Tyson left people in awe. He was truly Cus' last and best protege. We are talking about the Tyson who still had good people in his corner and life. This was the Tyson BEFORE King filled his mind with all that Black brotherhood **** that opened the floodgates for bull**** to pour into his life.
Tyson was completely systematic. His peek-a-boo style coupled with his bobbing and weaving was unbelievable. a marvel to behold. A man so big that could move like a machine. He was fast. He was powerful. Most of all, when he was with Cus, he was DISCIPLINED.
Any real fan who has seen Tyson when he was young knows that they were seeing a phenom. They were seeing the living personification of ass kicking. They were seeing a systematic and scientific method of boxing.
Cus would call out numbers "5, ,8, 2!" and Mike would swing at the corresponding targets. He was the perfect blend of offense and defense. Dipping and dabbing to avoid bigger men's jabs ...
No one did it like Iron Mike. No one ever will again.
