[workouta]

StevenR74@ 190 lbs man he was light. 

[markmasala]

@workouta not for fifteen year old tho

[borderlord]

Rooney did have 10% deal,which was fair not 1/3.... I think Jacobs and Cayton had 30% split between them,well worth it for their business expertise and experience in keeping the shitheels and shysters at bay...shame he didn't stick with the old crew!

[SmexyPC]

"supreme shape" what a line

[SoJuDaMaN]

what's the song at 1:34 ??? anybody knows it?

[daljinski1989]

What is the name of the first song-when video start!?

i'm looking for this song very long time! please reply....

by the way mike is the best !!!

[spermoj]

why?? i dont think so

[RapedByRepublicans]

steve and kevin really cared for mike, unlike most of the other prominent figures in tyson's life. steve seems like such a sweet guy, the kind of guy that would defend mike to the death... mike needed people to protect him, he was street wise and physically unstoppable, but he was easily manipulated and led and he needed these men to keep the don kings and robin givens of the world away from him, if only mike had married miss universe/america instead of givens...

[RapedByRepublicans]

@RapedByRepublicans like if he had a woman who supported him as oppose to making him an untrusting emotional wreck, it was given's betrayal. that paved the way for don king's manipulation. king told him, you can't trust these bitches, you can't trust these honkies, you can only trust me, "i'm your 'soul brother' ". and thats how we ended up w/ the "fuck you till you love me" mike tyson instead of the hard working/ hard fighting k.o. monster that kevin, steve, and cus trained to perfection

[spermoj]

at 0.36 what he is drinking

[SpicyHam]

sex is better training

[KiidDynamiteReturns]

Bullshit

[gentorz]

If Rooney got 1/3 of the purse...he fucking deserved it. Tyson wouldn't have been as good as he was without Cus, Rooney or Atlas.

[Omer698]

nah he didn't he said he made like 5 million dollars with mike, a fraction of what Mike was making

[dapadawan]

@gentorz if he knew yeah but if he just swiped it hell no

you dont do things like that and how would you expect tyson to react

[Pacquiao29]

What do you think which tablets is Tyson taking in the video at 10:43AM ? Give me a "Reply"

Thanks Guys,

Tyson = Best

[deverell407]

just vitamins bro

[Eberflame]

What is the name of the song of 2:18 minutes, and returns at 3:31 minutes? Please.

[187YKZ893]

5am: Wake up and go for a 3 mile jog

6am: Back home for a shower and then back to bed

10am: Wake up and eat oatmeal

12pm: Do ring work

2pm: Eat another meal

4pm: More ring work and 60 mins on the exercise bike

5pm: Floor exercises: 2000 sit ups; 500-800 dips;500 press ups and 500 shrugs with a 30kg barbell and 10 mins of neck exercises

7pm: Eat steak and pasta meal again with fruit juice

8pm: Another 30 minutes on the exercise bike

9:30: Watch TV and then go to bed

[KiidDynamiteReturns]

Thats accurate but incorrect - he didnt do the amount of calisthenics you have listed. It wasnt just steak, pasta and juice.. he ate other things. You just gotta be smart

[hansul]

That's fake, but have's some facts in it, like the 3 mile morning jog. at 12 PM he did ring work yes, 10 rounds of sparring, speed,heavy and slip bag. Skipping rope, calisthenics... But I am sure that those are unaccurate number of reps.

[Rabbethepowah]

cuz once said, ur greatest strenth can become ur greatest weakness, time has prooven him right.

after rooney and teddy was fired tyson did abandonn his defensive side and was focusing more on pure power instead of head movement etc.

and one more thing to mention is that cus'd mato also told that the most important thing in boxing is to NOT GETTING HIT....

[gentorz]

True, but this is a man...who even though he did not train...he entered the ring and was knocking people the fuck out.

[Seahawks604]

awesomee quote at 0:16

[StevenR74]

Tyson was 190lbs when he was 15 years old.

[bikerrylan79]

@StevenR74  If I'm not mistaken, he had already hit this weight by age 13.

[NZA14]

@bikerrylan79 15 u were close 

[paymanz1]

@StevenR74 how u say it?how u now this?

[StevenR74]

@paymanz1 - Teddy Atlas (Tyson's first trainer when he got with Cus) claims this every time he's interviewed and asked about how he first met Mike. I can't prove it but Teddy Atlas is a fairly reliable source. Mike was a huge kid and teased by the other kids at school, calling him "Big Head Mike" and "Mighty Joe Young". The teasing soon stopped ... All this information comes from Teddy Atlas. Bullying made Mike the fighter he became in my opinion.

[paymanz1]

@StevenR74 190 for 15yo at mikes height is really huge

[hm31191]

@StevenR74 you got a link for all of this ? sounds interesting

[MultiGreat1]

@StevenR74 He met Mike Tyson when he was 12-13 years old where he was 190lbs. At 15 he was around 205-210lbs.

[HalfSloanHalfAmazing]

220 pounds at 12 isnt possible

You just made my IQ decrease by 13

[gentorz]

Tyson actually weighed 200 pounds at the age of 12.

[lenche95nis]

brate kralj

[wikedywikedywak]

the slip bag is class reli wrks need to b mre of em in gyms

[tuikalavo]

it was obvious when Rooney left the Tyson camp Mike began to deteriorate, his speed and head movement was gone...as a long time fan of Mike it was painful watching him fight, he was never the same boxer.

[boxingartist]

the trainers are just really stupid im 20 and i want to start boxing but i want to learn d'amato method of fighting as i am a small stocky heavyweight like tyson but i dont no where to go to learn it as i live in ilinois

[tuikalavo]

Kevin Rooney and Teddy Atlas are the only 2  trainers today who learned the "PEEK A BOO" style of fighting that Cus D'Mato developed used by Tyson....

[edudrepus]

If mike Tyson is arguable the most dominant fighter in boxing history why don't we see slip bags in every boxing gym?

[fadethetrade]

this was exactly what tyson stopped doing after firing rooney.That's why he looked like shit beginning with bruno 1 1989.All the tyson haters believe he was never good but what happenned was that he unraveled and stopped practicing the defensive techniques and the opponents saw this a nd started taking advantage and tyson haters think the other fighter wasn't intimidated but but mikes neglect in training caused that opening for the opponents.

[wikedywikedywak]

dat is bang on there was a massive difference from since he won the championship to bruno 1989.

[boxingisbest]

lol why rent a video when your rich!

[320996903]

What is the purpose of waking up at 4:00 AM if he goes back to sleep after running and then wakes up at 10:43? Why doesn't he just wake up at 9:43 and run then?

[boxingisbest]

either they just made that up or because tyson is stupid enough to think it gives him a little edge anyways do he take a shower after???? or is he lying in bed swetty?? i think its just bullshit

[boxingisbest]

he dident work out all day he only trained boxing for like 2 houres

[zatmanbobby]

Great dedication. Getting up at 4 a.m to go running, then training for the whole day. This is the sacrifice you have to do to achieve great things at any sport. To me, Mike Tyson is the greatest heavyweight of all time.

[boxingisbest]

do you have to have enough money to buy protein powder and vitamin pills to become champion??

[ilovesilvia69]

a big jug of protein is like 10 bucks. vitamins give u cancer.

[Makaveli16]

stfu, almost every type of food has vitamins in. fucking retard

[ilovesilvia69]

vitamin pills, dumb ass. wow you're a shmuck.

[Makaveli16]

shmuck lmao, so the vitamin changes because its in pill form?

[ilovesilvia69]

WOW. Yes, dumb ass. It's artificial. JEEEEZ

[hansul]

He trained 3 hours per day, and the narrator is telling that he is training 55 hours per week ?

[boxingisbest]

of course he dident train 8 houres a day they just tell that he does because then people go like wow. the fact is mike tyson ran 1 hour and then trained boxing for 2 houres with skipping ropes for 10 min heavy bag for like 10 mins alot of sparring and so on. the deal is its not abote training 8 houres its aboute doing 100% on 2houres if you do so you dont have any left for another training that day

[tuikalavo]

under Rooney Tyson was at his best...after Rooney got fired by Don King it was the begining of the end....his head, leg and body movement in attack and defence began to slow down, it was so obvious I couldn't believe I was watching the same fighter...when he fought after Rooney left, he kinda looked like a modern day Joe Frasier...Joe Frasier as Foreman said was so predictable, he was an excellent boxer but he had only 1 way of attacking..

[hiEverybodyitsMe]

Mike tyson would destroyd buster douglas,evander,lenox etc in his prime time...when kevin rooney and the management had to leave it started to going down for mikes career...don king had a very bad influence on mike.mike got terrible cornerman and management.thats my opinion.

[khairusha]

He was the best!!!

[PRFrancis]

One of steroids effects right after use is a deep voice, trust me that wasnt Tyson, also he was 180lbs at age 12, no sighns of steroid use during his fights either, hes clean.

[boxingisbest]

lol the reason of his voice is caused by to quick puberty wich occurs alot with black people cause the only food they get acces to is the cheap fattening fast food the high amounts of fat causes the hormones to belive that they should start puberty early for some reason by the way i was told he was 220 lean muscle at 12 thats why i was like wtf

[spinika7]

tyson was physically developed @ a very young age.....there was no massive and quick gain in muscle mass to suggest steroid use.....

[Orangewind]

They have had protein supplements since at least the 50's, so I guess, according to "boxingisbest", everybody from that point on had an unfair advantage.

[Orangewind]

I think he is just having fun, but I respond just in case some 12 year old kid reads his post and actually belives what he says.

[Xrezahrektd2176]

tyson wasnt one of the best boxers, he was THE best boxer in his prime.

[krazynigga780]

Shut the fuck up, this guys triceps are probably bigger than your entire body.

[Gorillayue]

i love mike tyson

[knucklez2]

What was that music score at the end?

[barrowliam]

30% of ricky hattons diet before a fight is supplements such as protein shakes etc.

[Orangewind]

He drinks the shakes that Dorian Yates sponsers...I've bought some and they are OK in taste, but supposed to be great quality protein.

[boxingisbest]

do you know why? cause they are scared scared of loosing. a athlete who wants to win is willing to do whatever he can and if he know the others take protein and carb drinks to get stronger and better he must do it himself or else he wont get good as fast as them if none taked em everything would be okey

[boxingisbest]

he drank protein powder mixed with water wich was banned from uk not boxing idiot and when it comes to tyson he can suck my balls cause he always said he was a naturall a naturall talent eats normal food and still reach the top retards

[boxingisbest]

your a fucking retard mike tyson was so called naturall strong so why couldent he just eat chicken or something? well its easyer to drink protein powder thats why you get a unaturall amount of muscle building proteins you couldent get of eating normal naturall food. thats why its cheating and yes everyone does it if steroids where legalised everyone would do it and that tells you alot

[beastilog]

u must b the dumbest person in the world(boxingisbest)

[boxingisbest]

really? tell my why

[brockf5]

didnt say all protein shakes only that brand

[boxingisbest]

that protein bottle to the right is that one that got banned from uk cause of its advanteges was considered as cheating fucking retard

[boxingisbest]

ok i cant understand this watch 00:40 for all who says ohh tyson is a naturally gifted strong guy. why tha fuck does he gulp down protein powder and his steroids then!!??? his the biggest sports hoax in the history but no one will realise it cause they dident meausured his goals like they do in sprint or weight lifting

[ottomansoilder]

fuLL stop . no fighter in boxxinf history is ass good as tyson,, and i mean nobody,, not ali, not rocky marsiano, formen, nobody,, is anything like tyson..

[hornybrownguy]

isnt tyson 5-11 than 5-10

[figthersdreams]

Why is Damatto and Rooney are the only trainers to ever used that ' peak-a-boo ' style with sucess?

I've never seen a fighter dogde punches like Mike Tyson ( the Mike in his prime before Douglas)

I also never met a boxing coach that could teach me that style that way...

What is it that peak-a-boo is like a forgotten way of boxing?

[ChErRyaVe20pK]

thats the only in which u have to train alot for- the most complex style, yet the best. also u hav to know how to take hits mentally for that style, and the proper way to dodge. when kevin rooney and cus gave that style to tyson, they focused 60% of the time only on defense.

[sdalliwall]

Tyson is a heavyweight but move like a fatherweight thats how quick that fast he is nobody ever stod a chance against him he is the ultamate when at his peak nobody can touch him like my man said he droped any of his apponent in 1-5 rounds or 5-1 rounds killer man just a killer look at how he train!

[ballerketballer]

nice

[gmel1084]

you sure? dont they only rub vasaline on there face?

[barrowliam]

gr8 video thanks (Y)

[gmel1084]

whats he rubbing on himself at 1:17?

[hornybrownguy]

i cant imagine another fighter train the way the 80s tyson did. bob sapp, chuck liddell, kimo slice etc. would have be dropped by tyson 1-5-5-1 combo. lennox and holyfield cant move or perform like tyson back in the days. mikes a legend.

[baselkicker]

thats just what i think! tyson is just amazing in his body moves and punch combos! i love his fight style and his attitude! hes just the boxing king eva

[sdalliwall]

tyson is the greatest ever!

[dalesalsa]

Damn man excellent footage! Too bad he had a lot of emotional problems that made him basically self implode.

[gogyyy]

tyson best
