    'He [Tyson] throws combinations I never saw before. I was stunned. Nothing is supposed to bother me. I've worked with Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, but I'm seeing [from Tyson] a three-punch combination second to none. When have you seen a guy throw a right hand to the kidney, come up the middle with an uppercut, then throw a left hook?'

    I think everybody who knows boxing will know that Tyson was a special fighter in his prime. Tyson's technical ability was even better than joe frazier, the only difference is tyson didn't have the strong fighters mentality that frazier had, and that's what seperated the fighters.

    When a guys like Dundee & the late, great, Futch, give Praise to Tyson, you have to take note of it because it's come from them - they know what they were/are talking about. How can we argue with such people, who have trained numerous world champions?

    Tyson was a special, special fighter in his day, & I will always maintain that he had the potential, ability & talent, to be head & shoulders above any Heavyweight in history, better than ALL of them by a long way. But it didn't turn out like that for him. And that's life! The Man himself will tell you as much.

    However, as it stands, H2H, Prime for Prime, I have Mike in top-5.

    Thanks

    It's a great book. The problem is Tyson doesnt come out of it looking very good. It goes into detail the way he turned against all of his former team mates, especially Cayton who he called a Jew in a three piece suit and that white mother F***** who stole my money
