– I enjoyed watching / listening to this interview.
– Especially enjoyed Tyson’s “e-mail” to Cus D’Amato towards the end if the interview.
– Thank you for posting it, Fight News.
Like him or not, Tyson brought us some heavy pounding action in the mid to late 1980’s. The power Tyson displayed was very unique and intimidating to say the least. Hard to even watch some of these modern champions and compare their power to Iron Mike’s arsenal. This modern interview portrays Mike in a different subtle version and a huge difference as compared to his past youthful, hungry, aggressive, and scary demeanor we saw in the 1980’s. Thank you, Mike Tyson for those magical moments of “awe” and “wow” reactions during your prime knocking out those who stood in your way to hold supremacy. Could you imagine Wilder, Fury, or even Joshua getting cracked with a prime right hand from Iron Mike?
Aside from Holmes, the Heavyweight division was a mess in the years preceding Tyson’s rise to the top. The belts were bouncing around between guys like Greg Page, Tony Tubbs, Tim Witherspoon, Gerry Coetzee, Mike Weaver, John Tate, Trevor Berbick, Pinklon Thomas, etc… He cleaned that whole mess up and unified the division. He was a great addition to that division, and brought attention when it was desperately needed.
Having a hard time envisioning what a Mike Tyson-Tyson Fury fight might have looked like. Mike is the better of the two, at least in my opinion, but there’s such a difference in height, reach, & weight between the two. Not sure what would have happened if Mike nailed him flush. Fury did handle Wilder’s power, so it stands to reason that he would have handled Mike’s as well.
