    I don't know how underrated his defense is. Most people who know boxing know that before he started losing his mind Tyson was one of the best defensive heavyweights of all time, maybe the very best defensive heavyweight ever.

    Mike Tyson gets very little credit for how complete he was. Everyone likes to repeat cliches about how he was a mental midget, and was an overrated boxer who KTFO a bunch of cans.

    I'm honestly not trying to be a smartarse here,but in the prime years,I was well aware that Mike had a fabulous defence.It was just lost on the casual fans.
    I remember being laughed at in school discussing Mike,I said everyone's missing that he has a wonderful defence and this ***** said to me;
    "He's a boxer,not a centre half":patsch
    The best of it was,the others laughed too.:verysad
    It could be lonely being a real boxing fan when you're young.:|

    I love the way he slips and bobs the straight shots, then rolls with the uppercuts.

    You better be careful about which fighters you go and give credit to on here.

    There's a lot of Stupid Mother****ers present.

    I've only been watching Boxing for a year know what do you call when he literally bends his upper frame side to side to avoid punches? Its bloody cool man i never see any other HW do that.

    It's illegal to duck so your head is below the opponent's belt in boxing. In the first clip, Tyson is practically sitting on the floor. His head is around his opponent's knees. If the referee knew anything about the sport he'd have given Mike a warning.

    Do you mean the way he bobs and weaves?
    What was the fight where he B+W's beautifully under pressure then sparkles the guy and the commentator says;"Goodnight Vienna"?:think
    Think it might have been...

    :lol: Well, to be honest, the Rangefinder Jab is the deadliest weapon in the HW arsenal. At least he was able to shake the devastating effect of it and regain his composure.
