Awesome. I loved Cus's Bad Intentions idea. I've considered getting boxing gloves with "Bad Intentions" under it.
Yes, but you have to know that Tyson was a phenom of speed & power. He had the agility and coordination and explosion few people have, which is why many stocky fighters simply can not fight the way he did. It wouldn't be a conditioning issue. More of an issue of agility and speed. For example, guys like LaMotta and Marciano would NOT be suited to fight under the peek-a-boo style. Neither would someone like Cotto. You have to deal with the attributes you have.
Yep, Tyson was exceptionally gifted with speed and power. He benched 200 lbs for 10 reps as a 13 year old on his first try.
Could listen to the great Cus all day ..Had he been around with Tyson for a few more yrs who knows where he would be ..
This video is one of the reasons that I say Mike is an ATG. Say what you want about the level of competition, the man was technically magnificent. At the same time he was absolutely ferocious! It's a winning combination and even though the bulb was bright for only a short time, you can't deny the light that it gave off. You can't show me a similar video of any HW in the past 10 years and I can count on one hand the number of heavyweights that displayed the technical brilliance that Mike Tyson displayed early on in his career.
Peak Tyson was absurdly good. There will never be another 5-11 heavyweight with that type of talent/physical attributes.
