Tall fighters , that had a good jab ! that could stick and move were the ones Mike had trouble taking out . This is why it's crazy when people say he would have destroyed Ali . Tillis was a copy of Ali with less talent and survived . And so did Tucker .
You could put any fighter in the world at this time there would only be 1 outcome having Kevin Rooney with him was the masterstroke Mike you was a joy to watch there will never be another heavyweight who lit up this division like you did unbelievable fighting machine come back the 80s
Tucker was very underrated. Tall, long arms, fluid, athletic, good chin, defense, & stamina. If he had more of a mean streak, he could have been almost like a heavyweight version of young Thomas Hearns.
The bare spot is from the number of neck bridges Mike did in the camp leading up to the fight. It thrashes your hair but is a huge factor in tanking head shots that sneak through or winning the fight for posture in the clinch
You’d be way off. First of all, he won all his titles from mediocre boxers. He destroyed those with little talent. And then was knocked out by buster, Douglas. He fought too great boxes, and was totally beat, twice by Evander Hollyfield and totally destroyed by Lennox Lewis. He was a brawler and you enjoy watching him destroy those with less talent.
He fought all mediocre fighters?? Come on now, stop da Cap. U Stretchin w that one. And for the Record, most of the otha Great fighters took Losses Also, Not Only Tyson. Only one got off Clean w that one is "Rocky Marciano", Yes. All the others took L's just like Tyson. So Knock it Off, actin like Only Tyson Took Losses. Smfh
@@hombre-lobo5673 Kevin Rooney was, at first, a fighter himself but Cus D'amato realised deep down that Rooney couldn't box that well himself but, he UNDERSTOOD the fundamentals of Boxing & above ALL, Kevin Rooney UNDERSTOOD Mike Tyson!! Mike actually listened to him, they had a bond, a respect for each other. Mike Tyson NEVER had a trainer that would stand up to him, they didn't wanna lose that big paycheck!! Mike fired Rooney for saying that "Robin Givens is about as pregnant as I am!!". So Don King wanted Rooney out of the picture as HE was the last bond that Mike had with Cus D'amato. Don King was/is an arsehole, FACT 💯 But lastly, d'you honestly think that Kevin Rooney would have let Mike step in the ring Vs James Douglas in the condition he was? Hell no. Mike's head & lateral movement were virtually non existent at that point. He looked flabby against Frank Bruno in February 25th "1989. So what I'm saying is that once Rooney was gone, so we're the attributes that made Mike Tyson into the fighter he was, period. Also, NO, Rooney didn't produce another World 🌍 Champion but he trained ex amount of fighters over the years, yeah. Rooney Vs Alexis Arguello is a naughty Knockout. THAT'S when Rooney became a trainer & then became Mike's head trainer. To this day I've NEVER heard Rooney publicly disrespect Mike, even after ALL these years. After the loss to Douglas, Kevin Rooney actually wanted to train Mike again. Oh yeah, Rooney helped train Vinny Pazienza, so there's ONE fighter for you. He became head coach & helped Vinny win back his World 🌍 Title. IF you don't know who Vinny Pazienza IS, then you have NO business commenting on Boxing forums & websites in the first place. I'm done folks. Free Gaza & Palestine NOW 💯✌️🇯🇴🇸🇾🇵🇰🇵🇼🇲🇷🇦🇪🇪🇬🇮🇪🇯🇲☪️☪️☪️💯✌️🌍❤️👑
Mills Lane was kept busy keeping this fight going and theres a reason he is the best referee in the world and heres a perfect example of why..Tucker went to clowning Tyson and that was his down fall in this fight..every time he got funny Tyson got serious and Tucker paid for it..Tucker fought a great fight though
Ali held Frazier a million times in their second fight, but he also beat the hell out of Frazier in that fight. Pro level boxers are taught to get their points and then fing a way to stop the opponent from responding.
Tyson's Career, was ruined by some young woman, who invited him to her Hotel Room at 3am in the morning. (for a Cup of Coffee ?) then accused him of Rape, he spent 2 years 6 months, in Prison, and he was NOT the same Boxer, when he came out. (just like Ali) Ali said, IF ? a Black American, is not considered the equal of a White American, then I not going to fight, and probably get killed, in Vietnam. Correct !!! Ali was sent tp Prison for 3 years. The way Black Americans are treated has still not changed, and probably, NEVER will, particularly by the POLICE.
Mike Tyson never gave any opportunity for his opponents to box, he always charge forward with absolutely no pause. That made him a very difficult fighter for anyone to defeat.
They sparred and fought, if they had fought when he was young Tyson's chances were 80 or 90 percent better Tyson bout ended him in the sparring session 😊
Wrong they didn't fight because Tyson turned pro in 1985 well Lewis was still an amateur and waiting till 2002 to fight Tyson who was not the same fighter
@@77BigMando no he was literally in prison he would have been forced to fight Tyson professionally had he not went to prison way sooner , everyone that knows anything about boxing knows this .....Lennox Lewis was pro in 89 ... 89 to 2003
Until his retirement and interviews post boxing I didn't realise how gifted and skillful a boxer tyson was . Most explosive fighter since the previous greats.
@@mopar_keys Tucker was controlling the fight. I felt like Tucker if he hadn’t injured his hand would have won. Tyson in the second half became the boxer, and it was like Leonard vs Duran I. The judges were witnessing foreign territory, and Tucker fought his fight and deserved some recognition.
This makes me think that a Prime Ali had a realistic chance to beat a prime Tyson, something I had the tendency to doubt everytime the qyestion came to my mind.
Calling out Tysons and his reputation..we saw Mr. Tyson go through stages of maturity..Will say he was once a member of our community and he was nothing but respectful to everyone who ever had the opportunity to meet him..A valued member of our community and when he moved away we all felt a loss..Interesting to note here that the Mansion he left behind is now a Church..We were honored to have Mike Tyson as a member of our community and he is dearly missed here..
Where was this solid right hand at the very beginning of the first round that rocked Tyson I just can't see it. I think it's always best to watch these fights with the bias commentary off. And simply judge for yourself
All Tucker showed is that he can last a fight by clenching or hugging Tyson round after round instead of boxing. He was probably giving Mike LGBT vibes & goose bumps with all that intimate hugging.
Кто бы что ни говорил , но Тайсон гораздо популярнее всяких Такеров , холифилдов Льюисов и тд вместе всятых! Хейтеров у Тайсона много но фанатов еще больше
In these Tyson fights, he can really get your heart rate up, along w/building your stomach muscles just watching!!, not to mention feeling everyone of those left hooks that connects on point!
I hate these fights. 🦏 vs 🦒 The short guy can't get the best part of his punch 🥊 into the tall guy. The tall guy is always protecting his body, so his longer arms get tired. Tucker twirling his right arm? Mike should have 💥💥💥 him right then. Mike at the end, saying he is a perfectionist was🏆top comment! Best part of vid.
Tony Tucker was one good boxer, kept Tyson off balance for 12 rounds but he just did not do enough to win the fight. Mills Lane was the greatest ref in all history. He also knew the fighters and was well respected.
Probably the best fight I have ever seen, zero xdoubts congratulations to the both of you 🙂👍 love Mike Tyson, much respect for the best fight I have ever seen
Tony Tucker was a solid heavyweight back in the day. If he would’ve change his training routine and made it a little more challenging I believe he could’ve got to another level which could’ve got him more recognition, fame and name.
When Sugar Ray said i invented that move and was corrected by the commentator. I lost respect to Sugar and he was one of my favorite fighters. But when you try and claim an Ali move to be his own i draw the line. Next he will try and claim the Ali shuffle which he copied and did after seeing the great Legend Ali do.
Eu sinto que pela qualidade que é o tranck tem não é pra ta se escondendo do tayson não. É pra ir pra scima e peitar pesado impomdo poder e se garantindo.
