Joseph Vincent youtube video. This guy does videos for football as well. This video is a little over 27 mins.

The Tyson video starts from the very beginning of his career and alot of behind the scene and personal stuff. I'm about 10 mins into it, and it is really good so far. Figured I'd post it for you guys.

Mike Tyson was a scary freaking beast.

Tyson is a once in a lifetime kind of fighter.
Really ashamed that he could not find another trainer after Cus to contain and channel him.

Tyson's life story is so tragically brutal. And a cautionary tale for anyone who goes from rags to riches.

Comes from nothing, works his arse off to become the absolute best at something and make a name and a life for himself, hooks up with the right people that help him get on track, they die, and then has everything stolen from him by some greedy pieces of shite. Don King is one of the shittiest people in sports/entertainment history.

Tyson was one hell of a boxer though.

MT was way too raw. Regardless of the trainer, he was never going to devote his life to training. Probably the most gifted fighter tho. Ali would have worked him on technique.

The slimy vultures could not wait to swoop in after Cus, then Jacobs, passed away.

No one ever ran through a boxing division and demolished it like Tyson did. It was fun to watch. I am glad he has turned himself around.

Whenever I see two heavyweights hug each other for 10 rounds or some guy dancing around all match trying to win on points it makes me miss Tyson so bad. He's the boxer we wish all boxers were

It was a joy to watch him pop on the scene and move up the ranks back in the days of the HBO tournament . Boxing was so great back then compared to today. My dad, my brother and I used to get together to watch all those fights, then when he moved on to PPV and the big title fights we got the family together for every one. It was an amazing experience to know my generation had its own Ali-level fighter and you knew you were watching something special. Then there was the Buster Douglas fight. I had it taped and watched that knockout SO many times. The end of an era.
Watching guys like Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, etc. was just amazing as well.

Tyson had the perfect body dynamic for hooks and uppercuts. If there was ever a person whose body type fit their sport, it is Tyson.
Someone earlier called him raw, but I saw a perfect combination of hip rotation and speed - the way he could come out of a crouch and deliver a hook was truly perfection.

Tyson has to be one of the most fascinating celebrities. The athletic ability to dominate opponents in the most brutal sport coupled with a sensitive, completely transparent character. I can't help but like the guy. His interviews are so sincere and he has a clarity and honesty about his life experience that is so genuine and rare.

There's a show on Fox called Superhuman that I watch just because Tyson is on the judges panel. Dude's one liners have me dying.

His body type on top of having super heavy hands is why he was so great. Describing him as a pittbull during the 80's is pretty damn head on

That video is awesome. So bizarre how much power he had even out in the far reaches of his punches. Like, there's no way.
