If Cus did not drop dead and Don King got involved Tyson would have retired undefeated.

Originally posted by Scott9945 View PostWell I wouldn't watch heavy bag training to determine any fighter's skills. I'm not implying that Mike was unskilled. But to say he was "far more skilled" than Joe Louis, or even Marciano or Frazier, sounds ridiculous to me. Maybe if you saw them hitting a heavybag you'd be more impressed?
As far as Frazier, he did have good head skills but he didn't have Mike's devastating uppercuts or fierce right hand. But, being less skilled doesn't necessarily mean they are lesser fighters IMO.

He could do everything you could want from a boxer. More than Tyson.
