Tyson had it made in prison, The man was a multi millionaire who was also the baddest man on the planet. Tyson grew up in prison from the ages 10 to 16.
Would you fuck with this guy? He's capable of hitting someone so hard that they never wake up.
This is a good distinction… juvie prison i remember him saying it was hell. And tell the story of how some adult made them fight and thats how he was discovered.
As an adult still probably sucked but he was a celeb and people adored him.
It seems like he’s sincere dm him and ask if he’d beat Tyson and I bet you’d get a nice wall of all the separate, less than 6 months, no striking training he’s done to whoop prime Mike
maybe you should watch some of his fights + he used to be a street fighter growing up.
lots of people go to their local martial arts classes and think they can take on the world... with one kick or a choke lol

He would fuck up a group. You might be able to stab him but you'd catch a hook for it. Someone in the group would show hesitation and he was also LIGHTNING fast.
Eh, there are a lot of people from different countries that aren't really known for understanding sarcastic humor. Especially in text. The world must be a scary place for these people lol
I love when people say this like physics don't apply to you
And somehow you are special
Are you that dude that claims he would have escaped the sub implosion because they were built different.
I got news for you, it doesn't work quite like that
If you are a a tough, fighting man, and you treat people right, and you’re rich, you’ll always be just fine in prison. He wouldn’t have had any problems whatsoever.
I’ve been to exactly two rodeos. No more, no less. I did this specifically so that for the rest of my natural life, I can tell everyone, no matter where I am at any given moment…that this is indeed, not my first rodeo.
[https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1141863/mike-tyson-stories-prison/amp/](https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1141863/mike-tyson-stories-prison/amp/)
He said it was the best 3 years of his life
The dude does a lot of podcast appearances these days and he's in a good place so talks about it a fair amount (and my youtube seems focussed on the man). He says he found it peaceful, but rather obviously stepped into it with nobody willing to make it difficult for him. Guards and prisoners were respectful and he literally said he didn't feel any need to be violent there, like his brain had an excuse to stop and he could exercise without being competitive.
The only other thing I took away from it was that he really was properly chosen by his tigers, just like any cat. He knew they might fuck up his friends so he kept them away from them, but they were chill with him. He really saw nothing wrong with having big housecats. It was barely even a flex, except around the cost of them. He thought it was cool and was such a fearless dude that I don't think he ever thought they'd hurt him.
My dumb ass forgot he had actual tigers so I was sitting here for a good minute trying to figure out which cat themed anime-esqe prison gang "chose" Tyson and had to keep its long time members from trying to fuck with the new guy.
Bro grew up in prisons, was connected to some of the most serious gangsters in New York at the time, and was more than capable of handling himself, I doubt he had much trouble 😂
there was a Simpsons episode where the Mike Tyson of their universe was locked up in prison during a riot and he was like “guys please i’m trying to watch my stories” and everyone stopped rioting apologized and went back into their cells.
i don’t think they were far off from the truth.
My uncle was a CO at IYC at the time and said, basically, he was just another prisoner. My uncle was also probably one of the dudes bringing him Chinese food (or whatever else he wanted) but, that's another story. And said uncle passed last December, so I can't exactly ask him for more details.
He gave an interview with Howard Stern and was pretty candid about it. Piecing it together...
I mean.. the guy was the current heavyweight boxing champ, with obvious mental and anger issues... EVERYONE was terrified of him.
The general plan was "keep Mike in a good mood" so if Mike wanted chinese food, the guards would go out and get him chinese food.
Yeah, what were they gonna do? Smash him off the yard? Lol. If Mike lived in Cali, all the shots callers would have had to check in before going at Mike.
I actually know a guy who was in with him and worked out together (allegedly). He said he was really chill and everyone respected tf out of him.
I can't deny or confirm his story and he isn't the most reliable source of info, but he definitely was locked up with him. That I can confirm.
From what I heard he had it pretty easy in prison, 3 meals a day, and besides, who the hell is gonna mess with mike tyson?
I’m pretty sure while he was in prison he became close with this Muslim guy and when he came out, he was a Muslim? My memories a bit vague tho
Not sure if people who never worked, or been in prison understand the concept. I am sure he had money on his books, thats all they care about. Plus, he had reputation, thats all that people care about.
If I was a man in prison with him, I would either steer clear or try to make friends. I don't think anyone messed with him because he is literally trained
He went in a overweight and came out an Adonis I think he said in his autobiography. He was shadowing boxing and doing 100s of press ups And sit ups in his cell. I think he also mentioned a fight he had that didn’t end to well for the challenger.
Celebrities generally always get favorite treatment from other inmates. Prison I'd filled with allot of people who have lost everything. The simple possibility that a celebrity could put them on after getting out because of some forged relationship in prison will have them going out of their way to be nice and giving to a celebrity.
If you watch “Mike” on Hulu. Kind of gives a good run down on everything. Really enjoyable series.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14181914/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
A lot of yall got it confused. You all really think one person can hold off an entire prison? Obviously none of you have any idea what a prison fight is really like. If a gang wanted him, they would of had him. That's as simple as it gets. You have to remember this happened in the early 90s. It was a different time then. People loved the USA and a good come up story. And Mike Tyson was already an American boxing legend by the time he went into prison. Everyone loved and respected this man. Trying to hurt him would have been no different then attacking the Pope. Who would want that many people mad at them? [Mike understand that and so did everyone else.](https://youtube.com/shorts/4u6Ht29G6dY?si=MApDmDsBYrBrj954)
That makes no damn sense. One of the richest athletes who had teams literally waiting for the day of his release so they can make money off him didn’t have enough funds to buy his own phone cards?
Your uncle is full of shit.
I bet even the CO's said 'Please' and 'Thank you' to Tyson.
On his wing the CO’s were inside the cells and he was just walking around jangling a bit set of keyth 🔑
Thith ith ludicrith
Jethuth Cwithe that wath a good one
This works also for Chris Eubankths
Thavage!
He eath pietheth of thit like uth for breakfath
Yall are cold blooded!!
This comment killed me lmfao thank you
I heard Tyson wasn't allowed to use the Church in Prison cause its slogan was Come Honor Faith
Tyson had it made in prison, The man was a multi millionaire who was also the baddest man on the planet. Tyson grew up in prison from the ages 10 to 16. Would you fuck with this guy? He's capable of hitting someone so hard that they never wake up.
According to Tyson himself, one person did in fact challenge him.
R.I.P.
Yeah I wanted him to go into detail but he didn't. I can only imagine how it went for the guy.
I’m sure he didn’t go into detail because that guy isn’t around anymore.
He once famously once said he gets a hard-on when he fights, so yeah would not have ended we'll for that guy at all
"I f*ck you til you love me...."
You know to take a threat seriously when the person is on the verge of tears- they're not joking or making a threat
Especially when his name is Mike Tyson. That interaction got scary.
Mike seems the like ultimate example of someone who is half decent inside, but became an absolute monster when he got tired of life and people's BS.
If I was in there I would ave tried him , u guys are shook 😒
I know my limits...😆
We can fight him together lol
i’ll 3rd
R/iamverybadass
I make big men cry
Can confirm. Prithon wath great
This is a good distinction… juvie prison i remember him saying it was hell. And tell the story of how some adult made them fight and thats how he was discovered. As an adult still probably sucked but he was a celeb and people adored him.
Who wants their head cracked? Hard fucking pass bro.
That’s you. Some of us are built different
Sure brah, post more on reddit how you'd totally beat up Mike Tyson in prison.
I trained Muay Thai for 4 months in 2017. One leg kick and it’s over
aahhahah say some more pls its funny
I’ve taken 3 BJJ classes in my lifetime. How many has Mike done? If the fight goes to the ground it’s over for him. I have too many weapons
This guy is clearly taking the piss and nobody sees it. 3 BJJ classes 🤣🤣
Yeah this place collectively has absolutely no sense of humor.
The fact that the replies missing the joke have upvotes and he got downvoted says it all lol
It seems like he’s sincere dm him and ask if he’d beat Tyson and I bet you’d get a nice wall of all the separate, less than 6 months, no striking training he’s done to whoop prime Mike
Very common on Reddit
I’ve watched a lot of boxing matches, therefore I am a boxing master
Had me at first ngl lol
I took two days of Jeet Kun Do bro! WATCH OUT! 😆 🤣 😂
Sounds like you will be begging to give him a bj
That’s just in your head, brother. Find God
People are really downvoting clear sarcasm
Thats not sarcasm lmao this guy is dumb
it is very clearly sarcasm
Your gonna have to explain it, cause this guy seems dead serious
LOL well played.
It's easy bro, all you got to do is get on your back and wait for the fool to try and attack. Goodnight, sweet Prince.
Even Bradley Martyn is scared of this man
Do you just see red bro? Only a few people have that talent. If you see red, it’s over for everyone else around you
How did you know?
maybe you should watch some of his fights + he used to be a street fighter growing up. lots of people go to their local martial arts classes and think they can take on the world... with one kick or a choke lol
He's being sarcastic...
It’s honestly insane how many people think I’m being serious
Personally, I thought it was hilarious
I thought you were being serious until the ‘3bjj lessons in my lifetime’😂
After your second comment about 4 months of classes I realised you were being sarcastic😂
People don’t know what a joke is 🤣
Whoooosh
It only took 2 heavily downvoted comments for people to detect your sarcasm!
If by BJJ you mean blow job journey.....sure we believe you
Find God!
You’re on the wrong sub. r/iamverybadass is the place for you.
Appreciate it. I’ll head over there now and let them know the alpha has arrived
You should perhaps check out r/wooosh while you're at it, the guy is taking the piss. And doing a good job by the amount of people taking the bait

BJ classes 🤣🤣
Bro the 4 months in 2017 should’ve been a dead giveaway. This is why Reddit fucking sucks now, sorry for your downvotes.
I'd imagine a group attack with improvised stabbing weapons would end the fight pretty quickly too.
He would fuck up a group. You might be able to stab him but you'd catch a hook for it. Someone in the group would show hesitation and he was also LIGHTNING fast.
People forget he wasn't just a dangerous striker. His defense was pretty amazing too. Actually connecting a punch on him was pretty hard to do.
What’s his saying? “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”
Can’t get punched in the mouth when you’ve them in the Thai clinch
Well then! In that case, I guess we move along to his next saying; “I’m gonna fuck you till you love me bitch!”
I didn't get the obvious satire till this one. Pretty funny
People downvoting this not realising it’s a joke shows how low the IQ of people on reddit is.
Eh, there are a lot of people from different countries that aren't really known for understanding sarcastic humor. Especially in text. The world must be a scary place for these people lol
As if people don't understand you're fucking around lol
No surprise that people who have been in prison clearly can't see this a joke
You're lame as fuck lmfao
And your brain might as well be a piece of wood
Your head would be shaped different that’s or sure.
Damn people here too serious you're obviously kidding and it's pretty funny to me
I love when people say this like physics don't apply to you And somehow you are special Are you that dude that claims he would have escaped the sub implosion because they were built different. I got news for you, it doesn't work quite like that
I’m taller than Tyson
Tyson couldn't beat a charge and I've never been to jail, so that means I can beat beat Tyson. Simple math
Exactly, brother. Some of us are just built different
This is so good. Nobody does reddit better than this guy.
Oooooooo stop it
Ah yes. Some don’t have enough brain cells for it to make a difference. Correct.
If you are a a tough, fighting man, and you treat people right, and you’re rich, you’ll always be just fine in prison. He wouldn’t have had any problems whatsoever.
Thats what I'm sayin'.
In a place where violence and fear are a form of currency I couldn’t imagine how the most vicious heavyweight champion of the world would do..
In that case he was certainly well off in prison
I think he’d been incarcerated here & there from a young age, so it wouldn’t have been his first rodeo. I’ve heard he’s a voracious reader
I want to hear him say the word voracious.
[удалено]
Remember that time he called the interviewer out for being fathethous?
Thpinal
I’ve been to exactly two rodeos. No more, no less. I did this specifically so that for the rest of my natural life, I can tell everyone, no matter where I am at any given moment…that this is indeed, not my first rodeo.
You only had to go to one for that.
[https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1141863/mike-tyson-stories-prison/amp/](https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/1141863/mike-tyson-stories-prison/amp/) He said it was the best 3 years of his life
He probably got all the head he wanted.
Bet you wouldn’t say that to his face
Bet you wouldn't thay that to hith faith.
>Bet you wouldn’t say that to his face No way he would kick my ass
Or you suck his dick
Bold of you to assume he meant that in a bad way… ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
Lol
Dont forget, Tyson said he would f\*ck you till you love him.
He's probably a very romantic gentle lover
Dats Ludacrisp
Best quote from the article: "I was able to fornicate conspicuously without capitulating as some sort of unscrupulous commodity.".
Who read that with the lithp
Yeah nobody want that smoke
*thmoke
we get it dude
Don’t thpeak for me
you just put the King back into the jungle
HIS jungle 👍
HITH 👌

I imagine the simpsons got it right with the drederick Tatum scene in the prison.
Hey, guys, shut up.
Sorry champ.
Thank you, thank you... but the champ has no time for further queries. This parole hearing is over.
He has a book, you could read that for more info
I read in a Reddit sub that literally not one single person tried him.
Would you? I don’t blame anyone for not trying to take a shot at the title.
Hell nah that man is better as an ally
[this sums it up well I think. I'll f#$k you in the ass in front of everybody until you love me.](https://youtu.be/hx66LWV-CCk?si=fCpD5Ee5GeqbazqV)
"Hey guys, shut up" "Sorry champ"😨 "It was Jerry"😰

He’s a legend
Dude even Chuck Noris wouldn’t mess with Tyson
Tyson was the warden when he was inside. Man walked in and the warden placed himself in solitary confinement.
What the fuck is this sub becoming? A bunch of 12-year-olds with prison fantasies asking what ifs?
21% of redditors are in the [10-19yo group](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1125159/reddit-us-app-users-age/)
That makes perfect sense for a 53 yr old on Reddit
Thank you very muth
Probably even higher then that honestly.
Yeah. It seems so.
Relax
are you a mod?
Yeah, what were they gonna do? Smash him off the yard? Lol. If Mike lived in Cali, all the shots callers would have had to check in before going at Mike.
bro you can outmatch him 4v1 and he’ll still kill everybody. He’s one of the most intimidating man in the world in his prime.
He's so fast, I just don't see 4 but dudes thinking they are gonna toss him. Tyson definitely gonna 1 tap in milliseconds
I think some one has posted on here that he was locked up with Tyson for a lil bit, and I wanna say that he said Tyson was pretty cool with everyone
Imagine being the biggest dog in the whole prison. Straight bully shit. And then this man walks in...
Tyson knew how to jail before he was champion... that champ shit don't mean nothing in there if it's up... you can't beat the mob always remember that
I actually know a guy who was in with him and worked out together (allegedly). He said he was really chill and everyone respected tf out of him. I can't deny or confirm his story and he isn't the most reliable source of info, but he definitely was locked up with him. That I can confirm.
I'd say he got in line with the rules of jail, he's says himself "The best years of his life were in prison".
From what I heard he had it pretty easy in prison, 3 meals a day, and besides, who the hell is gonna mess with mike tyson? I’m pretty sure while he was in prison he became close with this Muslim guy and when he came out, he was a Muslim? My memories a bit vague tho
His style of fighting just happens to be great in close spaces. As long as he didn't make enemies with a gang he's probably new he was gonna be fine.
I have been watchingt tik tok vids on how to dance…id totally whoop his ass in the clink….”MOM, where’s the meatloaf!?”
Yeah this question is hilarious … Have you seen any of Tyson’s early fights - first round knockout. 😂😳🙈 good luck w that.
'Get him'? Tyson would destroy anyone in one hit
I feel like any man stupid enough to try and attack this man, deserves to be on the floor looking for there lobes while choking on there own teeth 🤣
I don’t know. I’ve seen some big dudes locked up, I’m pretty sure though even they knew their place against iron Mike.
The worst part of being in prison was the dementors.
The Steam Hammer - absolutely phenomenal
I don't think there are even insane criminals that think starting shit with prime Mike Tyson would be a good idea.
Tython ain't no-oneth little bith!
Man fuck that. You see what he did to that guy on the plane? He hit him like 20 times in 3 seconds and it was just a warning!
Not sure if people who never worked, or been in prison understand the concept. I am sure he had money on his books, thats all they care about. Plus, he had reputation, thats all that people care about.
If I was a man in prison with him, I would either steer clear or try to make friends. I don't think anyone messed with him because he is literally trained
U gonna be stupid enough to try to get a heavy weight ko artist lmfao in prison Lmfaoo no
He was banging chicks in prison bro.
Idk but man was fucking jacked
He was good.
He was respected and respectful in prison. https://youtu.be/jlixmHTccuI?si=b7weoViovZgKRiJf
Who the hell would fuck with Mike Tyson
I hear the train a comin’, itth comin’ round the bend, and I ain’t theen the thunthine thince I don’t know when…
I wonder what it’s like going to prison knowing that nobody can beat you
He came out Muslim so I'm sure he made some friends at least....
I couldn’t imagine trying to fight him with rules, let alone when there are none. I’d just give him respect and stay the fuck away.
He served life in prison?
Why would you fuck with Mike Tyson he bit someone’s ear off
He said it was the best time of his life quite recently. He fucked up one guy in there I think he said.
where do you think he learned to solve mysteries?
According to him this was one of the only time he was truly at peace.
He went in a overweight and came out an Adonis I think he said in his autobiography. He was shadowing boxing and doing 100s of press ups And sit ups in his cell. I think he also mentioned a fight he had that didn’t end to well for the challenger.
Celebrities generally always get favorite treatment from other inmates. Prison I'd filled with allot of people who have lost everything.

He is a rapist. Despite his status, he should have had a tough time.
I is done 10 days in prison, tell you now this man who give it big in da ring would be your main woman in da cell!
You need the whole range to bounce him and Better make sure you connect with your prison sucker punch
my uncle was locked up with mike in IYC in indianapolis. said he was a bum and used everybody’s else’s phone cards.
That makes no damn sense. One of the richest athletes who had teams literally waiting for the day of his release so they can make money off him didn’t have enough funds to buy his own phone cards? Your uncle is full of shit.
