Mike Tyson: A Different Side

[C. M. Clay II]

During the Pre-fight Coverage for the Tyson-Thomas fight in 1987, They show a clip of Tyson helping the YAI Organization, a organization helping mentally retarded young adults. This shows a different side of Mike Tyson. Anyone who thing Tyson is this callous monster should definetely watch this. Tyson had a good heart.:good

Mike wasn´t always a bad person, sadly he evolved into one.

He was always very troubled and crazy.

He seems like a very complicated person, as I often expect the elite boxers to be.

[JimboDs]

Tyson was and still is a child. He was once a child with a good father in Cus D'Amato.

When D'Amato died, he was raised by wolves (Don King and company).

[garymcfall]

Tyson now is a product of what he has gone through in his life, underneath it all he's actually a top guy i think.

I have footage of Tyson helping the people at the YAI organisation. Very good to see, & then icest thing about it all, was that it didn't seem an effort for Mike. He appeared to genuinely care & want to be around the people, helping them etc.

If only the general public or your average joe were to see such footage, I think they would have to alter their opinion of Mike. When it comes to disavanted people, particularly the young, Tyson always seemed to care & want to help.

[Luigi1985]

I think Tyson is a cool and friendly guy. He´s just a bit temperamental, and when someone provocates him, he gets a bit too fast angry, but that´s with a lot of people so... IMO deep inside he has a good heart.

[pryorgatti]

Great footage. Thanks.

[mr. magoo]

I think most people have a good side in one form or another. The key however, is balancing the good with the bad, then drawing a conclusion as to which outweighs the other.

Although Tyson may have shown that he can display decency at times, his darkside ruled over the good. He was known as a thug during his adolescence, and later became an abusive husband and hardened criminal. We also can't easily dicern if his charity efforts were a genuine token of his good will, or an attempt to save public face.

tyson just feel into the wrong place at the wrong time.......when cud died he became a became a real rich man and fell into don who messed with him.......and now he evolved into what he is today

But you can´t always blame the others, it´s his own fault...

I don't necessarily think that Tyson was a great human being even before his encounter with King and co. As a teenager, he was a known thug who beat the livin' crap out of other neighborhood kids and was known for stealing wallets and purses. Granted, he was brought up in a very bad environment, which I won't hold against him, but my point is that I don't think King was responsible for his becoming a criminal.

[punchy]

Tyson is a bit like Homer Simpson, instead of donuts its women and drugs or stupidity although Tyson is a very intelligent man, you only have to hear him talk to realise this, he has little self control or morals, really there are a lot of people out there using and abusing drugs its just we don't think someone in Tyson's position should which is why attention is drawn to it.

[Strangely Brown]

I admire Tyson when he's talking about boxing and the old fighters, he's a real enthusiast and boxing historian.

However, even under D'Amato, he was struggling at times to keep his dark side in check.

From another angle I think it's a real shame the way his life turned out, owing millions and carrying on far too long purely for a few bucks. You would have thought with the fate of Joe Louis that boxers would have looked after their well being and money with far more sense, but they never learned. Nowadays they are better managed to earn a few bob and strategically matched up with other fighters to lengthen careers which is fair enough - just not so good for us fight fans who want to see the big match ups as often as possible.

So? Many people have a troubled childhood. That doesn't mean that they should be branded as monsters for life. George Foreman was a bully and a thug when he was younger, and look at the way he turned out.

Quote from Sports Illustrated, January 6, 1986, "Ready to Soar to the Very Top", by William Nack.

"And then there's D'Amato and the void left in Tyson's life. "I miss him terribly," Tyson says. "The many years we worked over things, and worked over things. He was my backbone. All the things we worked on, they're starting to come out so well. If he was just here to see them, he'd be so happy.

"When I'd get up in the morning, he'd make me breakfast. Now he's not around anymore. God. I'm going to do well, but when I come down to it, who really cares? I like doing my job, but I'm not happy being victorious. I fight my heart out and give it my best, but when it's over, there's no Cus to tell me how I did, no mother to show my clippings to."

At home in Catskill, Tyson keeps pigeons in a coop in the backyard. He feeds them and sets them free and watches them soar in high, quick circles. "They're my brothers and babies," he says. He eats dinner, watches fight films, goes to bed early and is up at dawn to run the roads. "Cus told me, 'Patterson was the youngest world heavyweight champion ever, 21 years and 11 months when he won the title. You'll be younger.' Cus and me, we started out with a job. I just want to finish it."

As I look at young Mike's marvelous smile amid his little friends, so similar to that sheepish, good-natured look he betrayed just after praising Ali on Arsenio Hall's show, I am reminded how Tyson had to make do without parents, without someone who truly loved him unconditionally.

I don't justify his mistakes, but, in contrast, Ali always points to his parents' love as a stabilizing force in his youth. Simply, he wouldn't have been who he was without them. Tyson was a very intelligent young man, and could see through the falseness of the adults around him.

My own parents are both briefly in town right now, and that simple fact has worked wonders for me inside. There's nothing like a parental figure in an individual's life. To me at least, what Tyson did having had such a rotten childhood is admirable.

[Thread Stealer]

I agree, the most important thing in Tyson's life was having a dominant father figure who would keep him busy and out of trouble.

Cus may have kept Mike busy, but not out of trouble.

Cus did a great job of training Mike to be a successful prize-fighter, but it came at a great expense for Mike Tyson the person.

[mr. magoo]

So? Many people have a troubled childhood. That doesn't mean that they should be branded as monsters for life. George Foreman was a bully and a thug when he was younger, and look at the way he turned out.

And I clearly said that I don't hold his upringing against him. My point was that I don't think Don King made him a monster. The choices that Tyson made, he made on his own. It wasn't King nor anyone else who told him to rape Desire Washington, or deck Mitch Green in a street fight, or bite Evander Holyfield's ear, or abuse Robin Givens, or tatoo the shit out of his face, or go through all of his earnings leading to bankruptcy, or tell Ruddock that he was " going to make you my Bitch," or tell Lewis " I'm going to eat your kids. "

Sure, lot's of guys like Foreman and numerous others grew up as thugs, but the difference between some of them and Tyson, is that they chose to grow up and change their thinking. Why would we blame King, who by the way made a kid who was a nobody a millionaire?

As for your statement " that doesn't mean that they should be branded monsters for life," No one branded Tyson as a monster. He branded himself through repeated occurences of violence and disregard for the law.

Bottom line: Tyson's down fall was his own fault.....Period.......

Brilliant point. D'Amato with hindsight made a huge mistake for Mike in making Tyson a boxer. Tyson's demons were going to get worse the more money, fame and publicity he gained.

Tyson needed a father not a boxing trainer, perhaps if D'Amato had made Tyson face up to his problems, rather than Cus closing his eyes and pretending they did not happen, maybe Tyson would of turned out to be a fine human being, if not an excellent boxer.

[janitor]

He is right.

Tysons knowledge of boxing history is enormous.

On this site he could easily be a top 5 poster.

Two things:

1. Tyson would have always been a millionaire. Remember it was King who needed Tyson more than Tyson needed King. That Catskill connection made Tyson a millionaire andt and would have kept Tyson a millionaire.


2. Tyson like many others in the sport had a terrible upbringing but did not have that father figure in his life to keep him stable. After King, there was nobody who loved Mike unconditionally, nobody who cared for Mike Tyson the person. Remember this is a guy who as a newly wed was crying in the shoulders of (forgot the reporters name) saying that he "had nobody in the world to talk to" and this is a newly wed.

His public out bursts would have different if he was more articulate and was able to express himself better. His inability to do so made him angry unpredictable and brash.


Bottom line is that all his problems are of his own doing but there's alot more to it than just that.

Some interesting points.

Joe Louis had a similar background to Tyson in many ways. His family were driven off their land by the KKK when he was a child and he ended up growing up on the mean streets of 1930s depresion/segregation era Detroit.

The one thing he did have was a good mother who kept him out of trouble and insiled moral values.

Sony Liston also had a violent and abusive farther.

Kind of makes you think that it comes down to the parents.

I wouldn´t call Tyson intelligent, but that doesn´t mean that he has no boxing knowledge, I know he knows much about the past in boxing, I only had to laugh, because I thaught at the shit he has done during the last years, and than can´t be called intelligent. But I don´t wanna sound like a smart ass, and I didn´t diss Mike here ore so, I made similar mistakes like him, so I can criticize him here... :yep

I'm well aware of the fact that Tyson lacked in a parent figure from the time he was in pre adolecence to the time he was an adult. In addition he was immature for a kid his age meaning that at 22 years old, he probably had the mentality if someone who was more like 16. He was not entirely alone in the world for most of that time though. Growing up from the time he was 13 to the time he was 19, he had Cus and Kevin Rooney. Both men tried to instill stability in him. Lot's of kids lose thier parents and role models around adolescence. It doesn't give them a license to be a prick.

Its not stupid or childish to call something what it is. Tired of people trying to defend pieces of crap like Tyson because he did something decent many years ago. Its desperate and you should be called on it. Just like the idiots in the NFL who try to defend Vick because he is a nice guy. But in the spirit of things I will list some really good things Tyson has done.



1- In a world of 3 billion women he only raped 1 that I am aware of.

2- He didn't beat that old man to death in that traffic incident he only beat him a little.

3- When beating his wife I heard he only hit her with jabs sometimes doubling up but never any hooks.


4- He only bit off one of Holyfields ears when he clearly could have gone for the other one if he really wanted.

You know Tyson reminds me of a guy i used to know round here. Moose was his nick. Rough guy, but used to get around preaching us younger fellows morals over a scoob and beer. Dealt weed, got aggressive when things didn't go his way, etc. For quite a few years he hid his real persona quite well, but we knew what was behind the facade. He was damn well insane deep down. Him and another guy beside me got into an argument at the local, Moose' full beer missed our heads by about 2 feet and we were showered with glass. By the time this guy went outside after him he had a fukking tommy hawk from the fire station next door, lmao! Spun rocks on a mate moms car, when his dad fronted him he says hang on, goes to the car and comes out swinging a damn pipe. It caught up with him tho, of course he hung around fellow heavies and when you cross them we know what happens. He pulled a gun on the hardest mofo i have ever met's neice and daughter (his own), his girlfriend. This guy talked the gun off him, unloaded it and proceeded to wrap it around his head, many times lol. 3 or 4 days till they could x-ray for fractures such was the swelling. He moved away and we read about him in the papers, held the same girl and her mom at knifepoint in a seige. No sooner got out and raped a chick, with his record he got about 12 years and is due out any day. Didn't surprise me when i heard he was the prison librarian and looking to do a bit of bible work or such. He won't fool anyone.

Tyson reminds me of this guy to a tee. Had the innocent act down pat as well as the high morals and humble respect. Most of us would realise what really lay deep down.

I knew quite a few guys like this " Moose " fellow you're describing. They all preach their false values to others, then proceed to do otherwise. Yeah, Tyson's career as a hardened criminal isn't over with in my opinion. Sooner or Later he'll pull an O.J. Simpson and wind up killing or raping another innocent victom.

Just a matter if time really.

You're prolly right mate. Things turned on Moose a bit, i know of 5 or 6 decent hidings he got before he went in. Moose could fight a bit, but trouble is when you hang with the mobs he did good fighters are a dime a dozen. Comparative to his peers in that lot he was not much better than run of the mill. I know for a fact that 12 months or so after Moose went to jail the guy that got the gun off him went in there as well. Moose sent 4 of his cronies around but knew this other guy well enough to hide just in case things went wrong. Well they did, to the tune of this guy putting a couple of them in hospital (rammed a couple of heads into walls i was told, hard) then gunning for the library where good old Moose was no-where to be found lmao. I have no doubt whatsoever he was caught up with. This other guy was unstoppable once on a mission. Moose knew him as well as anyone, how in gods name he thought these 4 would do the job i will never know. He did take an each way bet by hiding i guess haha.

I'm sure that it's as apparent to you as it is to me that Moose's biggest mistake was not sending Gerrie Coetzee after that other fella.

Prolly my fave was when he ko'ed a bikie who used to terrorize a certain pub with a single headbutt then went hammer and tong with the ex leader of the Rebels, about 6'5 and 20 stone :yikes

From my personal experience boxing never worked much in street fights. Most brawls wind up on the ground, or involve kicks and elbows. I've managed to land a few shots in the opening seconds of a scuffle before having to resort to grabs and throws. 10 years ago, I was enjoying a few beers at a local place, when a biker and his girlfriend decided to start poking fun for shits and giggles. I ignored the guy at first, but then started talking smack back to him. He saw me take a sip of my beer, and said " you gonna hit me with that bottle?" I said no, but he was ready to go at it. I grabbed a handful of his rather long and bushy hair with my left hand, then proceeded to clock him with my right. All of a sudden, there was a handful of hair but no guy :lol:

Anyway, thats how I see it. Since those days, I've grown up a bit, and learned to walk away when trouble comes calling.

I know Frank Bruno for one maintains that Tyson plays the good cop - bad cop routine for people. He mentioned it in his biography...I'll try to dig it up and type up the quote here, but Bruno recognised the act. Sucking someone in to feeling sorry for you, then turning on them, self-destructive behaviour.

Still, it's a nice video clip.

He moved away and we read about him in the papers, held the same girl and her mom at knifepoint in a seige. No sooner got out and raped a chick, with his record he got about 12 years and is due out any day. Didn't surprise me when i heard he was the prison librarian and looking to do a bit of bible work or such. He won't fool anyone.

Tyson reminds me of this guy to a tee. Had the innocent act down pat as well as the high morals and humble respect. Most of us would realise what really lay deep down.
