Was Mike Tyson a swarmer or slugger type boxer ?

[Boxing Goat]

Tython may be a thwarmer or thlugger but he baits opponents, making them miss so he can land a bomb.

His problem is he only fights moving forward. Force him to take a step back and he's completely useless.

I totally read that in Tyson-speech, was masterful lol

[Boxing Goat]

He was a FAST forward moving, EVASIVE, Offensive power puncher.

He wasn't a counter puncher

[JakeTheBoxer]

I see comparison with Porter.

Porter is far more skilled fighter. Tyson just moved forward, while Porter has better defense, even though he lacks KO power.

Porter is very skilled welterweight. Mike Tyson was not even very skilled heavyweight.

It is easier to be KO artist in higher division, because you are heavier and punches are much stronger.

He liked to keep distance, unload when he's in close his speedy combinations then get out. That's how I think of him without having seen any of his fights recently

[coghaugen]

Neither...

Nope. His now extinct OFFENSIVE STYLE allowed him to UNLEASH his Power and speed.

[Luilun]

Neither when he was focused he was a skilled knock out machine. Even with a broken back he knock someone out

[Skepchica]

Mike was a counterpuncher according to himself in the biography he wrote about Cus

Peakaboo makes them miss and pay. That counterpunching

So because he said it that means it's true regardless of what we can see with our eyes.

[Silence]

None of them. He wasn't great inside fighter. He was more like front foot, aggressive counter puncher in middle range. Like Tank and Canelo since Kovalev.

I have Tyson ahead in skills

Porter has awful accuracy

the worst accuracy I seen for an elite
