ANYWAY MIKE TYSON LOOKED LIKE **** IN EVERY COME BACK FIGHT AFTER PRISON......
Your avatar is goofy. Anyway, no - he didn't look nearly as good as he did before jail, but he was still a major force. Too bad he was out of boxing for so long - missed out on a "better" Holyfield fight, Lewis, Bowe, etc, etc. He lost a lot of movement and was easier to hit. Had all the power, but was more predictable.
Holy beat a decent Tyson and that victory should not be dismissed so easily. Tyson used less combos post prison and was always looking for the one punch KO so perhaps he relied to much on power and less so on tactics.
No and the difference is VERY clear. 1 year out of boxing takes TOO much out of someone let alone 4. Don't forget that Tyson never had any interest to return to boxing after he came out of prison anyway and did it because he was forced to(money).
4 years is a long time... although it didn't seem to hurt Vitali that much. But Mike bulked up, slowed down, quit throwing combinations, quit moving his head, forgot to throw a jab,,, He was no where near the fighter he had been... especially without Kevin Rooney in his corner.
i really like the thread dude... good eye... think mike lost a lot of good habits when he left prison!!
no way in hell. he looked unsteady and raggedy!! Look at him finishing bruno off in 96, he couldn't land shots properly!!
Tyson was still in the upper top 10 of boxing though for most of his post-prison fights and for someone to do that with a headhunter style is impressive.
NO PROB.....AND IM NOT A TYSON ASS LICKER.......HE REALLY WASNT THE SAME FIGHTER..........LENNOX LEWIS BEAT A REALLY....REALLY SHOT FIGHTER.............WHEN TYSON FOUGHT BOTHA IS WHEN U COULD REALLY SEE JUST HOW SHOTT HE WAS...:smoke
