Here, Mike demonstrates the extent of his seriousness in study, his depth of knowledge studying the psychology and mindset of great conquerors throughout history, and his reflections on the morality of conquering, of ego-centric grandiosity, and the consequences of that. Most striking is his dedication of study - "first I studied the great soldiers, then the generals, then their Gods..."
This man is a lot smarter then he's given credit for.
“No. I am a conqueror now because I’ve conquered myself and my demons”
"When I studied history, I learned about human nature. I learned the hearts of men"
A true historian doesn’t remember names and dates. A true historian grasps the concepts, the reasonings, the questions and perspectives of said time periods. This man fits that picture. I would pay money to take a class with this man at the podium.
Tyson conquered the Boxing arena but most importantly he conquered himself.
I could listen to Tyson talk about conquers and the history of boxing forever
"Greatness is the willingness to die" - Mike Tyson
My favourite trait of Tyson is that EVERY question he gets asked, he thinks long and hard to answer you with every fiber of his being.
As a historian, he actually has a pretty good grasp of history, it was cool to see him talk so knowledgeably about Alexander and his family. As well as hearing him describe a simple version of Alexander's plans for the intermingling of Greek and Eastern culture
Gosh, even Mike's pauses are filled with energy and awe. A philosopher indeed.
Alexander also said to the man Diogenes, basically “if I weren’t me, I’d want to be you.” D replied, “if I were you, I’d want to be Diogenes also.”
Mike really needs to do a series of history lectures. Would be epic
As an historian and teacher of 20 years I would LOVE to take a class with Professor Tyson...he knows his history!
Forget street smarts. Mike Tyson is a street genius!
The intelligence of this man is astounding to me. I was a kid in his prime. I was one of the millions of 8th graders boxing in the backfield after school because they wanted to be like the other Mike. Now as a grown man. With different goal and different ideas than my youth, he is yet again someone I wanna be like. Love u champ
He is wise, WISE, autodidact, deep and very high eloquent pretty much way more wise than a lot of peoole out there having degrees after studying to Harvard.
Everytime Mike says the word " conqueror" I have flashbacks of that infamous interview about Lennox Lewis.
The fact Mike Tyson has consciously taken the time to acknowledge his weaknesses in all the power he possessed and done the research to refine himself is a testament to self-awareness. ✊🏽🖤
When i was little, Mike Tyson was my hero. I am 57 now and I still look up to him for inspiration. I started boxing at 40ish. Get the body going, feed the mind, the rest will follow.
Mike Tyson has to be the most unpretensious JRE interview-he thinks all answers through before giving them and sounds grounded as hell....dude is a total icon.
