So for the first part of my 2 part Mike Tyson blog I basically just posted some of my favorite Tyson quotes.  This entry will focus on what I think are the best Tyson videos on the internet.

With all the silliness around Mike Tyson these days, with his cameo in The Hangover,facial tattoos and appearing on the Spike TV videogame award show with the cast of The Jersey Shore,  its easy to forget what a force this man was when he was in the boxing ring.  These are a few reminders, check it.

This video is from a fight against Francois Botha, what I really like about this video is the announcers, listen to what they’re saying about Tyson throughout the whole video right until he knocks him out.

Two things about this video, check out the combination he unleashes on Bruno*.  Second check out the ref, its Mills Lane.**. “Let’s get it on”

This video is pretty silly, but it only get sillier from here on out.

Interviewer “Mike is that your shortest fight ever?”
Tyson “I’ve bared witness there’s only one god. And Mohammed blessed and peace be upon him in his prophet” blah blah blah.

Interviewer “So.. was this your shortest fight ever? Amateur , professional, ever?”
Tyson”Asa lama lakum maida!… umm. I don’t know man. Yeah, Yeah lennox Lewis I’m comin’ for you… I was gonna rip his heart out i’m the best ever… I WANT YOUR HEAT, I WANNA EAT HIS CHILDREN, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!”

The interview is just over a minute long, and that rant is not even close to the best rant in it.

Two things about this video, ” I’ll eat your asshole alive” and “I’ll fuck you til you love me faggot”.  Everything in between is also gold.

“Are you talking out of turn? I normally don’t do anything with women unless I fornicate with them… So you shouldn’t talk anymore. Unless you wanna, you know…”

Tyson “I went to a strip club and I gave a dancer a lap dancer, but uh”
Interviewer “You gave her a lapdance?”
Tyson “That’s just what I do, I like to do what I want to do”

So Tyson was just on Dancing with the Stars in Italy.  Listen to him scream in the background as they announce his scores.  ” ahhh a 100 ahhh!”

This is probably one of the most “wtf” moments in television history.  Pairing a crackhead and rapist has never been this funny.  Ladies and gentlemen I present to you,  Bobby Brown and Mike Tyson singing Monster Mash.

Whats amazing is ,hypothetically speaking, anyone who didn’t know anything about Mike Tyson was probably just convinced that he is crazy, and I didn’t even have to mention the fact that he once successfully bit off a piece of a man’s ear in front of thousands of people while being watched by millions of people worldwide.  Its pretty sad that for most people the lasting image of Mike is gonna be of him biting off Holyfield’s instead of him at his greatest, in a vampire costume singing Monster Mash.

*up +b, up+b,up+a, up+b, start, start, start, up +b, start, up+ b, start. For you Punch-Out!! fans scoring at home. Basically its hard enough to pull off in a video game, let alone actually pulling it off in the ring.

** the only man in history to star as himself on tv in the courtroom (Judge Mills Lane) and in a claymation death ring (Celebrity Deathmath).
