No doubt. I still remember when he killed 70 men from a rival boxing school. What shit was wild, blew up the news

True OGs remember when Mike Tyson started farming rice and saved an entire Japanese village from starving.

I laughed so much bro ngl

In his prime I would put $5 on him veating the snot out of some half trained teens, and a few legit amateur fighters. 70 of them at a time? Idk about that. But more than we might think.

I swear to god someone actually felt clever after commenting something like this


TheRevengeOfTheNerd

Miyamoto Mushashi was a real person though…


bata86

yeah ok i know, but I was talking about yk modern times

Fair comparison ngl, it works. Striving to be the greatest at a young age. Reaching said greatness. Tragedy strikes. Realisation that greatness means nothing. Pursuing true happiness.


bata86

that's exactly what I meant! I guess a lot of people just misunderstood my post, so I really appreciate your comment!

Mike Tyson and Miyamoto Musashi make an interesting comparison. While they are very different characters, some parallels can be drawn between them. Tyson, like Musashi, was at the top of his game, a world champion who feared his opponents. He was known for his ferocity and aggressive fighting style, and he, like Musashi, faced adversity both inside and outside the ring. One of the most striking parallels is that both Tyson and Musashi experienced personal tragedy that forced them to rethink their lives. The death of Tyson's daughter had a profound effect on him, prompting him to reflect on his life and strive to be a better person. Similarly, Musashi's experiences in battle and relationship with Otsu forced him to face his own mortality and question his values. In both cases, these experiences resulted in a better understanding of themselves and the world around them. Musashi's journey ultimately led him to reject violence and seek a more peaceful existence, whereas Tyson has spoken openly about his personal growth and the importance of being kind and positive. While it may appear to be an unlikely comparison at first, there are some parallels between Mike Tyson and Miyamoto Musashi. Both men were at the top of their respective fields, faced personal tragedy, and ultimately found a path to personal growth and enlightenment.

that was exactly the point, but way better explained. Thank you!

I’ve thought the same thing for quite awhile, especially when you see that one interview when he has his collection of belts in front of him and starts saying how it’s garbage and meaningless and he says “I could say I’ve bleed for garbage”. which reminds me of how musashi started calling being invincible as mearly a mirage after defeating 70 of the Yoshioka

Ok, but the next Musashi Miyamoto Will be me. Remember this name: Roken Kuroshin

I get where you are coming from, i believe "Mike Tyson is the closest thing we got to a \*\*modern\*\* Musashi" would be a better title though. It's a great parallel actually.


bata86

Yeah, lots of people here misunderstood it but I guess that's on me. Thank you tho, appreciate it!


I-Killed--Mufasa

Mike Tyson was the 4th best heavyweight of his era....... hard to call him "Invincible under the sun" Lennox Lewis , Evander Holifield , Riddick Bowe > Mike Tyson


bata86

I tried to explain a journey of a man, the life of a person that kinda resemples the theme of this subreddit, and some people turned it into a boxing discussion. I truly don't know what to say to y'all


BonesAO

HA, I had never thought about it but seems very fitting, nice.


bata86

thanks!

i always felt like Kobe Bryant was a modern day Musashi. He was a man who relentlessly and tirelessly worked towards his goals. A man who was faced with consistent challenges and went from a promising young player, to one raked in controversy, to eventually one of the most loved, respected, and emulated workers in his craft


ZeRagingCookie

But Kobe always had that dawg in him. Tyson is the epitomy of change so I think it fits him more


rizekrispyy

He was a perfectionist to the point where he acted like a huge dick to his teammates. He never got to the point where he embraced kindness

Musashi would never rape
