    dude honestly i think tyson at the time was the best heavyweight i ve ever seen unbeatable...i box...an i emulate alot of his style...but you also got know how to mix it up..one style gets to predictable an people catch on...im showing the kid im training now that...an i say its a bad style for a tall people like the klits to learn..but always good to learn how to throw evry punch with max leverage while staying balanced an posed

    Is Tyson your favorite heavyweight? Or just one of your favorites?

    Is this in regards to my Floyd question? What if Floyd abandoned the Philly Shell from an early age? Ok hear me out ok? Say Floyd who's around 5'7.. at age 16 is already at 154 pounds. So he know for sure that as a pro he need to fight at super middle weight instead of light weight. So in that case everyone he fights (Ward-Kesler-Froch-Bute) all hold significant height advantages over him. Can he successfully implement the bob and weave?

    Because you are coming forward and when you're moving it's harder to see someone else moving relative to you. It also requires higher levels of fitness as it is more fatiguing. Have you seen Vasyl Lomachenko? He bobs and weaves a fair bit, his defence is incredible while he does it. He is the only fighter I've ever seen who can counterpunch as he is moving in.

    The lightweight boxer at the 2012 olympics Evaldas Petrauskas had an excellent bob and weave style, it was like watching a lightweight Mike Tyson.

    Hey what's up man. I heard of Vasyl but I don't know anything about him other than he's an Olympian. Can you tell me about him? Like should I watch him? Should I become a fan? You say he's good at the bob and weave style?

    How effective do you see Canelo using the bob and weave style against guys who's like 6'3. Say Chad Dawson. Did you watch Tyson vs Berbick?
