god i love this story SO MUCH. 14 year old tyson telling ali "I'LL GET HIM BACK FOR YOU CHAMP" and then years later ali walking out with tyson for this fight is some movie level stuff. i'll never get tired of watching videos about this fight.
I was 19 years old when Holmes vs Ali fight happened, people have to understand why Holmes was hated so much for beating Ali, Ali was the most popular person in the world, not just America but the entire planet, they used to take global surveys on who was the most popular and admired person and Muhammad Ali was consistently No.1, he was literally a living legend and beloved by the world.
tyson is just a different breed. look at the stark contrast in footwork, head movement, agility, speed, power.tyson was so respectful when cus was alive.
