Mike Tyson's skills..

Agility, speed, power and chin aren't skills. They are talent and intangiables.

Tyson doesn't have to be likened to anyone. He is simply Mike Tyson.

 

The comparison has been made before. Others worth mentioning include Terry McGovern and Sam Langford.

 

With or without Rooney? With Rooney, as you know, Tyson had no equals save Hercules. Without Rooney? More of a Butterbean type.

 

Battling Torres.

 

The obvious comparison with the peekaboo style is Patterson.

 

Battling Torres was more like Tyson than Patterson. Patterson was more like Tyson crossed with Emile Griffith (in that he would sit back a bit more and box on occasion using a Griffith-esque jab n' bob), whereas Torres looked like a scaled down Tyson; same movements and traits. He just didn't have a very good chin and was probably not quite the hitter Tyson was (in a pound-for-pound sense).

 

he's way more skilled then he gets credit for

 

Miguel Canto

 

never heard the comparison but definitely worth some thought:think

 

name all the heavyweights that were also ranked p4p #1? It's a short ****ing list and tyson was the best fighter in the world for a stretch, and it wasn't solely because of his power

 

It really isnt.

Youve fell for that one
