Being Intelligent and Educated are Two Different Things. Mike Was Always a Intelligent High Functioning Person. If Mike Had Different Circumstances And Guidance And Education He Could Have Done Anything at High Level. Not Just Boxing
Mmmm maybe he was smarter than a 25 years old you but definitely not smarter than I was at 25. Would you like to have my Instagram so you can adore me?
Words cannot describe how much I love and admire Mr Tyson. Extremly smart, compassionate, yet misunderstood. I hope one day I get a chance to meet the champ
I feel the exact same. He is such an amazin human being. I'm sure this sounds crazy to people especially whoever read this ghat doesnt know me but the similarities and how much i can relate to him, not at all physically or what hes accomplished, but what he went through, his personality, the love he had for the people around him. All the good he did for people and even people he looked up to that ended up taking advantage of him.. from him losing the closest people to him one after another, all these things i can relate to. Im so happy he has his life together and alot of people are just now seeing what a genuine, down to earth, loving person he is
Totally. What would you change? I don't know? What happened that night? I don't know? What if X? I don't know. A) He doesn't leave the impression of someone who has any idea where he went wrong. B) Even if he knew, does everyone who screws up in life big time and understands what went wrong make a good life coach to you?
So many words, so little meaning. :D Here's some more wisdom for you: True honesty is courage. True courage is desirable. Life is not all about money. We are all mortal. Remember that! You are welcome.
Tyson wasnt really a honest dude, lets not forget post prison time...when he kept reapeating his a new man, clean, sportsman, religion..yet turned out at that time he was high af on cocaine and many other drugs.
I really liked Tyson pep talk. He was very inspiring when he said to never give up because you’ll more than likely end up with more then you started with. So true Mike
Now that's what I call rocket science. Here's more wisdom for you that you will be amazed by. If you waste less money you will have more left if everything else stays the same. You are welcome.
I dunno if you can say that at that point in his life, Tyson was all over the place. Now I'd say he is showing the person he really is, fighting for charities etc. I think boxing made him into someone he didn't like, as soon as he quit you could see how much more at ease with life he was.
@@ritchski1 It wasn't boxing so much as the death of Cus D'Amato and how Don King and Co corrupted Mike. He went from being a well spoken disciplined fighter who kept out of trouble, to being a monstrous man capable of terrible things to man and woman alike. Mike doesn't like the guy he was back then, but that person wasn't just him, it was everyone around him bringing out the worst through drugs and egoism. His boxing started to get worse at that time also, as a result of everything else in his life.
I swear mike got the most scariest eyes..but is so humble on the inside..some one u can chill with on a late..nuff respect to the baddest man on the planet..
Mike Tyson is truly a genuine person. I believe people used him and treated him poorly But so glad he didn’t allow it to change him toward evil. He is even better now than then. A kindhearted man. I wish he found a wife who shared his interest in foster parenting - that’s awesome
The best thing about Mike Tyson is his vulnerability. He's always been so open and truthful about his life, his strengths and his weaknesses. To be a man that no one could call un-macho, but who's willing to admit what most "macho" men won't about himself, makes him courageous on a whole other level. I know that he's maybe the greatest boxer to date, but it's his inner strength that fascinates me!
I love how self aware this man is. Knows his weaknesses and is not intimidated by them. He sees things for exactly what they are. I’ve never met someone who i vibe with on this level. Would love to just sit and smoke with the man.
@@MrPuml Tyson was sheer power, aggression, and speed. He was a brawler not a boxer. How many of his opponents got past the 1st round. All this dancing around Ali did would not have worked with Tyson. He would march straight at you and start exchanging punches. He took what you had to offer. But you could not stand up to his savagery. BOXING IS NOT A SPORT. 😥
People keeps saying mike failed off after his mentor died, mike is serving his purpose, he did not fail off. He grew from it and it made him who he is today. Mike is much bigger than boxing.
@@michaela8121 hahahahahahahahahahahahahagahahahahahahagagagagagajehejemejudbehdyysysgsgsbsbsnskkgagahahaggagagaagahahahahahahahahahhaahahahaahahahahahahahahahah wow, that was extraordinarily excellent. Thank you for that old joke. It was like choking on a fuck you but I laughed it out
"Picture me not wanting to fight some human being" I've stated this many many times on many many of Tyson interviews. Mike Tyson just confirmed that he is truly a God among men.
Mike has a very sweet sensitive side. He's like a pitbull in a way they look scary and can be dangerous but if you treat them nice they won't hurt you and can be trained they are not stupid.
Imagine having confrontation with Mike on the phone, you'd think this guy is tiny little kid... then you meet the guy in person, its a freakin short stocky 220 pound muscular guy. with a neck much bigger than his head and a gapping teeth...
I read his autobiography, a guy got rear ended by a car which caused him to rear end the car mike's wife was driving and where mike was passenger. The guy came out and started yelling at mike's wife then went and yelled at the guy who rear ended him, mike just got out of the car and beat them both up, kicking one of them in balls and punching the other. He ended up getting charges pressed against him, settled out of court with the guys he beat up, payed them a decent amount, but ended up still getting sentenced to like 2 years or something, Mike did about 4 months in prison before JFK jr, who Mike was personal friends with, bailed him out by calling his cousin who was governor at the time. True story.
Great interview. Such a relaxed vibe which really put Tyson at ease to be loose and charming. I consider prime MT to be the greatest boxer ever. A true student of the game who had the speed, power and movement to beat anyone in the ring.
Mike stopped moving his head and stopped throwing and working behind a good hard jab. Every thing tyson did successfully in the ring was to do with his high tempo, head movement and his jab
yea,when he started getting hit,,,it's like he couldn't focus...his corner would alway scream "put ur hands up"!!! and he would put his gloves up and it would save him a few times...a lot of fighters get to be in their primes around 30-40 now...Mike did so much training early on in his early teens and late teens..by the time he was 27 you could tell he was getting mentally burnt out and then using it as excuses...
People claim most folks don’t give him enough credit for his intelligence but I don’t think that’s true at all. Anyone who has ever listened to the guy for more than a couple of minutes always remarks how deep he’s always been. Most people who know ANYTHING about him knows how truly articulate and thoughtful he really IS. He’s still one of the most respected men in boxing and in life in general. And still VERY relevant. Amazing human being.
The best and most powerful and ferocious boxer I have ever seen. Just his presence invokes fear. And with all his has done and been thru in his life he becomes better as a person everyday. Truly a great man I love and admire the Champ. IRON MIKE👍
Mike has had issues. That saying deep down hes a good person. He is much smarter than most people. I HONESTLY feel that no matter what Mike were to do in life he would do well.
Mmm, considering that all he does now is live off his name that would have never had any meaning to anyone if it was't for Cuz Damato that's a bold statement.
@Framework333 Well you can believe that as much as you want. From what I;ve seen, Mike is only making any money (and probably only alive) bc D'amato took care of him and showed him how to box. Take away that and Mike would have been nothing more than an average dude with a few more muscles.. Heck, he even threw it all away shortly after D'amato and Jacob etc died. Sad for him but really, Mike was lucky...
Mike Tyson has always been plugged into the Universe/Love. These old interviews show just how enlightened Mike was then, and more so now. Mike is a soul of love and loyalty, but can be ferocious when need be. The entire planet with be better if people loved the way Mike does. This may sound crazy if you haven't followed Mike for the last 30 years, if you have, this will make sense. Such a good human and best Champ ever! 👊❤🔥
You do know that Mike himself said that he wrote about what sells and that it's in no way a reflection of him as a person? So whatever you read is just Tyson fiction. For that I'm sure it's great.
Arsenio's style is natural, respectful, and humanistic. It's not forced on any specific agenda or to increase ratings (which is probably why it didn't get as big as Leno, Letterman, Oprah or Ellen).
@@scottvidmar913 You heard about that too right? Man that’s crazy and he lost it while being high and drunk partying with a a lot women so one of those women took that shit lol
Tyson is so smart and still he had shitty people around him most of his carrer. Arsenio saying that tyson' son looks like him at 6:30, it wasn't really his son. They fooled him. And he didn't learn anything from the buster douglas loss, still didn't train well for holyfield and lewis... Imagine if he hadn't fired trainer kevin rooney in 88... He would have been 50+0 and extremely rich til this day.
He was actually done by 87 when he won all the world titles after becoming the champ in 86, he wanted to retire in 87-88 which was really weird, his main goal was to become the youngest heavyweight champ, it's annoying that he just didn't care anymore, he could have been the goat... I guess when cus d'mato passed away he basically fought for nothing.
Elisa Griffith, do some research, desire washinghton accused many men of raping her and she did that to tyson because she was jealous, some days tyson would have 15 girls in a day, he didn't really care for her and she accused him of rape, she was a bad woman. Tyson even cheated on his wife robbin givens back then, there were many temptations. Robin givens exploited the situation and took his money and used him.
