WBA, WBC, IBF & Lineal world champion at age 21. The baddest man on the planet 🥊🌍

Whether he's the best or not is a whole different story, he really was the most exciting boxer ever, that's for sure.

Yeah I agree the Spinks fight was Tyson at his absolute peak, wasn't quite the same without Rooney in his corner.

THIS is Rummy's Corner! Nothing I like to hear more when I check KZfaq

Big up Rummy, always love a “Rummys corner” video! 👍🥊

I really like this series! Thought about doing Sonny Liston? Many people don't know much about him other than two Floyd Patterson wins, a Cleveland Williams win and a Ali loss twice

Tyson is Comfortably Top 5 to me. To be completely impartial you have to seperate his career into two parts 1985-1991 & 1995-2005. Tyson was 41-1 before his 4 and half years inactivity. During the years 19985-1991 he became The Youngest Heavyweight Champion in History. The First Heavyweight to Unify the belts from the WBC, WBA & IBF. He is the last Heavyweight that was P4P number 1. He beat 10 of the top 11 fighters during that time, the 11th being the lineal. He made 10 title defences. He beat the best fighters around that through time, espectially the internet age have been criminally underrated. Think about this Tyson Fury is 30-0 and is 32-33 years old. Tyson was 41-1 at 25 and had accomplished all of that. To overlook that is just plain wrong. If you can't be impartial you shouldn't comment. i'm more of a Holmes, Ali and Lennox fan so it isn't a fanboy here i'm just a person that has no agenda against him.

This is what i needed to go with Breakfast this morning

Please make a Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, James Toney and Evander Holyfield top 5 notable wins Rummy

I saw the Rummy's Corner video, and cool as an assassin, I moved to click...

I grew up with Tyson unleashed on the boxing scene. I feel blessed. He was inspiring especially since he usually KOd boxers twice his size.

Imagine doing this video for Deontay Wilder in 20 years time. 1. Luis Ortiz 1 2. Bermanie Stivern 1 3. Arthur Spilka 4. Luis Ortiz 2 5. Dominic Breezeale But there is still a section of the Boxing community that want to call Wilder a Great and a Future HOF.😂😂😂

Tyson is more than special. He never lost to anyone below 6 foot 2 inches and a half. He fought a lot of guys who were bigger than him.

Excellent as always, Rummy!

What a pleasant surprise from Rummy this morning. The excitement Tyson generated was incredible.

i can listen to Rummy talk boxing all day !!

This channel should be on tv 100%

Rummy's Corner deserves more subs!

The way that you expose the criticism , and shows how it affects BOTH FIGHTERS , is AMAZING #godswork

Man he had some power when he was younger,still does

People really shit on Tyson for only beating "tomato cans" but as Rummy has said before, the division line-up during Tyson's reign wasn't anything he had control over. While he did have one of the fastest fall offs of any HW champ, he still showed off a tremendous amount of skill, prowess and success at such a young age. The win over Holmes is also discounted by fans and while Larry was obviously out of his prime physically, his technique and experience was able to carry him through the elite level and yet Tyson beat him relatively easily. There's more I could say and I trust I'll have to do so when defending my personal views to those who respond to this comment, all that I ask is that you actually give a decent argument and not waste my time.

I often cite the pinky thomas fight as what I consider to be prime tyson. Agree on the Holmes win being very impressive. Nice vid

There's no other video I would have loved more from Rummy (probably). Mike Tyson was by far one of the best boxers if you see him in his prime. Such a vicious and ferocious man was destroyed by the likes of Don King and his associates. When he had Cus d Amato and Kevin Rooney by his side he was an unstoppable beast, not because he won every fight with em but the way he fought his opponents. Gladly Mike has overcome so many difficult situations in his life, and is finally able live happily.

always makes my day when Geoffrey drops a video ,long may it continue

Mike Tyson is the reason I became addicted to Boxing. Rummy's Corner is the reason the addiction continues 😁 🥊

i’m grateful for every rummy contribution. this vid especially bc (no surprise) i love iron mike. i grew up in nyc in the 90s, enough said. we love many other fighters too, but there’s only one mike tyson. nothing like the social experience of a prime tyson fight night.

Thank you so much for all the great videos Rummy!

Great video Rummy this is my top 5 Mike Tyson’s greatest fights 1-. Michael Spinks 2-. Larry Holmes 3-. José Ribalta 4-. Pinklon Thomas 5-. James Tillis

Razor Ruddock x 2 should be in there too. Tyson fought him when no one else wanted to.

Always happy to see new posts from you. Love your work!

I have had so many people say Tyson had no boxing skill and was just a big puncher. Nothing could be further from the truth Tyson was a technical fighter with a big punch. I liked how he did that Studer before throwing his left hook and catching the counter uppercut with his right.

Rummy, you're spot on. I love your boxing analysis and knowledge. Truth be told...Iron Mike had guys beaten before they got into the ring. But yeah, Spinks and Holmes have never been stopped in their career until Mike Tyson.

Rummy’s corner we need more of these videos. 🥊🥊

Rummy continues with top content

SUPER EXCITED TO WATCH THIS

Found Rummy during lockdown, all the brilliant video's preserved my sanity...

I agree Rummy, well done with the video and stay safe!

Great stuff Rummy!! You're the best with boxing history/ content on here.

At last! Thanks Rummy! You're tha man!

Thank you Rummy! Boxing fans rejoice!

I like when he fought Donnie Long! ! The Interview was great before the fight also.

Great Video again Rummy! I am a great boxing and Tyson Fan. I read some books about him and tried to understand his career. The loss of Jim Jacobs in 1988 and Cus Damato in 1986 seemed to have a great impact on his career. He fired Kevin Rooney after the Spinks fight, what in my opinion was his greatest fault. I totally agree with your Top 5.

Thanks. I appreciate boxing more because of your excellent work.

I've never seen a really good angle of Tyson's knockout punch on Spinks. Not sure one exists.

Great vid as usual Rummy, fully agree with the order!

Glad you're back always waiting in anticipation for your next video rummy's corner. I'm from Brooklyn and a Mike Tyson fan but I often wonder what would have happened Mike Tyson fights a prime Larry Holmes.

Your List was pretty bang on i wouldn't have had Bruno in my top 5 even tho it was a Great performance 5. Berbick was hyped beating a 26-0 champion in Pinlon Thomas who had HOF fighters on his resume 4. Razor Ruddock ✌ Ruddock stood up to Mike and Broke his bones that was Mike's gut check moment 3. Toney Tucker was Mike's best opponent to that date beat prime Oliver MCcall, Orlin Norris and was had just stopped Buster Douglas and could match Mike for skill 2. Larry Holmes because of the Devastating fashion and because he went on to beat an unbeaten Mercer, 1. Michael Spinks because he was the Olympic Champion undisputed LHW Champion and was the legit Linial HW Champion and beat Holmes twice and was unbeaten in his own right. Thats my top 5 anyway

Mike Tyson Is one of the most recognizable boxes of all time and is always on everybody’s list the boxers they like. He always made for an entertaining fight and a lot of people say they almost revered him as a god in his prime.

Great list, Rummy. Please do the top 5 notable wins for Ricky "The Hitman" Hatton next!

I was living in England for the 1st Razor Ruddock fight, and I remember listening to it live on the radio!

Hope all is well everyone, as well as can be in 2020. Thanks for all the cool boxing videos Rum 😊👍

I still watched it all either way I can’t get enough rummy!!!!

Another fantastic video Rummy!

My No.1 boxer to rewatch. The fights sometimes look like a movie fights with that power, especially the 15 fights or so.

Five great picks and in really good order

Great video!

You do an excellent job. Thank you 👍

Great video to start my day! Ali and tyson are my favorite heavyweights of all time!💯

Idk why but I love eating and watching this channel

Great countdown !! And also great channel !! Congrats !!

Thank you for sharing this amazing video💘💘💘

Rummy’s the best! Thanks for this great video. There are so many great fighters. would love see these breakdown done by you (JC Chavez, Tommy Hearns, Roy Jones, Jr., Duran, etc,). Keep them coming👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Awesome work Rummy. 1. Michael Spinks - (he was still the undefeated lineal champ and Tyson was recognized as the lineal champ after this) 2. Tony "TNT" Tucker - (IMHO Tony Tucker was the best heavyweight Tyson beat in his career. The version of Tucker that fought Tyson gives most heavyweights a tough. Unfortunately Tucker fail into the evil of coke and that would destroy the rest of Tucker's career) 3. Larry Holmes - (same premise as you Rummy, Mike Tyson was the only fighter with the speed and power to catch Holmes and this was the only time Holmes was stopped in his 30 year career) 4. Trevor Berbeck - (Berbeck was known to have a good chin and decent skills and Mike destroyed him with ease and this was Tyson's first title shot 4 months and some change after his 20th birthday) 5. Frank Bruno II - (there was talk of Bruno getting a rematch with Tyson in 1989 because Bruno had done better against Tyson than anyone predicted and at the time as a 15 year old I laughed and said it would be a waste of time. I must say I would've laughed even harder and probably called you every loser in the book if you'd told me after Tyson beat Bruno that first there would be a rematch, it would be 7 years later and Bruno would be the champion. I'm not sure how many people watching knew this was a rematch. Tyson looked devastating in this fight, destroying Bruno and winning back a portion of the heavyweight title)

Nice! I particularly loved his bout with James Tillis. His performance in that was poetry, and Tillis was one of the few worthy opponents he had then. Awesome fight!

Mike's toughest opponent was his back... Spinal.

Great work as always Rummy. 🖒

I love how the naysayers dismiss a prime Tyson nowadays. The man was a machine back then.

Best boxing channel love your videos

Rumsfeld most notable incorrect predictions. That’s the video I need.

Tony Tucker was a beast he last twelves round whit prime tyson that was a great match and last twelves round whit prime lennox Lewis too

Golota and Bruno 1 shouldn't have been picked but they are honorable mentions in my book

Nice vid!

From italy greetings to rummy thank you for your work thank you really

Love these videos. Keep it up 👍

A lot of people claim Tyson was "overrated," but he spent his prime-years in the slammer so it's hard to gauge how good he _could_ have been. We never got to see Tyson against Mercer, Morrison, Moorer, Bowe, McCall, or Foreman. Having some of those names on his resume would have gone a long-way. I think Riddick Bowe would have had his lunch, but the rest of those guys I think a *prime* Mike Tyson could have beaten. I think he would have easily beaten Buster Douglas in a rematch as well. There is no shame to losing to Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis. Those are two of the greatest of all-time and they both lost to guys not even on Tyson's level. Lennox Lewis got put on his ass TWICE with guys not as good as Tyson. So I think the whole "overrated" deal is a misnomer. In his prime, a focused Mike Tyson was the most-dangerous fighter that ever stepped in the ring. Not-focused Tyson..............yeah he can be beat.

That LH win really looks a lot better now once you’ve put the context to it

Rummy, I can't wait to see your assessment of Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr

James "Bonecrusher" Smith put on a decent performance with the "prime" Mike Tyson. James was a good 12 years Mike's senior. Anyone who went the distance with "Prime Mike" must be considered to have some skill and talent. Smith failed to really go after Mike and played a very defensive fight. How many could even do that at that time?

Great video. I’m not sure what fight I would replace but I would have to put the Biggs fight in there. If you remember that was one of the most anticipated fights of Mike’s “first” career. Biggs was actually favoured by many to win. Larry Merchent included. What a fun series this could be! Would love to see a Marvelous Marvin one. He had so many it would definitely be a tough list to make! Thank you!

Liked while the ads still played, rummy is a Legend

All my 5 favorites in Rummy's top 5 ...

Nice Video rummy 💪❤️

“Actually he was cwying in there.... making women like gestures” 😂

Another great one Rummy Keep up the good work.Here is my top 5 5. vs Bota (ugly win but a viral one, return ) 1999 4.Mitch Green 1986 ( make him more popular , they had a beef and Mike came out on top) 3.vs Peter McNealy (return !) 2. vs Tony TNT Tucker (great fight against a smooth operator in the face of Tucker) 1. VS Trevor Berbick (not only becoming champion but also gain revenge for Ali ) 1986

Great video, Rummy. I would have thrown in the Marvis Frazier knockdown as well.

Amazing comments, great job man :)

Like Ali, Tyson is a global name, remembered forever.

I'm subscribed to this channel a few years now and I like rummys voice when talking about any boxer dead or alive and he knows what he's talking about aswell.I'm surprised rummy doesn't have at least 10,000000 subscribers which I find abit strange.Keep up the good work rummy and don't listen to haters,every successful channel has haters so remember the more haters you have the more successful you are becoming.So here's to the Haters.. ...........

🤜 👊🏽 IRON MIKE TYSON 👊🏽 🤛

First Bruno fight was 5 rounds and hard fought. Tyson even got hurt and could have been in trouble at one point. In the rematch he was facing an improved world champion Frank Bruno and completely dominated him within 3. Unpopular opinion but this may have been the best Tyson ever was.

As always great work Rummy.As you say there are other fights that could have made your list. Tyson vs Ruddock II,vs Botha (great one-punch finish by Tyson) vs Thomas (great combination punching by Tyson ) , vs Tubbs (another great one-punch finish) and vs Biggs ( a clinic in cold-blooded destruction ). Apart from Muhammad Ali, Tyson has to be the most naturally gifted fighter in heavyweight history.

Nice video

Yes!!! 😁😁😁😊😊 "Finally! It's time!!!"-UFC Announcer Voice.

My top 5 1. Michael Spinks 2. Larry Holmes 3. Trevor Berbick 4. Tony Tubbs 5. Pinklon Thomas

100% Accurate To Me, Couldn't find a single difference in my opinion. If Tyson Stayed Focused with Rooney throughout His career, I believe His Reign would have been a much more spectacular story/Legacy ! I believe that most would believe me that Tyson's Peek-a-boo style left him right after the Spinks fight where as, He was in His top form as a Champion. As soon as King, His serious sexual / Marriage troubles, Prison/rape conviction , drug use, depression, religion/racism influences, distracted Tyson from His Original Boxing style and Concentration and Confidence and Character. I mean lets face it, He lost those things after leaving Rooney. Boxing / Fighting more dirty when frustrated, Like a Street Brawler & Flat footed. That Bouncing Menace / Pep in His step of confidence and character was Gone, Gone with Cus... & Gone with Rooney. Everything about Tyson had changed except for that Physical power he had Dynamite in Both hands. One more thing I would like to respectively say: I think Mike Tyson Had the potential to be the Greatest of ALL TIME.

Legend

1. Michael Spinks 2. Trevor Berbick 3. Frank Bruno 1996 4. Larry Holmes 5. Jesse Ferguson, Razor Rudduck and Tony Tucker

Absolute box office!

Going by this Iconic platform Rummys Corner, who else agree that without doubt Iron Mike is the best coming with excitement and Intrigue since Ali!

Totally agree.
