They built that man to be the champ. Cus Damato built him up from 14 years old. They talked to his mind and trained his body.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

He was head and shoulders above heavyweights of his time when he stayed out of trouble.
I got Holyfield and Lewis ahead of him. In his brief and spotty prime, maybe even Bowe. Guys who weren't scared of Tyson scared Tyson.

He was already done by Holyfield and Lewis. The Robin Givens and Desiree Washington situations took a lot of "stuff" that he never got back. His desire was not the same as when he was younger.
Holyfield had been in WARS prior to fighting Tyson with better opponents and had a hole in his heart. Holyfield was always tougher than Tyson.
"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

This is a good observation. During Tyson's rise he was the one issuing damage. He was never pressed so you can determine his will to win in a sitation that had more equity. His wins were due to being dominant. So you are right, Holyfield has a stronger will to win in a "close" situation where his is not completely dominant.
Incredible talent, had it all to be it all. But was lacking the will and the mindset.

He had a lot of insight I never even know he had. In one of his videos his coaches were showing him videos of the greats back to the mid 1800's, Tyson realized they were "normal people". "Normal people" who decided who they wanted to be in life and trained religiously to get to that level. Very good observation.

In the videos with him and Robin Givens, over time she had him in the "minor" position, as if she was more powerful than he. You can see it on interviews. He had to put up with a lot of emotional crap from her, and also to be cheated on endlessly with other celebrities. That takes a lot out of a man. I wonder if she cvcked him too... That was never mentioned.
maybe.
You're right to wonder.
I read or saw somewhere his new wife is valuable to him because 'he just wants someone to listen to'
Made me think he's a private Submissive.
But a celebrity also knows that close friends and loved ones also read and watch media soundbites on oneself so maybe its that Tomassi Iron Rule of always maintain frame but never let on that you have the frame, to paraphrase.
What doe @FairShake know about Holyfield's history and personal life? Its interesting to learn about Tyson's opponents too.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I don't think he was a submissive, as he was really rough in sex and liked a lot of it. I think he slipped into that position, because he "wanted to be loved".
the boost they referred to in that movie you posted.
Well, geez, don't we all?
Don't we all want to be loved?
mrgoodstuff
Master Don Juan
But a narc might think being "loved" means someone submitting completely to their program and allowing themselves to be dominated.
"loved" means different things to different folks.
N think that? as the dominant you mean.
Someone who submits is definitely not narcississtic. Unless I misunderstood the definition of N when I learned of it last year on yt videos.
I kinda got endeared on Mike thinking about his talent and history this past week. Enamored with him
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Narcisists usually want EVERYTHING to revolve around themselves, so yes their agenda would dominate yours. Tyson is definitely not a submissive in the bedroom, nor in physical dominance situations.
A Narcisist would feel you "love" them if you go along with their agenda, in essense "submitting" your own wishes in deference of their own. You will do things their way. Answer to them.

People that didn't know just thought he was a wild beast, then I discovered he was fanatical about his training. Then his insights, which are actually quite humble. His anger got him into a lot of trouble.I kinda got endeared on Mike thinking about his talent and history this past week. Enamored with him
A couple things, he was probably a PED user, that move up from cruiser to heavy was aided and the hole in his heart i mentioned might have been because of his usage.
He always portrayed himself as a pious man but he had dozen kids from multiple women while he was married.
I wish I could find the article/book but I read once where a boxing commentator said that Evander dreamed about beating Tyson every night of his life, that shows some dedication.
interesting, I'll do some googling later.
