    I disagree i wouldnt think tyson was as quick on his feet as tyrell biggs, henry tillman, bruce seldon, james tillis, larry holmes,greg page, floyd patterson and many other fighters that i cant think off .

      Yeah, but I got the proof. You're just saying what you think.

              They may have looked short, but when you consider that he has below average leg length, the steps were really quite long.

                    Why does this site have bad moderators? catskills23 should have been banned a long long time ago with his nonsence. Or atleast close this thread.

                    Forums have SPAMMERS. Do something about it please.
