Mike Tyson? Why do fans always bring up POST PRISON Tyson

[Mr. Philadel]

Cus' death wounded Mike, Robin castrated him, Buster finished the job.

wow...this is sig worthy!!!

[Uturn]

Why are people still arguing about this!

[Money Shot]

Contrast his performance against Bruno in 89 with the one he did in 96. The 89 display was inept but in 96 he smashed Bruno. Maybe he wasn't wholly the same fighter but when he trained properly he wasn't that diminished. And if you want to see a guy come back from a four year lay off check out Vitali. A true credit and example to the sport.

Conditioning is a huge part of boxing and your focus.Especially your defense. This is probably the biggest difference as well as speed in Tyson, This is a huge loss.

Prime Tyson in the later rounds against Tony Tucker, he still had that quick bounce in his legs moving quickly in to attack, the focus was still their to dodge a punch and his speed was still there. Even in the 12th round he still had great energy.

When your stamina is poor your defense gets lazy which results in getting hit and eventually hurt.

Even his training...The 1987 clip of him doing road work. He's running at a fast pace and not just jogging. That's a man in peak shape who can run 5 miles at a fast pace. Not saying Evander can't win, but Mike aint gonna tire, and Mike is not going to lose focus with his defense because he was in better shape to fight at a quick pace without tiring.
