Life happens to people....decisions you do or don't make have an affect on you. Mental issues, being bipolar, and coming from a broken home don't usually put you on a path to glory. Champions brush that off or rebound. I am glad Mike is in a better place now.

The training for the peek-a-boo style may have changed but the style has not. Tyson was the most dynamic at that style and his body was the best suited for it and he did as much as could be done with that style. Some of the guys that used that style.....it was just outrageously silly Buster Mathis was 6'3 and 300 pounds at times, he used that style. The technique of fighting against a guy in a crouch has never and will never change.

I do wonder if other fighters could have adopted the peek-a-boo style and done better than they did with their original styles, but they'd still be at the mercy of anyone with a good jab and long reach or a bigger bully. Shane Mosley comes to mind as someone who could have done well with that style, he reminded me of a mini-Tyson....but look who beat him Forrest & Wright...guys would were built to take on that style. Joe Frazier might have been better suited to the Peek-a-boo style, but then again he didn't really develop a right cross until the third time he fought Ali so who knows. But Tyson was without a doubt the best peek-a-boo style fighter ever....that said he'd still pretty much always lose to Holyfield & Lewis
