Was Mike Tyson one dimensional?

[The D3vil]

Hell no!!!!

Deontay Wilder is 1 dimensional

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest defensive fighters of all-time and he's one of the greatest punchers of all-time.

He had power in both hands and could switch stances on a dime.

Dougie Fischer just called him the greatest combination thrower he's ever seen & he's a Sugar Ray Leonard stan.

Where did you motherfxckers learn boxing?

[TMLT87]

Mike had great defensive skills, a good jab, serious hooks, uppercuts, he could throw combos, was dangerous with both hands, would go to the body etc etc. Contrast that with someone like Wilder whose entire game is that hes basically a tall guy that tries to snipe you with his killer right hand.

[BOJACK]

I think he only stuck to what Cus Damato taught him and never varied his style.

[Don Pichardo]

Yes. Yes me dimensional.

Want proof just watch the Mathis fight. I was em stay for Tyson. That fat *** out boxed the he’ll out of mike. Mike got lucky after a while and Knocked him out.

But it proved to me the Tyson couldn’t box for sh it.

No. During his best years he set you up made you miss and then you got harmed. You can't be one dimensional to combine defense with KO power.

[chirorickyp]

Yes. Yes me dimensional.

I saw that fight. He didn't box the hell out of Tyson. Tyson out boxed him. I think it just went a couple of rounds. How did he get outboxed in a couple a rounds?

[LoadedWraps]

Yeah he was one dimensional.

But it was a great dimension and effective for the most part.

Well said.


I disagree with TS that Mosley was one dimensional though.

Go rewatch it. I recall it going five or six rounds

[bballchump11]

Yes but that dimension was formidable.

Didn't go 6 maybe 3. Tyson missed alot but he in no way was outboxed or hit with telling punches. It was all inside fighting in close quarters eventually Tyson got serious and set him up for some big shots and then it was OVER!!
