Mike Tyson’s Phone Call With Muhammad Ali | CONAN on TBS

[ominae]

He become so humble, to admit that Holmes was past his prime.

[natbrownizzle]

Everytime he speaks of Cus D'Amato he tears a bit, just shows how much he loved that guy and how thankful he is.

[trixielolo]

It gave me chills when he said at 14 years old, he was crying to Ali saying, "I'll get him for you when I get big". How precious, passionate, protective and empathetic towards Ali's loss.

[gregodonnell]

In tysons own words. "All heads must bow, all tongues must confess. Muhammad Ali is the greatest of all time"

[lonestar]

_"I was pretty lucky to win. Larry was pretty old by that time."_
Wow. Some real humility from Mike Tyson there. Larry Holmes was a great fighter. And should be respected so.

[hamzaahmed]

So Dave Chappelle, The Rock and Iron Mike Tyson all met Ali before they became famous

very interesting

[jacobnoori]

He has stories for days! He's the best.

[kayc]

People here laughing at his tongue but y'll won't reach what he reached

[ali-iraq-]

When Ali passed away I regret not meeting him, I will not make this mistake with Tyson I hope one day I will meet this legend. Look out for my Tyson :)

[TheEXNLounge]

“Yes, I could do that. Yes.” I think it’s a shame Mike was never given credit for his customer service skills

[BoogieTheMann]

Hahahaha...Mike said "I can do that, yes"...hahahaha

[amapolishplummer]

RIP THE G.O.A.T

No one will come close.

[Jessejec]

It's hard not to love the Mike Tyson of today

[catsinflames]

This makes me sad and happy at the same time.

Sad that he's gone, and happy that I know Mike kept his promise.

[WheelyamEakaPEBBLES]

My back is broken. I broke my back. Spinal.

[RV]

Best story ever! Ali was the greatest sportsman and superstar of all time.

[Thejugglingbum]

I love Mike Tyson. The most vicious champion ever. And now in his later years a very smart and reflective, poetic person.

[Cruyv]

its 4th of June 2016, RIP Mohammed Ali, A true champ, a nation hero, and a brother to us

May Allah forgive you and forgive us from our sins .. We will miss you

[mikeycityify]

I love how humble he is, he said well he got lucky and that his opponent was older.

[mooomy]

I loved his honesty when he said " I was lucky, Larry Holmes was old "
