My favorite boxer outside of the ring, whom I rarely talk about. What do you think of Kid Dynamite's skillset?

How Skilled Was Mike Tyson?

Under-rated is a good word.
Amazing defence, picked his shots well. Beautiful combos, supreme power. Excellent in many, many attributes.
As for weaknesses, he didn't fight to well off the back foot, didn't do much inside and sometimes got wild when finishing guys.

Tyson was mostly known for his power to the casual fan..but Tyson's "defense" was great and his foot speed combined with his head movement and underrated hand speed were downright amazing. I loved watching Tyson close the distance almost more than the knockouts. Just his movement, his style it was great.
