However, nearly 25 years after when the clip made its way to Instagram, fans were left looking back to the good old days. 

Fan claims Tyson was the only boxer who could state his mind 

Since the clip went live, many fans commented on the post. While some spoke about Tyson’s past, others praised Tyson for his ability to speak his mind. One user highlighted Mike Tyson was something else back in the ’90s. The user wrote, “Mike was a different breed in the 90s, a true Alpha.”

Another user suggested that Mike Tyson could say anything he wanted, but no one would bat an eye because of the persona he had crafted around himself. The user wrote, “Only person who was ever able to say anything he wanted and nobody ever dared lmao.”

Meanwhile, this user suggested when Mike said he was ready to knock Kim out, he meant it literally. “He meant with an uppercut, lol,” commented the user. 

Someone else complimented Tyson for his bold personality by writing, “Tyson a Savage inside and outside the ring.”

One user highlighted the comments Tyson used to make in his press conferences about his opponents. The user claimed that nobody addresses those comments to this day. “We still don’t question all that crazy a** s**t he used to say at them press conferences lol,” wrote the user.

Even though decades have passed since Mike Tyson dominated the ring, his fans are still reminiscing about the days Tyson used to rule the ring. And with Tyson’s fight against Jake Paul on July 20 coming up, his fans have double the reason to be excited. What did you think about the clip? Let us know in the comments section below!
