    They were both difficult to hit.

    Just odd questions you ask, nothing is black and white or matter of fact; you ask questions expecting that that are all subjective based.

    You also state things as if fact, when they are merely your opinion. And grossly exaggerate at that.

    He didn't forget. What he did was try to change his style. When Rooney trained him Tyson never lifted weights and Rooney had him constantly working on his speed and his head movement. When he dumped Rooney Tyson started lifting weights and became much more stationary - prime target for Douglas

    Overall I’m not sure however I do feel that Tyson at least slipped the jab a bit better than Floyd.

    The guy is a borderline troll.

    Duh...
    I just find it funny how I impersonated him and made redundant threads and was banned for it yet here he is he truly has mastered his craft.

    Johnny Tocco who's seen Liston, Foreman, Tyson etc, said Liston hit the hardest. All of Liston and Foreman's common oppenents say he hit harder than Foreman while not one oppenent of Tyson's says he hit harder than even old Foreman

    I never said he fell apart. I said his head movement decreased substantially after the first couple rounds. It wasn't non stop as opposed to a say Frazier.

    Agreed. People (myself included) are giving him answers that he evidently doesn't want to hear and he tells them they're wrong as in theirs no room for debate. If that's the case, I'm perplexed as to why he made the thread in the first place. Just Mark being Mark I guess.

    At his best ...Tyson was more of a combination puncher ....and of course the body attack
