The thing with Tyson is that people try to give him free passes that no other fighter gets. I can agree with the idea that a fighter can be past...
I'd say so yes, a big fighter that knew how to use his physical advantages. When you have a great jab as a baseline it is very difficult to get...
Yep, most refs would have stopped him, he's payed a high price for the wars he was in.
I've just watched the highlights of both bouts and these fights are as good as any in the history of the sport, it's a shame they ended the way...

I find it the opposite, the sharp punches don't usually hurt, they just light you up, it's the heavy, clubbing shots that you feel. I've sparred...
I am not forgetting that component, it's all part of the equation, of course if you lose too much speed you may lose some potential but we don't...
