    I would descirbe his Boxing skills as good/decent, not amazing, his punch power made 70% of the fighter imo.

    I would call Tyson an aggressive seek and destroy fighter, capable of setting up his power by slipping and countering.

    Calling Tyson a brawler seems a bit of a disrespectful, cause who calls Joe Frazier, Chavez brawlers? they are generally described as pressure fighters rather than Brawlers, probably because the term brawler might be a derogatory term to describe a fighter, I mean you would call someone like Iran Barkley a brawler.
