I know it wouldnt of suited tysons style but did prime mike tyson have the feet to be fleet footed, to be able to get up on his toes and move around the ring like ali ? .

tyson did have quick feet, but his body stature/fighting style wouldn't be suited for Dancing type boxing. He was something to behold back in the day with that "bob and weave". The head movement,power and hand speed were incredible. Too bad the mental stability and character were not so incredible.

I know it wouldnt of suited tysons style but did tyson have the feet to move around the ring like ali ? .

tysons style doesnt match with that IMO

Dose anybody know for certain if tyson had the feet to move around the ring like ali, is anyone 100% sure ? .

heh doubt it...why would tyson want to? tyson was a destroyer, not a floater

Why do you doubt that tyson had the ability to get up on his toes and move around like ali , holmes and biggs could do it why not tyson ? .

Why do you doubt that tyson could get up on his toes and dance around the ring like ali, tyrell biggs and larry holmes could do it why not tyson ?

What enables a fighter to be able to dance ? .

Good rhythim.
:D

If by fleet footed one means, he was quick on his feet, I think he was. Nobody got away from a prime Mike. He caught up with everybody.

If a prime Mike were slow, he would not have been able chase many dancing masters to plant his feet, get good leverage, and slam home all those KO punches. :)

Um,

Who cares???

Are you guys looking back and wishing Tyson pranced around like a fairy?

Tyson went for the knockout every second of every round of his fights. He didn't try to be cute and win rounds, he tried to break down his opponents and knock them out.

Ali and Holyfeild won a lot of their fights through attrition because of their footwork, and defense. Tyson won hbecause he hit so hard that guys didn't want to get up.

If you look at the fact that tyson did have fast feet and was able to jump from side to side real quickly its very possible that tyson could of posessed the feet to move around the ring like ali .

Why do you doubt that tyson could get up on his toes and dance around the ring like ali, tyrell biggs and larry holmes could do it why not tyson ?

I'm sorry catskill23 but didn't MarvDave answer the question. We do you insist on having Tyson fight a style that didn't suit his body type and strategy? :mad:

I am not insisting he should of used a stick and move straregy, I just want to know did tyson have the ability to get up on his toes and danced like ali, whether he had that kind of foot movememt .

Nobody could dance and move more effectively than Muhammad Ali. Catskills, when you get 100 posts to your name check out the Ali-Quarry boxing download and you will see "the greatest" dance like he was at the senior prom. ;)

Okay I know tyson couldnt of danced like ali , but could tyson of danced like tyrell biggs or larry holmes ? .

Okay I know tyson couldnt of danced like ali , but could tyson of danced like tyrell biggs or larry holmes ? .

Pleeeeze Catskills, your beating a dead horse. What do you want to hear that Tyson could dance like Biggs or Holmes? Okay, Tyson could dance like Larry Holmes,Tyrell Biggs, Usher, Nelly, MC Hammer. ;) Now are you happy?

This thread is whack, does Roy Jones Jr. have exceptional athletic ability, duh... C'mon man Tyson had all the physical tools one could possibly ask for. Now if Tyson would've developed a jab then I think he could've been a pretty damn good boxer/puncher as well. But Tyson and that bob and weave style was like Peanut butter and jelly, it was simply a thing of beauty w/ a whole lot of ferocity!

I've always wondered what Tyson would've been like if he ended up being a football player, would've probably been in the mold of a Jamal Lewis, definitely an east - west type of runner.

I have seen Tyson's entire career and I can't imagine him moving around the ring like Ali. :D

It would be pretty stupid for a 5'10 heavy to start dancing round the ring and try to out jab far taller boxers. He fought a style which suited his physical makeup. Just as Lennox fights one that suits his.

I know it wouldnt make sense for tyson to get up on his toes and dance and he wouldnt be able to move like ali because nobody could . But did tyson have the feet to move like tyrell biggs or larry holmes ? . What enables a fighter to be able to move like that anyway , how come some fighters can do it and others can not ? .

What would be the point. Tyson was so successful using his own trademark style. How could he be the baddest man on the planet if he was a dancer - "I will distract the gentleman by blinding him momentarily with the speed and grace of my footwork, whilst i doth quickly nip out and dine on his children"

Fast feet are like fast hands. Some guys have them and some don't. Some guys plod foward while others are on their toe's. Some guys move foward like that deliberatly, digging their toe's into the canvas for punching power.

So dancing is about fast feet , did tyson have fast enough feet for dancing ? .

catskills.....


I have a question for you....













Could you shut the **** up, please ?

nO I WILL NOT SHUT UP I WANT SOME ANSWERS HERE .

So if dancing is about fast feet did tyson have fast enough feet to dance ? .

Well if you watch the second henry tillmam - tyson amateur fight you wil see tyson in the corner up on his toes doing a bit of dancing , of course the camera is far away and there is the tale of the tape writing covering the screen so its hard to make out how good he is at it .

How could he be the baddest man on the planet if he was a dancer - "I will distract the gentleman by blinding him momentarily with the speed and grace of my footwork, whilst i doth quickly nip out and dine on his children"
I Agree 100 Percent

Did anyone see tyson doing a bit of dancing before the opening bell in the second tyson - henry tillman amateur fight ? .

Tyson is like a chunk of metal..I dont think you would want to see that dancing..

What do you mean ? .

Catskills, you're a sly number! Rackin' up those points with this thread eh? Smart...! ;) :)

I am not trying to stack up any points , I just want to know if tyson had the feet to dance and be fleet footed in his prime ? .

Some guy told me mike tyson is pigeon toed is that true ? .

Rick Reeno....

Could you close this topic, please ?

Dose anyone know for sure if mike tyson had the feet to dance as good and as fast as tyrell biggs and larry holmes ? .

Don't know.

Did anyone have a dick big enough to satisfy your father ?

Tyson feet may be sweet,
but the rythem is what he lacked
thats why his head is cracked.

Did prime tyson have the footspeed to dance like larry holmes ? . I think so because if you see prime tyson on the skipping rope he looks very nimble on his feet .

catskills....

Why don't you just come clean & admit the only footwork of Tyson's that concerns you....is how close his feet are to your ears, as you drill his ******* ?

You're a spammer, a nutlicker, & a loser.....all rolled into one.
I'd put my foot up your ass...if I didn't think you'd view it as a favor.

**** off .

why do you even care?

Because I want to know how much boxing ability mike had .

No he did not have the feet. Tyson has a stocky build-- a dancing boxing style is not suited for his body. PERIOD. End of discussion. End of thread.

How do you know tyson didnt have the feet to dance ? .

No he did not have the feet. Tyson has a stocky build-- a dancing boxing style is not suited for his body. PERIOD. End of discussion. End of thread.

I second the motion, thats it, Tyson is not fleet footed OK!

Just because tyson had a stocky build dosent mean he couldnt dance on his toes , if you have ever seen tyson skipping rope you will see that he was light on his feet .

I am not trying to stack up any points , I just want to know if tyson had the feet to dance and be fleet footed in his prime ? .Of course. Wow.

I was on larry holmes site asked larry if tyson had the ability to dance and bounce around on his toes, larry said tyson didnt have the ability to dance and bounce on his toes that tyson was a brawler not a boxer . Is what larry said fact or is it just his opinion ? .

Interesting

First, Jabs, you are a ***** for attacking people's posts on a website, when you wouldn't dare try putting your foot up anyone's ass face to face, let the dude ask the ****ing question, if you don't have the answer, don't post on it. Again you're a coward ass *****. I personally think Tyson wouldn't be able to dance for very long, not on his toes, anyway, because of his unusually small calves, as well as his thighs being so heavy. I have seen him bounce around a little in some of his fights, and he looked alright, but he wasn't dancing, per se, and it was never for very long.

What fights did you see tyson bounce around in ? .

You are an idiot for answering this kid's question.
He's trying to build up points, period.

I guarantee....you aren't the kind of person I'd hesitate booting in the ass.
So, talk tough all you want.

This IS an internet forum...criticizing & insulting people is part of the reason why these places exist.

Your hard guy stance & self-righteous attitude is almost as annoying as this kid, "catskills".

Okay I know tyson couldnt of danced like ali , but could tyson of danced like tyrell biggs or larry holmes ? .

No :D .

(Funniest thread on the board :D )

What do you know dip**** ? .

I often wondered about that myself. Tyson was quick, but he was too short to dance like Ali. He might've succeeded in some sort of Mayweather style, jumping in after circling an opponent.

What do you know dip**** ? .

I could tell you if Ali could dance like Liston :p :D .

Even during his prime, I don't think Tyson had the stamina to be fleetfooted. No one can seriously answer your question since Tyson never really displayed much footwork. Most of his movement was upper body.

Thats incorrect tyson displayed a lot of footwork .

What enables a fighter to be able to move quickly around the ring on their toes ?

Balance and practice
does the trick
you can dance around on your feet
Side to side and he cant be beat

Whether he is trying to build up points or not is none of my concern, he was asking a question, he has the right to. I'm not a tough guy or anything, but if you are ever in the Dallas Texas area, send me a ****ing post so I can meet you somewhere and you can ****ing try *****, I promise you it won't go like you think it will...

And self-righteous? The only problems I've ever had on this site is with mother****ers like you that attack other people's posts, If you had just made a point and left it at that I wouldn't have posted at all, but you, just like Jose, old gringo, and Nicht, have to attack people instead of having an intelligent debate, that's not self-righteous, that's just putting mother****ers like you in check.

I think Tyson could have danced at least as well as Holyfield. I have watched many of Floyd Patterson's fights, and I have wondered if Tyson could ever have incorporated that movement into his style, it's just that he's 30 lbs. heavier at the least...

catskills23, do you relize how popular of thread you have made? its unbelievable, this thread has even spread over to other forums. Good work

This is a great thread

Has anybody ever seen Tyson dance?

You are a true idiot.
I don't attack people's opinions....but I do criticize people who spam down this board with ridiculous threads & posts.

Can you tell me.....has an "intelligent debate" taken place inside this thread ?
I don't see one. You know why ? Because it's a ridiculous, & un-debatable question this little dork posted.
Feel free to defend, & align yourself with, this kind of low-rent stupidity.

Again....your tough guy routine on here is an absolute joke.
Close that **** down.

You aren't keeping anything or anyone "in check".
You don't have the ability or smarts to do so.

I'm no tougher than anyone else on this site, but to attack people's posts and post that you're going to put your foot up someone's ass just because you're not in front of them is not only stupid but it's cowardly, and any one of us can accomplish that very same thing. To call me an idiot just because I didn't let you keep posting that trash without posting anything in return just shows how childish and stupid you are. Yes, I could sit quietly and wait for people like you to realize how inconsiderate and rude they are for posting the way you do, but I'd be waiting a very long time, for people like you think that **** is cute because they never learned about manners, and I shouldn't have to change sites in order to be able to post without seeing some idiot's ridiculous, illogical responses to legitimate questions that most on this site have responded to, but have almost completely gone around without answering clearly and directly.

And the answer to your question is no, an intelligent debate has yet to take place on this thread, because you're still littering it with your french garbage, and I don't come here to be a cyber tough guy, I have chances to be a real tough guy every day where I live, If I so choose, but those types of posts seem to be the only thing your retarded, traumatized french brain can comprehend.

dont hold it against jabs r stiff
he dont know any better. he was not taught
proper manners. he can't help it if he is of
a lower class. take it easy on him.

Oh yeah, and times are changing, frenchie. Are you secretly jealous of nerds? Anyone in touch with the modern world knows that nerds aren't the only people on the internet anymore, and I'm far from a nerd.

Hollister....

First of all, I'm not one bit French.....TINO changed that title because I was joking around about his nation.

You keep making reference to how I responded to the kid's thread question.

Let me ask you....Do you think it was a REAL question ? Do you think the way he responded to others' responses was genuine ? Have you noticed he has not posted on any other topic, or created any other thread ?
Are you him ?

Don't give me that **** about being tough because of where you're from. I've been to Dallas, & there's nothing tough about that city.
Come to my hometown of Philadelphia, podunk, & you won't survive.

Wow. manei is that you?

I think he showed his fleetfeet and skipped out.

Well Jabbie, you're french now, and you'll be french until I leave this site. I posted because of the way you treat other people, the legitimacy of the question is really irrelevent, although I thought it to be legit. I didn't mean that I was tough because I'm from Dallas, I said I have chances to be a real tough guy where I live, if I so choose, as opposed to a cyber tough guy like you. Truth is, I'd survive anywhere I go just as well as I do here, and Philly's tough, but there are too many places tougher to really get hung up in bragging about it, try Mexico city, Philly can't even touch it, and no, I'm not hispanic, but I've been there several times, and Philly can't touch it, end of story. I hope the fleet-footed skipout comment wasn't aimed at me, 'cause I'm gonna be around for awhile lol

Why don't you post in another thread, little man ?

I do, frenchie, if you looked at any other thread, you'd see that, but I'm not tired of posting here yet, so I'll probably hang around. You'd like to think I'm a little guy, right? Like the midget on Austin Powers? You'd like that, wouldn't you?

I don't give a **** who or what you are....you're still little to me.

Yeah, that cyber toughguy mentality makes me small in your mind, and I know you care, otherwise, why not just stop responding to me? 'Cause cyber tough guys can't stop lol

Especially french ones, they're the worst lol

You addressed me first, didn't you ?

Before that....all you were to me was a know-nothing who's posts I skipped....

Yes, I addressed you first, and that requires a...a what? C'mon, you can do it...Ok, **** it I guess you can't, it's a response, Ok? If someone addresses you, you ****ing repond, if you hate me so much, don't do that part, because your cyber tough guy tactics aren't scaring me, nor do they impress me, and I know you would love for me to bow to your stupid ass, but **** it, as far as I'm concerned, we can go on like this from now on, I don't give a ****.

No need to bow to me...I'll just return you to your "skipped-over" status.
You had more worth then, so consider this a favor.

See ya, podunk.

Typical of a wannabe bully, get in the last post, then run like the wind, *****.

What else is there to say ?
How far in depth can we go ?
Maybe you can tell me about the horrors you survived in Mexico City ?
Can you tell me about how you wrestled some bantamweight to the ground, as he tried vicking your wallet ?

Do you want to continue this cyber-pissing contest, Mr. Reallifetoughguy ?

I think you're actually everything you're accusing me of being....& you want to continue this "battle" because you can't win dick in real life.

All this because I correctly knocked some dweeb (catskills) for spamming the place.

Tell me....is it because you're a Tyson-lover, that you're so fired up over this ?

First of all, she was a flyweight, not a bantamweight, but she was wirey lol, but as for knowing what I can or can't do in real life, the only way for you to be able to say for sure, is to come and prove it, a hard ass Philly thug like you wouldn't have any trouble here in friendly Dallas, right? No, I don't want to fight anymore, the truth is, I don't love Tyson, I love you....

But seriously, if someone would have just given him an honest answer and their reasons for the answer, he probably would have left it alone, but people kept going around the question, and that one question got blown up into something it never should have been. If you don't have an answer, why bother posting? It's because you just feel the need to talk **** to someone who isn't even in front of you, that's just silly. Who are you anyway, the spam police? What, does it cost you money when the rest of us post?

I never said I was tough because I'm from Philadelphia.
I said you aren't tough because you're from Dallas.

Nothing, but this is supposed to be a place where we can discuss or debate boxing topics, and if you're breaking his balls, you'll be breaking mine next, because you're a **** talker, and that annoys me. Whether or not the question was legitimate, and whether or not his motives for posting it were genuine, the question was legit. Where I was born has nothing to do with whether or not I'm tougher than you, and yes, I did address you first, but you have been posting like some know it all baddass for some time now, so the way I look at it, if I hadn't addressed you, someone else would have, I just didn't want to wait.

You're typical....because I DO know a ton about boxing....you think I'm a know-it-all.

The fact that you're defending that dork shows me that you can relate to him...& that you really know little about boxing & are here just to have some kind of interaction with human beings.
When you realize you're posting about boxing in a place where really knowledgeable people discuss it....you feel insecure.

Dude, I'm not defending anyone, I just didn't want you to start that ***** ass rattling off with me. He asks "Does Tyson have the legs/feet to dance?", and you say "Admit it, the only movement you're interested in is his nuts on your chin." That's how you showcase your vast knowledge of the sport? Does your knowledge somehow hinder you from having normal discussions without stooping to accusations of homosexuality? You probably do know alot about the sport, so do I, but you, from what I've seen, don't come here to discuss boxing, per se, you come here to look for trouble to start with other posters, to talk down to posters that are newer that you are, but all of a sudden, you're a ****ing counselor too, so I'm insecure about my lack of knowledge of boxing, and that insecurity causes me to lash out at your posts, right? What a crock of ****ing **** dude, you're as crazy as you are stupid.

Dildo...

Go read all of my posts......I thoroughly discuss the sport, all topics related to the sport, with everyone.I do so as much if not more than anyone on here.
Onlly when I think someone is being ridiculous (or biased) do I
comment/get on their ****.


If someone's new...I don't get on them just for that. But purposely being an irritant (like catskills) gets me on them.

You must be some kind of blind-ass idiot to not be able to see that kid was f*cking around.
You must be dizzy from that mecahnical bull !

Haw Haw Haw, mechanical bull, how original. You know, you haven't posted one goddam thing that even loosely resembled a rational thought about boxing since this thread started, and I just keep waiting, but it just doesn't ever come around. You have discussed boxing in past threads, but even when you do, your posts are almost arrogant and condescending, I guess because you think way too much of yourself, and consider the opinions of others unimportant. I guess what I'm saying is if calling other posters dildos and **** are the closest thing to a civilized boxing discussion you have to offer, then you can go **** yourself, because I've pretty much shot my load, and I'm tired of ****ing you.

Chump...

You obviously aren't reading anything.
You can go into the topics being heavily discussed today, like
the one about "weak chins", Tszyu-Hatton-Cotto, Mayweather-Bruseles, Castillo-Corrales.

I DISCUSS all these things, in a civil mannre....quite thoroughly.

But....you aren't enough of a real boxing fan to venture in, & join in, those threads.

So....just stick to popping your pea-head in to defend your fellow dorks.
Even though you do a ****ty job of that, also.

& ho-ster....you've ****ed nothing on here but yourself.

Now, when you do elect to post in another topic, I'll be there, ready to point out all of your mistakes...
I won't even be kind enough to condescend.

I am dying!!! Jabs and Hollister you guys are silly, this one of the funniest threads I have read in a minute.

Thank you very much (takes a bow) this IS pretty stupid, I'm going to leave this one alone lol

I'm having a good time, I know that.

Glad to brighten your day, Tikal.

But your both off topic.

But your both off topic.


Wow......that didn't even rhyme.

Next time I will try to speak in rap,

Half the time I dont think people like that crap.

I like the thread and was trying to keep it neat
Since it is about Mike Tyson's feet

:D

Hollister you say prime tyson could of danced at least as good as holyfield , how good was holyfield at dancing anyway ? .

He wasn't the fastest on his feet, but he could move some, Especially before he got hung up on building muscle mass. That's one thing I've never understood, especially later in their careers, Holy and Tyson's styles resembled alot more than in the beginning, the only difference being that Holy would move around sometimes when he was hit, and although obviously having the ability to move around, Tyson always chose to stand in front of his man and try to hit him back, harder. Warrior mentality I guess.

Mike is fast and moves quick
with his feet. he dont have the
tallness and reach to fight like ali.
he is better anyway with the style
he has.

Tysoom sux, hes not fast, just stands there like a fukin tool and gets his ass beat by 2nd tier fighters. Put a fork in that milk dud he's cooked well done!. Hey Tyson Jr. I noticed yer relatively new hear. Just wanted to congradulate you on being very original and sailling on Tysons nutsack. :rolleyes:

your a dum moron so your
not even worth arguing with.
anyone who cant see that mike
ripped his goddam knee verses
williams needs to get there
head examined. who is your
favorite fighter anyway?

BigTruck, why?

Besides im not just talkin about the Williams fight. Any fighter who doesnt get nailed by one of his haymakers easily tee-off on that hasbeen. You want examples? OK. Lewis, Douglas, Holyfield, Williams, Botha (Yeah I know he lost, but was dominating TinMike until he walked into a haymaker). Tyson is a worthless, easily beatable fighter now. No serious boxing fan takes him seriously anymore.

I mean how can any now take you serious (if they ever did) when you don't even know if BigTruck is black or White. Do you know what color Kelvin Davis (IBF champ) or JEanMarc Mormeck (WBA champ) are?

You called Tyson a milk dud
so I thought you dont like blacks.
I was just curious. I dont know any
black people so I dont feel one way
or the other about them.

I don't know if i blame tyson jr for not knowing about cruiserweights, most people don't anyways, neither do i. If he's a tyson fan then he's mostly interested in the upper weight divisions.

tyson dick riders are the worst boxing fans. he could have been the greatest, but he ruined his carear. hes washed up now. he still has a punchers chance, but smart fighters will just fight on the outside.

But they are a fan to say the least
we all liked Tyson when he was a beast

Cruiser is one division below heavy. THAT IS THE UPPER QWEIGHT DIVISION. DO YOU ****IN RETARDS KNOW THIS!!!

everyone has a favorite weigt.
the cruserweigt division is not
that famous.

Sure it is!

Mike Tyson did not have the feet you are thinking of. He can't move like Ali, because his style isn't like Ali's, his body isn't like Ali's. He wouldn't dance like Ali.

He could shuffle too.

Mike Tyson had neither the height or the reach to have a fighting style similiar to Ali.

This thread will live on forever :D

To the guy who said tyson didnt have the height or reach to dance well chris byrd dosent have any height or reach but he is still able to box and move .

indeed you make a good point. you may be right. but he must first get a proper trainer to pull this off.

After 14 pages I am still no closer to finding out the answer .

I think most people think he did. I may be wrong.

Dose anyone know for sure if prime tyson had the ability to dance be fleet footed , what enables fighters to dance on their toes ? .

Dose anyone know for sure if prime tyson had the ability to dance be fleet footed , what enables fighters to dance on their toes ? .


You answered your own question....it's your toes that enable one to dance.
The rest of the feet attatched to those toes, along with the legs attatched, also help.

There.....your question is answered.
It's not boxing related. Neither are you.

Now beat it, ****er.

Strong calves and toes help, and rhythm doesn't hurt.

Rythem is one too

I know it wouldnt of suited tysons style but did tyson have the feet to move around the ring like ali ? .

could it have been done? sure.

is it a good idea to do that with a guy like mike? no. example?

Bruce Seldon. he has tyson-similar build. Rather than go the usual route for guys his size (stalker/slugger) he went with a boxing style..and tyson made him pay with a ko in round 1 ;o

Worst thread ever.

To the guy who said strong calves and toes help , well tyson had strong calves not so sure about the toes though .

I don't think so. It's a good question, but it got out of hand..

To the guy who said strong calves and toes help , well tyson had strong calves not so sure about the toes though .

he never used his toes

i think tyson could dance like ali but alis legs were longer so he could travel faster

Dammit dose anyone know for sure ? .

Mike and Atlas and Mikes women would know when he goes dancing

After 14 pages I am still no closer to finding out the answer .

LOL :D The answer is NO, I can't imagine Tyson fighting any other way than his in your face style.

of course he did

Slickhook, that's not you in the clip, right?

Come on dudes anyone know for sure , did tyson have the footspeed to dance as quick around the ring as bruce seldon ? .

Come on dudes anyone know for sure , did tyson have the footspeed to dance as quick around the ring as bruce seldon ? .


yes he did....and he also had the grace and elegance to not only dance like Bruce Seldon but also a prime Enter the Dragon Bruce Lee. :D

When tyson is on the ring he does use his toes. Side to side is a problem of his. Has he ever shuffled like Ali?

I wonder what Holyfield would be like if he was fleetfooted..

Holyfield danced early in his career what was he like , was he quick and mobile doing it .

I have decided Prime Holyfield did indeed have feet to be fleet-footed, ask Rick Reeno..

How do you mean in the ring tyson danced on his toes but had trouble moving side to side ? .

He didn't need too

Anyone know for sure if tyson had feet to be fleetfooted ? .

Anyone know for sure if tyson had feet to be fleetfooted ? .


No....nobody knows for sure....& nobody will ever know.

Tyson fought with all of his weight forward. That being said he couldnt move laterally trhe way that Ali did because his shoulders were always turned square and his front foot was flat on the ground with his back foot ussually up in a sprinters stance which doesnt allow for mocving like ALi.

Was this thread first made up on this site or did you steal the idea from another website...because I've seen it on another boxing site.

same here...........

Which site did you see it on?
I saw it once while browsing that Larry Holmes site.

Dude I saw this thread on Larry Holmes site.. This thread was copied from there.. For what its wworth Holmes said "There is no way Mike could have fought fleet-footed"

Yeah, but didn't he kind of avoid the question?
Everyone knew the style wouldn't be an effective one, because of his size, but I think what everyone wanted to know was did he have the ability to do it?

It will be 2009 and this thread will still be on the front page of boxingscene. :D IT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!!!!!!!! :D

Yo bobbyjoe you say tyson couldnt of danced because of the footwork he used , but I am asking could tyson use lateral movement footwork and get up on his toes , when I am talking about tyson dancing I an talking about him sticking and moving like chris byrd .

yes if Tyson took some ballet lessons he had a very good chance of becoming fleet footed... :D

I know it wouldnt of suited tysons style but did prime mike tyson have the feet to be fleet footed, to be able to get up on his toes and move around the ring like ali ? .

Ali was too fast
the fastest heavyweight ever
you cant compare them two
Tyson is one of the strongest ever.
but he did have some movement

I wish he would have incorporated more movement into his style, instead of relying solely on his power, he could have been like a bigger Patterson.

Did patterson dance on his toes how fast and good was he at it ? .

An answer please .

cat stop bumping this **** post up here we dont care anymore

An answer please .

YES! YES! YES, DAMNIT!!!!!
Prime Mike Tyson definately had feet to be fleetfooted..

Tyson proved he did in one of his early fights. I have a clip of it and he actually gets up on his toes and dances for the entire round. He looks quicker than Holyfield or Holmes, but not quite as smooth as Ali.

I heard Tyson faught like that against Henry Tillman in amateur, maybe thats why he lost both fights to him

Yo kid achilles which fight did tyson get up on his toes and dance for the entire round ? .

Yo kid achilles which fight did tyson get up on his toes and dance ? .

can someone delte this thread?

Dont listen to this guy .

This thread is whack, does Roy Jones Jr. have exceptional athletic ability, duh... C'mon man Tyson had all the physical tools one could possibly ask for. Now if Tyson would've developed a jab then I think he could've been a pretty damn good boxer/puncher as well. But Tyson and that bob and weave style was like Peanut butter and jelly, it was simply a thing of beauty w/ a whole lot of ferocity!
Tyson actually had a very good jab in his heydays!
People seem to overlook his boxing abilities in his prime.
Of course you have to know how to jab in order to get inside to unleash combinations on a bigger man.

Yeah but did prime tyson have the feet to be able to dance on his toes and be fleetfooted ? .

:sucks: ..........

All you guys, take it easy... :)

Jack the ruppah your full of **** you never met tyson, I am not trying to get in the guinness book of records for longest running internet thread ever, I just want to know if prime tyson could dance and be fleetfooted and I want prove that he could .

Responese please .

I did meet Mike Tyson. He was at a Publix super-market near my house.

If you did meet tyson what the hell wee you talking about ? .

Jack the ruppah if you did meet tyson what were ye talking about .

Boxing...

Duuuuuuuuuuhhh.

And how did tyson bouncing around on his toes dancing get in to the conversation you had with mike ? .

I started naming some of my favorite boxers and started explaining my reasoning for them being my favorite and I mentioned Ali..I then said I always liked seeing fast fighters use both their quick feet and their quick hands to make opponents look foolish...I ended up asking him did he ever box with that style (on his toes, sticking and moving, etc.) he said yeah, back in the amateurs he did that in a couple of his fights, then I asked him were you as fast as Ali when you did it? He said, Nah, I was more kind of like Larry Holmes..

That round I mentioned before was from the amateurs. I have it here on my computer; I just watched it. I'd say he looked a lot quicker and more athletic than Holmes but at his size he'd never succeed trying that crap against top opposition.

What amateur fight was it kid achilles and jack the ruppah did tyson say he was as fast on his feet as larry holmes ,or faster or slower ? .

This might be the funniest thing I've ever read on BS.

Kid achilles where did you download that particulat amateur tyson fight and did you ever see holmes - shavers , holmes was quick on his feet in that fight dont you think ? .

Is kid achilles or jack the ruppah there ? .

Yes I am here...He didn't tell me the exact fights he fought on his toes, but he said he did it in quite a few of his fights..

Did mike say he was fast on his feet using that style ? .

Okay kid achilles told me that he saw a clip of tyson dancing on his toes faster than larry holmes and now he tells me he was having me on , who else is filling me up with **** , what about jack the rippah are you bull****ting me aswell .

Responses please .

Yo jack the rippah are you there ? .

jack_the_rippuh doesn't feed people bull****. jack_the_rippuh gives it to you how it is. jack_the_rippuh is getting very annoyed with how you're trying to make a liar out of jack_the_rippuh. jack_the_rippuh has told you once and jack_the_rippuh will tell you again, prime Mike Tyson definately had feet to be fleetfooted, jack_the_rippuh knows this, because jack_the_rippuh met up with Mike Tyson and Mike Tyson told jack_the_rippuh that he was similar to Larry Holmes on his toes. Regardless of what Kid Achilles might have told you, jack_the_rippuh isn't lying, and jack_the_rippuh is getting tired of all of this, if you choose to believe jack_the_rippuh...great, if not that's you're problem..

Okay jack the rippuh I believe you . But what were tysons exact words when he compared his dancing on his toes to larry holmes . Was he implying that he danced quicker than holmes or slower than holmes when he said I dance kind of like larry holmes .

I told you already, it's on one of the previous pages, if you like, I can repost it for you..

So what your saying is that tyson didnt say whether he was faster or slower on his toes than larry holmes , he just said he moved like him on his toes .

Are you there jack the rippuh ? .

Are you there jack the rippuh ? .

I didn't ask him, so he didn't say, but I would think he was faster than Holmes, just a guess..

Why do you doubt that tyson could get up on his toes and dance around the ring like ali, tyrell biggs and larry holmes could do it why not tyson ?


Those fighters were not five foot nine.

Well I saw mike in the amteurs fight on his toes a bit against henry tillman and he didnt look fast, but he was moving forward ,do you move quicker on your toes going backwards than going forward jack ? .

I would think so...
When you move forward you don't put your upper-body outward but when moving backwards, most of the time you lean back...

Jack what makes you think that tyson would be faster dancing on his toes than holmes ? .

:haha:LOL, No disrespect to Catkills23 but this thread is getting annoying. Good post Rippuh.

I don't think Tyson would've ever tried to do much dancing. When you stop keeping your feet planted, you lose alot of power, and I don't think he'd have been willing to make that trade. That was a large part of the reason he had such vicious power in both hands.

Tyson is one of the heavyweight of all time form me. He is a fighter that gives excitement to the fans. The way he fight made him great!

Jack what makes you think tyson would be faster dancing on his toes than holmes ? .

Yes, catskill, I am here. I never said I think Tyson was faster than Holmes. You asked me are you faster coming forward or moving back, so I told you...

Jack you said on a previous post that you thought that tyson would be faster on his toes than holmes .
