Buster Douglas on Losing to Holyfield, Becoming Depressed, Weighing 400 lbs, Diabetic Coma (Part 13) 

All of the ppl being hateful in the comments probably have no idea what depression can do to a person. Hopefully Buster is in a better place now because he seems like a genuinely good person.

“Money means everything to me so I figured everyone else was like that.” -Vlad

Glad your Doing Well Champ!! Health is Wealth.. He’s well spoken compared to most Boxers..

God bless you Buster! People don't understand that struggle. Depression is real. I'm going through it myself. It is not easy.

Buster : It ain’t about the money, why you keep going back to this money thing? Vlad: so when you got that million dollar payout...

Buster with incredible patience and honesty throughout this interview. Bravo, Buster. 👊🏼

Money doesn't bring you peace. Vlad just doesn't understand that for some reason.

400lbs diabetic coma. 24million dollar payout. It was bad timing... It was about my health. Yeah one of the best legendary interviews..

Man.. sometimes you hear these stories and realize.. this guy never wanted to be a boxer..you wanna give Buster a hug.. he still misses his mom.. stay up Champ ✊🏾

Screw the $ Vlad, this is my life, what you keep going back to that $ for? (Favorite part of the interview) Vlad be needing that reality check

He did the impossible. He got to beat Tyson before Holyfield did.

I have a lot Of Respect for Mr Buster Douglas. Life can be Ruff!!! Win Loose or Draw, He still in the Game of Life.

I like Buster. Humble guy. God bless you Champ

From what I remember “experts” saying about Buster, this was his M.O. Always had the talent but his drive was inconsistent. Against Tyson his mom was his inspiration, after that I don’t think he had anything else driving him in that same way.

Sound like he was in a deep depression

I think Buster didn’t get up because he realized that he wasn’t going to win that fight. Evander was thoroughly outboxing him and he knew that he wasn’t in the best shape so he just stayed down.

The one thing nobody will ever take away from this man: He beat Tyson in his prime. Even the baddest muthafuka u know could only do that in PUNCH OUT

If there were a lot of issues going into Buster’s fight with Holyfield then you cannot discount what Tyson was going through in their fight. I’m not taking anything away from Buster’s win over Tyson, however, it’s safe to say that there are many positive and negative factors that may impact fighters on fight night.

Royce: VLAD be sellin our trauma back to us.

I appreciate this interview because we get to know what happened with Douglas from Tyson to Holyfield.

"I took it out on myself." Been there done that and it takes decades to make it better. Unless you've been there,you have no idea.

I don't know why Buster had me laughing so hard this morning. Vlad: What happened in the first 2 rounds? Buster: I don't even remember.

Wish he wasn't interrupted while explaining exactly why he wanted the Holyfield fight. Of course money was the biggest factor, but how was the decision made? Was Holyfield applying a lot of pressure? The confidence factor seemed to play a role in the matchup and consequently buster's ensuing career. He seemed to avoid the idea of rematching Holyfield. I would like to see Vlad follow up on that question. I believe buster's decision to fight holyfield has a great impact on the entire division going forward

I Salute you Buster Douglas, as for the hating comments, Those who can DO, Those who can't, Well___there's nothing you can say to them because they can't.

Damn he had to drop 40 lbs just to get to 245? He was definitely not in boxing shape after dropping all that weight

I remember days before the Holyfield fight, he was hanging out with Macaulay Culkin at a basketball game, stuffing his mouth with hotdogs

Lesson learned, always tell the truth.

Leave Buster alone. He accomplished more than any of us put together.

Depression is real and what a sad situation. people were more than likely just trying to get what they wanted from him instead of making sure he was good.

His best sports interview. Mostly cuz buster is so forthcoming Thank god he ain't mad to be there like u god

This part of the interview is painful to watch. This guy's best friend was his mother. She passed, and he had to focus on training for the fight of his life overseas. He NEVER got the chance to mourn properly. After winning the fight, he had the ultimate high, then he went back to the ultimate low because he didn't have his best friend to share it with. No amount of money fixes that. When he finally got to mourn, he got depressed, ate way too much, and didn't have a schedule that allowed him to lose that weight. His state of mind and physical condition was worse. Holyfield beat Tyson pretty easy, so the Holyfield fight was even tougher for Buster than the Tyson fight. Also, there was all the stress of the new fame of being the new Heavyweight Champ and the expectations you have to live up to. The death of his mom, the pressure of new found fame, and a harder fight were all looming over him. Vlad needs to be more sensitive about people discussing depression. I'm glad Buster checked him. That's why Godfrey and Lord Jamar are coming at Vlad, cause he's always focusing on money, how much he made and how much he values what other people made too.

Even after this long he’s so much disturbed by that loss!

I’m one of the biggest Tyson fans ever. I grew up with him . Buster wasn’t a fluke that night! Buster was a man on a mission and DESERVED the belt. Buster Douglas isn’t a fluke, in my opinion, but a legit champion of the world! Hopefully Mr. Douglas is doing well. Thanks for the memories, champ!

God Bless you Mr Douglas stay strong 💪

Yes he got 24.6 million for the fight Vlad, but u forgetting there's Taxes, managers, Don King,, etc. He probably end up with 13-14million after all that.

Imagine if he beat Tyson during the social media age.

Vlad does nothing but push every negative aspect of a person he interviews, never talks about anything positive with these peoples lives, stop supporting this clown man

"I don't even remember" nuff said.

🤔Bottom line is this 👉 Evander Holyfield was the best heavyweight back then! Better than Buster, better than Tyson. Evander was just the best Heavyweight back then.. PERIOD! 💪 And his Championship heart and toughness is literally unmatched in boxing history !

One of the best performances ever against Tyson 👍

God bless you all❤️🙏🏼

I never thought after all these years Trick Daddy and Buster Douglas would end up looking more similar in current form

buster net worth is 15 million now, good for him he was smarter then most retired fighters

Vlad how many fights u lost let's talk about it

Vlad You are The GOAT for this ONE! Columbus Legend sitting across from you!

He is the Andy Ruiz of that time period

Vlad finally letting the person he interviewing talk 🤣😂

This is a good jawn.

Buster is a champ who beat a champ and got beaten by a champ. All champions Much respect

Great to see Buster Douglas epic fight and one of the best heavyweight fights of all time back and forth till Tyson got caught and that image of Mike trying to put his mouth piece on is sad.

He keep telling this guy how things were going on at the time , and Vlad keeps the wrong questions going that’s too too much .. talk about him getting back and now.!

Funny how he remembered everything from the Tyson fight but not about the Holyfield fight lol just admit you pulled a Andy ruiz before Andy Ruiz.

Buster should uppercut this fool. Understand that he gained the weight from depression. Buster got the pressure Tyson faced as champion

buster is a survivor , God bless him

I remember buster was ordering pizza while in training camp

Buster wanted to win man. Money ain’t everything. Shouldn’t be neglected, but going for something trying to be the best even though shit ain’t going right. You loose. Shit hurts.

Basically Glad called him a quitter

I remember Buster's once in a lifetime fight versus Tyson vividly. I was so pissed and in complete disbelief afterwards. King ruined Tyson by turning him against Kevin Rooney and his original training team.

dude used to look like 50 cent, now he look like Bizarre from D12...

Vlad need to start doing more non-profit interviews like this one frfr

Vlad thought he was going to agree with his point of view about money

Man..... This dude to a few too many shots. Definitely one of the greatest upsets next to Ali & Foreman. I wish him the best.

Man holyfeild must hit hard cause even Mike tried to bite his ear off

Vlad you always violate or draw people out your a punk bro, people have genuine problems and you exploit them, the guy is a legend should of showed more respect your lucky I don't cuss you out.

8:49 buster was about to knock Vlad out like he did Tyson

Ain't nothing fucking with that Era PERIOD

Vlad: In 3rd round you were knocked out Buster: Yeah...that was a terrible time Me: 🤣🤣🤣

He couldn’t handle the fame that came with beating Mike. He was clearly out of shape and not prepared to compete against Evander. The way he showed up for Holyfield was the way he was suppose to show up for Mike.

Buster: why you keep going back to the money ? Vlad: stares jewingly*

Such a great interview it’s a shame every video is just flooded with excuses for why Tyson lost. He lost get over it. Take in the rest of this mans story

Lol, he can remember every detail about the Tyson fight, but you ask him about Holyfield and he remembers nothing lmao

Got dam 24 million?? Well he did beat the heavyweight champion.

What a mess. He became champ but then the world came after him for it. Holyfield was after the several other knockouts, the biggest being that he had no life equilibrium.

Dope

No doubt

Lot of thangs was going........take note casuals. Always gotta be on point and focus on your goal or find a way to get back on track. Whether going through divorce and bad management with fake manager and circle stealing from ya or you depressed from some other shit, ya gotta find that tunnel vision.

he says there was a lot going on at the time, it was a terrible time..why not ask him what was going on exactly that made it so terrible? vlad is frustrating sometimes

Damn i thought this was E40 by the thumbnail. 😂

Thought he was Trick Daddy for a minute

When buster mention all the lawyer drama to deal with and his head is not in the game and the fight is coming up in 5 weeks and wasn't any time to get ready. No buster you have aholes that work with you. Cancel the fight date and set a new date. This is your career and you are the champ. This is your dream don't settle for less. Give it all you have and if the out come is not good you can say not to the public but to your self you gave it all end of discussion.

You Can Tell Even He Win and Beat TYSON but Buster got damage after that fight and not the same and you Can tell in the INTERVIEW he try to put himself together to ANSWER Dj Vlad question, The different Mike speak Well and still talk better then most of the 90 Fighters

man he looks like he's in another state of mind

It’s heartbreaking hearing these retired boxers talk and how their bodies give up on them .. man i love boxing but it just doesn’t seem worth it lol

I feel really bad for Buster. If he would have beat Tony Tucker maybe things would have been different. He still has the biggest upset in Sports history forget just Boxing history. Happy he rebounded after those 4 years. Good dude

I would like to see Buster Douglas vs Shaquille O'Neal. I know Shaq ain't no boxer but still I definitely love to see an exhibition fight.

I wonder what really happened no mom no support team just lost I know the feeling being up at the Top and then ur at the hospital depression is serious

He wanted anything but a Tyson rematch 🤣

Get back into shape and give Tyson his rematch. 😂

You can tell when he got knocked out he didn’t wanna get up he was going through some shit either with the MOB for that Tyson shit or something

I'm getting depressed just watching him.

He can remember everything about the about the Tyson fight but can't remember 3 rounds with Holyfield.

Buster douglas had to lose to save boxing from don king. If buster won he would have had to go back to being signed to don king.

Vlad can be very disrespectful, he keeps bringing up and also ridiculing these negative situations that Douglas was in at one point.

Glad Don’t Let Up

His done this whole interview with his eyes closed

24 Ms is a jackpot for sure

Does Buster has his sight? Anyone knows?

Right...

8:54 You'd swear this is Joe Louis...

The man beat Mike Tyson!! All of that other shit is irrelevant....and he was paid 24 million for a fight, and lost. Thats what you call losing the battle, but winning the war.
