The magnetism of Mike Tyson

there was nothing like a tyson fight..i can still remember the buzz was amazing . my heart pounding hands sweating..feeling like i was about to fight..there was or is nothing like it..

 

So you don't like his ESB nickname: Midget Lisp?

 

I dont think Tyson was a bully, he certainly didnt fold in the Holyfield or Douglas fights. In fact he was the aggressor in both fights! If he folded, Holyfield and Douglas would have chased him out of the ring, that simply didnt happen.

Against Holyfield, Tyson stood his ground, depsite being outboxed and outmuscled, Holyfield himself stated part of the reason he won that fight was due to his conditioning.

 

Tyson was awesome during the 80's.

 

Tell that to the people that bought into the bully story.


Although maybe there is some truth and it was best said by {forget the sports-writer's name} that Tyson relied more on the bully/intimidator mystique by the time he got to Douglas and didn't have the skills/training to back it up...but he was no bully on before that.

People who believe the bully story, normally fall into 3 categories (sometimes all 3)

A) They hate Tyson regardless of whatever
B) Theyve never even watched the fights
C) They dont know **** about boxing.
