    I agree with this. I bend as to who is the best composite puncher out of him and Louis often. Tyson was sometimes overeager though. For example when he fought Frazier he throws, I think, three left uppercuts before he jabs and is wide open whilst doing so. They all miss.

    I wonder if his nature didn't sometimes overide his technical excellence.

    Manassa made a great point, one I agree with entirely. Unfortunately, fighting against such huge men didn't provide him with many other options.
