hes right too, i watch ALOT of old fights and SRL... man o man could he throw, and the look of surprise on his opponents face... "how many punches was that?" every goddamn time.

Hes a proffessor in boxing!

Mike's always acknowledgded that he would have been a nobody, if it wasn't for the fighters who paved the way for him. And obviously the people who directly facilitated his career like Cus and Jim Jacobs. As you say, he truly loves and respects guys like Sugar Ray. Unlike Floyd, a guy like Mike would never claim (today at least) that he was a better fighter than his idols. He might be, but he would never say that. And that's the difference between a man like Mike and a 40 year old child like Floyd. Just to add, Floyd has my full respect as a professional athlete, he is absolutely one of the very best, but I detest his personality and his narcissistic tendencies.

@@kfone1 Dude. Mike Tyson treated women like shit for many years, but the more you know about his rape case, the more it becomes obvious that he never forced himself on Desiree Washington. The number one burden of proof being the fact that she had already falsely accused somebody of rape once before, because her father was an abusive maniac and she didn't want him to know that she'd willingly had sex with him before marriage. Also, that guy was her boyfriend at the time.

@@kfone1i shouldn’t have laughed at this but i agree. Charges aside, Mike said some nasty stuff way worse then Floyd claiming himself the best 😂

We always need him 🥲

Elvis?

huh ? When the world needed him most ? ummm ok

Like God?!?! Lol

Marvin Hagler passed away, when? I knew about Sanchez and Camacho.

Hagler beat him - totally BS decision.

He must be on drugs.

He went from zeros to heros in just 2 uploads

That is hilarious!!😂😅

There were actually 5 great middleweight fighters. Iran Barkley beat Hearns...twice!

😂

I'm glad someone else's recognizes!

unfortunately he does run into some copyright issues every now and then. A lot of the older videos have chunks without audio

​@@casualxxgamerxx9662I agree

Aotp

I love his photoshopped, click-baity thumbnails

A cool guy that I am proud to say that I learned about later. Word was that he would do his road work in combat boots; when he was boxing, he stayed training in the barracks.

Brockton is a lot different now!

It's still a shame we lost three years of his prime. Like Ali, we'd never know what could've been

Couldn't believe when a BLTV vid came up in my recommended, for years just thought that was it.

Im a huge Duran fan so i HATED Leonard, but after watching the podcast with Him , Tyson, and Hearns I got ALMOST nothing but respect for him, He still weak for that Duran bs

@@erikvaldes4293?? Weak for what , Duran is the coward that quit

He idolized those heroes of his youth!

Mike is the kindest, most humble apex predator of all time. ❤

Box sadly for the most part is dead. MMA is better tho

Those were the days when boxing was fought with heart and valor,not for just money like today.

Yes, they will be better times coming. Keep an eye on Uzyk.

Who would you replace with him?

He was in the video. Knocked the fuck out though.

@@cookiebot3369 Funny comment 😂 I'll give you that but IGNORANT... 🤷‍♂️

Nah they whooped his azz

@@ronblack4523 DO you understand that he was a lightweight, right?? A lightweight moving up in weights to the welterweight and middleweight division during an really tough era, so of course they beat him, he was supposed to lose but the fact that he managed to compete during that time being just a lightweight is the amazing part... 🤷‍♂️

You're right. He perfected training and endurance after the 10 Round decision loss in 1977. He was both an offensive Monster and defensive one too. His opponent had to worry about his punches and counter of their own.

Absolutely!!

Actual WWE shit, love it. “Holmes punched and kicked me :(“ *Larry Holmes proceeds kick and punch him*

“Ali got the s**t kicked out of him. Cus was mad… I’d never seen him that angry before,” Tyson recalled. D’Amato called Ali post-fight and put his young protege on the phone with one of his idols. “Don’t worry champ,” Tyson told Ali. “When I get big, I’m going to get him for you.” Mike Tyson

He had great style. Not the the greatest boxer, he avoided the top competitors

Yep truly best decade of boxing

I agree 100% Sugar Ray Leonard personifies boxing and its giddy heights and desperate lows. He is an amazing and inspirational human being.

Did you completely ignore the master manipulator part of the video? You think waiting for the guy that beat you to get fat then demand an urgent fight just to ran away the whole fight while he’s slow asf is real champion mentality?

@@erikvaldes4293 Welp, this is the single stupidest comment in the history of the world. Time to get off the Internet for a while. Question. Did the coat hanger get all of your brain or just the part that allows for intelligence?

What about sugar ray robinson ​@@parallaxview2143

Same here. These selections are dope AF.

I don't know what fight you saw but that is not the way that hagler Leonard fight went. That fight was a dog fight all the way through and Leonard won it by unanimous decision! That was not a split decision. It was unanimous. He literally beat the crap out of haggler when nobody thought he could. Go back into your history banks and pull out the video. You are sadly sadly sadly confused that fight was not as close as people thought sugar Ray Leonard dominated!

Wow! I read your comment again and you are obviously a sugar. Ray Leonard hater because you are wrong on another front as well, it was hegler not Leonard who was being called a lot and warned about holding Leonard. Hagler was stronger, but even towards the end of both of the careers landed was still way way faster and the other way hagler to get in to get a hard punch. What's the hold him you really have got the stop telling lies like this or at least in your head. You think they're true. I was literally at that fight with four family members. So don't tell me that what you're telling people on here is correct because you are dead wrong!!! People like you need to stay away from making comments online because that is just so wrong. If you want to hate a fighter fine but don't make up stories that are not true!

I don't know what fight Geo man saw but he is dead wrong. I was at that fight with four family members and I will tell you that it was hagler, not Leonard, who was being warned about holding. Of their career and all the hagler was stronger. Leonard was still the much faster and much more skilled fighter and Leonard absolutely dominated that fight when no one thought he would have there anyone on. Here the challenge and go back and watch the fight again. Leonard won by unanimous decision. It was not a split decision. It was not close. No one could believe that hagler could not knock out. Leonard Leonard wanted unanimously I repeat over and over again. It was not a battle for a couple of rounds. It looked close but Leonard ran away with that fight very easily. So Mr. Geo man stop telling lies and making up stories that are not true just because you don't like a certain athlete or boxer!

I read your comment Mr g old man one more time because I keep finding so many failures in there that you obviously don't have a clue about anything dealing with boxing because you said that Leonard never lost any points for holding?? Get educated because they do not take points away for holding ever in boxing! When someone holds. Only thing referee does is wait to see how long they're going to hold on and then he separates them and tells him not to hold which even saying that to the boxers is also very rare. Points are never ever supposed to be taking away for holding Jesus Christ. How can you be on here? Commenting?

M I'm sorry that I cannot stop commenting because so many things you said are so wrong. I just replayed the fight very quickly and that was barely any holding in that fight at all. It was a clean fight and hagley gave him a run for it during the middle around but overall cigarette lantern dominated. I will not say that enough sugar lander dominate the fight. Hagler had no speed. He only had power and both guys are bruised up which coincidentally nobody and I mean absolutely nobody in the history of hagler's career ever gave that guy and not on his eye like Leonard Dave to him. But he also gave Leonard a pretty nice shiner as well

You didn't pay attention. This video is about the 80s era, not 90s.

Ya sugar ray fast and quick truly one of the best.

Yeah Ray Mercer. Holmes might be the best heavyweight ever, top 3 for sure.

Holmes was actually 42 when he beat Mercer. Years later, Mercer would give a prime Lennox Lewis one of the toughest fights of his career. Holmes is top 3 all time.

The same sugar ray that ran from hagler the whole fight except for when he was holding which he got like some 20 warnings but never had a point deducted smfh, the bias I see from the people who watched sugar ray hold and run in one fight more than Floyd did his whole career but yet you guys are always quick to say Floyd runs 😂😂😂😂

And how was his style like Mike Tysons😂😂😂😂 that’s gotta be the worst comparison ever

Not Foreman, he'd never beat Foreman

@@SpannerzIsHappy You know what? You're probably right now that I think about it. Foreman wouldn't manhandle Tyson the way he did Frazier, but it'd be the same approach, right? And Foreman was definitely long and strong enough to keep Tyson from getting in close. Good point, I think I lose this one!

@@nucklechutz9933 i don't think it would be as heavy a beat down as the Frazier fight thats for sure. But I think either version of George was made for Tyson. Ain't no way Tyson knocks him out

😂🎉

Mr no mas is not in the top 4 but maybe the top 10

My god man I AGREE! How he’s not listed is absolutely criminal
