Talent wise Tyson was athe greatest HW ever

Nothing wrong if you've always used it, but all of a sudden, aged, say 25, somebody starts using it, i have a problem with. :good

 

agreed physically Tyson has everything the only ''shortcoming'' he had was height.

But a 5,10 Tyson was still outjabbing 6,5 good hws like Tucker.

 

Indeed i was going to mention the height issue....but of course if Tyson were a bit taller it might hamper the effectiveness of the bobbing and weaving style somewhat....so i suppose the size thing is subjective...

Either way as you said i think he practically had everything in a physical sense in relation to his style...but the lack of mental fortitude meant that despite his undoubted success, he didn't achieve as much as others even if they had less physical advantages i.e. Holyfield and arguably Marciano(i don't think Rocky achieved as much as the 49-0 record would have you believe just 6 title fights against good but not great competition)

 

Im not saying he wasn't fast all im saying is he wasn't as fast as a Floyd Patterson, Ali or Tyson

put it this way i don't believe his handspeed was his standout feature...i really ought to have phrased it better
