Will Iron Mike Perez be another Mike Tyson???

Hell no.

 

I like him...Obliviously not Tyson's level but he's got great pottential...He looked great on prizefighter steamrolling his opposition...

 

In the current Heavyweight era, Mike Perez has a chance (with improvements to his technique & conditioning) to be another "David Tua" & beat Ring ranked contenders & ex-beltholders... however, in the '90s which was stacked with big punchers, he would likely be "nothing special", judging by what we've seen so far in footage of his first 16 bouts.

 

I think he'll be found out with that open defense. Especially up against a big heavyweight with good ko power. Smaller heavies need to be a lot more elusive, and more evasive....

 

Great posts, i totally agree. :good

 

is problem is that he's incredibly inactive.

Yeah,hes fought 16 fights,but 5 of them we're on 2 nights!

I get the distinct impression his hearts not in it. Another Solis. Mountains of ability, but without the will.

 

There is Never going to be another Iron Mike.

that being said this young fighter looks promising but he hasnt exactly faced any solid name so far where he could have show us what he's got.

But I will be watching him, interesting boxer.:good

 

Tyson in his early days was also a freak athlete, with great technical boxing skills. None of the guys mentioned are athletic or skilled enough to be compared to Tyson. As for Perez, he is NOT the puncher Tyson was and he needs to get his conditioning right before he steps up.

 

chisora is an arrogant dickhead and all mouth whos going to get ktfo when he fights fury, and morrison the one that was turning and running from foremand is from a slugger who hunts for a ko like tyson did

 

Tyson had some sort of methodical approach to boxing, a lot of people made him out to be some sort of rough brawler but in fact the dude had the sweet science down to a tee.

Perez doesnt have the speed and niether does he turn his punches like Mike did to get maximum power in, he just swarms his opponents with his punches

 

??? Have you actually watched that fight??? I'm not a Morrison fan at all but I didn't see much "turning and running".

 

Wow a heavy who isnt slow and can throw a punch.

 

but i voted for nothing special.

 

Yea, and it didn't hurt that most all of Tyson's oppoenents were on crack:good..........

 

He KO Rhaman after the belt, that fight should had been a DQ win for Rhaman, Tua loss every round.
