    No, I am approaching your shitty mindset with that Tyson folds when someone isn't intimidated. Ruddock hits hard with bombs.

    just look at Tyson ate three powerful bombs from Ruddock at close range and he still went forward. Same with 5:30. Ruddock is not intimidated by Tyson but that doesn't change anything. Tyson still takes bomb after bomb and still charges forward without folding. Just look at how ****ed up Ruddock's face is at the end compared to Tysons.

    Same with the first fight, look at 1:37. Absorbs three bombs like it's breakfast and then knocks down Ruddock. Intimidation is not needed for Tyson.

    Tyson points. He outboxes Sonny with speed, shorter punching, countering at mid-range with combinations, and being elusive.

    facts and people always say in general as if they cant see the difference between being a person with a jab who has no movement vs a person who uses a jab from outside to keep distance while moving

    mike had trouble with the kind that moved which had speed behind it
    not with a person who just jabbed in front of him using no movement

    son would lose and badly its easy to see this

    its weird to me to when followers use that quote how somebody obviously that would be mismatched is a bad style for mike

    it never was a bad style for more facing a bad movement
    slow puncher
    with bad defense
    he always dominated those types
    who didnt use a jab as while moving
    only a idiot would say thats bad for mike

    This has to be a joke. Who did Liston ever beat!?!? The dude reapeatedly dodged Quarry. Quarry was a great fighter, but not a proper heavyweight. Tyson was a HUGE Heavyweaight by the standards of the late 50's.

    Liston gets mauled.

    Here's one going with the same theme of this thread:

    Sugar Ray Leonard fought a lot like Willie Pep. Sammy Angott beat Willie Pep, so how does he fair against SRL? Clearly OP doesn't believe size matters.
