M Lee george foreman fought his last fight at age 48, it is possible to fight longer. mike tyson didn't get beat up alot in his career. if he didnt use so much drugs and alcohol, i think his body could handle it.
DragonThank yeah okay he would have done a lot better without the prison sentence, without Givens, and without firing Rooney which I think was the beginning of the end, and I know about Foreman but he made a return after a retirement before, he didnt continue all the way through to 50 non stop so thats a shit example mate.
+Rogerio Barbosa He would have eventually gotten in a fight with rooney and left him but at least rooney would have kept him undefeated until jail. when he fought spinks, he didnt take a day off in training for 10 years! douglas stopping tyson was a fluke because tyson allowed it to happen by not training anymore and had the wrong trainer. His training virtually stopped after the spinks fight and certainly after he broke his hand and for the bruno 1989 fight, tyson only trained two weeks. His peekaboo ideology and model was never returned after firing rooney. He was cruisin for an 'ass whuppin" as aaron snowell elequently told him jan 1990.
In the very beginning (45 seconds) of this documentary subtitles read that Tyson was the 1st to unify the WBC, WBA, & IBF belts...& at the 48th second subtitles read "The first boxer since Ali to do so." There was no International Boxing Federation n Ali's time. Mike Tyson was THE FIRST heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBC, WBA, & IBF titles, and THE ONLY ONE to successively unify them 11-22-86 Berbick WBC TKO 2nd round 03-07-87 Bone Crusher Smith WBA UD 08-01-87 Tony Tucker IBF UD
Tyson's life is the ultimate representation of the idea that both men and women are equally terrifying. Never underestimate a man's ferocity or a woman's guile. Not saying they're all like that. Just that they can be.
He is the best ever. He is the most brutal and vicious, and most ruthless champion there's ever been. There's no one that can stop him. He is Sonny Liston, Jack Dempsey. There's no one like him, He is from their cloth. There's no one that can match him. His style is impetuous, His defence is impregnable He is just ferocious. Praise be to Allah!...
+fadethetrade I think the problem with Mike after jail was it gave him time to think about what really happened and he realized what a fool he had been played for, it turned him into a hot head with nothing but hate and anger twords everyone, it lost him his comeback fights, boxing when it comes down to it is a science, you need to stay focused
+fadethetrade ya your right it was basically over when cus died and their was no father figure left for Mike, then Don king happened and brainwashed mike into thinking the white people around him where against him
+fadethetrade actually it was after Kevin Rooney was fired and tyson started getting trainers focussing on just making him bigger and stronger as a one punch knockout boxer, instead of keeping his speed, still had great power though even at the end
True he should of won after round 8...but he certaintly would of lost his very next fight with hollyfield in 1990 how it should of went down....he lost one fight early. And hollyfield was robbed the oppurnity and first man to beat tyson....tyson wasnt the same fighter after rooney left in 89...and had no defense nor trained properly anymore.
"He tears through opponents and recaptures two of his titles"....why do they show Spinks, Holmes, Rabalta, etc. when they show that subtitle? He beat them long before going to prison.... May as well make a WWII documentary and show the twin towers burning down while they discuss it.... makes no sense at all.
Holyfield kicked his ass, haha Mike greatest of all time. he was ready for Evander and got schooled. Evander is so underrated as he fought the baddest dudes around in the 90's. Tyson didn't even want any of an old Foreman! That's what time it is.
To be honest, Robin was good for him. It was her who told him jim Jacobs and don king was ripping him off. He just got married too young. When ur the baddest man on the planet and every beautiful women throwing themselves a u...its impossible to stay married
all I can say if anyone was in any kind of drug at the time MTV made these type of videos whether you where on cocaine,marijane, or even salt and pepper.. you'd start having and epyliptic seizure and rushed to the hospital after you'd fell and hit your head on the coffee table. drugs are bad kids .
+phantomelmisj This video is terrible. It glorified tyson when he was at his worst, not best. These film producers envied tyson more when he became a thug again after 1988. His fighting skills deteriorated when he fired rooney. His attitude outside the ring deteriorated afer leaving Bill Cayton. This video is a bad rap on tyson because it shows the dawg of tyson, the ghetto tyson, the sewer tyson. that gets these producers off. I like the tyson from 86-88. I don' like any other tyson after he fired rooney and I gave him one more chance leaving prison, there he is and no kevin rooney AGAIN! Goodbye, career over.
