What people (especially his opponents) didn't understand, back then, was that Tyson wasn't just 220lbs of punching power, he was an extremely well-trained tactical fighter. He was a master of the peekaboo and could dodge and weave better than nearly any other fighter of that era. And he was fast. Fast coming in, fast to switch up his style, fast at picking the punch that would put his opponent on the mat. He wasn't a brawler; he was a boxer - possibly the best boxer of all time.

Most definitely. Even at 19 years old, Tyson's physique for a heavyweight was perfect, ripped in all the right places, and used that to deliver sledgehammers at speeds faster than a typical heavyweight. Although not shown here, his uppercuts were his most brutal punches, most normal people wouldn't be able to take punishment like that.

After reading Tyson’s biography, it is incredible to know how little he trained once he didn’t have the discipline of Cus D’Amato keeping him focussed and how formidable he still was.

When he fought good fighters, Lewis and Holyfield, he lost. He had two shots at Holyfield and lost both. The first fight was the most telling.

When his trainer Cus passed away, he quickly went down hill. Just a couple of short years into his career, he fell out of his prime. Prison ruined his drive, and technique. He was never the same after spending time away. Even at the time he fought Douglas, he was already partying and not training. Before Douglas, you can see he had this style here, which is drastically different than the Douglas fight. When Holyfield beat Mike, you could see Mike was fighting flat footed, throwing arm punches. No movement or footwork. By the time he fought Lewis, he was already finished. The Prime Mike that we see here, with this style.. would have torn through everyone right up to the early 2000s.

Once he achieved this goal, he lost his superhuman drive and motivation. It's hard to stay as hyper-focused as Tyson was once you have achieved what you set out to do. He quit moving his feet and torso so much, he quit throwing those lightning combos from all angles, and started to rely on his power alone. He needed a new mountain to climb.

He punched dude so hard his whole Career died, he went to jail for drug dealing, then got out and found Jesus, Mike has the hands of Salvation... Praise the Punch! 🙏🥊👼

I worked with Donnie Long from 2012 to 2018. He was an extremely humble, kind, funny and wise man who had been thru more ups and downs in life than most of us will ever see. He would take younger people like me under his wing and teach us from his experiences. Donnie was a friend to me and I hope he is doing well today.

@@ayewhaddupdoe video games back then were the same every time you played them. It was about memory, repetition, and timing. Once you put that joystick down and lose touch, it's like you're starting over from scratch every time you pick it back up. I was determined to beat Mike as an adult, never did it as a kid without the game genie lol. Took me awhile but I did it!

I'm having issues getting past the 2nd Piston Honda fight. Might have to ask my 7 year old daughter for help.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

His speed in this fight was absolutely mesmerizing. Couple that with the precision and power of his punches and you basically had to have a death wish to even get in the ring with him at this point. He mentions Marvis Frazier in this post fight interview and it wouldn't be long til the doctors would be rushing into the ring for Frazier as well. Mike almost decapitated him.

I think he actually lost the fight that he was talking about when he said this publicly, which is pretty ironic. From what I've been able to learn, this quote may have originated from Joe Louis - I've heard it was said by various boxers before Tyson said it.
