    Only thing I think he made a mistake on is using the Douglas fight as an example and the reason why is Tyson didn't fight his usual fight and wasn't in any kind of shpe to do so. And a good fight to use would of been Tyson vs. Green or Tyson vs. Biggs.

    One thing he forgot to mention is that Floyd Patterson and Mike Tyson had the same exact styles, and Ali won every round against Floyd, I'm sorry to say...

    True, But even at his best, in the Berbick fight, or Biggs fights, or even the Ribalta Fight, Tyson, who people claimed to have had speed, would have been resetting himself the entire fight from Ali's circling.

    Tyson cut the ring off better than Patterson and he had a better defense, with more physical strength and power and a much better chin. Tyson also was one of the fastest heavyweights in history.(In his prime of course, the Kevin Rooney trained Tyson)

    Funny that you say that be3cause Biggs used a lot of footwork similiar to Ali(maybe not exactly like Ali) and he was a very tall heavyweight that Tyson outjabbed and that's impressive. Tyson had very good timing and I think people don't take that into account.
