    I just re-watched the fight and was impressed with Tyson's evasiveness and head movement in this fight. He also used his jab effectively. It was almost like the Tyson of old. He didn't show half of this ability in the Holyfield and Lewis fights. He was slipping most of Golota's shots and landing bombs at will. It's a pity he didn't show this level that much post prison.

    It was a really good fight from Tyson in my opinion.

    Golovkin wasn`t as good as Lewis or Holy at moving a fighter out of position so they arre out of position and can be caught, both had far more offensive skill than Golovkin and both applied more pressure.

    Ummm...

    Anyway, I'm not so knowledgable on Tyson post prison. My guess would be that he was constantly switching trainers, alongside bipolar-like episodes?

    Since when did GGG fight Tyson? or what does GGG style have to do with Lewis or Holyfield......did I miss something in the OP? LOL

    Yet another brilliant response...well thought out

    Yeah that's what I reckon, from reading his book you can see he was a very inconsistent person who had way too much chaos going on outside of the ring.

    It was pretty obvious he meant Golota

    Tyson was all over the place post prison. There seemed to be the odd period he seemed more focused on training, he was with Tommy Brooks for Golota and they were working on doing stuff he did in his 20s, which you have to wonder about... The other time he seemed focused was with Roach for the Danny Williams fight where he looked pretty good for a few rounds but it was too late, his body gave out on him. Holyfiled really ended Tyson post prison, after those fights it was all over really, whatever he did.

    He is a grown man and has been a nuisance he can't blame everything he writes on auto correct....he will have to live with the B.S. until he has socially normed

    You sounds like the boss in every dystopian movie.


    Edit: In seriousness, if he bugs you you're better not paying much attention. If you want to actually change his behaviour, you can't just be negative all the time, you have to give positive feedback when he's going in the right direction.

    If that's the case, and I have seen someone troll like that before (mrduckbears), responding like that is exactly what he'll be after, so it's still not a good idea.

    I thought his head movement looked slow and predictable tbh, nothing like the young Tyson. Golota was really starting to time him when he quit like a cur......
