This blows me away. I never associate Tyson with the Cavett era.

You can hear the influence D'Amatto had on him in his professional and personal life. So once D'Amatto was gone he spiralled out of control. Not an excuse for him because ultimately he is responsible for his own actions. Such an interesting interview at a pivotal moment in Tyson's life. It's a pity people can't see past the headlines and can only comment on the little they think they understand about the man from headlines. Cavett is a skilful interviewer.

If I had seen this interview when I was in high school, Mike Tyson's view on fear would have helped me so much when I played football and wrestled.

@TheDickCavettShow… Do you have the episode or clips of Roller Derby phenoms of the distaff persuasion from The San Francisco Bay Bombers, Joan Weston & Carolyn Moreland from about 1970-1971?

[invisibleadversary]

I don’t think Cavett, even being a Yale-educated intellectual, admired anyone more than fighters on his show.

[magnacz]

How young he was and talkative. Would habe been interesting to invite Ali at the same time.

Mike Tyson Has Such A Soft Voice. If You Close Your Eyes You Think Of A Shy Guy.

You overcome fear by sexually assaulting it.
