this was just before Tyson's skills started to slowly get worse, when he still had Kevin Rooney before the frank Bruno fight Tyson was just unstoppable at this point.
Tyson first and biggest lost was against himself! true but sad..... when he at last lost that fight he could loose to the other third class fighters (execpt for Holyfield and Lewis)
Greatest fighter ever. I want to see him in more things. Movies, products, etc... just don't tarnish the image that we see here. Bring back what we see in this vid.
@bestbboymusicchannel I bet you wouldn't say that to his face, you're the real bitch for saying that shit about Tyson from behind your computer screen.
everyone keeps saying firing rooney was his downfall.... its not like he forgot all the techniques, he just got lazy and started trying to whack bums out with one shot... he simply lost the desire after making hundreds of millions of dollars at 20 years old....
i know hes not moaning just that im a huge mike tyson fan and i would be wetting myself to get a interview with him they should have had a boxer interview him who knew who mike really was not an ex footballer.
whys jimmy moaning at the beginning of the segment he should be glad he has even been offered the chance to interview the legend that is mike tyson i want to see u brother what the hell is jimmy on.
@RedneckkRudy - good comment rudy. But also, it was more than just mike controlling his demons. It was his whole freaking training staff helping him. From Cus to Kevin rooney. When they disappeared, so did the control of the demons.
lol @ how tyson talks about having no disregard for money...no wonder he became broke..when i watch old tyson interviews he always predicts his future to a tee
when he talks about fear what a great answer,no robes no socks he realy was a warrior knew the art of war.
jus shows u his life you can be nobody and be sombody but same time his life is a lesson to us all no mater how much u make or fame u have there people out there work jus as hard to break you.
Yeah. He had great trainers and managers like Cus and Kevin and it started to got downhill when he changed trainers. He won fights after prison but wasn´t as good as he used to be. Don and Robin was only after his money.
bothe legends jimmy greaves was a top player in his day and so was iron mike they had so much natural talent it was unbelievable what made me laugh was when mike was showing jimmy how he takes his opponent out i reckon jimmy fancied himself to go toe to toe with mike but then realised hold on a sec this is tyson lol
well the interviewer mentioned the tubbs fight but not the spinks fight so i guess it was between them fights which is march 1988 and june 27 1988 so he was 22.
this is late 1988 i think. Cus wasnt around anymore sadly he died in 1985 when tyson was just 18 years old.
But here Tyson still trains with Kevin Rooney. shortly after this he fired Rooney, what defenetely was one of his biggest mistakes he could do in his life! Still: Tyson 4 ever
@baselkicker wtf thats exactly what he said, was that cus died in 1985.. good for u for reading the heller book, you should read the torres tyson book fear & fire ..very good tyson bio
@rabmcnab1 That's so sad but Cus D'amato KNEW Tyson would become heavy-weight champion . Awesome fighter. Awful that he went in to self-destruct mode . Doing well now though from what i can tell .
@Killer141288 Actually, muhaha106 got the dates right, but Mike was born June 30, 1966, so he was 21 and turned 22 three days after the Spinks fight, unless muhaha was just rounding up to age 22. Still, good observation. Since Tyson-Spinks was such a (supposed) mega-match and wasn't even mentioned, find out when that fight was confirmed (it was announced Feb 15, but I guess not finalized) and you can date this video between March 22, 1988 and whenever Tyson-Spinks was officially confirmed. :)
