Basically Im asking for a #/10 on the main categories of boxing reaction speed /10 Movement speed /10 Strength /10 Chin /10 Intelligence /10 Physical genetics /10 Durability /10 chin /10 Head movement /10 Final grade /10
I agree with all your above grades except strength, Tyson always truggled when bigger, stronger heavies stood toe to toe because he was so small, Holy was stronger than Tyson when they met and despite that mainly being due to Holy being roided up it meant that any heavyweight with Holy`s bicep size and chin would have given Tyson problems.
I will say (in his prime): reaction speed 9,5/10 Movement speed 9,5/10 Strength 8/10 Power 9/10 Chin 9/10 Intelligence 8,5/10 Physical genetics 9,5/10 Durability 9/10 Head movement 9/10 Final grade 9,5/10
A boxer like this has never existed, and never will. But it would be an interesting combination of Usyk plus Wilder nuclear right.
I’d give him an A+ for everything on that list. The only thing I didn’t see on there was mental fortitude in which case he gets about a C-
reaction speed /10 Movement speed /10 Strength /9 (he wasn't Foreman or Shavers) Chin /7 (stopped by guys who were definitely not great punchers like Douglas and Holyfield). Intelligence /8 Physical genetics /8 (he was only 5'10") Durability /8 Head movement /9
1987-1988 Tyson Reaction speed 10 Movement speed 10 Strength 8.5 Chin 9 Intelligence 7.5 Physical genetics 10 Durability 9 Head movement 9
Reaction Speed: 7/10 Movement Speed: 8/10 Strength: 7/10 Chin: 8/10 Intelligence: 6/10 Physical Genetics: 10/10 Durability :7/10 Head Movement: 7/10 50/80 = ⅝ ⅝ of 10: 6.25 6.25/10 6.25 is way lower than I'd actually rank Tyson out of 10; he'd be an 8 or 9 in my book. But mathematically, that's the average of the scores I gave.
So, I will try to analyze Tyson as a layman, ending with 1988 reaction speed 9/10 Movement speed 9/10 Strength 9/10 Chin /10 Then Tyson's chin wasn't tested enough for me to rate it, and then when his chin was actually tested the rest of the performance went down... Intelligence 8,5/10 Physical genetics 9,5/10 Durability 9/10 Head movement 9,5/10 Final grade 9/10
Intelligence is based on how logical he was in the ring and his fundamentals were sound making few mistakes unlike Ali who circled one way leaving himself wide open to hooks.
