3. To compare Adamak to Evander? Adamak was in a life and death slug match with Paul Briggs. Twice. 2nd fight Briggs busted him up.
Schooled by Dawson. When Adamak was called a slugger vs LHW's he started boxing when he turned CW, then HW because he couldn't knock out big mofos.
Who gave Evander fits as a Cruiser? No one.

And Arreola didnt fight like the guys who went the distance with Tyson. BUSTER stuck and moved, the others clinched & hugged their way back in Tyson's early fights that went the distance. ARREOLAS style of stand and trade is suicide against a young Tyson.
Tyson IMO had an exciting style, but we never saw it against Tua.
And remember his camp paid step aside money to Lennox Lewis.

Lastly Tyson's style wasn't suited for boxing which is why he wasn't successful as an amatuer...no Olympics
Tyson was an exciting fighter who was limited, but those limitations wouldnt have been a problem for fat chaloopa eating Arreola.

1. No comment. Trivial stuff
2. Holy spirit.
3. Agree. Adamek sucks
4. Areala sucks
5. Tua was very one dimensional. Yes, maybe in 10 fights against Mike, he could KO him once or twice, but Tyson had more to offer than just leaping left hook and his punches were shorter. Mike should have beaten him 9 out 10.
6. Tyson was a bit too young for Olymptics. If he went there at 19-20, he would not just KD-KO his opponents, he would KILL them. He would be HW Lomachenko in amateurs.

1. I kinda agree. Something we could rack up on if it were on a game show.
For one hundred this trainer used a style that helped Patterson to Tyson....
2. Holy spirit lmao! Ok...
3. Double agree.
4. Actually I think if Arreola could stay away from the refrigerator, he could have done some nice things. He really is technically sound and a solid puncher, but no discipline from my perspsective.
5. C'mon bro, I think you are saying that now that he has been exposed. Serious question before Tua faced Ike...and HBO would have said HBO Boxing after Dark presents Tyson vs Tua...you wouldn't have made sure that night was set to watch in GREAT anticipation??
