People are basing their belief on size and reach....it makes me laugh...this is boxin....size and reach don't win fights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....all the guys who went the distance with tyson in his early career did so because they hugged him to death and held on for dear life whilst mounting zero offense and losing every rd in the process........
tyson on the rare occassion he jabbed would out jab 6 foot 4 all guys even though he had the second shortest reach in HW history = skill, timing and defense.........you can't KO even a bum let alone world class fighters in a rd if u are a crude brawler with no skill............
Tyson would come into the ring against a guy like Vitali the same way he entered against Berbick......mentally and physically prepared to seek and destroy.......
Lennox Lewis who beat a Tyson more than a decade out of his prime, a shell of his former self (what RJJ is today) and took 8 rds to do so...said he could not believe some of the shots tyson took from him......
[B]An 80's Tyson physically and mentally prepared to the level as required by Cus D'Amato is one of the most supremely skilled boxers in the universe period.............peak for peak, best day vs best day the only 2 HW who stand a chance against Tyson are Ali and Foreman!!!!!!!![/B]
