    Funny how the Tillis, Smith, and Tucker fights are always left out of these videos. Probably because he looked like a C-grade fighter in those fights.

        Regardless of the de****able way he has behaved post Douglas, and in particular post Holyfield, I find it amazing that anyone could not rate or enjoy the Tyson you see in the video above.

        Talk resume all you like but as a young boxing fan, following the ascent of Tyson was an event unmatched since IMO.

        If you don't enjoy a young HW decimating just about all in his wake before becoming the youngest ever HW champ with a 1 punch 3 knockdown shot then perhaps cricket would be a more suitable alternative as a sport.

        PS/ Your question is ******ed. It's a ****in highlight reel. The clue is in it's title.

          I find everything about his in-ring performances incredibly boring.

                That's extremely odd, could you go into more detail as to why?

                The only fights I found boring is when his opponents where scared and just covered up a la Clottey.

                  The headmovement and knockdown against Tillis is shown in HL

                  Smith hugged him for 12 rounds, watch the fight,come back, comment.

                  Tucker - boxed ok for a few rounds and Tyson did a proffesional job on him boxing him when guys like that dont want to mix it up, you just gotta box

                  that was his plan B - it was boxing not looking to knock the guy out

                    Boxers hit each opponent, would deal a heavy blow to the opponent.
