@MrPernell27 2 года назад

I met him at a basketball game in Burnett, Tx. We were sitting on the other side of the gym and my student recognized him. He was just sitting by himself, wearing a hat and watching one of his sons play. We went over and just wanted a picture. We ended up sitting with him for the entire second half, had some cokes and hotdogs. Extremely nice man. Never once mentioned boxing. He talked to us about his family. Showed us pictures of his horses and grandkids and gave my student some advice. Even though she was a tennis player. Extremely nice man

@jeremytucker8853 4 года назад

Yea but he'd have to open up and fight along the way. Tyson in his prime had a few fights that went the distance. He was successful in all of them. He never lost a decision. I do agree that Ali would've tried using that as a potential weakness of Mike, but I think he would've been highly disappointed in the end. Tyson throws bombs 1-12 rounds, but if he had a shot that would probably be it.
