    he's "sparring" do you expect him to go all out on his partner, hes saving that for McBride.

      ....My point is that it looked like he was thinking of throwing in that one part of the clip and kept setting up for it but waited and waited to throw a punch. Tyson and Evander both do that alot now and it seems to be something that happens to older fighters that can't pull the tirigger like they once did because for some reason they just hesitate.

        yeah i understand what ur saying, but when he does throw they are pretty impessive and i dont think no one in the division right now is that fast,

          ...The problem is that his speed alone isn't enough to get it done anymore. IMO he doesn't have as big a punch as he used to, his heart doesn't seem to "really" be in it, and his defense isn't what it used to be. Combine that with the fact that nobody fears him anymore and IMO it makes him an average heavyweight. If this McBride guy gives him the least bit of trouble then I hope the Tyson fans will finally see he is through. Regardless of what you think of his knee in the Williams fight, he mailed it in and basically quit. He had no intention of getting off the canvas and he definitely was clear headed.

            I actually think that Tyson still hits as hard as he used to. It has been said that power is the last thing to leave a boxer, and Tyson had power to spare. I think the problem is that he is not as fast as he was in the late 80's and his stamina is so poor that if his opponent survives the first 3 rounds, he has a good chance.

                slow is Ruiz, Golota, Vitali, in no way were them punches Tyson was throwing were slow, those were some quick combos.

                      Why the hell would Showtime post footage of McBride and Tyson working out on the same page? Are they trying to kill the gate?
