tough grueling fight Tyson Ribalta Berbick to win the title Marvis Frazier total destruction Spinks total destruction awesome counter hook Tyson/ Williams Pinklon Thomas awesome finishing combo Bruno 1 best hook to the body uppercut He had some awesome skills in the late 80's
You see with the Bruno fight the decline though. No head movement, trying one shot at a time and walking in instead of worr=king his way in. never should have fired Rooney!
Not one particular favourite fight (sorry!), but a few mindboggling moments that stick in my mind: the ending to the Reggie Gross fight the first round against Berbick the KO of Pinklon Thomas in the Holmes fight, the period from when Tyson starts landing effectively with his jab in the third round to the first knockdown in the fourth round
which was the one where he had the ko by right hook to the body then right uppercut to the head, that was one of my favorite ko's of all time, it was so fast and powerful.
Tyson's a rarity in that his body movement is quicker than his hands. His handspeed is overrated (but still pretty quick for a heavy). His agility and movement while going forward is insane.
I am not a huge (or even little) Tyson fan, by any means! But my favorite fights of him are not even listed for the most part: 1 Tyson vs Ferguson (Tysons body attack is out of this world) 2 Tyson vs Zouski (Zouski is a journeyman! While this fight was never in doubt, Zouski made tyson work hard in a short period) 3 Tyson vs Thomas (His first opponent that I felt actually had a shot...but Tyson put that to rest) 4 Tyson vs Ruddock I (would easily be my favorite if it had not been stopped to soon IMHO) 5. Tyson vs Bruno I
where's the berbick poll option?......that is tyson at his best imo......and the way berbick was falling around all silly trying to get back up is just classic.....
