    Apparently (keyword) recklessly rushing opponents without looking like a complete amateur? It was truly special the way Mike absolutely rushed his opponents throwing every punch with the intention of knocking them out and still managed to avoid being hit with such skill, throwing short, compact combinations. It was pretty impressive. What other boxers come close to being able to do that? I think no one. Mike was truly unique, the most entertaining fighter ever by far.

    Lucas Matthysse when he's got his engine turned on is a killer. He'll look much sloppier than Tyson though

    Idk. Lucas was a good puncher but he fought nothing like Tyson imo.

    In the old ESB days you'd see an army of Iron Mike fanboys arriving with black & white Tyson avatars. They'd come by the dozens to defend their hero.

    I'm not one of them. Buster destroyed Mike, he gets full credit.

    I mean yes, Tyson is my favorite fighter, but my favorite fighters are usually my favorites because I like their fighting style, they don't have to win every fight.

    troll thread

    but seriously speaking

    ignoring tysons's defense is like ignoring jordan's winning 3 point games

    it didn't define him but it damn near made him

    Duran and Hagler could do that when they wanted to
