    Despite what some say, Mike Tyson was an incredibly skilled boxer. Please watch his incredible hand speed which was thrown with some of the most explosive force any man could ever generate, also his footwork, head and body movement. His combinations were incredible, his uppercuts vicious and precise. To say he was a brawler or a bully is ignorant and to be quite frank, re****ed. Just watched Tyson v. Holyfield 1 & 2 again. Holyfield was an incredible boxer and fighter but put him in the ring with Tyson 10 years earlier, results would be quite different. And for the record, Holyfield was no altar boy, he deserved getting his ear bit off in fight 2, he was sneaking dirty head butts in fight 1 and got away with murder so in fight 2 he got what he deserved after he butted Tyson again in fight 2. Him playing the gentleman after the fight was ridiculous. Tyson's downfall as we all know, was Don King and the morons who managed and trained him and were in his corner the day after King took over...just sayin

    Started off okay, but you kind of tailed off in the middle ... and the less said about the end the better.
