    Mike Tyson’s boxing techniques:(leaping) left hook. -landing the hook behind the defense -closing the distance with the leaping left hook -keeping pressure Mike Tyson used to breakdown his opponent by constant pressure, by closing the distance fast. And slipping punches and countering, giving them no time to breath.
    How good was Tyson at landing the hook? How did his hook compare to Frazier, Dempsey, Patterson and Liston`s hooks?

    Tyson applied intermittent pressure, he was not as high volume as some, although extremely quick, great countering, power & accuracy.
    Also he often was temporarily neutralized when clinched.

    Devastating. One of his better shots imo together with the uppercut during his prime.
