Tyson looks so intimidating, but then he talks ... 😭

When Tyson says "He hits like a mule kick" that is much respect.

Lots of respect to someone who not only continued the fight with a broken jaw, but to get up with a smile on his face "It's better than crying" 😂

I never could, and I never will understand how Tyson could take those shots from Ruddock without even taking a knee. Inhuman resistance.

Mike Tyson - *kills man* Also Mike Tyson - *speaks like a nuclear physicist*

"He's one of the most experienced referees in the world. I can't judge him because I'm not his peer." That moment when the notoriously crazy Young Mike just got out of a fight and still had more logic than 95% of the population.

40 wins: 30 by KO. And 6 losses, Ruddock was nothing less than a beast and bad ass!!!

Intense respect for Ruddock for fighting through a broken jaw. The guy is a true athlete.

Having a broken jaw and continuing to go rounds with Tyson in his prime is an achievement in itself

If Tyson compliments you that basically means you're a killer. His punching power was off the charts.

Mike had a survival mindset. His life would have ended early as a kid on the streets. But he didn't settle for that. He turned his rage, and pain into something remarkable. And of course he had an amazing coach. One thing that made him so dangerous, was the fact that he watched all the best fights in history. And took all the best styles and made his own. He was a true martial artist.

I remember Tyson said he was scared to go for the head on his opponents cause he didn't want to kill anyone. So to have Tyson say you hit like a mule kicks is mad respect.

“I can’t judge him because I’m not his peer” dude has always been well spoken

Tyson’s respect for the referee is a class act.

Man, props to Razor. Imagine taking a direct hit from Tyson, then imagine taking them with a broken jaw. What a legend

"if he doesn't die, it doesn't count." Mike Tyson is an American treasure. I fucking love that guy.

You know it’s a terrifying punch when it’s explained for 11 minutes

I heard a guy who fought Tyson say, "Tyson hits you like you stole something from him."

Contrary to the public perception, Tyson seemed to be a very considerate boxer who was respectful to the opponents. He was destroyed by some greedy corrupt promoters like Don King...Had he remained with Kevin Rooney as his coachhe would've remained invincible for 2 or 3 decades.....🙏🙏

I really, really miss the 80's and 90's heavyweights! That was so much fun to watch and I'm thankful I was alive for that era!

"I can't judge him because im not his peer." I didn't expect such a wise statement from Iron Mike.

Imagine trash talking some kid with lisp online and then seeing this dude pull up

At 7:30, wow, Tyson impressed me with his discussion about the referees call. Actually one of the most intelligent discussions about a ref's call I have ever heard from a sports figure.

Ruddock was on of the kindest gentleman I ever met. I was in high school and I boxed at Golden Gloves gym in Las Vegas, NV. I arrive at school one day and recognize a team of men on the track and football field. One was Ruddock's manager who's name I fail to recall. Ruddock was suppose to show for wind sprints and other running. His manager and team talked to me for 20 minutes about boxing and my love for the sport. He told me to be there same time the next day to meet Ruddock because now they knew he was not coming. The next day I was there and Ruddock no shows again and I go to class but not before Ruddock's manager got my name before I left. 30 minutes later the Principal comes to my first period class and asks for me. He walks me to the football field where I met Mr. Ruddock and his team. They sent for me. Amazing day. For 30 minutes he talked to me about his game plan to fight Mike. He gave me a Leather Coat that had his image in colorful leather throwing the smash punch that said Team Ruddock across the rear shoulder area. He then had me out to his sparring sessions to watch him train. This was a Large powerful man. Tyson was my size and Ruddock dwarfed me. I was lucky enough to have tickets to their rematch. Anyways, that is what happened and how I met Ruddock. Good guy.

Anyone willing to face Iron Mike a second time got my respect.

_"Everybody's got a face, not until you got hit in the plan"_ -Tike Myson

I’m ashamed to say I had no idea Ruddock was such a great fighter…..hats off to him.

I'm a diehard Tyson fan, but man do I have respect for Razor .....and the sportsmanship between them both at the end of the 2nd fight was uncanny. Never knew that Ruddock beat Lewis and Lewis beat the sh*t out of Tyson essentially ending his career, so someone can always figure out an opponent someone else couldn't. I miss those days of heavy-weight fighting.

Mike gets a reputation for being a little fire ball of disrespect, attitude, and swagger... but people forget how much of that is an act or a psychological tool against his opponent, because you'll notice as soon as the fight was over Mike had nothing but positive things to say about the man he had just traded shots with for rounds and rounds of combat. "Punches like a fuckin' mule kick! Excuse my french, but oh my god" You know if Tyson is saying that, he means it.

"His punches feel like a fucking mule kick oh my god" Coming from Mike Tyson in his prime? That's about a big a praise as it gets in this profession

You have to give the man respect He took some of the hardest hits by Mike Tyson in his prime and smiled it off

Tyson for the brute he was, he had impressive defensive skills too. Extremely fun to watch his whack-a-mole technique where he was just crouching and popping up. But you knew that if he hit you with a left hook or uppercut when he was coming up from this crouch, it's "nite-nite". Mad respect for the fighters who stepped in the ring with him and took multiple of those punches in th chin without going to another dimension.

Mad respect tho for Razor stepping in to the ring twice against Tyson. Plus the fact that he continued the fight with a jaw fracture showed his bravery and determination even.more.

“I can’t judge him, I’m not his peer“ Coming from Mike himself, it really does put armchair critics on blast.

The amount of respect shown by these two warriors is admirable. I respect them both.

"I cant judge him because I'm not his peer" Tyson is an awesome dude

Tyson ended lots of boxers' hopes and dreams and it was fun watching it.

“I can’t judge him because I’m not his peer.” -Mike Tyson Brilliant.

Some how I missed all this at the time. Thank you for for filling the gap and doing so very well!

You can’t help but love Mike Tyson. He’s a good soul.

Fought the hardest hitter in Heavyweight history for 9 rounds with a broken jaw. Man, that's balls of steel. Mad respect for Ruddock.

7:18 I like the way he pays his respects to the referee. "I can't judge him because I'm not his peer."

I cannot imagine getting your jaw broken from a punch, and the pain that must entail, but the fact that he managed to keep fighting 9 ROUNDS, whilst continually being hit with a broken jaw is beyond me. He must've been in excruciating pain constantly. I have nothing but respect to all boxers, because only one of the punches they take and give 100s of times during a fight would be enough to break my ribcage and fracture my skull.

I think these two genuinely enjoyed fighting eachother for sport as they saw an equal challenge, what a great fight from two incredible athletes. Actually two great fights!

Losing to Tyson on points was a rare honor.

Had a broken jaw and still taking Tyson’s hit? Guys a tank. 😂

Respect to Ruddock for hanging in like that with a broken jaw, you could clearly see it in the post fight interview, he could barely talk, that’s a lot of heart right there!

“I can’t judge because I’m not his peer” is a very enlightened way of thinking

This guy fought Tyson after Tyson broke his jaw. That’s insane he’s got my respect

Anyone who took Tyson on in his prime deserves to be called a champ

I think these two men might be the most dangerous to be put in a ring against, just the shear power and the ability to pull out a knockout so quickly

Bless these two men for being good sports 💯

"If he doesn't die it doesn't count" -Mike Tyson

"I can't judge him because i'm not his peer." -Much respect 4 ty😎

The pain of knowing there's this one person you will never be able to beat no matter how hard you work

I remember watching these fights. Two great fighters going toe to toe. I get queasy thinking of the pain Ruddick must have been in fighting on with a broken jaw. Amazing fighters, great video showing some great boxing history.

If Mike Tyson ever hits my girl then my girl just got hit.

"the problem whit today boxing is that back in my day we were killers who happen to box, now they are bussines men who happen to box" Mike Tyson

Mike handled that well “I think it was early stoppage but I can’t say cause I’m not his peer” smartest thing a fighter can do is understand he isn’t a ref.

I like when Tyson said I can't judge him because I'm not his Pier, that was godly this man is well spoken and a fucking legend

"Hit like a mule kick" that is the most respectful thing Mike gave to his opponent

Mike said of the referee, “I cannot judge him, for I am not his peer”. Pretty cool statement

Man, I have a lot of love for Mike. He seems like a most respectful man. The kind of man that treats people how they treat him. Much respect for Mike. Every time he speaks I smile, laugh or shake my head in agreement lol

I remember these fights. Surely the hardest puncher Tyson ever faced. Not the greatest defensive fighter, perhaps, but lots of power.

“It’s better than crying”

"I can't judge him because I'm not his peer." Where has this mindset gone today.

i love your videos, you always get the best angles

Maaaaan I grew up watching Tyson, and this just confirms what me and my brother always felt. Tyson was the scariest fighter ever!!

He fought 9 rounds with a fracture jaw against Tyson ..? Crazy

When Tyson said “who am I to make judgement, I am not his peer” wise man, not stupid

The amazing Tyson remained humble and showed this opponent a lot of due respect.

Tyson is always so respectful in the post fight interview

Mike was a religious man. He was known to "punch people in the faith"

Dude fought NINE ROUNDS with a broken jaw?? That’s savagery at it’s fucking finest.

Tyson is such a beast. One of the best to ever do it. Plain and simple. Much respect to Ruddock as well.

was greatly edited and put together. keep up the good work. subscribed

“Better than crying” respect yo

Tyson was fighting guys taller than him with longer reach and knocking them out with *BODY SHOTS* Legendary

Ruddock seems like a beast. I don’t know much about boxing but he seems like a true athlete. A great gentleman.

I watch this video like every 6 months. I love this video

If you have a broken jaw and keep taking shot after shot from Mike Tyson, then you're one tough SOB...

Tyson fights like a pitbull, he's not very big but aggressive as hell.

I would say he is one of the most underrated major boxers. I'm sure there are even beasts we've never even heard of out there

Thanks for the upload.

"I can't judge him because I'm not his peer". Man I like that.

Tyson didn’t just end hopes and dreams with one punch, he ended self esteem, confidence, understanding, brain cell regeneration, post nasal drip, eye sight function, sense of smell and taste, mobility, ability to function in society, and a lot more. He was not normal.

Ruddock was so shocked at the blows Tyson could take. And give. You can tell it was a new experience for him. He was amazing though, for real. The pain of your jaw breaking and then knowing that Mike Tyson was going to punch you in that broken jaw over and over???? He's both nuts and crazy strong.

Tyson sounds so respectful in these interviews, despite his bad rep.

Bruh . He smiles . Bec he finally found someone that knocked him down

"Excuse my French" Sir, you can speak any language you want, it's not like anyone is willing to stop you

i just love how respectful and kind tyson is despite being such a monster in the ring. why he will always be my favorite.

great mini documentary. So sad to see a potential great star loosing chances to excellence. I'm glad you can rescue his history, as you ussually do with other great boxers.

"Punches like a mule kick!" Lmao. Got to love tyson

"I can't judge him 'cause I'm not his peer" Gotta love those lucid nuggets from Tyson

I love how Mike Tyson can be come across super aggressive but at the same time be the most respectful boxer (talking about the ref).

Amazing content man well worked.

Tyson took some punches that would've critically wounded a normal person.

Tyson's head movement never really gets talked about because of his power, but it really was insane how well he could slip punches.

Imagine what an absolute beast of a punch you'd need to have to get those words of praise out of Tyson? I can't even imagine! 😳

"... it was war." But they still congrats each other at the end. TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP!
