tyson unique?

Tyson's size seemed to fit his style well. Everybody he faced was taller wit a longer reach, so his style of offense and defense both was designed to negate that. Rare breed of puncher that had gr8 head movement and torso rhythm. And of course his inside attack to both the body and head was brutal. Handspeed just topped it off. Mike's style seemed to be his alone, although Cus had other fighters wit the same fightin stance.

mike tyson fought with a combination of styles and disciplines. Cus wasnt his only trainer, he had manny others at the same time when he was learning how to box

I am a novice but I am curious what is it about his style that is such unique?

Is it hand speed, power, peek a boo style.....he seems like such a non technical fighter........or is it just a combination........he seemed one of a kind........did his style just suit his physique?

Thanks.

in a nut shell it was his size and speed, for someone as muscular as him he moved damn quick..his peek-a-boo style created by the late cuz is also unique, im pretty sure he approached his opponents full body on, instead of half body, which he compensated by great body movement in the torso..

tyson also trained to attack and move 3-4 times after each attack, oh and he trained his thighs extensively so he could close the distance quicker and pounce on his usually much taller opponent..

When he did what cus taught him he became champion. when cus died so did tysons dedication and discipline. cus was the bull whip behind tyson and when he left so did his structure.

I'd have to check this but im pretty sure cus died quite early on in his career, i think rooney kept tyson in check, after he was sack then i believe was the fall of tyson (douglas)

yeah he died before he won his first world title. watch the 2008 documentary "Tyson" even mike admitted that his downfall was before he even won the title. He even said that his discipline died with cus because cus was the only man he feared. he was really like a father to him and cus kept mike in check until his unfortunate end. best documentary made on tyson.
