tyson would have been the greatest if cus was still alive and kept him disciplined. better then ali by miles, the footwork, speed, agility, power, head movement NO OTHER BOXER in history moved like tyson at his peak and prime. anyone who just says ali are just casuals who just go with the trendy media.

Imagine beeing 14 years old, fighting and dominating a bigger 25 years old semi-pro boxer. That's insane

Much respect to the sparring partners. Some may still be injured.

The way Tyson carries himself in the ring displaying that speed and power is why he was such a dangerous boxer. Not even your best defense couldn't hold a man like that back from hurting you.

I remember when I was in Coxsackie , and the Co's used to talk about Mike being up in the Catskills training, since we were in Greene County, and we got to see him beat Trevor Berbick for the Title when he was 20. Back then ESPN has most of his fights we could watch him working up the ranks , he used to fight like once a month, where like nowadays you'd be lucky to see your favorite fighter go at it once a year. I loved his Peek a Boo style that Cus ingrained in his psyche, like Floyd Patterson,and Jose Torres, only Mike PERFECTED IT. I loved the Team that was built around Mike so sad when Cus passed , Jacobs passed, rooney was pushed out by Don King ,and the rest was History.

💯These TYSON 👊🏾Spars 👊🏾Are More Aggressive Than Today’s Current Heavyweight Bouts 💯

Respect to these men for taking on a monster.

Sparing is so important it really prepares you for a real fight you can hit the bag and pads all day but they don't hit back

Growing up with a Father who was a boxing promoter in the late 70's thru 2000 I remember most that when Tyson was only 18 he was the talk because NOBODY alive that could stop this Dynamic kid who had a style that seemed beatable when he stood in front of a guy with both hands at his chin. seemed amateurish ,,,,,, but then hell broke loose and it was time to call the EMT. To this day I have to say that feeling of something special,,, a once in a lifetime fighter does not exist today. I do not care about anything he did outside of the ring because he is human. In the ring for a long time he truly was SUPERMAN !

We never got to see the best mike Tyson. He was still improving with Rooney and he hadn't peaked yet in his skills. All the progress stopped when Rooney got fired. Just imagine what he could have been

Back then, Mike didn't see a difference in "big" or "small", he only saw lunchmeat.

Man, this is some hard sparring!

After Rooney he was never the same

Iron Mike was tough as hell for being so small as a heavyweight. Kinda reminds me of rocky Marciano the way he dips to inside throwing combos

They wouldn't come against you until you 💯 had problems 💯

Post prison he just completely abandoned his jab almost like he forgot how to throw it and his head movement started to slack which was probably attributed to softer camps and less conditioning after Rooney

Fighters like Mike are very rare god bless him…cus was a great teacher

This is an amazing video! So many clips I’ve never seen before, and I would’ve swore that I’ve seen everything out there from Mike. Thank you!

R.I.P. Cus D' Amato, I've watched all of Mike Tyson's fights, Including the 3 part, before & after fighting Mike comments, his opponent's said some interesting and some BS replies, Eddie Richardson was asked after being KOd if he had ever been beaten as hard as Tyson beat him, and his reply was "Yes, about a year ago, I was hit by a truck" The opponent for whom I have the greatest respect for, not making up excuses and telling the truth was Lorenzo Boyd, when asked by Larry Merchant if Tyson could beat anyone in heavyweight boxing right now, Lorenzo said "Yes, He'll Go All The Way" And when Tyson fought Pinklon Thomas, I've never seen a man take as many brutal punches to the face and head as he did, and Tyson said "I hit him with everything I had, and didn't care if he died" of course he changed that later down the road. Thanks S.V. Great Channel. 👍 🇺🇸

Excellent video. Thanks for making this! It's fitting that Mike is such a historian of boxing, studying the greats, and now he joins them, there for us to study along with the best of all time. In my opinion Iron Mike is at the top of that list.

I been training and sparring and the amount of energy it takes to move that fast at heavyweight is crazy. He was bad man one of a kind no duplicates

dude, your video is on top! this is godamn great, man

Old tyson clips are like a "How it's Made" episode of making an elite pounding machine.

One week ago i had a sparring match against someone 70lbs bigger than me who fought serious with hard punches,i was lucky enough to block most critical punches but even then they shooked me,cant imagine going into the ring with someone like mike who is 10 times worse,he would kill me

What a treat to watch! Thank you for making these videos. Mike Tyson was great in the ring, because he was great in the gym: to be great in the ring, you must be first great in the gym.

I'm 45 and grew up watching Tyson. a lot of fighters, we watch and see as they get older, if they last, you can see them all lose something. That thing that Tyson had, he still hasn't lost it, I don't believe he ever will. he's still fukin great .

Thank you very much for these great videos of Tyson really thank you wish you millions of subscribers. See you soon for more videos I hope we all Peek a boo style Tyson fans.🙏🏻❤️

Tyson just hit way to hard in his days🔥 got dam that man threw lethal punches💯

what a great video. thanks so much.

People always obsess over these 'mike tyson combos' invariably involving upper cuts, hook... 90% of what he effectively did was with a hard jab from a few different angles.

listening to his trainer i kind of understand where tyson's voice came from.

What's crazy is mike didn't wear headgear but his sparring partners always did😂😂

Awesome!!! 25 minutes of constant bombardments from Iron Mike!!!! Thank you!

Masterpiece ever. Great

Tyson was only 18 or 19 here what a beast every punch he threw he wanted to take your head of look at his movement always moving his head from side to side and ducking down avoiding anything that was coming his way this is a time when he had Gus

Bardzo cenny archiwalny materiał.

If Tyson stayed training under Kevin Rooney and stayed away from Don King then he would be a top three heavyweight champion under Ali, Louis and Holmes. Don King, sniffing Cocaine, too much money, partying and being with the wrong crowd killed his passion for boxing and his career. Mike's true prime lasted until 1988 with his Michael Spinks fight with trainer Kevin Rooney. He was good when he fought Ruddock and other guys in the 1990s. But by then he was no longer moving his head, throwing combinations and looking for one big punch. His passion was never the same once Rooney left.

can you include the tape of kevin rooney and mike on the pads in tokyo 88’ in another video? cant find it

this is excellent rare footage

Don't you love the way boxers usually secretly have respect for each other, if your good

I love you Mike Tyson your the greatest

You sparring with Mike, you had a big heart, for sure.. The most powerful punches in history, this Mike had for sure 🥊🥊🥊

Questa sì che era box grande 👍💪

Great video

Great footage

Can you please load the heavy bag video from mike back up or make a new please ❤

Just watching him shadow box is very motivational

Those rapid-fire body shots are nasty. Let one of them catch you in between breaths.

Not enough attention and respect is given to Cus. He made world champions, he was all about the mental aspects of a man and the war within yourself to push yourself. "Cus believe a fighter must train often and hard" you could say that about any endeavor. IF cuz was alive today half the world would be trying to get him on ted tlks and pod casts and the man would have none of it. He had no interest in foolish things, attention, only being your best at whatever it is you want in your life.

No hype no music in the gym. This is a true blue good ol self motivated discipline! Humanity's hardness gets softer with time, unless WW3 or some global plague hits us again which is unlikely, at least not to the degree of back then.. so its sad we will never see true warriors again! The irony is ppl need to watch this kinda video to be motivated and thats already soft.

The sign of a true boxing casual is when they point out the limited talent available during the era Tyson fought in, or how Tyson wilted whenever he faced tougher opponents. They never acknowledge his freak work ethic and what that would have carried him to if Cus had been 20 years younger and Rooney had remained his trainer. It seems crazy to think he wouldn't have gone down as the greatest boxer of all time.

Love Mike, best boxer

After rooney he stopped moving his head didn't use angles an foot work to position his opponent where he wanted them after rooney he would kinda just walk forward at you take a couple hits in the face an then try to throw a heavy punch cuz he know all he had to do was connect with one clean shot an it was lights out

18 months after firing team Rooney , Mike suffered his 1st loss.

I believe the real reason Mike did so well because he truly LOVED CUS ! And Mike would have done ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING for him ! And cus SIMPLY ADORED MIKE LIKE ONE OF HIS OWN KIDS ! PROBABLY EVEN MORE !!! and it shows!!!

Great video. Thanks

Man!!! If cus was 10 more year with Mike, he would have been THE GOAT!!!! Don't get me wrong, he is still one of the greatest but with cus, he would have reached levels that no other boxer would have achieved.

Just a bigger target for Mike! He'd chop them down like trees.

Thank you

I LITERALLY CANT BELIEVE THAT LAST DUDE STAYED UP!!!

Kevin Rooney's lesson on elusiveness seems to elude a lot of fighters and their trainers.

Back when well known people said complimentary things about each other.

😂 the subtitles

The captions call Cus D'amato: Custom Model and Custom Auto 😂

I'm 11 right now and training for my 4th amateur fight right now and this is my idol

Très bonne vidéo je sais pas où ta chopé sa .

he punchin the fuck outta a 14 year old…i know he mike but still hilarious 😂

Mike Tyson would have easily retired undefeated hadn’t he let his mind/inner demons get the best of him.

14 pushing a 25 yr old is a underrated feat

oh!!! good video

Each time you provide us with beautiful videos on TYSON and Peek a boo style thank you very much. Would it be possible to make us a nice video on Tyson's hooks and his famous gazelle punch.???? Thank you very much in advance. It will get thousands of views I'm sure. See you soon thank you 🙏🏻♥️

He a monster

His jab is so underrated

Wow, you know cus was like a dad to Mike, but Kevin Rooney was like his older brother. Mike even talks like how Kevin talks earlier in this video. The cadence of speaking and words used are very similar to the way Mike talks, especially back when he was in his early 20s

"SPARRING" .... thats a legit fight. damn, those guys had no idea who this kid was going to be.

Bro the thumbnail 😂

Mike Tyson looks adorable in that face helmet in the thumbnail.

Those punching sounds they make in the movies, they sampled them off of Mike.

I'm sure boxers of today do not have this kind of experience guaranteed

Tyson 14 sparring with no headgear is insane 😮 Tyson was so quick and Powerful

Where was Holyfield and Levis at that time? 😂😂😂😂They had to wait until Mike was old to fight him. Mike is a true champion.👍‼️🧨

Every punch was hard

Most people saw tyson as undersized until they seen him fight

Title should say big sparring partners vs MIKE TYSON

Bendito prodigio

Big george❤ what a Gentleman for me the best Champion

Its weird to think that in 100 years no one will really appreciate how good Mike Tyson was.

He speed doing those shoe shines . Wow

Big Up All The Legends

Fun being a sparring(?) partner when you are all alone you have not only Mike trying to take your head off but he is being coached and praised if he lands a hard punch, lol geez!

I think once he reached the goals and the fame n fortune that was the statt of the end for Tyson , he must be so hard to sustain yourself at that level for any athlete the constant effort to motivate yourself has to take affect once your goals ate teached and the constant discipline , especially under Mikes circumstances. You can see the steady decline in skill as he becomes less and less interested . I think the start was definitely when Cus died thats when the influence of what Mike bevame was lost , thats when the fire started to go out . But hey everything happens for a reason and nothing lasts forever on this earth

Hey Mike how was that Buster Douglas knockout punch that took your title? Haaa

If his partner could withstand that much damage then idk what else to say

I feel Mr.Rooney playrc very important role in Tysons life..for transforming him.

Does have wicked trainers on you, this is important. Stuff couldn't know at time otherwise possibly

Fighting often and regularly take note modern fighters

"u hear him IT COULDDDD CREATTEEEE PROBLEMSSSSS FOR YOUUUUUUU" CONCUSIIONUCIOON AFTER GETTING HIT BY TYSON

Just like a small killing machine. Great

This footage is nuts incredible amazing when he was with Rooney , you see the change automatically all the hangers ons vultures if he just been left alone with his original team , But mike decided the change that cost him his fate that is number one rule in boxing DISCIPLINE .What an absolute machine if only he was in condition to properly fight Lennox & Evander that would of been something instead of a shot Mike ,instead of 220 oiled greased up killing machine .

That jab........
