I use to box for a few years as a teen, and oh man it gives me the chills just watching that..
its amazing the power he generates is such a small windup
D'Amato died in 85. Tyson lost to Buster in 90. So that wasn't the reason he lost to Buster nor was it his next fight after D'Amato passed away. However, I think Don King ruined him.
Can someone post the straight link to this video? Ever since the iPhone update I can't see embedded videos.

If you have any interest at all in this fighter, I can't recommend the Mike Tyson documentary enough. It really shed a lot of light on what happened to him. Long story short, a trainer got his mind in line and turned him into a powerhouse boxing machine. Then his trainer died, and Mike's mind drifted back out of line. After the trainer's death, Tyson lost his very next fight, which I believe was to Buster Douglas.
I know there will always be the next badass fighter, but honestly, when Tyson was in his prime, he was an animal like no other.

i'll give you top 10...but def not even close to the greatest.
Who Mike or Lennox? Mike isnt even in the top ten all time...Lewis is. I dont think LL is the greatest...no way... Im Italian you know where Im going with that lol...only undefeated hw to retire that way...boo yah!
No seriously Ali or Frazier...Joe Lewis...shit...ooh and one more thing.
Ali would of destroyed Tyson...bad. He would of mentally crushed that mental midget.
Ask Foreman about that....whispering in his ear "thats all you got George??" as the big man beat him nearly to death...
