    No his style was perfected by his height, he used it to his advantage.

    NOPE but he certainly would have been unbeatable if he had Floyd Mayweather's work ethic in and out of training.

    His Style is best for someone his size. A tall boxer should well box. Jab off the back foot and look for an opening for his right hand.

    He would have been terrible. His style was to fight small, getting low, ducking under punches. That style would not work at all with a a 6'4 fighter.

  12. Had nothing to do with his height. It had to do with him not being able to change up his style. He would lead too much sometimes with those lead left hooks and his competition caught on to that. In the first Holyfield fight, Holy just waited for Mike to throw a hook and he would duck it, then counter. Rinse and repeat. That's just one example. One of Mike's biggest problems was not utilizing his jab as his competition stiffened. He thought he could win these tougher fights on rage, powershots, etc., but that thought process caught up to him.
