    Definitely the most explosive and athletic, especially his shifting.

    Yes he does. Back in 1985 I saw Tyson at one of my Zumba classes. He was wearing sunglasses (indoors) and seemed to be scrunching his face and acting weird, as if he did not want to be recognized. Anyway, when the class started I soon noticed the talent of this young man. At first he seemed slightly hesitant to really lose himself to the music but when the beat got funky and the mood got groovy, Tyson really let it all out.

    A 5'10", 200lb kid flowing through the movements, shaking his body like a mindless seaweed caught in an ecstatic whirlpool of heartfelt Brazilian soul tunes. I was in awe of the body movements I saw that day - I will never forget the twirls and sidesteps and one and uh twos that young Tyson nailed with gracious precision. Unfortunately the class was cut short when he knocked out a nearby grandmother for stepping on his foot.

    But to answer your question, yes, the best body movements in heavyweight history, possibly in written history.
