    The subject matter is his skillset not his power.

      One of the most skilled fighters of his time.

      He was the pound for pound king at 23 for a reason.

      He had power in both hands, had a good jab, had great defense for a HW. was a great combination puncher, and mastered the D'Amato shift.

      His personal demons caused his quick flame out, not a lack of skills

      The idea that Cus D'Amato, who Muhammad Ali called the greatest boxing trainer ever would train a fighter with a low skill level is ridiculous.

      He lost to Douglas he was unfocused

      He fought Holyfield & Lewis after prison when his skills had eroded

        Probably say slightly above average skills.

        Extremely physically gifted athletically, explosively and in just general talent.

          Great breakdown.
          This is why I make cases in this forum to learn more.

          He definitely had skills and it was known really early on in his career. Yeah it looks like After Cus Tyson's skills started to diminish bit by bit
