I think some people should go back and check out some of the less memorable fights of Mike Tyson, and realize not everybody went down as hard and as quick as Michael Spinks.

Mike Jameson... 15-16 career record with only 4 KOs... so basically a big journeyman with no real punching power. Look at the trouble he gave Mike by smothering and holding when Mike came inside.



Tony Tucker... SOLID HW, I think this is one of Mike's most underrated wins because Tony could FIGHT. At times really effectively fought from range, landing flush jabs and straight rights and tying Mike up on the inside. Moved well and really limited Mike's offense.



Mitch Green... golden gloves winner but mediocre pro. Again we see Mike tied up on the inside by a taller fighter.




And so on and so forth... these are guys who are all shorter, weaker and far less skilled than the Klitshcko's. Wlad and Vitali have shown they can tie guys up on the inside, and what effect is that going to have on Mike with a 245-250lb giant leaning his weight on him in the inside?
