No, it's not, I'd favor this version of Tyson. He might be older, but he weighs less which makes him more flexible and increases his endurance,...
You said something along the lines that he only knew how to fight one way, going straight forward. That's what bulls do.
Casual fans just don't watch a lot of boxing, that doesn't make them ******ed. ;) That Tyson was not as good as he used to, and that the fight...
Being a casual fan doesn't mean they are stupid. Yes, it was his fault, but that's besides the point. Perhaps, perhaps not. I reckon a early 90s...
No I won't. This is my assessment of his ability. I named 4-5 boxers who could potentially beat him. I pretty much favor him over anyone else.
He's a few levels beneath it. Ask any casual fan who's the most exciting boxer and most will tell you Tyson. A lot of people outside America...
We'll make a Tyson painting together. :p;)
Holy was nice too, but not in Tyson's league in terms of excitement. And Tyson was no longer Tyson when he fought the roided cheat.
That's cause Tyson is the most exciting HW of all time.
The 80s and 90s. Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Tyson, Holyfield, Roy Jones, Morrison, Toney, Prior, the G-Man - I enjoyed watching all of them. The one...
He was pretty much unbeatable in his prime. Apart from Liston, Foreman, Vitali and Bowe, I don't see anyone else capable of beating him in his...
Norton is the more skilled boxer. But Wilder can always win if he connects with a big punch. So the question arises: can he connect or not ?...
It all depends on when he retires. If he beats Joshua, I think he should retire.
Foreman by KO. I commend you Choklab on your good analysis. Basically Foreman can afford to get hit multiple times in order to land just 1 of...
Tyson on points
Liston
Complete crap. Tyson was a very skilled boxer and not bull type moron as you describe him. He only became a head hunter in the 90s. Douglas...
Brilliant post.
Yes, but he only did that when he thought he could avoid getting countered clean. It's not like he was swinging wild all night long.
You probably know that many modern boxers pull their punches and don't put all their body weight behind them for fear of being countered. In...
I just saw the thread. Liston beats him. AJ ain't even the best HW right now, Fury is.
Yes, that is true. But that's besides the point I was making, and that is that if Ali ever exposes his chin against Tyson and gets hit clean (the...
By way better opposition and when he wasn't prepared or in his prime anymore. Someone like Schmelling couldn't have KOd a young Tyson even if they...
Foot speed varies due to technique improvement, fight weight and training, the chin stays roughly the same in your early 20's. It only gets a bit...
True, but that is irrelevant since I didn't mention that fight to point out Ali's flaws technique wise, I just brought it up to show that he could...
