Mitch Blood Green

How fast was this guy? He was the only fighter to actually attempt to go toe to toe with a young Tyson,but he lasted "Barley " the full 10 rounds ,even getting his mouthpiece knocked out of the ring. I believe his speed and Tysons lack of experience helped him. At 6'5 225 he is another forgotten Tyson victim. Hes also an example of how fast fighters actually had got at that point as he was probably the fastest 6'5 guy anyone had seen up until Ali,,though he was definatly one of the fastest HW's ever.
His only loss prior to Tyson was Berbick,but many said they thought Green won that fight.

Yea that's why he was known to brutalize guys in street fights. Funny to because he hit harder than many past time top Hw's ,that you guys claim were some of the best punchers ever...

 

He didn't run with the bloods...he got that nick name because he drew blood from his adversaries in fights while in his gang.
Basically quit boxing after other guys were getting paid more,then turned hefty into what you said he became.

On green!

Visions of Don King and Mike Tyson obsessed Mitch Green, along with those of a number of black civic leaders he believed to be in cahoots with them. It was generally assumed he was paranoid, crazy, and dangerous. But consider: When Mitch was a child in Georgia, his father had been shot dead at point-blank range by a man he was simultaneously shooting dead. The men's funerals were held in the same mortuary on the same afternoon, both families sweating through their Sunday best no more than a few feet apart. Or this: As a gang lord, Mitch presided over New York's Black Spades, a gig that required him to maintain an aura of menace while fending off anyone insane enough to challenge him. Or this: As a young man who'd won the New York Golden Gloves heavyweight title four times in a row, he'd been given money, cars, and an assortment of flashy presents by some of boxing's white elite, like Shelly Finkel and Lou Duva.



Guy was so out there he also thru the Seldon fight becuae he wasn't getting paid enough.

 

He was very avoided in the 80's,i would have liked to see him fight the other tall guys like Tucker and douglas,even Tubbs.I assumed he fought Seldon,also read Seldon was afraid of him and paid this guy or that guy not to fight him?Though green was done right after Tyson fought him and after that street fight he had. I know he was shot in the leg and never really fully recovered that either.

 

Mitch Green was shot through the leg once,had you been standing next to him when that happened you would still be more shot than he was just go down your posting history... :smooch
