Mike Tyson was a shell of his former self from 98 onwards, when Lennox Lewis, Danny Williams & Kevin McBride beat Tyson they beat a name not the once feared great Heavyweight Champion..from when Mike Tyson fought Brian Neilson he was `SHOT`he weighed a career heaviest and was looking for paydays only
Aye, Mike Tyson. Was certainly nothing like the force he was in the late 80s. He was still electric against the mediocre (Francis, Saverese, Golota). But the guy that turned up against Lewis had only one good round in him.
I'm glad he is still articulate and has his health.
I always felt the most effective thing about Tyson's style was not just the power but mainly his speed of foot. I noticed during the Lewis fight how much that foot speed had declined, before he used to shuffle his feet into position very quickly and unload but that footspeed eroded over time.
