    Mike Tyson- hes defence is underrated

    In hes prime 1985-1990 Mike Tyson had a fantastic defense. He was never really hurt og wobbly. as far as i remember he was only hit by one really good punch, and that was an uppercut by Tony Tucker in the 1 round in 1987.

    Hes headmovement, speed, great shape and good tactics made him the greatest defenser by all time in hes prime.

    everybody give him credit for hes great punching power, but i think hes defense is pretty underrated.

    Anyone who saw a prime Tyson knows that he had good defense. In faded in the 90s, though.

      Tyson was getting hit through his defense at times with hard ass jabs from lesser fighters like Tillis. That is one of Tysons earlier fights and it was a bit close because Tillis was very competitive. No wonder why some lame ass fighter like Douglas beat Tyson.

        Hes defence? Hes prime? Hes headmovement?

        What language is this?

          No, just no.

          He had good defense, not the greatest.

              Tyson's defense was very good, his head movement was a big part of it.

                I couldn't get that far without vomiting.

                That is a classic line though. I'm gonna have to sig that.

                  Bruno managed to wobble him when Tyson was in his prime.
