Howard Cosell on Mike Tyson: 1984 - Amateur Fight with Henry Tillman

Nice post. Very interesting ...

 

the fight Mike cried. yet then Mike anniliated Tillman as a pro

 

ey friend, can you tell me what said cosell on tyson? i can not understand the oral english very well.

 

Yeah hes not fast, slow as a sloth.

 

"Flat footed. He's not fast, no question about that, he doesn't have the body to be fast, but he's not ponderous either."

Tell that Marvis Frazier, Carl Williams, Michael Spinks, Alex Stewart, etc, etc.

 

tyson was naturally fast because he did not have heavy bones like foreman,frazier,marciano or tua. tyson was very muscular but he did not have big bones

 

It has nothing to do with big bones. Tyson was close to 200 pounds when he was 13 years old. His sister died of obesity, he was 300 plus pounds after he retired from boxing for a little while and had the same weight struggles.

 

he weighed 200 pounds when he was 13 because his genetics was very muscular and he was Developed early, end of the history, his weight did not increment so much, he weighed 200 pounds when he was 18 years old against tillman too. and he weighed 212 pounds in his early pro career.
foreman weighed 226-230 pounds in his amateur career. joe frazier and marciano were heavier before of their pro debut too. the bones are not the only factor, but it is very important.the genetics of tyson was created to be fast and strong, but not brute strength. he was more athletic

 

Tillman boxed his bloody head off!!

 

Yeah. Tyson was n't suited for the amateur game.
