    Yup, one of the few excellent defensive infighters.

    dempsey and tyson = swarmer

    marciano and fraizer = pressure

    swarmers start off very very fast and end slow, pressure fighters more often than not start slow and finish very strong.

    I've always categorised Tyson as a refined slugger. Explosive, fast starter, all about looking for the knockout and whacking with full force from the first bell.

    By my own definition, which is highly subjective, a slugger is generally without:

    - Steady pressure
    - A retreating game
    - Inside ability

    How are you, champion?

    Manassa. Do me a favor mate. Go onto my Holmes-Spinks thread. Both fights are there in full, each in one segment. I'd like you to watch and score them, when you have time. Cheers.

    Not bad, yourself? We haven't conversed much lately.

    And I will do, although I was just logging off, so remind me in a day if I haven't posted already.

    So, are you guys saying Tyson was one-dimensional?

    Isn't Marciano always on his max?
    His workout was amazing.
