What does Andy Ruiz does that the current Mike Tyson can't do better?

[Long jabber]

Tysons movement looked rigid as hell too

Note: You are completely insane...

Tyson’s fall was painful to watch, it was a man suffering a mental breakdown, being forced into the ring for money.

He was an absolute shell not just of the fighter from the 80’s but a shell of the man he once was.

Why are you talking to me?

[JakeTheBoxer]

Mike was a journeyman when he was 39 old. Now is he 53. What are we even talking about? Every top 30 hw beats him.

[grobbo]

Ruiz is better at eating and is younger. Other than that they really shouldn’t be compared.

[JakeTheBoxer]

And hitting a punching bag for 7 seconds is not just the same like having a boxing match with 30 old opponent. Be realistic.

I see a lot of people using conjecture to judge how an fight between the current Tyson and top heavyweights would go, but, can someone tell me in which metrics Andy Ruiz is better than Mike Tyson we saw hitting the mitts? Is it chin? Power? Skill? Head movement? Angle/foot work? Stamina???

While I do agree that Tyson would probably lose to some fringe contenders at that point, I also think that if he chose his fight right, he could take some of the current top heavyweights out. How would you think a fight between the current Tyson and the Anthony Joshua we saw facing Andy Ruiz in the first fight would play out?

And movement was the key to 5'10" Tyson's success. When that started to go so did his success. Prime Tyson scared really big men, they looked like they were being swarmed by murder hornets

man you must be casual, a 7 second clip of a 53 year old on pads makes you think he can beat prime top contenders??? lmfao

Exactly. I'm still not seeing any real comparison between the two men as far as skill set go. Just assumptions because he's older and shouldn't win based on that fact. I'm also not talking about a fight against Ruiz, but a top heavy he'd be carefully matched against. In reality, Ruiz doesn't have that much in his toolbox, and I still don't see what metric he's better than Tyson, then or now. And he was a world champion.

I also don't want to hear about Tyson's downfall years. This one is in a much different head space.

And hitting a punching bag for 7 seconds is not just the same like having a boxing match with 30 old opponent. Be realistic.

It's not about that. Footwork angle work and skills is not something you just lose with age. What we saw is that he still has impressing speed and power, more than Ruiz has.

You saw a 53 year old hit some pads for 7 seconds, and now you think he's got a better skillset than a prime heavyweight because he's fat?

I saw much more than that. Do you think Ruiz could together a more impressing 7 seconds?

man you must be casual, a 7 second clip of a 53 year old on pads makes you think he can beat prime top contenders??? lmfao

And your eye can't be trusted. You're the village idiot.
