        i'm sure he would be, in a top 10 as there are not some many great heavyweight dancers. And about holyfield was never a dancer, he moved well on his feet, using the jab second bowe fight. but he didn't really dance, but he's move very well when he wanted to circling his opponent jumping in and out. holyfield got nice footwork too.

            you can never be 100% sure, but the way he moved in his prime stalking his opponents and catching them required footwork, and his legs where very explosive in his prime, so his legs where great in his prime, but doing what they where trained to do, stalking and catching his opponents, and he applyd that style of fighting because of his height build, and mentallity(killer). But i'm pretty sure that if tyson trained to be fleetfooted, he could do that to, but i don't think he would be the fighter he was in his prime. And not because of the footwork per se,but also with that dancing come a whole other style of fighting and with his build that would not be as effective, as he was in his prime with the style he applyed then

              It would be wrong of me to just let this thread fade into "bolivian". Anyway, who would win if both Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield fought each other on thier toes?

                Why does catskills have this obsession with fighters dancing? And why has this thread been alowwed to remain so long? You guys never gave any of my threads this type of run!
