The sheer fact that you get Tyson at 20 sitting down with Jake LaMotta is worth suffering through the poor audio.
Tyson being a Fight History Nerd was in heaven getting to hang out with one of the toughest and greatest middleweights of all time.
The Fucking Bronx Bull with Iron Mike!!

EDIT: LOL there is some chirping, in the video, from the guy's smoke detector and it completely fooled me as I thought it was mine and was waiting under one of my detectors for 2 minutes waiting for the sound lol lol lol.

There is another upload in two parts of this interview with better sound and no chirping if you're interested.
I fast forwarded through 6 minutes or so of this interview but it was worth ten minutes of my time.

Thanks Monet, I'll try to find the two part interview and listen to it. Also thanks for the Tyson quotes regarding defensive master Floyd Mayweather. Iron Mike really gets to the truth on everything. Like when he says "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face" or words to that effect. Like you wrote, he really knows boxing history. I remember years ago he had a show about boxing history. I think it was on HBO, but I forgot the name of the show since it was so long ago. He could easily have had a second career as a boxing historian, but of course there is not much money in that (unless you get an HBO boxing history gig, but that only lasts for a limited time), so it would be more for fun.
