19 year old Tyson...Under Cus he was unreal (video included)

That is the D'Amato version of Tyson aka the best version of Tyson.

 

Awesome

 

His head movement was sensational

Lol at how he sparred without a headguard against guys with headguards

 

Tyson back then was so special.. I remember how hyped my pops use to get when Mike was up and coming..

Damn his feet looks like he was doing some super fast side to side moonwalks, his whole damn body was just so damn fast..

 

Yes & with the likes of someone like Cus behind him, he would be able to win the title in even quicker time than he did!

I cannot emphasize how rare it is for a person so young to be so good, so gifted, in any profession!

No other HW in history has possessed the blend of speed & power to the level Tyson had it!

Imagine guys like Audley wanting a shot at that 19 year old "kid". Good Lord, I think we would have the first ever case where-by a fighter forfeits a fight before he got through the ropes! Lol!

He was Phenomenon!

 

How long would it take for that Tyson to beat undisputed champ with the heavies we have today?

2 years?

 

Less than that! Tyson made his Pro Debut in March 1985. He became WBC Champ in Nov 1986. So he was a title holder 19 months after his Pro debut.

I believe he could challenge & beat any of the title holders at HW after 12 months! No Joke. Look at who there is:

Vitali is getting on, the youth of a young Tyson would simply be too much.

Wladamir would get taken the fcuk out.

Haye would be blitzed in a round!

 

Brilliant and people think a prime Lewis would beat a prime Tyson hahahaha

 

What if?

Tyson captured the title and unified the titles in his early 20s, what ifs are you talking about? The man did great for himself, would of always lost to Lennox Lewis and probably Evander Holyfield aswell.

 

Tyson was amazing and those videos make him look amazing.

But factor in the videos don't show him fighting inside aka Douglas / Holyfield and remember what happened there.

Also bobbing and weaving. Will it work against a big guy with a good jab who can work off the back foot?

Styles make fights. Styles make fights. Styles make fights!!!

We will never see another Mike he was one of a kind but still he could be beaten although he would have beaten Ali imho.

 

Prime Mike loses to no one! :thumbsup

 

Lewis' style was suited for handling someone like Tyson

Holyfield brings much more craft and technical soundness into play than Lewis so that one is a bit interesting
