7 Times When MIKE TYSON showed Next LEVEL Speed and Power! 

Watching a Tyson fight back then was bigger than the Super Bowl to me. Everyone watched Tyson fight, even people that didn't even watch boxing watched. With Tyson fighting you didn't have to even think about was it going to be worth paying for the fight. Tyson always put on a masterpiece.

Mike literally had full body weight going into every punch, quick, and endless energy! Literally an amazing athlete!

Ppl need to realize how dangerous Iron Mike Tyson really was! And, had it not been for the distractions outside the ring, the death of his manager, and lack of training, really, no training to the fighters he lost to, He'd be the goat over Ali and possibly retired undefeated. Dude was just that good...💪

THE most complete boxer of his generation. IRON MIKE had it all, a true mastery of the art of boxing, which I doubt we will ever see again in the heavyweight division.

Commentator: “which hand are you dominant with?” Mike Tyson: “yeth”

People always talk about just his power... his footwork and head movement was second to none. That right to the body right uppercut combo is legendary

When I was young and watched these fights, it seemed as if Tyson just destroyed people…which he did. But now that I am older I see how incredibly tough and courageous all his opponents were. They overcame a lot of fear to be in that ring with him.

Took Tyson less than 2 hours of total ring time to defeat everyone, win all three belts and become the undisputed world boxing champion! This young man achieved this before he was old enough to buy alcohol! Boxing fans, like myself who experienced this in real time know Tyson is by far the greatest boxer EVER! They used to say if you had tickets to a Tyson fight don't waste money paying for parking just leave your car running at venue entrance because you'll be back in 5 mins! 😃😄😃

We gotta respect how brave his opponents were to keep accepting fights with him.

Back then: Best fighter on planet earth. Today: Most humble person on planet earth. Mad respect for you Mike.

The best quote of all time….”Everyone has a plan until they get hit”

That head movement was crazy with perfect timing and precision also those body shots and upper cut was a deadly combination, Iron Mike was a BEAST

I loved that Tyson never showed off before or after his wins,remained cool,calm and collected👊🏼

That first fight was really one of Tyson’ most devastating wins. To overcome that height advantage and go toe to toe and finish him was amazing

A guy at nineteen is a kid. Tyson at nineteen was a beast and a wrecking machine fighting with 6'4" men and destroying them to pieces. The youngest ever heavyweight world champion at 20, this record will never be beaten.

In boxing history no one has this aggressive charging assault with so much confidence as Tyson

In his prime, the perfect combination of speed, skill, power and aggression!

If he swung at you and missed you'd still catch pneumonia from the draft...

His passion and commitment for the sport as a young teen was 24/7! It will probably never happen again.

Mike Tyson in an interview "I can beat the vicious guys and outsmart the slicksters". The smart animal is the most dangerous animal.

After looking back on all of these, I'm impressed with Ribalta more than any other Tyson's opponents he beat early on. How did that guy take those shots for 10 rounds? Unreal.

He's a freaking beast. I remember that some times when I'll take a seat at a bar, ask for a beer and by the time I got my beer. The fight was over. Freaking awesome fighter. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

McNeely had some balls because at that time everyone was scared to get in the ring with Iron Mike

That's why Mike tyson was so good at winning, because he wasn't just boxing his opponents...he was trying to kill them too.

I must have watched Tysons knock out reels about 50 times, it never gets old they still look brutal as ever

I love Tyson's footwork, so fast and precise, always keeping him in a position to put his body into his punches and to avoid big shots. For a fighter so busy with his punches, he was hard to hit cleanly.

In his Prime A Force of Nature Unbeatable..Mike is a Warrior and a Legend

Amazing how much stamina Tyson had no matter what round it was

There was never anyone like Mike and there will never again be anyone like Mike

That man is a beast... That force in those upper punches is beyond human strength..

Tyson is known by many for having the first round and one punch knockouts, but how about these guys that take MANY of his knockout punches, and sledgehammer body shots, yet STILL go rounds with him? That shit is impressive.

Total respect to any fighter brave enough to get into a ring with him - in his prime, he was frightening ! Astonishing hand speed, tremendous head movement and footwork all made it very difficult to hit him back, and, at the same time, generated devastating power. Before the fight started, his death stare was truly chilling. From the first bell, he's straight up and at 'em, in their face - relentless, merciless, utterly savage, until the job's done. The beatings suffered by Thomas, Biggs and Ruddock were especially brutal, even by Tyson's standards. He wasn't a boxer - he was a black hearted assassin !

One of the many things I respect about Mike is he has no fear he's constantly in his opponents face throwing bombs

This has to be the peak of all peaks of a destructive man. Still amazing to re-watch his past fights. They never get old

I'm a huge sport fan borned in early 80s. I'm telling you the kids nowadays don’t know what they missed in all these major sports, back then we got Mike Tyson, Micheal Jordan, Diego Maradona, Joe Montana and Wayne Gretzky, and the list goes on. What an era bruh.

Mike Tyson is one of the all time greats. Truly on some other level. The guy was absolutely incredible.

Mike had Speed , Power, Agility , Calm , Focus, and the Energy to deliver equal blows to opponents throughtout the match .. NEVER AGAIN WILL ANYONE HAVE ALL IN ONE

Respect to all the men that stayed in, knowing there were going to go down and continued to fight with all they had against Tyson. Take peace in knowing the loss you took from Tyson was from one of the top 5 greatest of all time. A legend and champion among champions.

You have to admire Tyson's speed and power. What is truly amazing is his footwork and his movement. His placement of his punches echoed from where he was positioned, the power and speed just amplified it.

Mike shows the importance of having core strength, it generates devastating power with the follow through.

it was an honor to see this man in his prime. To me, he is the best ever. He was the devil in a sport of demons. That face he made as he swung for power showed his killing intent.

I remember watching every single Tyson fight and remembering that it was a must to start watching well before the match started because it often only lasted a minute or two. Nobody was in his League in the 80’s! He could end careers with that uppercut of his!

Devastating Fighter...ribcrushing....brainwrecking....retainer throwing...combo master...Mike was a Beast....he will always be my favorite!!!

That first dude was eating Mikes bombshells for breakfast - as impressive in itself as Mikes powerful punches!

It's deep when reality sets in and fighters run into the fact of how truly powerful Tyson was.

I was born in 1961. I remember the 'controversy' of Cassius Clay becoming Muhammad Ali. My dad, a boxing fan, born in 1921, who knew the guys from the Great Era, Joe Louis, Max Schmeling, Marcel Cerdan, Rocky Marciano, let me stay up to watch the fights between Frazier, Forman, Norton, Clay/Ali. The Rumble In The Jungle. The Thrilla In Manila. I did a bit of boxing myself. Some French boxing (Savate) too. But I was too lazy to excersise properly. Relying on my natural speed and very hard punch. I destroyed a boxing machine once at a local fairground. But that ain't enough to make it as a pro, or even as an amateur. Watching Mike Tyson in the eighties, I didn't really like him. Too much of an animal. No real boxer, I thought. Just a lion jumping at its prey. Kept clawing until the prey was conquered. Later, rewatching some of his bouts, I came to realise that Tyson was close to a genius. Maybe without realising it himself. The talent, the intelligence, the movement, the speed, the punch, the determination, the rage. He had the best parts of all the great boxers who came before him. And at the time, because of an unsimpathetic press, he wasn't seen for what he was. Misjudged, mis-interpreted, misunderstood, miscast and even outcast. Today, I see him for what he is and has always been. A Great Man and after Ali, the best boxer to ever walk this planet. And I like him. For what he was and for what he is today. Respect.

To this day boxing hasn't seen excitement like Mike🥊

Respect to Ribalta for having stood back up and come back to the fight after taking the beating and brutal punches he took. Many would have faked KO to stop earlier. My God I would not want to be his neurons… but he clearly is very courageous.

There will never be another Tyson.

you had to have some heart to step into the ring with Tyson, he was every kids hero in the 80's

People overlook the fact that we never got a "prime" version of Tyson. He was a kid, still learning a lot about the game, and very much a student of the sport when he was thrust into the title picture at 19-20 years old. Then as champion, was manipulated by a villainous and greedy woman, and another even more despicable man in Don King, who led to him firing his corner and believing himself invincible. At age 23, he goes to prison for 4.5 years, (somehow) ends up back with Don King, and has tomato cans lined up in front of him before facing Evander Holyfield. Tyson had no interest in taking fighting seriously after the age of 21, and would mostly headhunt in the fights instead of displaying his tactical combinations and body shots. Ali gave away prime years for being a coward about the draft, and was forgiven with an asterisk when he lost to Joe Frazier and Ken Norton (all three times, but was gifted two illegitimate wins). Tyson had far more obstacles in his situation, yet was laughed at for losing to Holyfield and declared a never-was. So when Tyson should have been giving us his "prime" from 23-30 or so, he was instead wasting his time, his talents, his money, and his freedom with bad people and prison. It was a case of perhaps the most wasted talent in sports history. And yet he STILL was as impressive as he was, and perhaps the most memorable heavyweight champ of all-time because of the way he fought. SIDE NOTE: He also wasn't a slugger who got tired after 4 rounds as some have claimed, as evidenced by the fact that fights with Ribalta, Ruddock, Green, and others, he was still as fast and powerful in round 10 as he was in round 1. The guy had the work ethic and fitness in his early days to go the whole way. It was always about his motivation, not his fitness.

The ultimate killing machine. Man nobody even close to him when he was in his prime.

I know Tyson was a different animal, but credit to that man 8:38 for not giving up. pure warrior DNA 👏🏾

Tyson was, in a word, terrifying. His power, strength and destructive force were truly frightening. I can't imagine the fear his opponents must have felt. Sad that he got involved with Don King.

Respect to Ribalta. He took a ton. I’m sure MT embraced him afterwards. Mike was a good heart about fighters.

fight commentator - "The first punch sent his mouth piece flying and the second punch sent something else flying out of his mouth, I hate to even think what that was."

Recently, I read a post from someone who said that Mike was one of the few fighters Ali said he would not want to mix it up with. So that's a hell of compliment to Tyson!!!

Loved it when Tyson said "Biggs has been saying alot , it's gunna be a slow night for him , Friday " and it sure was 👌👑

Tyson was one of the most exciting fighters in the ring, especially the 2 fights with Ruddock.

I believe that IF Cus hadn’t have passed away when he did, and Mike hadn’t have parted company with Kevin Rooney, he would’ve undoubtably been an immense force in the Heavyweight division, and possibly becoming THE Greatest of all time. The only man to beat Mike Tyson, was Tyson himself. You cannot go to prison for 6years, come out, and still be as good as you were, NO ONE can do that! However, Mike has gone on to become a better human being nowadays, than he was back then. He will always be a favourite of mine, no matter what. 🥊

I don't think there will ever be another man on earth that can do what Tyson did and the way he did it

IRON MIKE TYSON The Baddest man to EVER step into The boxing ring.

What most people don't give Tyson credit for is his impeccable defensive skills moving forward. I've never seen anyone evade an attack while stepping into them quite like Mike. He had incredible ring intelligence and masterful timing In his attack though, his power really came from his legs, squatting down before generating tremendous force driving from his feet, legs, hips and shoulders. His fists were just the messenger. He often threw the least amount of punches but landed so many of the ones he did throw making him one of the most accurate hitters ever By the way, regardless what the judges said Tyson won that Roy Jones jr fight 😑

That left hook on Berbick, killed his equilibrium.

I could watch Tyson fights for hours. He’s brilliant!

Imagine being the current heavyweight champion of the world & in your next fight you are considered the underdog against and up-and-coming newcomer... That's how good Mike Tyson was! #legend

As hard as he hits, it overshadowed his defense, which really was impregnable

For me, the real tragedy about Mike is how society and the media painted the picture of him being vicious or a monster. True, he was an aggressive athlete but he was so humble in the beginning. Always respectful of his opponents after the fight. After Cus died he didn't have the direction or discipline to keep him straight and life whipped his azz. There was nobody to tell him no. Add to that going to jail for a crime you didn't commit and that sweet humble young man became cold and calloused. I am a fan 4life; he is an amazing athlete. Watching him in the ring was awe inspiring even though you knew it was only gonna last a couple rounds, if that. The sport of boxing owes him a tribute.

Mike you are a remarkable man and a great human much respect to you bro!!!

There is no soft punches in Tyson's Booklist👍

His voice clearly betrayed the volcanic power embedded in Mike Tyson. He was gifted and ferocious!

These punches are crazy. Every single punch sprays sweat from opponents head. That's some heavy impacts.

Mike is a legend, no matter what. He absorbed what his coach taught him. Cus D'Amato, his legacy remains till today through Mike Tyson. One sentence: Mike, both loved him and feared him. What a wonderful relationship! They were inseparable.

Just imagine if Cus would have been around for 5 or 6 more years? As it is Mike is an awe inspiring example of what a human being is capable of. Even more amazing is the wonderful person Mike has become since those early days, God bless him and his family.

Even though these other contenders lost, they had the cajones to go one on one in the ring with the force of nature that was mike Tyson. Props to each and every one of them.

Super fit and fast you can see when he connected it stuns his opponent the sheer power💥

An excellent recounting - letting the fighters speak for themselves plus your occasional explanatory interjections was exactly all that was needed. Thanks a lot!

Its pretty crazy how he was able to throw so many consecutive punches all with equal power

He has definitely come a long way .. It's amazing listening to him talk about his struggles and life in general and is far more thoughtful and articulate and has insight and real wisdom.. much more than most people would ever expect judging by his earlier days.. I wouldn't get in the ring with him.. no way

Relentless. However when you look into his soul a very troubled man. Technically brilliant. A legend. Just watch his eyes = pure intention.

This video was very well compiled...leaving out as much as possible and concentrating on Tyson's finishes was smart. Thanks.

What amazes me is the killer blows that Tyson could take also... love watching his fights..

The crazy thing, there is still no one alive that could match Tyson in his prime. Pure domination

That uppercut coming up first on the list was so lethal

Prime Tyson was unstoppable. Pure perfection. Really enjoyed the video.

He had the intimidation of Liston, the speed of Ali, the endurance of Marciano, but most of all his own impatience, which turned out to be his weakness. He hated the ring bell. He was in a race with time. He was so good he depreciated boxing in general. Most opponents look like they're thrown in the lion's cage.

This video did an outstanding job illustrating Mike's ability to fight his way inside the bigger opponents and use his speed and power to get them out. Mike's 2 best fights in my opinion are his fights with Donovan "Razor" Ruddock. Mike proved in those 2 fights that he had an excellent chin and could still fight at an extremely high level despite the loss of Kevin Rooney as trainer. Mike was the best and I was very lucky to get the opportunity to grow up watching him.

*Mike Tyson: "that's right, it's mind over matter...I don't mind cuz YOU don't matter!"* 🥊🥊🤣

damn!!...he was really trying to kill his opponents...

Tyson is incredible I'm now 45 going on 46 and there still isn't anyone as bad as Tyson Tyson you were my idol you are still my idol good job for knocking out Holmes for Muhammad Ali we all love you

5:36 That referee dodged that wild swing of Tyson like a champ lol

Mike Tyson is my hero.He got good spirit. I have seen him help lift his opponent up to help him. Amazing spirit. Nice man,Mike Tyson.

murderous intent behind every punch.. you can see it. Dude was trying to knock people's heads into orbit. To be that fast and powerful at 20 years old is amazing. Most of us are barely a year or two removed from high school working at Mcjobs.. and this guy was on the path to being a world champ at 20.

RESPECT to all the men that fought Tyson but what a boxer Tyson was !!!!!!

Those Tysons precise elbows helped! Win by any means possible!

Wow I remember that Thomas fight, I couldn't believe how much of a beating he took!!

Rebalta's staredown: 'im trying to make you scared'. Mike's staredown: 'MEAT'

Incredible speed and power! My favorite fighter of all time! Dynamic, explosive! In his prime no one ever most feared!

I remember watching Mike win the title, I was in England ,I had never been so captivated and intimidated at the same time before.

This first fight I really appreciate that referee if he didn't stop the fight that guy would have gotten hurt permanently....What raw Power...
