Yup.. I keep hoping there's another boxer (preferably heavyweight) that can replicate Mike's savage style.

@@SadDad01 I don't think there ever will be. In terms of speed and athletics mixed together, Mike Tyson will always be the goat. I think if Tyson maintained his speed and accuracy throughout his entire career, he might have gone down as the greatest boxer of all time. He's still one of my favorites

​@@michaelloughrie5519I think Tyson got knocked out in the fight just before this one.

@@giuffre714 Yes, this was after the Douglas upset. I always believed that in a rematch Tyson would have gotten an early stoppage. It was a bad night for Tyson who underestimated someone who was in their prime and pretty solid, and he paid the price.

@@michaelloughrie5519 Yes, and in Buster's very next fight Holyfield stopped him in 3.😀

Yeah but he's also a convicted rapist so...

@@mikeyt3784 He did his prison sentence for that. That was a terrible thing he did, without a doubt. There is no excuse for that action.

@@mikeyt3784 She also accused another boyfriend of the same thing,she was just after Mikes money.

​@@philb.1502he was defended by a tax lawyer.

No he didn’t

The loss of Jimmy Jacobs had a FAR greater impact on Tyson's career than either Rooney or D'Amato. The cracks really began to show with Jacobs not there in his life to guide him.

He was fighting bums in the 80s

exactly, Tyson wasn't jabbing or slipping. He landed that big overhand, but overall, definitely, the decline had begun.

I honestly think a lot of it was just aging too. I mean he was still young here, like 23-24, but there's still a difference between being 23-24 and being 19-20, when Mike was on the come-up. When I was 23-24 i felt great. When i was 19 i swear i was damn near invincible lol.

​@@donjohnson3888I find it hard to believe that Tyson's legs started going at this early stage. We would expect them to hold out to at least his late 20s. Changing trainers, and too many distractions outside the ring I imagine was what was going on at this stage. After prison release is different, he was slipping by the minute.

@@marshallwayne-uf4pq yes!

Tyson is overrated. He lost against all the ATG he fought

@@haroldlujahmuzik213 Of course and i can't beat an elite professional boxer that is 30 kilograms more than me and who is training and competing in the highest level since he was 13 years old. I am just stating the FACT that he is overrated and you are proving me right by your comment. "If Cus dont die he don't lose" is the definition of asinine statement. Mike Tyson had a very physically demanding style of boxing that required huge amounts of athleticism and energy that only a very young athlete could have but it is extremely effective especially against less experienced boxers. This is why he was devastating in the early part of his career when he was facing low competition or immature boxers but when he entered the latter part and was starting fighting elite and experienced boxers 1) he couldn't continue fighting with the same extremely physically demanding way 2) his opponents were experienced enough to know how to neutralize it The result was that on one hand he lost all his latter important fights and on the other hand ironically he has the record for the youngest heavyweight champion of all time. You will start and recognize the patterns when you look for the previous holder of the record (Floyd Patterson) who under the same coach (Cus) won the same record but also lost against many all time greats.

@@haroldlujahmuzik213 Concluding Cus could train pocket size heavyweights to be very effective against low competition and while they are still young but this recipe could get them only there. The classic heavyweight champions that reach their primes in their middle thirties like Lennox Lewis ,Evander Holyfield, Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston etc could beat them fairly easy. Once again i am not calling him overrated comparing him with me or an average boxer but comparing him to the best of the best cause some ignorant people think he is the best heavyweight of all times.

@@haroldlujahmuzik213 Also in his defence his technique was impeccable as he would say but styles make fights.

@@skotiskillerHe would have beaten both those guys in his prime.

Definitely! Well put….,Likewise, I always saw him as a perpetually loaded spring. His technique generates the punching equivalent of nuclear fusion.

Yes, the Peek-a-boo style.

If you watch the way young George Foreman would hit guys it’s similar but different. Tyson was tight and moved side to side, while Foreman threw all his body weight into every punch he threw, even knocking himself off balance to put even more power into the punches. 2 different legends generating near superhuman power in 2 rather similar ways.

If it was about technique... Then everybody would have adopted it... It's more about genetics aided by technique

Yeah but the disadvantage is that you’re moving more, spending more energy for both the punches and the movement needed to change body position onto the next punch. That’s why boxers like Ali didn’t use this style, I think.

Kevin Rooney, a former fighter, Teddy atlas was the best trainer but Mike messed the relationship up by treating teddy's daughter badly, Teddy actually put a gun to Mike's head. There's a bit of boxing knowledge for you as trivial as it is, hahahaha. Teddy was a no nonsense trainer and a very fine one to, not saying Rooney wasn't good but hey.

He was 23...

@@ThehulkGreen TEDDY ATLAS WAS A PIECE OF SHIITE WHO PULLED A GUN ON MIKE WHEN HE WAS A KID!! Ppl wonder why he grew up f’d up. Everyone who was a adult to him did him dirty.

I believe it was Teddy Atlas, Kevin Rooney and thw final person from the D'AMATO team is Jay Bright. Jay was present when Cus' was still alive. He assisted Mike during the 90's.

@@ThehulkGreen -teddy was trash as fuck😂 -Literally all his fighters left him he had no legit elite tier built from scratch on his own pro champions/elites -pulled a gun on a 14 yr old so really he didnt even train mike for any of his pro career

@@colderbeer 😂😂

Colderbeer needs to stop drinking so much beer. It is effecting his feeble mind-what’s left of it…

Yeah & far too many consider Mike as a thug in my opinion he ALWAYS showed true consideration for his opponents whatever anyone thinks he was THE GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT EVER.

@@davidmorland4046 CONVICTED RAPIST. How much consideration does that show?

That announcer needs his eyes tested!

Foreman was not scared of Mike. He was just being humble. He even said he was scared of Fraizer. Foreman even wanted to fight Tyson in his 40's.

Foreman didn't wanna fight Tyson Bowe or Lewis and I can't blame him

No tf he didn't. Big George Foreman would've knocked Mike out if they fought during his comeback.

@@theblackmamba8686 Mike was too active and moved too much for George. There's no universe in which 86-88 Tyson loses to old George Foreman. Look what happened when they both fought Alex Stewart 🤣😂

@@obama7828 Mike couldn't do that for more than 5 rounds. He'd tire out by the 6th and get knocked out. Styles make fights and look at how Big George dominated Frazier who had a similar style to Tyson. The only way that Frazier and Tyson could fight is by coming forwards swarming. And George's style is perfect for countering that by not letting them come forwards with a stiff jab and uppercuts. And Big George had great chin incase he got hit by Mike. Do your research for yourself and look up who'd win between Big George and Mike an 95% of the stuff you would find would say the same thing I said. Styles make fights and George's style is perfect for countering Mike's

@@matthewnikitas2904 lol better than sack of $hit.

I know what it feels like. I was knocked cold by a piece of steel bar hitting me in the head when I was 19, and it's "lights out....lights back on...WTF happened and why don't I recognize where I am?" There's not even pain at first, it's a sick feeling, disorientation, like vertigo. Pain comes a bit later.

I don't think he felt anything. Lewis was asked "what goes through your head at that moment ?" He said "When you get knocked out ? Nothing !"😂

Open up your eyes.....this was a totally fixed fight.

@@colderbeer Thanks - best laugh I’ve had this week.

Burt Sugar and Teddy Atlas wrote a book ranking all boxers, Tyson was #100

Yep. If it had been the jaw, Tillman would’ve been dining on soup for six months.

PROOF IT WAS FIXED READ BETWEEN THE LINES

Same as 1:59 off of the break-up. Mike almost walked into one but he hit him with a wicked body shot just before, taking away the power and trajectory of the punch

i gotta check up on bro today, looking for a vid of him currently. That was brutal

By definition, a concussion like that is brain damage. Whether it turns into a degenerative condition or not is harder to predict. But a depressing percentage of boxers turn into babbling vegetables later in life.

@@colderbeer 3:06 that’s clearly fixed 😅

@@colderbeer Yeah, definitely a fixed fight as long as you’re willing to believe that Tillman was willing to take a massive punch to his temple that could have given him a concussion.

Low blows too. But then again, he was hit by forearms elbows and low blows himself.
