Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson in an upset fight.

He's like, Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson. I was like, what the fuck are you talking about? And then I went home and watched it. And even while I knew that Buster Douglas had won, I expected Mike Tyson to get up and kill him. I was like, I can't believe this is happening. That's how much of an upset that was.

Mike Tyson's speed as a heavyweight was an extraordinary gift because heavyweights typically have power but lack the movement of lighter fighters.

The speed of a lighter person in the frame of a heavyweight is an extraordinary gift because so many of these heavyweights, man, they got big power, but like Francis, big power, but they don't move like a lightweight guy. They don't move like a 170-pound guy. When Mike was in his prime, he was so fast. You could see guys trying to calculate and calibrate because it was different. They were used to fighting heavyweights. And all of a sudden, you got this guy bobbing and weaving and moving towards you. And like, ah, it's crazy.

Mike Tyson believes that preventing a predator from killing prey is morally wrong because it starves the predator's offspring.

Sometimes I see a hawk, and he grabs a... It's not a pigeon, but it's like a robin. grabs a bird and I can stop him from killing that bird. But once I stop him from killing that bird, then he dies. His baby died. So who am I saving? How am I right? Because I tell my kids, who's the wrong person?
