Amazing times 👍👍
I believe Mike sacrificed the bass in his voice for extra hit power
this comment is literally on every fucking video about mike tyson just stop
j, A sacrifice that didn’t help much with Buster Douglas.
If you think about it it makes sense. You’re taught to exhale when you hit. Listen to him breathe every time he hits. Realize he has done that over a million times. Throat shredded
@@prod.rhodamine Truth
Just like Skill points distribution in an rpg game
People really do forget how intellectual Mike was in that ring, a technical animal.
@anotherstimualting comment....no, it would have been carnage. Lewis was no where near ready to take on Iron Mike at that time. @thegooners11....I was ready to dismiss your comment but off the back of what I’ve just said, it’s prob true that Mike peaked early. Not his fault of course, but there are many fighters that beat Mike ONLY because he was on the other side of his ‘early’ peak.
They don’t give a fuck
@Another stimulating comment The greats always make it look easy. Don't kid yourself there were animals back in the day to.
@TheGooners11 Most never peek at all. Had he not lost his manager I think he would have not fallen into so many of the traps of fame and fortune, but I guess we will never know.
@TJ McGregor
Lol ikr. I seen bunch of fighters masters and experts in CZcams comment section.
Mike was so shy and quiet back then. It sounds more like he’s interviewing Michael Jackson than Mike Tyson
@THE GIFTED POET There's something very special about black people with the first name Michael...Jordan, Tyson, Jackson all world famous and known any where on the planet earth and arguable the greatest practitioners of each of their specific fields. Brings a new meaning to the phrase, "I wanna be like Mike"
ya, MJ in disguise !😂
He put it on, to sell himself to white middle America until he imploded
Balkan Wolf He doesn’t sound anything like Michael Jackson
Olaf Santos ?
The fact that this man spoke like a kid who gets bullied at school but was the most ferocious warrior in the world made him the most interesting man in the world
He was abused and bullied hard as a kid growing up.
Such a poetic contradiction. You can't make this stuff up
Just think you call him to complain about something and hearing his boyish feminine voice you say to him to get out ,becouse you wanted to teach him a lesson...
he doesnt speak like no kid...listen dude
just like Anderson silva
When people laugh and Mike doesn't, thats scary.
@AllAroundKeenSagittariusAthleteWorker "fucking wimp" he typed from his mother's home computer
@AllAroundKeenSagittariusAthleteWorker LMFAO COMING FROM A NAME LIKE THAT! What are you? A 38 year old single mom?
It’s not
@KonicavaBR exactly. You articulated very well what's happening in this video. You can even hear some nervous giggle from the host and audience. When he lost his cool, everyone was scared including his bodyguards. Only idiots kept laughing until they began crying. Watch a video by Jamie Foxx at a party with Mike. This man was an animal.
@KonicavaBR I hope and pray things work out for you and your family. Everyone deserves peace and security. You certainly had it rough.

Rofl.
Cavett was a great guy. Every interview was 100% real human interaction. Also, no attempts at embarrassing his guests with personal questions about their failures and shortcomings.

It’s really an incredible sentiment that maybe is really a common idea in the fighting world, but for someone who knows very little about the subject, it changes everything.
@@jon4715 yeah right, and he said that he watched for opponents arms, when i boxed i would sometimes watched opponents legs because all punching power is coming from legs
What about a head-bud ?
@@magnacz what about it? it is not allowed, so I am not worried about that, it is very hard to avoid when you are in certain situations, so best choice is not to think about It at all, it is going to affect your style of boxing, footwork, moving if u looking for that, it is better to take it and ref gona take a point from him, the round is yours...
Tyson seemed like a happier and healthier person when he had a good father figure in his life - shocker.
To who?? Nobody ever says that when don’t make back home to their kids. Just love and a sense of being can do wonders for any kids. You play your games, we know the truth.
Gave him focus and drive. After he left all the parasites came in brought about distractions and what not. Legend regardless
@@TheSakufighter agreed
People call others their friends and family when in reality those are holding them back in life.
Tyson is so humble and shy at this point in his life.
it feels wierd. i was just watching his video of biting the dudes ear
shy? i think he was very confident...i think he he was only humble here
@@yoool7137 nah, he was shy because it was one of his first big TV appearances.
Humble? Like when he threatened to eat the opponents children humble? Base your impressions on more than just one 2 minute clip lol

Holy angels have very loud voices like thunder
There's video on CZcams of him in the cat skills doing this incredible exercise where he's laid out on his back and lifting everything but his toes and the back of his head. He's lifting and then rolling his neck. He did it for like 1 to 2 minutes just up and down.
Really hard to describe but incredible to see.
@@contactkeithstack neck bridges*
He sounds like a shy kid🤣 this mans a legend
Well maybe because he kid on this video :) Kid with huge muscles 💪.
Mike Tyson was shy, he is an introvert
, but over the years he overcame his shyness.
@@ryandees5158 He smoke a ton of weed and read lots of books.
The way he speaks, shows a tender soul that was hardened by experience. He didn't want to fight, he simply had to. So proud of the calm, wise man he grew to become.
Agreed. And he is not finished yet !
he was just as calm in his youth though
@@BOZ_11 He always spoke this way and that's my point: a young guy who spoke in an effete way would have been a prime target for bullies and predators in his childhood environment. So, he became hardened by these early formative experiences as a means to protect himself. Mike was, in his own words, "crazy" for most of his youth and adult life, he faced countless setbacks and only in old age does it seem that he has made peace with his bad experiences. Thanks for reading 😅
@@KM-mt5gx That's a good point. His youth afected him, that's for sure. The interesting thing about this guy is that he had some kind of fragility, cobered by brutality. He was both. And yeah, he matured a lot during this years. Thank you for writing! ^^

Until he met Headbutt Holyfield
@• RAW ĐæŢæ headbutts are hard to defend against anyway because in order for someone to headbutt you they have to be extremely close to you... it's not like a jab you could see coming.

Mike was a pro at muggings back in Brooklyn, NY. He got personal here.

@@williamlane9844 I'm not putting Mike down. I was stating a fact. And there's no such thing as "bad" karma. There's just Karma, karma is the law of cause and effect.

Me too, loved the chemistry between Dick Cavett and Mike Tyson. They both make it look effortless, but it takes character and people skills to do this. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 18th December 2023.
I love that, Mike can see he's embarrassed him, he takes a moment then goes in for the hug. It's hard to understand how he could dominate in the ring so much when his real nature was clearly so humble and friendly
Not hard to see at all. Those who are feared get used to comforting others by softening their voice etc.
@Anderson Cooper probably ego and arrogance towards competitors there would be no purpose in being intimidating to interviewers
Because you have been given false ideas, and you have no clue what training is. Trained women can beat crap out of those men who have unfriendly aggressive manners...
Humble and friendly??? let's gather ourselves a moment shall we? First, you're not from Brooklyn and never heard any of the stories about Mike when he was an upcoming fighter still training in Brooklyn, NY. EDIT: I posted what Mike used to do as part of his training when walking the neighborhood. But in today's climate, I might open myself up to a lawsuit or worse. NOT a humble and friendly guy. But I will say he's highly intelligent. Much more so than people will ever give him credit for.
Mike was a very well trained boxer. And he was trained to use his intimidation as a advantage in the ring. Its all part of a performance of being a champ.
Mike was only 20 in this vid damn💪🏼

The best
unlike Ellen Degeneres
Even today I can't see anyone come close in being better or on par with Dick Cavett.
He was phenomenal
Mike Tyson even as a very young man was very articulate, analytical, and philosophical. A deep thinker. He was obviously well read and a great student with some great teachers.
He's a lot like Bruce Lee in that sense: both are known for being total legit badasses, but both were very sensitive, intellectual and profound, deep thinkers- almost too much so for this world.
He has a large head ....big brain in side
Yeah of course the biggest fighters are the smartest people because you have to think tactical
@@jacobhartmann1050Bruce Lee wasn't proved fighter as he didn't have a career of a fighter. But he was proved kung fu teacher and he was a rather legit actor of martial arts at the time. I think it is a mistake to put such people on the same level of the great fighters of sport like Mike Tyson who became famous by real fights and not movies like Bruce Lee.
"If someone is bigger and stronger than you, you drop a television on top of his head from on top of the roof"
-- PhD Mike Tyson
A Commenter Mike Is a true student of the game. He should probably get an honorary history/philosophy PhD. He's a very smart dude. I recommend his podcast Hotboxin with Mike Tyson if you haven't seen already.
"What's the point? Nobody's gonna mug you like that."
Ahead of his time.
As a teenager he would mug grown men. Imagine how bruising that would be to the ego of the muggee? (victim).
The Good Fight
martial arts instructor: “now come at me again but hold the knife like this... no like this”

Boxing is probably the second most legit fighting forms in the world. UFC has proven most martial arts to be border line psuedo science and one of the most basic fighting forms boxing is probably still one of the best fighting techniques in UFC and self defense in general.
@@anthonygordon9483 Making fun of the dude's wonky aikido. I was a pro MMA fighter for six years. I am aware of and agree with the utility of boxing. I have trained in it extensively. It is one of the core four along with wrestling, BJJ, and Muay Thai.
You can tell he actually has so much to say. He’s a reflective person. And a true champion.
I've never seen Tyson so calm he looks so gentle with the guy very wholesome
Dick had a wonderful attitude. He really did. I loved the way he interacted with all of his guests with respect.
And a very intelligent guy, the way he threw interesting questions, not being scared to do it but also not trying to be overly nice. I think this might be the best interview of Mike I've watched.
Lol watch his Eddie Murphy interview. You'll definitely rethink this statement afterwards.
Tru brother, i also enjoyed all his stuff
@nerdtronis141 So I'm hateful for thinking Dick was wrong for calling Eddie Murphy the n-word to his face on national television?
@nerdtronis141 I don't hate Dick. But people should be held accountable for their actions.

Now is all perverted Rightaway some dirty thoughts 💭
Tyson is a very intellectual person
@joe blogs Mike only had his coach he was basically his dad when he passed he spiraled downhill everyone took advantage of him.
Regardless dont judge you dont know him.
joe blogs it is often genius that is tormented he was young and made some mistakes but there is no mistaking the intellect that he had. Seeing a young Mike here being so soft spoken is surreal. He was such a killer.
For real
@joe blogs - If you think high intellect protects you from the possibility of self-destructive behaviours, then might I politely suggest, that you are not of high intellect.
david winbag said no one ever.
😂
Mike was and still is an amazing man. We are blessed to have him in our lifetime.
Mike is so disarming and thoughtful. It's a surprise to many.
Tyson really did look like a force of nature. Funny thing is even heavyweights who outweigh him do not have the look of power he had.
Because he was short in comparison to most.
His reach was that much shorter the punch came 2x fast
He was stockier and honestly on loads of steroids it looks like.
TheTaterTotP80 I don’t think he was on steroids, he has a naturally wide frame and if you look at his highlights when he was 15-16 he was already super muscular

This is why Tyson is so fascinating to me. Within a week of becoming the youngest heavyweight champ in history at age 20, he sits for a televised interview with Dick Cavett, known for his intellectualism. Outside of Muhammad Ali, who would do that?
"If you are calm and relaxed enough, you can see everything, you can every twitch of his muscle." Probably a simple fact to boxers, and far be it from me to take the crown from Muhammed Ali, but how truly exceptional was this man?
I'm just getting into Dick Cavett interviews and the fact is this style of interview doesn't exist these days. He is brilliant at making his guests feel right at home no matter who the celebrity is.

I can't believe Tyson has such a soothing voice😂
I like the pace of this conversation. Not so artificial and attention seeking like the talk shows nowadays... 👍🏼
Right? Very paced and laid back. Today it's all about flashing lights, high energy, and trying to rapid-fire jokes.
The moment where Tyson says that nobody would grab you like that if they were mugging you, and then he hugs Cavett after the crowd's reaction and you could see that Cavett was a little embarrassed when Tyson said that, that moment really shows Tyson's true character. He recognized that Cavett was a little embarrassed and gave the man a big hug right there to make him feel better.
I genuinely enjoyed this interview. I don’t think Mike liked disingenuous people; that’s why it went so well, because Dick was not a phoney put-on type guy. I have seen Mike in interviews where the interviewer was outright afraid of him; in one, he told the woman not to utter another word; and she didn’t. In others, he verbally ko’d the guy; you thought he was going to get up and feed him his teeth. He didn’t appreciate, nor did he put up with, being talked down to or patronized. This interview is how he was when he liked and respected someone.
So basically if you don't brown nose him he'll threaten you with violence?
@@johnnylebay2059 did you not read anything in the comment? He doesn’t like interviewers trying to be rude, there’s more then just being nice and being rude
Tyson has been a public figure for so incredibly long and he just gets better with age. A legend.
The most vital piece of this entire interview is Mike talking about fear and being afraid of losing / his opponent beating and how controlling that fear/fire is what prepares him mentally for every fight. 90% mental, 10% physical. Controlling emotions. Every fight. A genius we won’t see the likes of in this lifetime…
It's kind of adorable how soft spoken and physically affectionate Tyson is
Tyson is one complex guy.
Mike Tyson is a real man explaining boxing and his boxing technique openly without being scared of his enemies....what a real man!!!!
It seems nobody dislikes Mike Tyson and honestly there's every reason to admire and love this man. He came on the boxing scene and made fans out of people who weren't even boxing fans (like myself) with his amazing speed and ferociousness never seen before and I doubt we will ever see it again. Now in his older age his philosophical views and raw honesty once again take us by surprise and fills us with excited hope. He is my most beloved and favorite celebrity...
Love you Iron Mike.

Karate, aikido,even taekwondo,they teach these kooky leverage tricks,with the counters to wrist grabs. I couldn't stand that part when I was in taekwondo way back in the day. I knew deep down that it was nothing more than a kooky lil trick designed to give false confidence. I knew it was utter quackery amongst the realms of Real World Street Fighting knowledge,skill, and abilities. Even before joining tkd, I remember a friend referring to that type of stuff as "Let Me", as in, Let Me show you my nice cute trick that I could use on you if you just kindly comply with me,and only just grab my wrists. I agreed with what he was saying, and I naturally felt the same way,but I joined tkd for the sake of having a healthy fitness outlet, and to show off my natural kicking abilities.

You have to go. You understand don't you?
He still is
Mike Tyson always holds a special place in my heart. I met him once and he was very humble. I am so happy to see him be able to rebuild his life after boxing. I love you my dear friend
If Don King hadn't of dug his teeth into him corrupting his mind. He would've finished career undefeated.
Corrupted his mind, how?
Yeah I wanna know too
Facts
thats cap
@@chriso8193 He took advantage of a young man with a lot of money, who had lost his father figure.
Getting a hug from and giving a hug to Mike Tyson is on my 'bucket list.'
I was never into boxing .. ever .. until I first saw Mike; there's something about him that is sincerely angelic.
Tyson was a force back in the older days with his old trainer. Speed with power and movement. Best pound for pound boxer.
He was devastating, not even in the top 5 pound for pound ever, probably not even top 10. Soon as he faced adversity in the ring his career was shit.
@@joshlewis575 when he faced greater adversity he was no longer in his prime, same thing happened to muhammad ali
You can see how gentle, and nearly affectionate Mike was. It's just his nature. What a juxtaposition to his fighting self. You can also see where that could get him into danger outside of the ring. What a tough balance to live being someone like him...
He's 20 here but there were so much wisdom in him already. Combine that with his skills and power, wow that's some scary man we're talking about.
The original team. Everything changed after the Spinks fight!
Just one more thing that was great about Dick Cavett and his show. He always treated his guests with respect. Love to see how well Mike and Dick got along.
I appreciate this kind of person. He is genuine.
Tyson’s boxing IQ is supreme, and to top it off with a iron physique and beast like reflexes. If cuzz was alive for a couple more years he could of been without a argument, the best to ever lace up.
Enrique Herrera The funeral and that sorry woman combined is what did the trick. She was a parasite.
@@Uncletoast52 That and the leech don king having him fire rooney
Dennis Bryan ...Correct, but don’t forget Robin Givens mother and psychopath Don King, the greediest and most manipulative punk of all time.
@Chris Bradley Agree
@Chris Bradley Have you seen a lot of Ali fights?
What an eloquent/philosopher/champion and the greatest boxer there ever will be.
What a nice guy Mike Tyson is. Calm, intelligent, shy in a really nice way, thinks before he speaks, great sense of humour, goes along with the daft interviewer's antics. A true gent!
"But what is the purpose? No one is going to hold you like this." Bullshido debunked in one sentence :D
That's actually grip fighting and used in wrong bjj ect. 🙄😒🤦♂️ humble yourself bro
@IMDb Video Games yes you are right,but Their is one move kinda close where you are in the guard and control both wrists to find a opening for ground and pound like putting their hand down while doing a elbow strike, I saw it demonstrated on a channel called fight perfect but their CZcams channel was taken down 😟
Bjørn Friborg BULLSHIDO!!!!!! 🙄
The point of the demonstration is to prove the principle of 'mechanics' in Aikido. It's like a Aikido 'party trick'. I did Aikido for only a short time in my teens but have used it several times to overpower people who have stepped up to fight me. It does work very well, but is not an offensive weapon at all. it is very much a defensive technique. If you think it is bullshido then a trip to a local Aikido school would be an eye opener indeed.
@@digdougedy We have Aikido guys who get embarrassed by BJJ white belts at my gym. Aikido has very little practical application and the lack of proper sparring and training against resistance makes it mostly horseshit.
"Absolute power corrupts absolutely." Here you see an uncorrupted Mike Tyson only hours after he became the champ...
Well placed quote right there.
He did get corrupted, though.
Look at Tyson.....just a kid with strong power.....but sooooo innocent in heart.....
he was so powerful considering he was only 5'7
@@lobsterwhisperer7932 He was 5'10/5'11 and the interviewer is 5'7.
Calm, humble, respectful and soft spoken. Mike was always a good guy at heart with an Iron fist. May God bless protect and guide him
How articulate and we'll spoken the young Mr Tyson was. What a champ!
"If it comes a time that I stop becoming afraid to fight or feeling nervous I won't fight anymore," WOW!!!! That's a great point on using your fears to motivate yourself.
Thats a real conversation.
Seems like a lost art nowadays.
The talk shows in the present are so different.
Thanks for posting this...real insight into a young Mike Tyson. Seemed quite genuine in disposition.
Bless Mike Tyson. Such a gentle soul on the inside. Truly a great man.
Mike was the definition of a gentle giant lol
Got to love Tyson, the 80's was full of the most impressive heavyweight talent boxing ever had and he went through them all quite easily. Great time in boxing and will likely never be repeated.
Heavyweight division is a joke now
80s was not that impressive in terms of HWs. Tyson, Bowe, Holyfield, Spinks, Holmes, that's about it in terms of superstars. Guys like Lennox, Mercer, and Morrison were just coming along in the late 80s, also an old George Foreman who didn't get in the title mix until the 90s, so overall I'd say the 80s was a decent era for Heavyweights but nothing compared to the 60s and 70s
The way they hug at the end is so nice☺️
The interviewer was good he put Tyson at ease!!
