This is a difficult fight to pick. I'm always schizo when I think of this fight.
I look at Tyson and I see the beautiful headmovement and glorious combinations combined with side-to-side movements on his feet, and I think "Holy excrement, this man would kill anyone."
But then when I myself fight someone taller with a good jab and good boxingskills, I think "**** me, this wasn't as easy as planned".
Yes, I know. I'm no Tyson. But I use his style when fighting taller people.
And Andy Lee is no Holmes. But he still toyed my freekin' head off with the jab.
That, of course, is irrelevant. But it made me realize a thing or two about the sport of Boxing; it's not as easy as it looks.
People watch Tyson and sees how easy he dispatches people, and then they go home thinking that's how he would have handled everybody.
I've been boxing for 6 years now, and what I've learned is this:
A good slugger will get this far.
A good boxer will get this much further.
A good boxer who knows how to slug as well can go all the way like this.
I've seen alot of incredible skilled sluggers and punchers been picked apart by russians and cubans over the years. It always amazes when a good slugger meets an equally good boxer.
Holmes has the best jab in the heavystory. But that's only the tip of the icecream. His toughness is underrated.
This is a smart individual who enjoyed making people look foolish in the ring.
The one thing that impressed me most about Holmes was the way he turned his head with the punches to soften the blow.
He was the king of this in his prime.
He did it in infights with people the same size or bigger than him, with his hands almost at his feet.
Tyson would need to jump in with his punches, making it easier for Holmes to see them coming.
Y'all know Tyson's strengths, so I won't bother with them.
But if you know boxing, this is a difficult question to answer.
So, how do you see Tyson keeping his composure and inflicting his will on a tougher man?
Me? I just wanna kill...Comment
