I was at that fight. It was unplanned. We happened to be partying that weekend in AC and found out about the fight. We paid $500 for crappy balcony seats the day of the fight. The sound of that knockout was clear and loud from where I was sitting. I was in shock that you could hear that from so far away. Mike was definitely one of the greatest punchers of all time. I also remember a guy that had paid $1K for front row. He went to buy a hotdog and missed the whole fight. LoL
Shhhhhheeeeettttt I would too...imagine your dad being the guy who beat Ali in his prime??? Aside from that being a man who fought countless amounts of awesome fighters from an Era where guys didn't know how to duck fighters and 15 rounds were normal.
Marcus Frazier is a legend. "Standing in the shadow of Joe Frazier, to me it was like standing in the light.” Man, I have so much respect for that statement right there.
A light of defeat I mean the old man couldn't beat Tyson even on his best days Much love to Marvis beating bigger guys and very well could have been a title holder
@@hollokutya1315 he isn't a legend. his father was, but his son isn't. that's because he didn't do anything spectacular, though he was an underrated and fantastic fighter regardless with a very respectable record, especially with his only two losses to two legends
Agree , but had Mike Tyson had to Fight in the 1960's an 1970's where U had to go 15 rounds Mike Tyson would have melted against the Boxers of that Day , Tyson was Not a 15 round Fighter but a 10 round Knock Out Sniper -
Frazier’s son only lost to Mike Tyson and Larry Holmes top of the greatest heavyweights ever. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, he did amazing compared to most great athletes kids
Yeah. Also, I think he had issues with an eye injury which meant he had to move quickly if he was going to achieve anything. Others blame Smokin' Joe for changing his fighting style as a pro, which didn't suit him. But still, he beat some good names as a pro.
“Standing in the shadow of Joe Frazier, to me it was like standing in the light.” That is genuinely the most beautiful sentiment I have ever heard a son say about his father. Maybe instead of a boxer, he should have been a poet.
Yep. I was an 80’s kid and been watching that era of 80’s and 90’s Mike ever since. Unfortunately Cus passed and Tyson fell into the Don King network of horrible two-faced criminals and they ruined a vulnerable man.
I'm in the middle of watching all of his fights after i finished watching Muhammad Ali's fights a couple days ago. After Tyson I'm moving to Pernell "sweat pea" Whittaker. And one of my favorites who never ducked and fought everybody and either won or gave the other guy fits , Buddy Mcgirt...
Even though Tyson had his issues back then, to say wise words like "if my trainer and coach think I'm ready, then I will fight" instead of being big headed. Really says alot.
Cus was more than just a trainer to him. That was the closest thing to a father that Mike ever had. Cus didn't just train him. He raised Mike under his roof as well. That's where Mike learned respect.
"I never felt like I was standing in his shadow, I was standing in the light; my father was Smokin Joe Frazier." Paraphrased. That statement demonstrates an incredible perspective and humility.
Marvis Frazier had a very respectable career. He suffered terrible ko losses but he was in the ring with legitimate heavyweights and that's very difficult to do. His dad had more heart than anyone and was an all time great and Marvis showed the heart of a champ but came up short.
I find it incredible how mature Tyson was physically and mentally at 19, you can tell that his confidence came from how hard he worked, it never came off as cocky imo.. what an absolute legend. The precision, speed and the power is really astonishing.
When you have a mentor wise as Cus Di Amato it is normal!The kid grew up with him like hes son and this trainer/coach/mentor had a god given talent of creating CHARACTER cause before you achieve anything in life you have to got or develop the CHARACTER first unfortunatly most trainers dont know s$$$ about this field..
his confidence came from the streets. he beat up a grown man as a child for killing his pidgeon, after that the guy's from the neighborhood would bring guy's in to fight him. he was a monster when he met cus, he just gave him respect and boxing experience
People are missing the fact that Tyson had so much confidence and trust in his trainers that if they sent him into the ring he knew he would win. That’s a bond
I am also impressed by the father, who took the time to train and try with his son... and with marvellous results in my opinion. Theirs together is the biggest victory of man.
I love how aggressive Tyson was. He wasn’t just throwing wild punches around. He put all of his body and mind into each and every punch, and he could deliver them SO FAST. He knocked Frazier out cold with one blow and had already punched him in the face 3 more times by the time Frazier actually hit the ground.
Yeah, but you can't tell Howard Stern, and his ASSistant, and personal ass wipe Robin Quivers that. They called him retarded. Like to see them tell him that to his face.
5:30 Even in the adrenaline rush of the moment, Tyson still has the presence of mind and I believe the wisdom to say he follows the advice of his manager and trainer.
He never really stood a chance to equal his father. Smokin' Joe is a top 10 fighter of all time and beat the GOAT in his prime. There's no shame in trying. Got me choked up that interview at the end though, you can tell just how proud he was of his father and I'm sure Joe was just as proud of his son. Joe will always be my favorite fighter. The man is a hero in my hometown of Philly and he just had the biggest heart imaginable, that clearly rubbed off on his son.
Lol, he shoulda never snarled at Mike along with his father. They were looking down on Mike but Tyson settled the score anyway. This fight made that family an embarrassment.
Joe Frazier is older than his son only for 16 years and 9 months. Imagine becoming a father at that age. Back then, people matured way earlier than nowadays.
I love how aggressive Tyson was. He wasn’t just throwing wild punches around. He put all of his body and mind into each and every punch, and he could deliver them SO FAST.
Usually when watching other boxers fight, you kinda get the sense that the punches feel soft ( I know they are not), but with Mike it’s the exact opposite. There’s so much force in each strike.
I'm not in the shadow Joe Frazier, I'm in the light. Beautiful sentiment and absolutely true. Marvis had a great career by any measure. Lots of wins and his only two losses came from two hall of famers. He should be proud of his dad, and himself.
Agreed. Beautiful sentiment and by the sounds of it a good, happy man. So great to see people out there just... Being. Seems like he's doing all right in that interview. Hope he still is.

@@winniepeg2020 That, and that this Mike was stepping and controlling distance perfectly. Sadly, later he was only moving forward and being smothered,, but here you see him take steps back to create the correct distance for power... scary!
Tyson was given with insane power, jaw, speed and a desire to win. Being a heavyweight is not as easy as it seems, you must have a talent otherwise it is nearly impossible to win no matter how hard you train. Respect to Marvis 19-2 in the times with the most powerful and eager contenders. Fighting guys like Tyson and Holmes is not an easy task.
@ProTheGrammer It does not matter if he got knocked out in the 1-st or the 10-th round he stood there with probably the best heavyweight there has ever been
@@MrSinister718 He got punished for 10 rounds and still managed to knock him down after 1 eye closed and barely standing, so yeah he doesn't have a string jaw at all...
Imagine being knocked out by Tyson but instead of dropping to the floor you freeze up standing then fall in slow motion giving Tyson the chance to land 5 extra knock out blows ...
@@victorl416 I don't think the ref could have done anything. It's just one of those situations that are unavoidable because of how fast Tyson is. Also from his angle I don't think the ref saw the uppercut that knocked him out standing.
His hand position as he was going down is the fencing response, which is what your body does after you receive brain stem trauma in the process of a tremendous concussion. Bad news.
Kudos to Marvis for knowing when to hang up the gloves. Too many children of famous athletes, actors, etc think that because of their famous parents, they've got the skills too. It's almost never the case and Marvis went out with an exceptional record and dignity.
Padded record. Frazier wasn’t anywhere close to being ready to fight Larry Holmes who despite being 44-0 was slowing down a bit. The size difference and skill disparity was to wide a gap to make up. Fighting Tyson a few years later was an asinine mistake too. He was too inactive at times, too small, and didn’t fight enough quality fighters.
When Mike humbly and calmly said he was the best fighter in the world, I believed him. There were days, months, maybe longer periods of time that Tyson was the baddest man on the planet.
@@ghostbravo7127 it goes ali then mike Ali would have to tire him out cuz if they went blow for blow Ali better hope Mike had the respect to hold back but that’s how Ali fights he tires them out that’s how he wins but it goes ali then mike for heavy weight then of all time it goes Robinson Ali then mike
I remember watching this fight. All the announcers seemed to talk about before the fight was the relationship between Joe and Marvis. When they finally got around to mentioning Tyson it was like, "oh yeah, Marvis's opponent is one of the hot young heavyweight prospects. Somebody called Mike Tyson." I had never seen somebody get destroyed like that in a boxing match. By the end the only thing holding Frazier up were the ropes and Tyson's fists.
I'm glad the Fraziers have a healthy loving relationship, and that Marvin doesn't feel overshadowed by his father's legacy. And my god, Mike Tysons boxing is gorgeous, beautiful head movement as always and uppercuts to the moon!
6:11 Amazing to have Marvis Frazier's perspective that he was never standing in the shadow of his father Joe, it shows the love and respect he had for his father and allowed him to live very proud of his own achievements
Joe Frazier will always be one of the greatest.....and it looks like he was a good dad too. Probably my favorite fighter and boxing personality ever. Humble, tough and no nonsense or trashtalk.
This was the scariest I've ever seen a human. Mike literally hit him three times while he was unconscious standing up before he could even hit the floor and all three shots would knock most people out seperately
The sound Mike Tyson’s punches make is like no other professional boxer when he makes contact with his opponent, it has a sweet precise sound like witnessing the perfect golf swing. It’s a thing of beauty.
"One of the greatest of all time" ends up being scrutinized for its actual context whenever Tyson is dragged by boxing fans. He's my favorite boxer but I can't place him in a top ten when going by a lot of metrics such as professional record. I give him the benefit of the doubt that were it not for some career turns the wrong way that he could have retired better but that can be said for a lot of fighters who are not highly regarded today. He was unique and interesting and fun to watch but on top of that was also actually good enough to where it's not really highly argued when people regard him as a GOAT even if it's not technically true for all eras.
@@Magneticitist A lot of fighters had better careers, and were great for much longer. I think Tyson's magic was those first years where he destroyed all comers (including, unfortunately, Larry Holmes, who should have known better), up to the Douglas fight, which is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Everything went off the rails after that. He seems to be having a bit of a renaissance these days, with renewed appreciation of how he was at the beginning. The new Wise & Humble Mike persona is a good look for him. I suspect he's probably high a lot. That helps.
Right uppercut, jab to the face, right hook and left hook for goodnight. That speed was incredible and I literally had to slow it down to 0,25 to see the combo. Iron Mike is an instinctual beast. There's no though, just action and reaction.
Why would you feel bad for the man that put his son in that situation? Why wouldn’t you feel bad for the kid that got forced into the ring against a man he had no business being in the ring with? Joe Frazier was a good fighter but a terrible manager.
@@sg-yq8pm Agree. Tyson would sometimes forget that boxing is a sport and you are not supposed to die. I think Tyson said before his Lewis fight that he would "kill and eat Lewis's children". Not very sportsman like.
@@sg-yq8pm Wrong. People can actually die in the ring & have died in the ring. Tyson made you think he could literally kill anyone he was in the ring with. It was legit. Your comment only shows that you are ironically the stupid & nonsensical one by virtue of never having witnessed it live. If you had - you wouldn't have exposed yourself.
I feel for Frazier’s son. I’d be thinking-I didn’t beat Ali, why are you pissed off at me? An enraged Tyson at that point in his career is terrifying. I don’t care what Frazier said about his dad being in his corner and that he can’t lose, you’d be very intimidated even if you try your best to not show that on the outside. Scary as F!!!
@@MatthewSmith-uf6tr Joe beat Ali back in the day before Ali won in the rematch. Tyson went on a tear and basically attempted to murder people that had beat his idol. He basically took transferred agression from Joe and put it on Marvis even though Joe was just a humble nice guy. Tyson also tried to take Larry Holmes head off because of how he beat up on Ali late in his career.
I'll say this as a boxing trainer, it never hurts to take time developing a fighter, especially if they have youth on their side. As a trainer it's my duty to instill confidence and self-belief in my charge. He has to have the unshakable belief that he can beat his opponent whoever he is in that moment. Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton knew exactly what they were doing managing Tyson. Tyson only had 17 amateur fights before turning to the pro ranks. They had the money and clout to be able to secure him the "safe" opponents to build his record and confidence to eventually beat the top dogs, and it worked! The problem why contemporary fighters who appear to have all the tools don't succeed is that the investors in those fighters are looking for as quick a return on their investment. It's all financially driven.
Yes that is true, and it's also reflected in 80's music when record labels took time to properly develop their artists --- these days, it's all about banging out the dumbest generic shit and artists are thrown by the wayside and easily replaced
1:36 look at that movement. That's fucking unreal. Like a choreographed scene from a movie, but it's all instinct and reflex. Mike was easily one of the best boxers ever. No question.
Get out of here, he wasn't even in the top 1000. He was a bum. He failed every time he faced a real boxer. He lost to Buster Douglas? That isn't greatness,it mediocre. He had potential, he wasted it. Please tell me why you think a guy like Tyson who lost the title pretty quickly,was so great???
@@Cam-ej1cu If their were a definition of a fanboy with rose colored glasses making a guy who wasted most of his talent into an icon, he but he still clung to delusions , take a bow... 😂
"I'll fight anybody that my trainer puts me in with, because I'm confident that I can beat any fighter in the world". Ladies and gentlemen, Iron Mike Tyson 💪🏿
Anyone can knock anyone out in a fight. There’s been some hard hitting boxers through the years like George Foreman. I never saw anyone hit like Mike Tyson could, especially with either hand. He’s the most impressive slugger I’ve ever seen climb in the ring.
Mike was always an open wound. The ring is where he tried to heal. When Frazier's guided life and loving relationship with his father invaded Mike's world, it kept spilling salt on that open wound. Every second it continued was unbearable and disrespectful pain for Mike. Questions every person without a loving parent asks, kept coming up. Unanswered questions. Questions you bury by winning in Life and just forget. Frazier had to just rub it in my face. Making my FIGHT his personal f$% diary. Showcasing some ideal fairy tale about family. I earned mine, by myself. In hell, through pain, blood, and sweat everyday since I was born. You'll never know what it's about or what it's like inside but I'll give you a glimpse with my BEASTMODE! Mike is my Hero! Love the man, the legend, and his continued triumphs against all odds.

Tyson doesnt not have a jaw. Losing to a bum like Buster Douglas proved that.
@@MrSinister718 He got punished for 10 rounds and still managed to knock him down after 1 eye closed and barely standing, so yeah he doesn't have a string jaw at all...
Imagine being knocked out by Tyson but instead of dropping to the floor you freeze up standing then fall in slow motion giving Tyson the chance to land 5 extra knock out blows ...
Haha! Good comment
Why bother having a referee?
@@victorl416 I don't think the ref could have done anything. It's just one of those situations that are unavoidable because of how fast Tyson is. Also from his angle I don't think the ref saw the uppercut that knocked him out standing.
His hand position as he was going down is the fencing response, which is what your body does after you receive brain stem trauma in the process of a tremendous concussion. Bad news.
Bye bye brain activity
Amazing perspective from Frazier at the end. He knows hes lucky to have the support and father he did.
I love seeing focus and determination at that phenomenal level.
Kudos to Marvis for knowing when to hang up the gloves. Too many children of famous athletes, actors, etc think that because of their famous parents, they've got the skills too. It's almost never the case and Marvis went out with an exceptional record and dignity.
Yes true especially when you marry a woman or impregnate one with inferior athletic and maybe intellectual genetics
Actually, Tyson convinced him.
marvis truly is a good fighter. if only he wasn't born in the era of Mike it would be a different outcome.
Padded record. Frazier wasn’t anywhere close to being ready to fight Larry Holmes who despite being 44-0 was slowing down a bit. The size difference and skill disparity was to wide a gap to make up. Fighting Tyson a few years later was an asinine mistake too. He was too inactive at times, too small, and didn’t fight enough quality fighters.
Ahem sons of Jack*e Ch*n and W*ll Sm*th
When Mike humbly and calmly said he was the best fighter in the world, I believed him. There were days, months, maybe longer periods of time that Tyson was the baddest man on the planet.
he still is.
Years
When it comes to Heavyweights, most agree that it goes Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Mike Tyson.
That is a given.. undoubtedly the truth
@@ghostbravo7127 it goes ali then mike Ali would have to tire him out cuz if they went blow for blow Ali better hope Mike had the respect to hold back but that’s how Ali fights he tires them out that’s how he wins but it goes ali then mike for heavy weight then of all time it goes Robinson Ali then mike
I have a lot of respect for Marvis, he went into those fights with heart and gave it his all 💯
Thank you bro
I remember watching this fight. All the announcers seemed to talk about before the fight was the relationship between Joe and Marvis. When they finally got around to mentioning Tyson it was like, "oh yeah, Marvis's opponent is one of the hot young heavyweight prospects. Somebody called Mike Tyson." I had never seen somebody get destroyed like that in a boxing match. By the end the only thing holding Frazier up were the ropes and Tyson's fists.
lmao
@@TDSheppard1 that's hilarious 😂
It was a terrible miss-match and Joe Frazier should not have put Marvis in with either Tyson or Holmes.
The last part of your statement 😂😂😂😅😅😅. Mike hit him 4 or more shots while he was out on his feet 😬😬😬
🤣🤣💀
It’s crazy to see the respect that Tyson shows towards his trainers and coaches. Most people with egos like his lose all respect for authority.
@David Elbourne yeah also his trainers literally treated him like family too.
I'm glad the Fraziers have a healthy loving relationship, and that Marvin doesn't feel overshadowed by his father's legacy. And my god, Mike Tysons boxing is gorgeous, beautiful head movement as always and uppercuts to the moon!
That fight against Joe Frazier's son, you could hear the impact 🤧🥴🤯.
Mike Tyson's punches are *BRUTAL* 🥊😵😴
One of the most terrifying knockouts in boxing history.
His dad fed him to the Lion king !
“My dad is Smokin Joe Frazier.” Man I wish I could say that.
I am mike tyson, man I wish I could say that
Lol but I love to say he got 1-2 smoked which his dad would been in the ring
Excellent come again route to the truth.I like that.
He knocked him unconscious, conscious, and unconscious in one combo. Damn.
one of the most terrifying and beautiful knockouts..in all of fight sports history...
6:11 Amazing to have Marvis Frazier's perspective that he was never standing in the shadow of his father Joe, it shows the love and respect he had for his father and allowed him to live very proud of his own achievements
Man Marvis has such a healthy and positive outlook on things. That's a VERY admirable quality, much more so than boxing skills IMO...
Oh please they was trash . Marvin sister was better then marvin

Love Marvis' attitude. Just seems like a great guy.
Joe Frazier will always be one of the greatest.....and it looks like he was a good dad too. Probably my favorite fighter and boxing personality ever. Humble, tough and no nonsense or trashtalk.
On that right uppercut he literally lifted him off the ground. His left foot goes up in the air as his head tilted all the way back. Mike was a beast!
Joe frazier Sr wanted his son to get the same experience that he got from George Foreman !
Mad respect to Marvis, a career to be proud of for sure.
This was the scariest I've ever seen a human. Mike literally hit him three times while he was unconscious standing up before he could even hit the floor and all three shots would knock most people out seperately
Much respect for Marvis, he fought the scariest and most brutal fighter during this era. He has NOTHING to be ashamed about, on the contrary.
Yes he does, he almost got Eatten up by a Hungry Lion. Iron Mike
The sound Mike Tyson’s punches make is like no other professional boxer when he makes contact with his opponent, it has a sweet precise sound like witnessing the perfect golf swing. It’s a thing of beauty.
👍🏼
Sheeseshh what an analogy 😭
actually it sounds more like a wrecking ball entering your garage
Most of his fights were fixes
As each year goes by I think more and more people realise how great Tyson actually was.
@Jake Black yes but we have to remember a lot of the young people nowadays don't know that much about him but these CZcams videos show great he was.
Just like Jordan. Tyson and Jordan were athletes that you were lucky to watch their careers.
He wandered in the wilderness for a long time.
"One of the greatest of all time" ends up being scrutinized for its actual context whenever Tyson is dragged by boxing fans. He's my favorite boxer but I can't place him in a top ten when going by a lot of metrics such as professional record. I give him the benefit of the doubt that were it not for some career turns the wrong way that he could have retired better but that can be said for a lot of fighters who are not highly regarded today. He was unique and interesting and fun to watch but on top of that was also actually good enough to where it's not really highly argued when people regard him as a GOAT even if it's not technically true for all eras.
@@Magneticitist A lot of fighters had better careers, and were great for much longer. I think Tyson's magic was those first years where he destroyed all comers (including, unfortunately, Larry Holmes, who should have known better), up to the Douglas fight, which is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Everything went off the rails after that. He seems to be having a bit of a renaissance these days, with renewed appreciation of how he was at the beginning. The new Wise & Humble Mike persona is a good look for him. I suspect he's probably high a lot. That helps.
I'm from the Philippines watching back a true fighter boxer mike tyson.
Right uppercut, jab to the face, right hook and left hook for goodnight. That speed was incredible and I literally had to slow it down to 0,25 to see the combo.
Iron Mike is an instinctual beast. There's no though, just action and reaction.
I feel bad for Joe Frazier, he had to watch his son get destroyed by a prime Mike tyson.
Ikr
Just like he did with George Forman lol, look at both videos and they are almost the same thing lol
U see his face when he was getting whooped by Larry Holmes
I don't think Tyson was even in his prime yet.
Why would you feel bad for the man that put his son in that situation? Why wouldn’t you feel bad for the kid that got forced
into the ring against a man he had no business being in the ring with? Joe Frazier was a good fighter but a terrible manager.
“If he doesn’t die, it doesn’t count. If he’s not dead, it doesn’t count”. Mike was an animal in his prime.
Tyson was fearsome in the ring --- but he knew how to intimidate outside the ring, too
@@sg-yq8pm Agree. Tyson would sometimes forget that boxing is a sport and you are not supposed to die. I think Tyson said before his Lewis fight that he would "kill and eat Lewis's children". Not very sportsman like.
@@sg-yq8pm Wrong. People can actually die in the ring & have died in the ring. Tyson made you think he could literally kill anyone he was in the ring with.
It was legit. Your comment only shows that you are ironically the stupid & nonsensical one by virtue of never having witnessed it live. If you had - you wouldn't have exposed yourself.
@@sg-yq8pm And his dumb fans just eat it up. Tyson was a very ignorant and low intellect man, mistaken as intelligent by his equally ignorant fans.
@@wanderer1955 Tyson wasn't a sportsman .
Tyson paces around like a tiger. Chilling
THE GOAT
What a lovely quote “standing in the light.” That’s a great way of looking at it. His father was, and still is a legend.
I feel for Frazier’s son. I’d be thinking-I didn’t beat Ali, why are you pissed off at me?
An enraged Tyson at that point in his career is terrifying. I don’t care what Frazier said about his dad being in his corner and that he can’t lose, you’d be very intimidated even if you try your best to not show that on the outside.
Scary as F!!!
What do you mean by I didn’t beat Ali why are you pissed off at me?
Marvin's father Joe beat Ali. It pissed tyson off so he took it out on marvin
@TIL IS 4 nobody cares about you either shut the fk up
@@MatthewSmith-uf6tr Joe beat Ali back in the day before Ali won in the rematch. Tyson went on a tear and basically attempted to murder people that had beat his idol. He basically took transferred agression from Joe and put it on Marvis even though Joe was just a humble nice guy. Tyson also tried to take Larry Holmes head off because of how he beat up on Ali late in his career.
@@TheSeattleGamer It may have been a very different story if Tyson had been facing a prime Holmes.
Imma start learning how to box either june or July. I'm glad I found this channel. It's very entertaining.
Mike Tyson boxing legend 🥊
I replayed the fight so many times. The sound of those punches are insane. Could knock a man's head clean off, credit to Marvis for keeping his.
The quality that you are able to provide with these old videos is unmatched! Thank you
The guys a bulldawg !!!
Since day one
Glad he still has something to prove 💪💯
Mike has always had a knack for using really appropriate statements and at the right time. One of the things that make him legendary.
Thanks for including that part at the end. Wonderful to see such a great father and son relationship. Respect for both Joe and Marvis.
Tyson one of the few special/terrifying fighters who could hit another fighter so fast and hard you honestly think he killed him.
That’s for sure. Frazier scared me how he just crumpled to the floor.
I remember watching the fight and thought I’ve scene guys on the street get killed I thought for sure Marvis was dead.
@@saihemebillings2820 You've seen guys die in the street due to street fights ?
@@TheHumbuckerboy happens more than people think
Velocity, baby. Tyson had it. Tommy Morrison, Lennox Lewis, David Tua, Razor Ruddock, Julian Jackson, Gerald McClellan too. Elite velocity.
I love that last clip
The real savage 💪🏿💪🏿
There's no shame in taking a loss to one of the all time greats.
Facts it's a privilege
Two of the all time greats, Marvin fought Larry Holmes too.
@@soakedbearrd He never should have been put up against either Tyson or Holmes ... poor guy ... he needed someone to look after his health.
No shame at all except seeing him lumped n slumped in the corner.
Tyson nuked Marvin. :). It should have been a war crime.
I'll say this as a boxing trainer, it never hurts to take time developing a fighter, especially if they have youth on their side. As a trainer it's my duty to instill confidence and self-belief in my charge. He has to have the unshakable belief that he can beat his opponent whoever he is in that moment.
Jim Jacobs and Bill Cayton knew exactly what they were doing managing Tyson. Tyson only had 17 amateur fights before turning to the pro ranks. They had the money and clout to be able to secure him the "safe" opponents to build his record and confidence to eventually beat the top dogs, and it worked!
The problem why contemporary fighters who appear to have all the tools don't succeed is that the investors in those fighters are looking for as quick a return on their investment. It's all financially driven.
Yes that is true, and it's also reflected in 80's music when record labels took time to properly develop their artists --- these days, it's all about banging out the dumbest generic shit and artists are thrown by the wayside and easily replaced
@@lukebuchwald9252 Spot on
Well said sir. You know your stuff.
People don't realize that Mike Tyson wasn't just one man. His trainers, coaches and management were ALL top notch! Cus and Kevin Rooney made Tyson!
@@octoman_games No doubt!!!
Yo this is fire you should do more content like this on other 90s fighters.
Tyson is the perfect example of unmitigated violence personified.🔥 🔥
1:36 look at that movement. That's fucking unreal. Like a choreographed scene from a movie, but it's all instinct and reflex. Mike was easily one of the best boxers ever. No question.
d'amato shift
Get out of here, he wasn't even in the top 1000. He was a bum. He failed every time he faced a real boxer. He lost to Buster Douglas? That isn't greatness,it mediocre. He had potential, he wasted it. Please tell me why you think a guy like Tyson who lost the title pretty quickly,was so great???
@@jameswalsh3976 if there was a definition for a hater youd be it

Mike was just sending his opponents into early retirement one after another! These are the best boxing edits on CZcams!
"I'll fight anybody that my trainer puts me in with, because I'm confident that I can beat any fighter in the world".
Ladies and gentlemen, Iron Mike Tyson 💪🏿
Some trainers are looking at $$$$$$$ not what he thinks the boxer can do in a ring !
Marvis is a great guy, an humble and gentleman, he earned 2 millions in his career. Well Done!
Anyone can knock anyone out in a fight. There’s been some hard hitting boxers through the years like George Foreman. I never saw anyone hit like Mike Tyson could, especially with either hand. He’s the most impressive slugger I’ve ever seen climb in the ring.

LOL, dude was going crazy back there. One of the best nights of his life, I bet.
I bet the guy behind him was pissed he missed the knockout LOL
Tyson in his prime was just magical brutality.
he took people's soul in the pre-fight stare down. he made his introduction by the announcer sound like a verdict to his opponents.
Bro the sound of them punches
That last little clip of Marvis was awesome.
Mike was always an open wound. The ring is where he tried to heal.
When Frazier's guided life and loving relationship with his father invaded Mike's world, it kept spilling salt on that open wound.
Every second it continued was unbearable and disrespectful pain for Mike.
Questions every person without a loving parent asks, kept coming up. Unanswered questions. Questions you bury by winning in Life and just forget.
Frazier had to just rub it in my face. Making my FIGHT his personal f$% diary. Showcasing some ideal fairy tale about family.
I earned mine, by myself. In hell, through pain, blood, and sweat everyday since I was born.
You'll never know what it's about or what it's like inside but I'll give you a glimpse with my
BEASTMODE!
Mike is my Hero! Love the man, the legend, and his continued triumphs against all odds.
I got GOOSEBUMPS!!
Found the neckbeard.
