The technicality of his slips and weaves during his early years were flawless. He'd make each attempted shot miss, but only just, through the utilisation of very precise movement!
Tyson was great on keeping his head off the center line and creating angles to put all of his weight into punches. He was all about huge punches with bodyweight behind it. In his primes, you could easily argue that Mike Tyson was the most deadly heavyweight in all of history.
I know it's a broken record comment to say but honestly, best boxer ever at his prime. I am 50 so in my time I have never seen any athlete like this guy. Thank you for posting
Never understood why ppl called Tyson a brawler this is pure boxing not the mainstream from of jab or hit and make opponent miss and winning on points , Pitbull Cruz is a brawler for example Tyson has speed movement footwork or placement and power 😅
Teddy Atlas, Freddie Roach, Cus D'Amato I'm not sure if Tyson made them legendary or if they made Tyspn legendary but man those are three pillars of the boxing community.
Tyson's team was ordained by God. He was impeccable when he was in his prime. His worst mistake was to fire Kevin Rooney. I don't think his Master, Cus D'Amato would have been happy with that.
WHAT MY EYES SEE... COULD NEVER EVER BEG TO DIFFER ANYONE ELSE NOR DEMONSTRATE OR LET ALONE SHOWCASE THE GREATEST GREAT BOGGIE & GROOVE LIKE IN THE MOVEMENT & WAY IRON MIKE TYSON DANCES.. SERENADING THE RING
That would be against the rules in a boxing match. Muy Thai fighter has half of his tactics taken from him when boxing rules are applied so it’d be an easy win for Mike. That’s like saying that Bobby Fischer would checkmate Tyson. Or that LeBron would dunk on him.
His style was quite complicated to perform, therefore he had to keep fight without give break (as his did between 1985-1988). Therefore, Tyson's situation wasn't pleasant after 1989. Actually douglas didn't defeate prime tyson because tyson had already finished himself before this fight. So before assess tyson you should know that we didn't witness his real pontential and skills. Anyway.
