"Iron" Mike Tyson | All 6 Losses

Buster Douglas lost his mother 11 days before the Tyson fight and he was in training camp, he didn't morn her death because he was so focused. This drove Buster to not fear Mike Tyson at all, Mike Tyson even said he noticed how Buster didn't seem phased and this actually unsettled Mike. Buster's best performance by far.

While the loss to Buster Douglas certainly affected the aura and mystique of Iron Mike, the first loss to Holyfield to me was the one that really broke the image of the invincible Iron Mike Tyson. The loss to Douglas can be attributed to Tyson not taking the fight seriously and was not really prepared, so that was more of a mental loss, but the fight with Holyfield was truly a fight he lost in the ring, as well as the fight with Lewis. The last two L's were just due to a fighter showing his age and clinging on too long.

I remember watching this video a year ago when I was struggling.. Seeing this has brought tears to my eyes. I live much different life now and this video is still here to remind me of how far I have come. Never give up in life. No condition is permanent

Rarely has a fighter ever shown such a feat of raw athleticism as Holyfield did in that first Tyson bout.

It’s almost unreal to see Tyson get knocked out when you see how dominant he was in his prime, just goes to show how anyone can be defeated.

The fall of a legend starts when he believes he is invincible.

For those of us old enough to remember just how ferocious and invincible Tyson was, the moment Douglas dropped him, it was so surreal.

That holyfield feint was pure perfection combined with that step back was beautiful. Nobody did it better in boxing ever...

A 2 point deduction for biting off a chunk of a man's ear?!? More like disqualification!!

Tyson went from being a complete fighter to being a head hunter

out of his 20 years of boxing, ONLY 6 loses.... that's truly something else

The real champ of the 90's, Evander' The Real Deal' Holyfield.

After all of those years,those fights,those boxers whom we loved and hated,I must say we have to appreciate them for entertaining us,being a boxer wasn't easy.I'm missing the '90s. Iron Mike Tyson is still my favorite boxer.I truly wish him well.

The only thing Holifield lacked in his arsenal was true knockout power. Other than that, he was a complete fighter. He might not knock you out, but he would beat the sh*t out of you, lol!

Everyone forgets the loss Mike Tyson suffered on October 18, 1987 at the hands of then 17 year old Little Mac. He was famously trained by Doc Louis.

'Tyson was amazing in his prime'. Beating a 38 year old Larry Holmes and Michael Spinks was literally Tyson's prime and that's all he ever did. His highlight reel knockouts of journeymen and antics outside the ring are the only reason casual boxing fans call him a heavyweight great.

As this legend already won many matches, you get older and tired and you just don't care anymore, it's just another day at the office with this guy... Just too bad he couldn't end his career and ongoing reputations in his predominant time, it's just a bit sad when you keep going for more than you should and then you start losing the time you older and retire!

Tyson was never the same after firing Kevin Rooney. Young Mike was very elusive defensively and worked the body. Post Rooney he became a headhunter and stood in front of his opponents.

Everyone dies, everyone loses. Great fighter in his peak.,

In his prime no one can touch him..... nobody ❤
