tysons "strong" hand

[abdiel2k3]

so i was watchen bunch of old tyosn fights
and i cant decide
which was his strong hand?
i mean ***
couple times he swtiches south paw and throws left haymakers then switches back to orthdaox to follow up with right haymakers
which hand was stronger?

It was his right hand.

His left hook became less effective over the years, & he became much more reliant on the right.

Plus....his hardest punch was his right uppercut.

[RastaSmoker]

his hardest punch was always the left. Still is, its just know there is nothing behind it. Think about it. The first real fight that mike had was against Evander, and what was evanders main focus in that fight. To d**** his right arm around mike tysons left so that he couldnt effectivily use it. If he was worried about the right as much he would have done the same to the other side. Not to say that his right is weak, its just his left was his power shot.

The left hook was definitly Mike's money punch, although he had Ko power in both hands.

[BadMagick]

Mike Tyson said his right was his more powerful hand. I can't remember which fight he said it after, but I'll trust Tyson in saying his right was more powerful.

2 vs 2
2 think the left
2 think the right

Right hand/left hand who cares? What counts is chin & heart and we all know those were equal-WEAK. P.S. Last I heard Mexico was still south of us, what are you waiting for? I'm sure there's always room for one more dirt farmer to exploit. While your at it, ask Vincente what kind of measures he takes to keep the "illegals south of his border from "sneaking" into Mexico. It ain't pretty

[Pariah21388]

he was the man hands down

[borikua]

Right upper

I read somewhere that Mike is left handed so you would expect it to be the left hook. A lot of great fighters with lethal lead hooks are converted and fight with their stronger hand first eg. Joe Frazier, Oscar De La Hoya and Marvin Hagler.
