    See, i've always felt this was overated. Gross plants his feet and just swings. Tyson's movement is arbitrary - that is, it's not designed to slip these specific punches, rather it's a (technically sound) way off presenting a moving target...great, but imagine a world class composite puncher trying to time him?

    I agree the punch is beautiful, and perhaps Tyson has a perfect read on his man.
