    Foot outside crap is a myth that Grey has dispelled in detail many times here. Also If you find someone that can fight you are going to get put on your butt trying to throw it anything like Donovan.

    Okay? I am also not sure what Tyson holding a high guard and slipping had to do with Ruddock it was literally how he fought since he was 16 man. I said he was a hard puncher I am saying Tyson was better because he didn't need 3 meters to throw a gimmick punch that made him as readable as a toddlers story and was not much harder of a punch then anything I seen Mike throw.

    You should really watch break downs of the smash technique or watch Ruddock's fights more carefully. Because it was neither easy to read, nor did he need 3 meters to throw it.

    It was hard enough to brutally ko Smith, a guy Tyson couldn't put a dent in, so there's that.

    They're both top tier. Of course power isn't everything. It's the delivery system that produces dynamite finishing.

    Yes there is something I clearly am not seeing lol. Yes Tyson couldn't put a dent In a man who was so scared of his power so much he held him for nearly an hour straight.

    personally i think its academic. How does one gauge it? Both big punchers who could put people to sleep.

    It's not a myth lmao, there's a reason why people do it. It's because it works.

    And I don't throw anything the same way as Rudduck. Did you even read the post? The only similarities is that they're powerful upward jabs/elongated uppercuts. I don't rely on it, I don't wildly throw it when all else fails. I actually have a set up and only use it in very specific set ups.

    Honestly I glanced over it don’t be upset lol.
    Not a myth, yes a bad choice of words but not the only way? Not the gospel method preached it’s meant to be.

    Tyson couldn't adapt for nearly an hour straight.

    By winning just about every round and taking more damage in the sparring leading up to the fight. Yes he really stuffed that one ya know letting a guy willing to lose do just that and collect and collecting one of the easiest pay days of his career.

    Yes, he had no chance against the Smash though. Lol Two wars where Tyson didn’t nearly sweep every round, taunt and break the guys jaw.

    Did I say Smith won a bunch of rounds? No. The point either flew over your head, or you're too stubborn to admit Tyson had a flaw in his game plan.

    Winning a match doesn't mean your style is perfect or that you are good at adapting. Context matters.

    When the hell did I say Tyson had no chance against the smash? Are you even reading before you reply? You're off the mark and off topic. This was about how powerful Ruddock's punches were.

    Come on when people talk power punchers there talking Mike Tyson not Razor Ruddock. Tyson hit harder and had better punch mechanics, technique and fluidity and badder intentions.

    Given Givens' (sorry, I just had to write that lol) propensity to be led around the nose by her mother, I'm wondering if she wasn't.
