in his prime the guy was a technical master! he was a come forward aggressive figHTER WITH A GREAT DEFENSE (bobbing and weaving) same style of fighting as Jack Dempsey, but tyson i think was a little more sharper and tidier with his punches, he was bigger ofcourse!
prime tyson is no pushover for any of the greats, he could have beaten ali and foreman at his best but so could they have beaten him!
I'n not disagreeing with the rest of your comments, but people were just as scared of Joe Louis in his prime as they were of Tyson.
