    George Foreman on Tyson

    George Foreman said Mike Tyson hit like a heavyweight and moved like a featherweight...Do you agree?

    he moved more like a middleweight, sometimes a lightweight. If you actually try to do some of those fast movements he does with his body u will see. And if u cant do them u know why.

      But did he have the feet to be fleetfooted?

        thats why he was so good, that movement. Once he lost it due to prison/age(JUST like Jamal Lewis), all the physical impediments came back to haunt him.

          I honestly don't think any Heavyweight is light enough on his feet to simulate the movement of a featherweight....

            Its just a figure of speech...he's comparing the two opposite ends of the spectrum for added effect.

              Don't take it so literally. Its hyperbole.

              He hit really hard and was really fast is all he's saying. And yes, he's right. But that isn't exactly breaking news here folks.

                Early in his career he moved that upper body really well - but even as a young fighter he was very ordinary after the 5th or 6th round....
