at full speed with his fists cocked. Imagine how impossible that would be to counter.
I have always believed that the toughest fighter of all time was Jack Johnson because of how they had to fight back then and how many rounds. It was brutal. I think the most polished and marketable fighter of all time has to be Ali. But the greatest of all time is clearly Mike Tyson. There has never been a better trained, more ferocious fighter in the history of the sport. By far, THEE most dangerous boxer ever and one of the coolest Brothers you will ever meet. They lied on him and made jokes about him, but the truth is little people with little minds could not bring down this GIANT. Much love to you, Brother Tyson. You're family.
greatest of all time ?! who never beat anyone of note except an old larry holmes ? sorry you cant call someone greatest of all time who couldnt beat the best of his generation. Nice guy, kool and all ,but Ali would have played with him.
There will never be another mike tyson. Never another Michael Jordan. Never another Tupac. We never had entertainment so good and we totally took all of it for granted. Now there are people half as good in all of these arenas getting paid twice and thrice as much.

@@rssphllps So who is the best in ur opinion? Dont say its clown Ali plz
Mike had great sportsmanship early he knew he was knocking some body father out he help them up a lot
U right..somebody's father. These guys are old and dont have any skills. Mostly all his fights were like this.
No boxer is better stronger brutal than he himsel the iron mike tyson...
Many were. Dont be fooled. Mike was just the most popular
@@poweredbygarri1 you are a first-class hater
You just mad at the truth. Its okay
poweredbygarri1 the evidence is evident.
That foreman took off 20yrs from boxing return in his 40s and was knocking out opponent in their 20s and 30s. You are right. Imagine foreman in his prime. Tyson wouldn't stand a chance.
Mike had incredible power, but what sets him apart is his insane speed, he moves like a welterweight
Very true definitely
He looks really fast to his fat ass opponents that’s for sure
You said it. Agree 150%. That's what made him scary in his prime. You could see the great on the eyes of most that fought him. He should be "the greatest"... Not Ali
Also - he did meet a lot of "drunk sailors".................
And his ability to dodge pucnhes
i like it how he first puts you to the ground in 10 secs. but then he does help you get back up. truly a legend
7:56 "You can't even walk you worried about fighting" 😂😂😂
After Wilder got beat so brutally it heals my soul rewatching these highlights by mike lol I’m thinking Roy Jones Jr next up on my to watchlist lol these new boxers could never be like the old greats 🙅🏽♂️
To think wilder said he punches harder than Tyson and that he'll defeat him too 🤦♂️ smh
thank you for mike tyson, the last genuine gladiator...
IRON MIKE in his prime can take anyone, anytime, past present and future.... THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE IRON MIKE TYSON!!! We love you Mike... always will brother 😎
Ali in his PRIME would knock him out in the 8th round
Holyfield?
@@s.sarjonmahmud6231 No doubt Ali would land several jabs. But after a few blows from Tyson, Ali would struggle. In the end, I believe Tyson would come out on top. Look at what Tyson did to Larry Holmes! Yes Larry was 38 at the time of their fight, but he was still a top-notch challenger! Personally, I consider Holmes, on a good day, to be every bit as good as Ali. His boxing stats prove this!
When Mike said, "Even though a lot of you don't like to hear it, it's facts.. I'm the best! Sometimes I don't believe it myself, but its the truth!" I felt that in the pit of my soul.
Это так!! Много достойных боксеров, сильных, чемпионов! Но такого как Тайсон не было и может не будет!! Величайший спец своего дела. Мастер от Бога!! Такие как он рождаются раз в сотни лет! И остаются в истории! Здоровья и всего самого доброго самому молодому абсолютному чемпиону всех версий Бокса!!
плюсую.человек-легенда!
En effet mike tyson a terrassé les plus forts et meilleurs boxeurs de ce monde ,il restera le meilleurs pour toujours et personne ne peut le rivalisé
Солидарен с тобой,феномен и легенда бокса.
I was a poor kid with a free HBO weekend, or Showtime...
Tyson was fighting. The dudes aura was scary. I was frightened in my living room. The man was legitimately terrifying in every way, and the world felt it. You had to be there...
2020 and I still watchin all his vids.
The way he is now.. is truly amazing. He took what he did, and grew. It takes a MAN to grow. To CHANGE. He did it all, and no matter what he did in the past, I'm proud of the MAN.
Sonny Liston turned cops upside-down and threw'em in garbage cans..for real.
Tyson foi um excelente atleta.
Rapidez, agilidade e força.
Não houve nenhum melhor depois dele.
My Dad loved boxing. He was a quiet unassuming and kind man who worked hard from 14 and died too young. Every time I watch the great Mike Tyson fight, I always wish my Dad had lived to see him
The 1986-89 Mike Tyson was the greatest Heavyweight Champion whoever lived. He was the most ferocious brutal fighter I've ever seen. His career plummeted after Kevin Rooney was no longer his trainer.
Speed beat power the problem was Tyson has crazy speed and crazy power very hard to see, as you say for me in his prime was the best of the best...imposible to beat Tyson in that time.
Age beat him, and prison... nothing to do with his trainer. He was never in the same shape when he came back. Looked good, pretty good power, but he was not as on target and as lightning fast and brutal as he was in his prime. He was just an old dog by that time trying to maintain his glory days
@@jasonhensley2086 He left Kevin Rooney before he went to prison, and he went with Don King that was his down fall. He stopped training like he had always trained. And it cost him, it tarnished his legacy.
@@lskiller1903 I don't give a shit about Rooney, he was irrelevant to my comment.
I agree with you Jason but the lack of Kevin Rooney as his trainer did have something to do with it. He didn't have Kevin Rooney as his trainer when he fought Buster Douglas. That day Buster Douglas fought Mike Tyson Buster Douglas could've gone toe to toe with anybody. He fought a brilliant fight.
In retrospect we can all really see and witness how truly great of a boxer Tyson was. People used to say back in the day that he was just a puncher and he fought a bunch of bums. He fought guys that were way bigger and heavier than him. He was a small heavyweight, his speed power and boxing style could not be challenged. He is in my mind the best ever!!
I'd say Ali is the best ever but Tyson's up there
In retrospect he never had a big career defining victory. He cleared out an aging middle of the road division of the late 80's and is a top 10 to 15 all time heavy weight. He isn't the best and he isn't top 5. Mike needed a big win against another great fighter close to their prime. His career defining victories are over Spinks and an older Larry Holmes. Not enough. That's really the retrospective on Mike. He sure was exciting though.
@@DoggieNYC Mike in his prime could of beat any boxer I can think of. I mean for example Wilder would get knocked out in first round.
@@thechad3239 How would you know ? Based on what ? Because he beat Tony Tucker and Trevor Berbick ? We really have nothing to go on except that he wasnt unbeatable, he dominated a weak division and never beat another great fighter. Wilders pretty inconsequential to the argument.
@@thechad3239 But I do agree an 85 to 88 Tyson was capable of beating any HW ever, I just have my doubts on whether he would have or not. Does he beat Ali, Joe Frazier, Foreman ? These are all great great fighters. Tyson never got in the ring against fighters of that ilk and when he did, he lost. It's all speculation so we can only go on what he did accomplish and the defining victory of his prime years was vs Michael Spinks.
Iron Mike Tyson.. what can critics and analysts say... But utter dominance. His bob and weave technique and side to side foot movement to position himself for the devastating combos nad power. Ive watched every fight of his i could ever find. And never in boxing history even when fights would last 50 to 75 rounds. Back in Jack Johnson days of bare knuckle boxing. Tyson is like a black hole in the 80's and 90's a once in a lifetime fighter. Never will we ever see another boxer. The only close one is Tommy "The Machine Gun" Morrison. Who had the gift like tyson but HIV stopped his career before he was just like Tyson.
GOAT. And true ledgend of the squared circle and icon to all ture pugilists, past history,present and future Boxes
Tyson was the most dangerous boxer of all time.
¿The most? Remember, Tommy Morrison.
@@chocolatesexy5486 are u fckng serious?
Knockouted just don't know until
after Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and 2 or 3 more
Mike was the best boxer I’ve seen he was a fast fucker not only fast but the punches where deadly
I could watch Tyson all day. Poetry in motion - blistering hand speed, faultless footwork and head movement. Dodging shots so easily that seasoned pros were made to look like clumsy amateurs.
You can only have utter respect for all of Tyson's opponents, though - to know that, right from the first bell, he is going to come for you and he is not going to stop or go backwards. To know that you are going to face the most ferocious and relentless onslaught you will ever face, from probably the most dangerous fighter to ever put a pair of gloves on.....and is if that wasn't frightening enough, he was nearly impossible to hit back cleanly !
Tyson was every shade of awesome !!
Ali stated he was scared of Tyson. He wasn't joking around btw!
I love Mike Tyson,we never gets bored of his old video fights,still watch it over over over again more than other boxers,don't we?YES!!!👍🥊
"They all have a plan until they get punched in the mouth."
Mike Tyson
In the face
protected by the refferie, against Lennox Lewis ,dit you understand me right.i mean that Mike got down, from the Netherlands
Ari Ari a Prime Mike would’ve beaten Lennox & deep down you already know that
@@hmackprotection1 Mike wone 1time from Lennox
@@hmackprotection1 Lennox knows that and has admitted as much. he didn't want any parts of a young mike tyson.
Donnie Long: “I’m okay.” lol. Iron Mike was a thing of beauty. “Money” Mayweather got the cash - Iron Mike is The Legend. There Will Never Be Another.
That is what we call perfection. I have watched this man since I was ten, I am 46 now and I love the guy.
I remember turning on the Tyson- Buster Douglas fight 30 years ago on the way out of the house one night. I thought I'd be able to quickly see Mike knock out another "palooka" in the 1st or 2nd round. I ended up being stunned for 10 rounds, watched the end, and never made my appointment that night. I came real close to not watching at all, since up to that point, Tyson was "invincible." Never forget it.
Yea, when he left the people that were with him since the beginning he started slacking off the training. Buster looked like he could have beat any heavyweight in history on that night.
ERA DE OURO DO BOXE INTERNACIONAL! SAUDADES DAS GRANDES ATUAÇÕES DE MIKE TYSON! GRANDE DEMOLIDOR!
Who hasn't got memories growing up in the 80's/90's getting woken up by your dad to come and watch a Tyson fight? Now my dad is passed away but the memories i have of them nights are priceless to me now. Thanks dad may you rest in peace.
Mike in his prime could beat any fighter, past or present.
Please dont talk dumb. That's saying Michael Jordan can beat any NBA player on a 1 on 1. Which we all know is a lie
poweredbygarri1 stupid!
This is coming from a die hard tyson fan but ali would've destroyed him
@@ronjones3184 Negative...and you should know better if you're truly a die-hard Tyson fan. Maybe you need to go watch some clips and refreshen your memory with how many heads Tyson put to bed with the quickness in the 80s...and these were BIG DUDES. Far bigger dudes than what Ali fought at his size.
Skyjuice70 Tyson would have a very difficult time landing anything on Ali. Ali was inhuman with speed and reflexes, and a scientific boxer. I think Ali would beat Tyson on points. If Tyson landed, it’s lights out.
And Wilder who lost badly tonight said he could beat a prime Tyson? Best joke ever in history. NO heavy weight could move like Tyson while in that speed he had! Amazing... You dont see that anymore
I agree I have yet to see anything like Tyson in his prime
If wilder had a jab and footwork he would beat prime tyson
@@miguelmartinez-go6mb You obviously never watched Tyson fight then, & most likely a millennial. Hell, even a 17 year old Tyson would beat Wilder at all stages of his career, regardless of what he added to his arsenal. Mike would bully him, shorten the distance, and his rifle useless....just Fury did. There are very few years in the last 100 years, where Wilder would have been able to claim the title. He could have beat Lion Spinks, or Primo Carnera, or Buster Douglas....not many others come to mind though. There hasn't been a legit heavyweight champ for nearly all of the 21st century....not since Lennox Lewis was done in 2003. Prime Mike Tyson destroys the prime of any other fighter in their prime. He wasn't even human for a stretch there.
Fury wouldn’t have beat Tyson either to fast for him .i bet mike would love to have a go at him even now ..
He is stupid I high level
There will never be another person that will train like Mike Tyson did , if they do they will also become famous
I remember the 1st fight he had with Bruno i can't recall what round it was but Frank caught him with a beauty and rocked Tyson in his prime and Tyson admitted that was the hardest punch he took.
Ya, I remember that. Tyson admitted it was the first time he'd been rocked.
Great highlight featuring Tyson's power and ferocity
I wish he is a weak ferret of a man
Tyson, as time passes is like a fine wine, he’s super cool.
The look on his face,as he goes forward to touch gloves, is not of apprehension, uncertainty or fear - just a hint of sadness for his opponent.
He looks extremely centered, like he has no thoughts.
@@quito85869 He said he has only the singular intent to cause grievous bodily harm. ( Like a Grizzly 🐻)
Mike Tyson his punch as a solid big hammer
When Mike had that spring-loaded, constant lateral head movement, he was unbeatable -- when he got older and heavier, and was just wading in looking to blast with a loaded-up hook, bigger men could use their size. But in his prime, you just could not find your range with that guy, and he put those hook and uppercut combos together with vicious, alien demon-robot precision.
How dare they challenged him with their somewhat primitive skills, indeed. They were just as good as dead.
Christopher Carr very well said
Nailed it.
TRUMP PLAZA ☺
Tyson is back the Mike Tyson era has begun again
hes so fast he was even moving his head to collide with theirs as they would fall after he had hit them, so smart.
I caught that too... simply amazing!
The most explosive heavyweight of all time. Beautiful to watch 100 kg move so fast.
This is quickly becoming my favorite channel on all of yt. It's perfect.
We will probably NEVER see another Mike Tyson in this century.
That's true
Wilder is Tyson. Their starts are very similar and how a fighter eventually broke through the wave of rage and punching power. By taking punisent, getting to the middle rounds then making them really box.
And WILDER says he could beat a prime MIKE TYSON
LOL.
Yeah, Tyson could have carried his corner out on his shoulders and still beat up the 2-3 heavyweight contenders that would be lined up in the ring.
Cant even beat a Bum TYSON fury, much less the true holder of the name
We know thats not true..Tyson would destroy him first round knock out.
EPH EPH lol wilder cant even beat his pre fight costumes 😂😂
Mostly everyone lost to Mike Tyson before the fight even started.
Just woke up from a nap and read “Mike Tyson-the most beautiful boxer in the world”
😂
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mike Tyson is hilarious how he knock em out then goin help em up lmboooo!!! Good sportsmanship
The thing that Hurt Tyson the Most was when Cus D'Amato Died.....RIP...
Then getting mixed up with that Rat King and a lunatic mother in law
Amen to that
No... his downfall was Robin Giv
And that low-life Don King finished Tyson off.
THAT WAS MAJOR IMPACT....HE LOST HIS PLUM IN LIFE
Tyson is best known for boxing but what about comedy? Believe it or not he is hilarious! I watched the Mike Tyson Mystery Team several times and it never gets old.
I love watching Tyson’s early fights the poor bastards didn’t have a clue what they were up against
Lennox Lewis
Anderson had the fear trust and believe. His face said “awww hell no” at the glove touch.

Hats of to all the boxers who had the balls to get in ring with Tyson
Most of those fighters were defeated even before the bell even rang.
Yes
Truth
once yu mentally destroy the person the fight is over he had everybody shook who in their right mind wld fight him tf lol
Incredible focus, belief and skill. It's scary watching the video let alone facing him in the ring. Hard to imagine Iron Mike ever being eclipsed. That left hand is devastating.
Love that he picks the dude back up after he knocks him out. Go Mike!
One of the all time great heavy weight fighters...thank you for sharing!!
Very great fighters but Davis is a very good boxer and the twins God bless them in 2020!!!
crap..just lucky he lobbed when not much else around. Holyfield showed him what a boxer can do. he would not have been a sparring partner for Ali or Frasier etc etc
@@sg3596 He's shown knocking out Frazier in this clip. Stop being a hater.
@@sg3596 I don't think you know much about boxing. When did Holyfield fight Tyson? After he'd spent 4 years incarcerated and inactive. Tyson's career post-prison is never a a valid measure of his ability, unless you're just a critic who wants to take pot shots for the sake of it. I wonder how Holyfield, Lennox, Buster Douglas, etc would have performed after 4 years in prison, when at the peak of their powers. Perhaps you can answer that.
@@user-gc5dx8fj5u probably forgotten more than you will know but I guess we all have to deal with the morons on here.
he seems to be quite an ethical fighter, he doesn't keep punching after knock down, and even helped one stand up
He would get arrested if he hit them while they're down. It's against the rules of boxing. This is not mma
Unless he's hungry and wants your ear
I have watched boxing since the 60s and believe Tyson is the best heavyweight ever.
some people can hate but trust me, he wasn’t the only feared boxer in the boxing ring. He was the most feared man in the planet. No one wanted to mess with tyson... NO ONE 😂
Holyfield was his daddy!
Holyfield looks like a nice person even when destroying someone but About fear, Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran had some years, 3 or more, with out being able to find someone that wanted to fight him because of how hard his punches were.
@@CarloMario True..!!, but he's not a Heavy Weight.
@@Icyhotboo we all saw how holyfield reacted once he got his ear bit he didn't want that smoke 😭😭
@@hmoney14 Actually Holyfield was being held by his trainers because he was furious and wanted to destroy Tyson. PS. Tyson never wanted a rematch.

King of the Ring😊
This guy was born to box. Goat for sure.
The most exciting boxer of all time has to be Iron Mike.
He was a really wonderful head puncher in his prime.
when he floored zach galifanakis i cheered so hard.
All the mental ones are the most exciting in any kind of entertainment
Guy should have been on a mental ward at a young age
..went into the ring instead,similar to a mental hospital
what a great video, i keep rewatching this, such great work you put here
Where did it all go wrong Mike? As a fan you broke my heart, but to me you will always be the greatest boxer that ever stepped into a ring.
@Hunter Lanning . That's true but my lord didn't that man light up the sporting world. You would have thought one of the many boxing gyms would have taken him on as a trainer for the next generation of fighters.
I'm no expert but probably went wrong around the time he raped someone
Tyson is one of the best boxer in the world. In the ring, he makes the difference.👍
Always respected the guys who where courageous enough to go on the ring, fighting that punch machine. Freaky.
Mike was so aggressive, but he was also ridiculously elusive. Look at how casually he evades Ribalta at 16:55 before delivering the finishing combo. He was nearly impossible to hit, and he did it WHILE he was coming at you at full speed with his fists cocked. Imagine how impossible that would be to counter.
I'd rather fight Fury than Mike tbh. Mike was just scary. Can't imagine being in there with him.
Lewis didn't find it hard to hit him
I have always believed that the toughest fighter of all time was Jack Johnson because of how they had to fight back then and how many rounds. It was brutal.
I think the most polished and marketable fighter of all time has to be Ali.
But the greatest of all time is clearly Mike Tyson. There has never been a better trained, more ferocious fighter in the history of the sport. By far, THEE most dangerous boxer ever and one of the coolest Brothers you will ever meet. They lied on him and made jokes about him, but the truth is little people with little minds could not bring down this GIANT.
Much love to you, Brother Tyson. You're family.
agree !!
85 to 1990 Mike Tyson TBE.
greatest of all time ?! who never beat anyone of note except an old larry holmes ? sorry you cant call someone greatest of all time who couldnt beat the best of his generation. Nice guy, kool and all ,but Ali would have played with him.
