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 ?"
