    I really like it but it's brutal stamina wise since your muscles are always primed to explode

    That’s a good point you make. It may be that Tyson was just destined to come onto the scene at a young age and dominate but have a relatively short prime (at least in terms of being amongst the best heavyweights on the planet). And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Not everyone can be Bernard Hopkins. And Hopkins never hit the peak that Tyson did in his prime.

    Agree. One of the many issues when we remember Tyson and his legacy etc is it was very very short, but in that short period his peak was so high.

    it was a style suited to a young gym rat. It may have been difficult keeping it up when older. Especially the defence, which was excellent when his reflexes were on point.
