I NEED you to explain this to me... My back is in the corner right now and I'm not sure I can go another round... So I'm looking for everything I can to keep me in the fight tonight.
The pain this man must endure with all these dark memories.... I remember when he lost to Lennox Lewis. I genuinely believed he would completely go off the rails and end it all too soon. The way hes turned his life around, while still living with all these demons... truly inspirational.
Often....hours like this one..4 a.m. i search for something....something....im 70 years old...searching....and this time i found this. Tgis man who we have had .....on or life's radar some times...for many yearsnow. And i listened eyes closed...bo words for the depth of his soul...his spirit...that he shared with me.if you see him tell gim i said thank you. Wow. 🕊 🕊
I’m an ex-boxer only because I’m now older and broken broken wrist broken ribs caved in face broken knuckles brain damage because I thought like Mike Tyson the peekaboo style until I learnt and then called shinbone and yet I’ve done a lot of other damage in many other ways there’s no answer to fighting but death or brain damage and broken bones one out of 1000 will make it and yet still Mike Tyson is still my best hero ever
Mike Tyson. I have so much admiration for you…. Dedication is what we all need you, my son blue, the word dedication right out there. Cus was there for you. How you look up for him , and connect is a blessing… the world troubles, is BS. We should take note, there is someone for you! Just turn around and train. Boxing 🥊 is a great sport… you can keep fit , and dance. But you can also find what we all have that’s survival. Take care ❤
Although he may never see this please know your videos saved my life.. for every second i wish to die is every second i listen to him and i chose to live. Even if its for that second. They say your life can end in a matter of a second but your life can also begin just ss fast so thank you Mike
Good. It helps to the hear the wise words of others. Hard earned wise words. We have to try to live so that we have worthwhile words to pass on to others, too. I’m happy you’re out there. Helps me to know others are trying to get better at life and are listening to Iron Mike to help them.
Man.. i am speechless! Inspiring does not even being to describe what Mike just put in our Minds! We all have greatness in many different forms. No matter how Dark life gets believe and give all you got. Light is at the end of the tunnel. God bless!!!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I love him he’s my hero just look into his eyes as he goes into every single fight they show you his face look at his eyes and if you know people and you can read people just look at his eyes
I remember being in Awe of Mike. Then liking Mike. Then being surprised about Mike. Then not understand Mike. Then thinking Mike was crazy. Then feeling sorry for Mike. Then thinking Mike was really crazy. Then thinking-why everybody always judging Mike. & Why don’t they just leave Mike alone. Then 5/6 yrs ago I heard him speak for the first time and was completely in Awe of this man, his character, his core, his story, his triumph, his humility, his warrior spirit, his humbleness. I think I would have crumbled like dry leaves under the weight of what Mike has endured in his lifetime. He is a special kind of person, he really is.
Tyson wasn’t born. He was forged. Through darkness, struggle, pain, suffering, failure, loss, all this dark shit gave us the Mike Tyson we have today. I love you Mike. Thank you for being real, for sharing your stories, and your showing all of us what can be done if we just keep going.
This is what I workout out to, I started a workout journey exactly 1 month ago. I was doing 100 push-ups a day, by randomly doing 25 reps in the morning, after work, right after I eat supper and before I go to bed. On my days off I’d just randomly get up and do my reps. I’ve been so sore lately but that’s because I realized I needed to do more, my body was too used to working out. now that I upped my reps today to 200 not thinking I’d be able to do it, I actually did it. I can’t say it gets worse, but for me it go better and I feel way better. It’s a rough start but once you get through the first week it just feels so casual.
This is ab incredibly strong man. Not many could endure all this man has been through and touched upon all the lives he has. I have the greatest respect for his struggle and outcome. I could listen to his spirit all day. Yes Mike you are an incredible roller. Such an excellent analogy.
Who would have guessed that there is anything capable of hitting you harder than Mike Tysons fists... low and behold its the words from this man that have a deeper impact than even one of his rib shattering body punches. A true testament to this man and his condition that we all share, the HUMAN condition, and how just like his mastery in the art of boxing, he is now trying to master the art of being a decent human being. and jus like his boxing career hes killing it. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MIKE. I FOR ONE WILL FOREVER BE IN YOUR CORNER 💯
He was a baby and life was fast now he has time to live and show us who is mike, not mike Tyson the fighter. The man talk with deep love you! You can hear an feel the passion in him
100% I'm ALWAYS in IRON MIKES corner... And I couldn't agree with you more. His words hit me wayyyy Harder then any Punch Mike ever through. His words hit me so hard they completely changed my life. Besides Jesus Christ the Mans my Hero. God Bless you Mike . i pray everyday some day I can meet Mike. I'm not exaggerating when I say. His words changed my life. I was a heroin addict until one day I heard a speech by him on RU-vid. I quit heroin that day. Been almost 3 years. Love you iron Mike. I owe you brother.
Just sitting here at my kids final practices and watching my son and tearing up listining to this and reflecting on where im at today compared to where i was. This is an amazing video of inspiration.
Mike, I am inspired and I could directly relate to growing up in a household that makes you want to leave and not come back until it's time for bed. Verbal and physical abuse regularly at home and in Catholic school. My life went down hill from 13 until at 35 I crashed and burned. I'd been a heroin addict. I was able, by God's grace, to completely change eventuall finding myself in a high profile position that allowed me to help point inmates whose crimes were fueled by addiction, in a new direction. Whenever my recommendation for long term rehab was granted by the judge as an option to a state prison sentence I always felt my spirit, light as a feather and energized as I left the court room. It was what I was meant to do. It took 4 to 5 years to establish credibility with the judges but once I did of all my reports and recommendations about 80 to 85% were approved by the courts.
I'm still in the throes of addiction and I want hope but I'm just not finding it. I was the nicest looking guy in detox when I used to go in my early 20's well now in 44 and ain't looking so good or feeling very good and I never heard about anyone stopping after 25 years. I thought I had a great life ahead of me and that seems like a long past dream
@@user-gs6dv5my4o I definitely feel you brother. I haven't forgotten. It's hard to say what it takes for each individual might be touched in a certain way by an event, an experience or a particular set of circumstances that somehow come together at the right time. Personally, I started with detoxing from large amounts of methadone and valium for 5 days. I didn't experience withdrawal symptoms until the 3rd day in. It was real rough in the begining. I had no urge to use. I was so sick and mentally/emotionally disturbed I felt almost paralyzed and afraid to leave the appt. with my wife and kids. Some guys from Narcotics Anonymous had come to see me in detox so I had a few phone numbers. I felt desperate to stay clean. Fear of the drugs and what I could lose ie. Our appt. which we did. Or the kids but didn't. I went to as many meetings as I could get to with a car that would only start sometimes. I couldn't sleep night after night my thoughts racing. All bad. At one point I was both homicidal and suicidal. I sat rocking back and forth telling my wife to call an ambulance or crises management because I don't trust myself. The phone rang. I grabbed it and it was a guy I asked to Sponsor me. He asked where I'd been. He wanted to know if I was reading, writing, talking to other recovering addicts etc. etc. He shot down all my excuses one by one. He ended with: "Anything past but is bull shit. By the time we hung up I felt at peace. I realized I was fighting myself internally about whether going to meetings and participation in other way was best for me. Even though it felt good to do what I had been doing my sick mind was still looking for a way out. Of all the chapters in the book,"What can I do?" Caught my eye. I thought it would be a way to do this stuff alone. It was like my body mind and soul were toast yet the addiction wouldn't let go easily. I spent 16 years participating in NA. It saved me and my family and I was able to find some purposes in life I was passionate about. You'd be surprised what you can get simply by attending meetings if you pay close attention to all that is read and spoken. It rubbed off on me even before I started active involvement. Yet we're all a bit different as addicts we're all the same. Blessings brother. You will find your way. Peace
Unless you have been in the pit of hell like this man and climb out to the man he is now..you have not understood life...I have so much admiration for this man because I understand.
Sometimes you can't hate the dragons that you meet along the way in life, as some are sent to make you become the giant you will become. God knows what you need to get to where he needs you to be.
Mike Tyson you are really such an inspiration. You were the best boxer and now you talk the best sense than anyone in the world. Everybody whatever age, colour or nationality should listen to what you say. I am truly grateful that you have acheived so much in life despite having so much against you. You are a true hero
Mike ,you are truly one of a kind, God Bliss your heart You inspire myself and so many others, thank you for sharing your experience, you will never be forgotten As human or one the best Boxer in the Worl.
God gave this man so much, then left it behind. Then this Man found God. Now this Man has found Himself. Now this Man shares himself and God and Life with Us. Thank You Mike Tyson we Love You, please continue to Love the World. God bless Us All.
Everyone goes through hard dark times. And we all have made bad decisions and mistakes. But what really matters is what we learn along the way. It’s not about the bad things and the hard times we’ve been through but it’s all about finishing well. I’m so proud of Mike Tyson because he’s learnt a lot along the way and seems he’s finishing well
I don’t mean any arrogance or disrespect with my comment coming. Without details I have a lot in common with him after digging deep in his story. Besides being white. Massive detail there. When he speaks I listen and when he cries I cry. He after all he has been through is someone to at least give a listen no matter your default assumptions like many. So negative. I’m not Allah. Not god. Who the hell am I to judge another man. I’m no fan boy. But I truly admire and am a fan of what this man represents in so many facets of life and self. To be a high level combat athlete as I was (not boasting, I’m irrelevant now) you need some level of arrogance that surpasses your humility. Mentality is huge, as we hear how Cus thought and groomed mike. Not all healthy but intention matters. He loves mike so much. So incredibly proud. Wish cus kicked it 10 years later. Mike would have avoided so much painful tribulations. How naive are so many who think he’s less intelligent because of his street lingo with a intense emotional rapid highs and lows multiplied with his lisp. Just read what the man says and you will learn a lot. I had everything (not his level lol) and lost it all. Cars. Houses. Wives. Plural yes. Drugs. Crime. Jail. Mental institutions. Dead son. Lost my other daughter. N hearing him helped me not feel sorry for myself. You either exist and die or live and move onward and UP. attitude is a habit. I got ptsd. BPD. Aspd. Bla bla bla. I made it an excuse. I ain’t my diagnosis or labels. You can be whatever you damn well want. When I didn’t know my ptsd. I did better. Funny how that works. Love to y’all. Hope people are getting something out of his pain. So it ain’t for nothin. Il end with his line, not verbatim. “It’s one small step from the limousine to the curb”. Don’t get to Cindy and cocky. Lose it allllllllllll real fuckin quick. I sure did. Mike can’t think he’s a legend but that’s fine. He must know to many he is. He should be dead or in jail or homeless high on drugs on his way to the grave. I can’t fathom that much trauma and be even remotely functional. My story is very bad and it broke me and lucky to be here. His trumps mine by multiples but he’s not functional, he’s MADE IT. N as well helping others. Mashallah mike. Alhamdoulilah. Asalaam Alaykum Peace be upon y’all. Anyone here gotta have some heart❤️💯. Much love. Salaam
I think one of the most interesting things mike has ever said in an interview was when he talks about cus and says "why me how did he know i was the one till this day i dont understand"
What a guy ,I thought I hard it bad .always loved Mike but never knew why he had all these psychotic behaviors .thanks for Opening up now have more respect and love for you Mike
You have to pick a side, man i felt this in my soul🙏🏽 me and you grew up alot alike,if I ever get the chace to meet you I would just like to talk , so much wisdom.
Very interesting to hear Mike talk and get a look at the personality behind the Iron Mike Tyson.. Hear his story gives you a real motivational perception
What you have learned, you must teach others Mike....Pass on what Cuss taught you. It might not be Boxing Mike it might be LIFE... Much absolute respect to you for sharing....We all get slapped down in life, It only matters how quick we get back up off the floor....
