Why does everyone hate Floyd so much? Ricky Hatton is talking crap as well. Ricky Hatton's mum is talking smack too. Ricky has been talking all kind of crap about Mayweather.
Bowe? And this nonsense about comparing 147lb fighters on the 'scientific' level to heavyweights has got to stop. Floyd is more technical than Tyson? He is supposed to be, 220lb men cant do what smaller men can do as a general rule. Tyson, in fact, was one of those exceptions, extremely athletic and fast for a man of his size.
Floyd was the smarter fighter. He hasnt folded under pressure. Mike did, countless times. Thats what I mean by being scientific, if floyd strategy fails he can recover, Iron mike couldnt. When Douglas, Lewis and Holyfield wouldnt bow to the great bully he had nothing left.
Ali beating Liston at 22 was a ****-load more impressive than Tyson beating Berbick at 20, in my opinion.
I have no idea what Floyd said about Mike, and I really don't care...when you look at Tyson, you have to use three standards: #1 The original "Team Tyson": This will include Cus, Atlas and Kevin Rooney. When Mike was under the tuitlidge (sp?) of any of these three, he was a force to be reckoned with. He had great head movement, great footwork, used his jab, was able to put pressure without waisting engergy, etc. Oh yea, he could hit pretty hard as well. #2 The jokers Don King put in charge: Tyson stopped throwing combinations, didn't move his head very well and simply looked for the one punch KO. This caused him problems vs. ATG's like Razor Ruddick and Buster Douglas. The Busta' fight really exposed how terrilble his corner was...remeber the frozen glove that was used instead of the cold compress. #3 Post Prision Tyson: He was a lot beefer and a lot slower. He didn't move very well and relied on being psycho and fowl tactics. The saddest thing about Iron Mike is what he could have been.
Wow alot of morons addressing me mistaking one one hit wonder with another. Get over it. You know who I meant. Address the argument, stop acting like a bunch of girls on their periods.
Tysons lucky Wlad wasn't fighting back then, his little "reign of terror" would have come to a haulting start. "Tokyo" would've happened a hell of alot sooner :hey
Scientific fighters usualy refer to sharp, technical, precise fighters.. and not to a fighters ability to stay cool under pressure.
