Let’s go champ

No man, everyone can be fast for a few seconds for instagram videos. Tyson has been knocked out before and another hit to the head will splatter all his brains to the ears, if he can be fast under such conditions then you call him fast.

Tell that to George Foreman, slower than every fighter during the time who everyone scoffed and laughed at who last fought at the age of 48 and won back his title at almost 46. He too had been knocked out before. Or even Bernard Hopkins who at 49 won a title.

How quickly people dismiss a boxer but even an elite boxer with power in both hands.

No he isn't. Anybody can look good shadowboxing or hitting bags.

Tyson was already slow when Lennox Lewis beat him 20 years ago.

George Foreman was slow as well when he fought Michael Moorer. Bernard Hopkins was slower too when he fought Beibut Shumenov

That's because they were in there against live opponents that were trying not to get hit and returning fire.

I bet B-Hop could still look amazing shadow boxing or hitting a bag. But against a live opponent he looks like molasses.

Your comment was as funny as a one legged man in an a $ $ kicking contest.

Now that's funny, thanks!

All the guys you mentioned were in their 40s while Tyson is 53. The guy’s done. He got knocked out by bums. In training he was looking fast but get to the ring he had sticky feet, couldn’t get away from any shots and all of a sudden his shots felt like feathers, his chin was now worse than Amir Khan’s. Let the old man rest and continue smoking that stuff he likes smoking.

He got knocked out by bums because his head wasn’t right but that’s changed now. I’m not talking about the guy getting in with 20 somethings in their prime I’m speaking of an exhibition charity event. However, even a 20 something gets caught by a right or left hook it’s lights out. Word has it Shamrock and Ortiz wants that smoke. Both I feel he’d KO in spectacular fashion.
