Dudes 5'11 talking like his 5'4. Heavyweights be different

[elyogito]

If most athletes mikes size and below had this kind of mentality they’d be beasts, too many “can’t, won’t, don’t, avoid, weight classes for a reason, impossible, can’t work” mentality really holds people back from being great, and reasons why there won’t ever be anyone like the Champ ever again

I’m 4.11 and dealing with middle school bullies. Now that I know this I’m going to beat there ass

Regardless of height. Use it to your advantage

[CHIMPmanHE]

Im 5'7 built like a chimp im now 42 and happy we are all special in our own way thank you Mr Michael Tyson 🙏 ❤️ Wish everyone reading this good health.

[devohnmitchell]

Yep Mike Tyson was short for a Heavyweight however you cannot discount his Natural Athletic Ability of : Power, Agility and and the skills that he learned from his Trainer.

It’s crazy, I’m 5’6, but built like a wildebeest. I’ve never really been intimidated by a man’s height. Literally most dudes are taller than me, but very few are built like me. I guess, due to my height I did compensate in weightlifting. If that would ever help me in a fight idk, but I sure do think it gives me an advantage over 6+ scrawny MF. Maybe not a 6+ juiced MF, but luckily there are even less of those around 😅

I’m going to say one thing and that is, TALL FIGHTERS ARE SCARED OF SHORTER FIGHTERS. From day one were met with the reality that our punches, as taller fighters, are more efficient in speed and creating distance, especially our lead hands. I absolutely get ready for a world of pain because I KNOW that the shorter guy in the ring will use his power and speed to knock my ass out.

That’s just what they’re trained to do, what they’re bred for. To chew the big guy up without any mercy.

[joebrown]

Main thing he said is believe in yourself and also have heart to battle for your safety

[SalKay-urnk]

The saying is in boxing that you have to make your weakness your strength, so if you’re short become shorter, if you’re tall become taller, which means that if you’re short, you use your leverage and use elusiveness so that the taller opponent is punching towards the ground which doesn’t have any power also, if you are taller fighter you use your jab and step in to make your reach longer

god bless Michael Gerard Tyson...the greatest

[TaylorTiger]

I'm 5'7 210lbs did boxing for 2yrs I can say it's very intimidating fighting taller guys but Mike's right if u close the gap and eat away at there body 9/10 they can hit you. & tho I only boxed a short time & miss it. You learn quickly too close that gap when you het tired of getting hot non stop from a distance 😂😂 not fun at all.

[nicholashelms]

Back when I was boxing I actually liked Fighting people taller than me. When they were taller I could keep pushing aggressively and stay on the inside which they always had a problem trying to counter.

[TronFromDallas]

Ik that barber dead asf mike beat uhm down 😂😂😂

[CoFFee-uwsv]

Hes springing up to em with pure leg power

[PercFanboy]

I’m 5’7 ab to box a 6’6 guy on Wednesday😭😂 I’m cooked

[trollbane]

Cuss loved Marciano. You see it in Mike's style.

[Softman]

Mike Tyson or the guitar, don't know which i'm enjoying more.

[nicholashelms]

Head and foot movement to get into the inside and stay there really is everything. I have a tall friend who told me the only fights he lost were to people shorter than him because when they got inside he couldn't hit them with a good punch at all.

[justinsmith]

I love you Mike. The old and the new you.
