Mike did not have fragile chin not even close.And I'm not one of those guys who think he could have beat Ali or even prime Holmes.But you see all those punchers that he took from Buster??And Buster could punch some and also Holyfield fight.That right hand in 10th(round before stop) he got caught throwing a right his whole body was moving forward and Holyfield was just shifting all his weight into his right.That was one of the hardest shots I have seen.Tyson had very good chin.And for bully he never quit like most.btw he staggered across the ring in Holy fight but never went down from that shot.Comment

Yep, Tyson was a student of boxing history. He had Cus's (RIP) entire catalog of old fights he watched.Very nice summary of Tyson when he was in his heyday. He also was a nerd... !!??? Yes a nerd, he hit the books as hard as he hit opponents. You can watch him implement subtle things, especially done by Dempsey. For example, people tend to look at Dempsey wailing and say things like "they had no technique back then, dude punches like a girl, etc etc. Dempsey, and Tyson used to do this: would set up hit then pivot into the next position to hit the guy before the guy was even there. So when a guy went forward, instead of trying to reach around him? Dempsey/Tyson would take a step to the center first. Seems easy enough but it takes a great sense of positioning, distance and timing.
Tyson when focused would be a good fight for any heavyweight in history. He was hard to hit, I would not say his jab was much of a weapon personally but, his footwork, evasive head movement, and his punching with either hand equally hard made him a force to be reckoned with.
Its hard to imagine Wilder catching Mike... Wilder is getting much better putting combos together, but Mike was a hard man to catch coming in.Comment

I wouldn't say Josh has a fragile chin. Dillian White caught him with the best punch he'll ever throw and AJ seemed to be troubled only for like 10 seconds.
That Vlad straight right, if it had landed on his jaw, would have left him unable to get up by 10, but any Heavy would be the same.
Joshuas chin is solid, one of the reasons I favour him over Wilder. It's his gas tank that his trainers should be worried about. He needs to drop muscle, get down to about 230-233.
If Wilder can box off the back foot and win the cardio battle he might just take it.
This fight will be won in training for sure. Cardio will be key. Joshua can't afford a mid round loss of steam.
If I was Wilders trainers i'd focus on nothinf but cardio and body punching. Need to attack that weak gas tank.Comment

Wilder defintely has the Height, Length, Power and athletics to beat Prime Tyson, the only thing he is missing is a good jab.
If he had a jab even decent he could.Comment
