    Mike Tyson vs Botha

    Watching the fight right now. What a great fight.

    Botha won most of the rounds & beat up Tyson really bad before the devastating KO.

    Looking at this fight & Ali vs Frazier fight in Manila just shows how boxers have improved in technique. The only thing lacking these days is stamina. Boxers of the past had ungodly stamina.

    The heavyweights in the 70's at times, where fighting like big middle weights in terms of intensity 'This was also a trait which heavyweights in the 90's also possessed at times'.

    The 90's was the last great era in heavyweight boxing 'I don't think Heavyweights have improved in today's era, there are very few heavyweights who can fight on the inside 'We have had Champions like Deontay Wilder who struggle to throw straight punches, and has no real creativity inside of the ring'.

    Note: Botha vs Tyson was not really a great fight, Tyson was merely irritated and sluggish against Botha 'I would not really state that he was being beaten up'. It was only a matter of time before? Tyson found some sort of timing and flashes of his innate technique 'Which he did, and finally ended the fight'.

          It is about the quality of the athletes in the sport. If Tyson Fury was not a boxer? What else would he be doing HitmanTommy? Could he play rugby or NFL? I don't think so.

          There are very few good athletes in heavyweight boxing these days, but people **** on about the size of the heavyweights to in some ways 'Hide this fact'.

          Note: Joshua is of right now, the only real good athlete in the heavyweight division i.e outside of boxing he has pretty good fundamental athletic abilities.

          Evander Holyfield could run lose to 2 minutes over 800m track event 'Of course this has nothing to do with boxing, but statistics like that highlight that? These past heavyweights had transferable skills'.

            That was perhaps the hardest punch that Mike Tyson has ever landed. Once he landed that shot you heard a loud noise as Botha was falling to the ground. The punch sounded like a mule kick. Botha was sent to the Heavens with that one punch and came back.

              Show me the video footage of any of today's heavyweights, displaying skills that are more advanced than the heavyweights from 70's, 80's and 90's.

              The complete fighter has vanished from the game. Joshua cannot fight on the inside, Wilder can't throw straight punches 'Fury is the only fighter who gives it at go, in most aspects of the art of boxing'.

              Note: Fury gives it a go, but even his inside fighting is clumsy 'There is a clumsy kid living inside of Fury'.

                  According to white people the original European in certain parts were black. So in other words they are home already.
