    As you said, there's never been anyone since who has mastered that peek a boo style with that power like Tyson.

    Vinny Paz under Kevin Rooney flirted with the style and tried to use it, but to much less effect.

    Hell, I was gonna bring up when Paz fought Roger Mayweather as being a lil similiar, but I remembered he was under Lou Duva at the time, who subsequently was punched in the face and dropped by Roger after the fight !
    Yeah Vinny was far from it, he was good, but Tyson was just something else. And bringing up Vinny, I woulda love to see Roy Jones fight Tyson when they were supposed to, when roy still had it but Tyson didn't, I still give it to Tyson

    Yes, that was a very interesting fight that was being talked about. I remember my Dad, who is a huge Roy Jones fan, not wanting Roy to fight even an old Tyson.

    Said it was crazy and if Roy did fight him and even a hard body shot landed it could break his ribs.

    By the way, Roy is greater than Floyd and was far, far more impressive during his p4p reign of nearly a decade.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    I am not sure if this will be a boring fight or not, but one thing for sure that many will surely watch this fight. They are the type of boxers that you should watch their every fight and you should not miss.. but i think this is already impossible.. age issues.. whatcha think?

    Floyd would really struggle to land those lead rights and would either be forced to work or lose a decision.

    Also, Floyd hasnt tested positive for any steroids like Roy and Floyd could fight on in to his 40's and not get knocked out becaus ehe actually has a defense.

    What weight are we talking here. Floyd has been through a lot of weightclases so I'd have to imagine a 140 match up with neither of them having a particular weight-related upper-hand (not physical, obviously Tyson was a strong guy, I just mean assuming neither guy was ''big'' or ''small'' at whatever weight this match up is supposed to be at).

    Absolutely Tyson's gifts shone in a division of lesser privileged men so you could argue that he wouldn't be as brutal against more a physically capable opponent but then all things being relative, It's almost impossible to imagine just how athletically gifted a 140lbs version of Mike would have been, I mean can you imagine the footwork? He really probably would of been all over Floyd like a bad suit.
