11, 12, 13, what happens next?
Again, get arrested.
And I see Moham Ali come to the institution that I'm in.
You said you're in jail and Ali shows up?
I'm 12 years old and Ali comes there and they showed the movie the greatest first.
So this is 77.
And after the movie, the lights come up and Ali comes in.
And I see him.
I want to be just like him.
I don't know how to have him the spirit of me.
Boom, I want to be like him.
And then I get transferred to this other facility, you know, for real bad kids.
I met a gentleman there that was a boxer that used to teach me how to box.
So he took me into a great training named Customado, and that's why I'm here.
I respected Ali and I worship Ali.
Yeah, this is the moment I knew I wanted to be a fighter.
I'm scared to death.
I'm totally afraid.
I'm afraid of everything.
I'm afraid of losing, I'm afraid of being humiliated.
But I'm totally confident.
Close I get to the ring, the more confidence I get.
The closer, more confidence I get.
The closer and more confidence I get.
All during my training, I've been afraid of this man.
I thought this man might be capable of beating me.
I've dreamed of him beating me.
But I always stayed afraid of him.
But as close I get to the ring, I'm more confident.
Once I'm in the ring, I'm a god.
No one could beat me.
That's all I needed for him to do that.
And it became personal with me.
For me, anger was good.
Anger was good because it was motivating.
The more I could greet an enemy, the more I wanted to go out and kill those guys.
In the fight, I'm supremely confident.
I'm moving my head.
He's throwing punches.
I'm making the miss and I'm countering.
I'm hitting him to the body.
I'm punching real hard.
And I'm punching him when I'm punching him, I know he's not able to take my punches.
One, two, three punches.
I'm throwing him butt punches and bunches.
He goes down, he's out.
I'm victorious.
Mike Tyson.
Greatest fighter ever lived.
Every time I go in that fucking game and come out, I got a new scratch.
It became personal with me.
Best ever. There's no one that can match me.
I'm the most brutal and vicious and most ruthless champion that's ever been.
They're gonna fear me.
You have to be the champion before you become the champion, so that means lifestyle.
Have to be in before you become him.
You gotta be him before you become him.
That's how it starts.
You look at somebody, I want to be like him.
You don't say, hey, I'm gonna be like him.
You don't say, hey, I'm gonna be him.
I'm a bad moot.
I want to fight everybody out here.
Nobody's going to kick my ass.
You see somebody?
You see, hey, I might want to do that.
Well, greatness is when you make your delusion is your reality.
Nothing's impossible for somebody who's going to try.
If you're going to try, it's capable of being done.
But you'd fight Tyson Fury.
Yeah, I'd fight a line if the price is right.
My whole objective is your total surrender, your total domination.
I'm going to destroy you.
That's why Rogan said, when you said, when you're going to destroy you.
That's why Rogan said, when you...
You watched you, you were intimidated.
Your rage is a very unique rage.
So that's their fault to be intimidating.
How you're going to let's scare you for something you worked for?
I respect a person who's willing to die for what he truly wants.
Ali had the will of win like nobody to ever live in boxing.
He believes he projected to his opponent.
Really look at how does Ali beat George Foreman?
How does Ali be Sonny? Listen, how do he beat these guys?
How did he even beat Joe Frazier?
Fighting the way he fights.
He beats him because he refused.
to lose.
But we have to believe that we're divine and that we learn from our experience because
confidence breeds success and success breeds confidence.
They go hand to hand.
You have to know who you are first.
You know who I am.
People say, it's all the time you this, you that, whatever they say, I know who I am.
Without self-love you're nothing.
The self-love is discipline.
And discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.
I never wanted to be obscure.
I was born in obscurity and I never wanted to deal with that again.
I'm invincible.
I'm a savage.
I'm a smartest savage.
I knew I wouldn't go to die before I became champ.
When this is over, everybody's gonna know my name.
I don't care how good you are in anything.
You don't have discipline.
You ain't nobody.
Because you give up with the slightest struggle without discipline.
Do what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.
You might not know this now, but you don't know this now, but you don't know this.
You're this close, signating your inner champion,
and reclaiming your destiny.
It's just that I want to be up more than anybody in the planet
want me to be down.
Be champion before you become champion.
Wanting to get the best out of yourself,
not competing with anyone else, but you.
You don't back down from anyone,
and that's what got me in trouble.
I don't play games.
I don't kiss anyone's ass.
And I'm a real man.
And that's why, regardless of being a fight in a day,
I'm a man and that's why I want to be a man.
And if I die, I want to die man.
And when you really focus, you hear everything.
When I come to the ring, I notice everybody
can hear you breathing. I can hear you talking.
I hear everything.
When I come out, I have supreme confidence.
I'm scared to death. I'm totally afraid.
I'm afraid of everything. I'm afraid of losing.
I'm afraid of being humiliated.
But I'm totally confident.
Closer I get to the ring, the more confidence I get.
The closer I'm more confidence I get.
I'm more confidence I get, the closer, more confidence I get.
But as close I get to the ring, I'm more confident.
Once I'm in the ring, I'm a god.
No one can beat me.
Did no one stop in the time?
You know my name until the end of time.
That's who I was.
I didn't want nothing until I got something.
And when I said something, I mean the crown.
You knew from the beginning the world was going to know who Mike Tyson was?
100%.
At what age did you know that?
14.
Why is that?
Because I was beating everybody at 14.
More than my skill that had the mindset.
To kill, destroy, break them down.
It's just, I'm the greatest.
You know, success is all about a lifestyle.
I live the lifestyle as a champion at 14.
In order to be the champion, you have to live a lifestyle as a champ.
It's all about discipline, doing what you hate to do, but doing it like you love it.
That's what it's all about.
If you don't have discipline
I don't care how skill for you
You're nothing
You don't be the best ever
Why are you here
Confidence breathed success
And success breeds confidence
It's all about the belief
That you can do it
Belief is more powerful than anything
Only thing we can do is just
Have that focus and believe in ourselves
And believe that I want to be up
Then anybody in the world wants me to be down
And it's all about what like I said before
Self-belief
My whole success is from belief.
I just believe in me.
And I'm going to overcome all my adversity.
The truth set you free, but it's going to make you miserable first.
And that's how we improve as a person, improving ourselves.
You have to first have the aptitude to do what you claim you want to do.
And if you have that, and the determination and the will to win,
there's nothing that you can't do.
Compared to anybody that tries, nothing's impossible then.
Confidence breeds success, success breeds confidence,
and confidence applied properly with superseded genius.
Life is just a circle.
They're going to hate me again one day.
Then God willing, they're going to respect me again one day.
Because in order to be a master, you have to first be a fool, I guess.
You have to believe in yourself before you believe in anything else.
God, you have to believe in you.
And once you believe in you and have a relationship with you, it's nothing that you can't do.
You have to be the champion in this, to be the champion in this.
Win the day.
So that's why exercise is important to leave your stress.
When in the morning, you win the day.
And so I realize life is all about in here.
It's all about your belief system.
Face fear.
Never lose when you face it.
Trust me, never lose when you face fear.
No, our mistakes don't define us.
High points don't define us.
Life defines us.
The long as you can have happy moments, take as many as you can,
because life is just a flick of the eye.
Well, that's what life is about.
You got to sit in your room sometime,
give your subconscious some time and spend time
and just envision yourself doing,
being with the most exciting people in the world,
doing the most exciting things in the world,
and just living that fantasy.
And that fantasy would become reality one day.
Discipline could be taking your illusions
and turn them into a reality.
You dream for yourself something bigger
than what you can ever imagine
and you become it.
Now that's discipline.
In order to be able to change anything,
you have to change yourself.
And then have to look in the mirror and say,
what are I going to do to make me a better person?
Or what is it that I can do?
I could define myself as being a better person
that I am now. You know, who can I help? Who can I worship? Who can I do something to a wit
that would make me feel like a better person to help me reach my highest potential? You have to find that for us.
What is it that I can do? Help people. You know, that's all I think about. How can we help somebody?
Visualizing, looking into the mirror, and that's what it's all about touching your inner core of your
consciousness. I don't believe in talent. Well, some people, they have talent. That's good. It helps when you have time.
As long as you have a lot of determination and willpower, that's all you need.
And you have to have the will to win.
I think anybody with the will to win and desire not to lose will or succeed.
I would think of myself as a roaring gladiator, like Alexander the Great.
I feel like I'm a ruler when I'm in my mind thinking about accomplishing something.
I think possible, nothing's impossible to somebody who tries.
So I never think about failure in that perspective
I think about feeling but not in that perspective
I need the pressure
Without the pressure there's no me
Without the pressure I don't have the guts to say
Hey I'm gonna fight this guy
I have to have the pressure
Anything that I'm afraid to do I do it
And that's just how I live by life
The more you're comfortable with you
The more you be comfortable with death
And the more comfortable you are with death
The more peace you are with yourself
I knew never to get discouraged.
I knew I would get my day if I continued to try hard and believe in myself.
And I'm going to die being who I am, and I'm going to live being who I am.
This is just who I am.
It's all about what you believe.
I got belief in myself, and belief is more powerful than anything.
Unfreaking believable store.
So your inspiration happened at 12 years old.
Then you meet Cuss.
Yes.
How is Cuss treating you?
What was his way of leading you?
Yes, a degree of his peeling.
all that dirt and stuff that insecurity and developing into character.
And that's why I had a wonderful time with him.
But everything about his life was about me.
All is one big school and a weird student of this world.
The mind is always hungry.
The mind wants to do good, but we get so many negative thoughts
in our mind is almost overwhelming to be positive.
Listen, I've been down and up, down and up, broken up.
And why am I still here?
Because life is going to give everybody a bad hand.
No one's going to leave here without being tried in life.
So inspiration.
So is that what got you to be willing to be disciplined
to get what you want, like to become a champion?
At 14 years ago, I'm willing to do everything it takes to be a champion?
Absolutely.
And then I had cuss over there telling me why should he have it?
That's one day I never had in my life.
Because I always got picked on it.
I never had jealousy.
envyness about anything.
And Cuss possessed that, you know,
and he was telling me, why should he have all that money
and you don't?
Why do you believe that he's better than you?
Why do you think he should have all that money and you don't?
And he was really serious about it.
And that's what the competition.
That's the right thing, breathing that stuff right in me.
Why should he have and he's not better than you?
How did you handle that when he told you that, 14?
Would it piss you off?
where you're like, I'm gonna go train to whoop his ass
and get there one day, what was your response to it?
He said one day, this guy knew how to really get in my head.
He said, man, you're fighting good, but I wish you were bigger.
I wish you were like Kenny Norton and Mike Wheeler
because they had big body when they could intimidate somebody.
And that hurt my feeling.
I said, I make sure the whole world will be afraid of me.
He trained me to be totally ferocious in the ring and out.
Yeah, and that's what I was.
That's what I was.
Push yourself more.
Push yourself when you sometimes you have to submit to yourself.
I'm doing everything.
First day in the morning, three in the morning, do your four miles, come back in.
Three in the morning.
Yeah.
You four miles come back and do your body exercise and all that.
After that, I go after eat breakfast, go to the school, come back from school, eat mine.
Then I go back to the gym at 6 o'clock, train, come back at 8 o'clock, watch fights, start all over again.
Everybody here is gonna fight for what they love for.
They never had a fist fight in their life, they're gonna fight.
Listen, once I'm involved in something, I want to know the beginning
and I wonder what came from, how it started,
who's the first guy that invented it, that's just how my mind works.
How could these guys even dare fight me?
How dare you even think that you could beat me?
And you sound like a mathematician when you're talking about the art of boxing.
I was born for it.
There's nothing I would do unless I'm not.
I have a possibility of being humiliated,
because when I succeed, I truly succeed.
I was bred to climb high and high into the sky
and tumble down.
I am truly grateful that I found my wings
before I hit the ground.
I hate the whole aspect of the warrior mentality
and the duration of it.
That's probably the main part,
the length of how long you have to go through that psychological warfare.
It takes tolls on.
Yeah.
That kind of stuff.
It's just really rigid.
If you become the best, you have to almost become fanatical.
You know, this is my life.
This is all I live for.
This is my air.
This is everything.
Yeah, I guess most athletes feel that way.
Yeah.
They have one of those old-time trainers in there,
have that particular type of method of training.
Yeah.
It just becomes your life, so you can do this in your sleep
because it's so regimen it.
Sometimes it's hard to accept who you are.
You know, sometimes that's something.
I see young kids out here and they come inside
and they don't like who they are in prison.
And it's really difficult to accept who you are in this world
because really we don't know.
But then in order to have friends you have to be putting
this particular kind of, I don't know,
you have to be labeled, so to speak, you know.
So we don't know who we are.
Right.
To we get, I guess, to a certain degree of evolution.
It's just dedicating and sacrificing your life
to be in a particular way you want to be able to,
like you want to conduct, say you want to be like Tony Robbins.
You get all the information you can about Tony Robbins,
and you conduct, this is how I want to live my life.
This is almost like, this is your manuscript.
This is what I'm going to do.
Yeah.
And I'm going to live like Tony.
I'm not going to be Tony Rob, but I'm going to live it.
I'm going to conduct myself like Tony Robbins.
Yeah.
So you got to live it, you got to breathe it.
Yeah.
And you have to be that before you actually be
You're not going to become the person.
Interesting.
You're not going to become the person.
You think you're prepared to be Tony Robbins right now.
Tomorrow you're Tony Robbins.
You didn't know.
It's going to take time.
So I'm going to become this guy.
You know, I'm going to be this guy before.
You're not ready.
But when time comes, you're going to be ready.
You're going to be Tony Robbins.
This is my life.
I'm accustomed.
Of course I got this role.
Of course I got this job.
Of course I got this ready.
I prepared for it.
You wouldn't need to be surprised.
Everything changes when my classes change.
You know, I never understood my class.
My class has changed.
struggle you know I had everything I wanted but still I was I was fighting the
light my dark spirit was still fighting the light that was my struggle you
couldn't I couldn't get anything done what's the question you wish you could
have answered school am I why that's my purpose here yeah I can say my purpose is
to be the best person I could possibly be before I die you know what I mean
that could be my purpose in life see how far we can go in life before we die
Yeah.
You know?
But suppose, um, people don't think in that perspective.
That's what I love who they told me, because I'm talking some, I think I'm talking from glamour and shit.
I'm talking about some fly shit.
And he was telling me, I'm Mike, you know, there's some people that live in the outskirts of
fucking Ohio or somewhere, and they live simple lives and that's all they want to do, Mike.
Enjoy a life?
This shit we're talking about, thought we nothing.
Nothing.
Like, they're ready to die, made to meet God, taking care of kids, the people.
love or may go on a vacation.
You never go on a vacation.
I leave the town, but this is just a simple life.
This is what makes them happy.
Yeah.
And I really come in a place.
If you're nothing, if you're something, you're nothing.
Mm-hmm.
You know, isn't that so fucking shower?
If you're not something, you're nothing,
what's my definition of something?
Mm-hmm.
Somebody who had a fucking water,
why the money in their pocket?
I have no fucking concept of humanity.
It's what life is.
It's trying to figure shit out.
You just go with the flow.
I know my demons, and I realize in life,
everybody's gonna really find them out eventually.
You think you're gonna hide that shit.
It doesn't work that way.
So you just started to forgive yourself on things?
Pretty much.
Yeah.
You know, it comes around, yeah.
Wow.
I'm not gonna, hey, my fuck, that all that's cool, man.
God love you.
That's bullshit.
I don't function.
I don't think that.
I don't think that.
God leaves you to figure it out.
You're doing yourself.
Is it cool?
It's cool.
It's not.
You figure it out.
It's hard to be kind
when you're trying to be the best
at the same time too, huh?
Yeah, but that's the part of discipline.
Discipline is separating it until,
you know, you have to do what you hate to do,
but do it like you absolutely love it with vigor
and do the animal.
If I had more time, I could be even better
than what I am.
Yeah, and if I had more time,
I could probably
write through all the wrongs.
than I did.
I had more time I could love spending the time with my kids.
My dad, kids.
Oh, was your prayer.
You just could always try hard and see what's going to happen.
Listen, I've been worse than this.
I've been in the worst situation than I've ever been.
And I didn't give up then.
Why am I going to give up now?
I'm at the height of my life now.
Why am I going to give up?
I love that.
What the hell am I doing?
I love that.
This is a dream right now.
I'm afraid of lying if the price is great.
My family was about.
and I'm bombing.
Is it still in you or it's left you?
Hey, when I needed it, it comes back.
Life is going to give everybody a bad hand.
No one's going to leave here without being tried in life.
Adversity makes the strong stronger or the weak weaker.
My whole objective is your total surrender, your total domination.
I'm going to destroy you.
Confident breeds success and success breeds confidence.
It's all about the belief that you can do it.
Belief is more powerful than anything.
The world was going to know who my country.
Tyson was.
100% yeah.
This world is one big school,
and we're the students of this world.
I'm wealthy because I'm valuable.
I'm not valuable because I'm wealthy.
The mind is always hungry.
The mind wants to do good,
but we get so many negative thoughts
in our mind is almost overwhelming
to be positive.
There's so much power in humbleness.
When I'm promoting the fire,
I say I arrange these things,
but I know the power of humbleness now.
How did you learn that?
I have to lose everything.
It's like this.
The truth set you free,
but it's going to make you miserable,
And that's how I live my life.
At what point did you know that you could be the heavyweight champion?
14. You have to be the champion before you become the champion, so that means lifestyle.
Have to be him before you become him.
You gotta be him before you become him.
Look at somebody, I want to be like him.
You don't say, hey, I'm a bad mof.
I want to fight anybody out here, nobody's going to kick my ass.
You see somebody and say, hey, I might want to do that.
More than that skill, I had a mindset, you know, more than my skills I had the mindset.
Kill, destroy, break them down.
It's just, I'm the greatest.
I'm losing, too.
I'm getting beat.
I'm getting knocked out.
I'm never getting discouraged, though.
Listen, the ups and downs are not over, believe it or not.
In life.
And the only thing we can do is just have that focus and believe in ourselves
and believe that I want to be up,
then anybody in the world wants me to be down.
And it's all about, like I said before, self-belief.
My whole success is from belief.
Check it out.
Something I can feel, but not actually see.
You can inspire desire, but can you teach it?
I don't know.
I never had to try to teach anybody that.
Nobody had to teach you the fire, because you had it.
It was within you.
Well, no, it wasn't definitely within me.
You know, somebody had to bring it out and show that I deserve to have.
I have to learn self-love.
You know, no, I don't care how great you are and how much you succeed.
Without self-love, you're nothing.
Because self-love is discipline.
And discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.
If you don't have discipline, I don't care how skill for you are.
You're nothing.
You're just dedicating and sacrificing your life to be in a particular way you want to be.
You want to be like Tony Rob, and you get all information you can about Tony Rob.
and you conduct you, this is how I want to live my life.
This is almost like, this is your manuscript.
This is what I'm going to do.
I'm not going to be Tony Robbins.
I'm going to conduct myself like Tony Robbins.
And you have to be that before you actually become the person.
Interesting.
You're not going to become the person over there.
You think you're prepared to be Tony Robbins right now.
Tomorrow you're Tony Robbins.
You didn't know.
It's going to take time, so I'm going to become this guy.
You know, I'm going to be this guy before because you're not ready.
But when time comes, you're going to be ready.
You're going to be Tony Robbins.
This is my life.
I'm accustomed to this, of course I got this role,
of course I got this job, of course I got this rate.
I prepared for it.
You wouldn't even be surprised.
Reason why they didn't have the discipline
because they allow their mind to take over
and say you can never beat him.
Everybody here is gonna fight for what they love for.
Isn't they never had a fifth fight in their life?
They're gonna fight.
What are you thinking about?
What are you going to bed with?
What are you doing throughout the day?
The world will know my name till the end of time.
That's what I go to bed thinking.
Did you do a lot of visualizing, knock him about?
Oh, that's what it's all about.
Visualizing, looking into the mirror, self-hypnotism,
and that's what it's all about,
touching your inner core of your consciousness,
your self-conscious, please me.
You have to first have the aptitude to do what you claim you want to do,
and if you have that,
and the determination and the will to win,
there's nothing that you can't do.
You know, impossible is nothing.
compared to anybody that tries, nothing's impossible then.
You know, that's the total belief in yourself.
Confidence breeds success, success breeds confidence.
And confidence applied properly with superseded genius.
Well, that's what life is about.
You got to sit in your room sometime, give your subconscious some time,
and spend time, and just envision yourself doing,
being with the most exciting people in the world,
doing the most exciting things in the world,
just living that fantasy and that fantasy would become reality one day.
What's your existence about who are you?
Do you understand this world?
Do you really believe that, you know, who are we?
You really believe we are who we are.
Our age is the age that Julius Caesar said it was.
Who are you?
How do we exist with knowing nothing but what people told us?
You have to believe in yourself before you believe in anything else.
God, we're living.
You have to believe in you.
And once you believe in you and have a relationship with you, it's nothing that you can't do.
And that's just what it is.
That's just the way the universe made it.
Why do you think so many people lack a belief in themselves or in what's possible for them?
Because they were never taught belief.
They were never taught self-belief.
They were only taught commercial religion.
And it wasn't successful, so to speak.
And so people don't understand the concept of living,
so they want to live the way they want to live.
They don't want to do religion.
Matter of fact, they want to be their own God.
They're going to run their own show.
And that's just, that's disastrous because maybe it's not.
Maybe it's not.
Because in order to be a master, you have to first be a fool, I guess, right?
So, yeah, you're right on the right path.
I won't take that as an insult.
No, it's not an insult, please.
Thank you.
I'm a strong belief that anybody you fight is not your enemy
and everybody helps you as your friend.
With everything you've been taught your whole life
and then it comes the time you realize was a lie.
Now how do we start from here?
We live in our lie.
Yeah.
You have to make up our own lie and live in this lie.
It's gonna take it until you find if you checked
and try to figure out till the day you die, you would never figure it out.
You guys say reinvent myself.
It's just that I want to be up.
more than anybody in the planet want me to be down.
And that's just what it's all about.
Wanting to get the best out of yourself,
not competing with anyone else, but you.
And that's how we improve as a person,
improving ourselves to an emotional level
where sometimes you can feel superior.
But it's superior in a good way
because we share a lot of love
and everybody's going to be superior in that same level
because that's what it's all about,
everybody being equal.
Some people have more flamboyant jobs, more money, but the psychology of just brotherly love, sisterly love, and we just have to get along. That's just what it is.
