    His speed is still crazy. I'd take him as my mate in bar fight.

    All those drills for years and years

    Not just fast - but EDUCATED speed

    Bob and weave your way in - sidestep - and BAM

    Hook the guy in the head

    Mike Tyson is the G.O.A.T but you're right. People can look amazing on bags and pads but in the ring it's a completely different story.

    Mike Tyson is washed up but let's not pretend he is some bum who would lose to anyone. He'll still beat the brakes off 99.99% of the human population.

    Needs to rematch Williams and then McBride. Williams has the chin of a inebriated grasshopper now so I reckon Mike wins that one.

    No, he's not. He's definitely looking solid for his age and he beats the crap out of 99% of the people out there in a boxing fight but he's not faster or more explosive than the current elite Heavys. That's just biased BS. And i'm a huge Mike Tyson fan.

    Because he was never a real HW, but a roided up 5'10 guy.
    The ''secret'' to his speed is that he's not moving around a massive frame so the power to weight ratio is high.
    Even Ruiz, he is a fat slob and he still looked quick against AJ!

    I’d kill to see him go on a bum of month tour, taking on small heavies in the top 200.

    Dunno man, he didn't do much damage to that guy on a plane. Poor performance.

    He might be fast for 30 seconds, but watch a longer video and I'm sure he'll get noticeably slower.
