Some thought on Tyson

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

80% of Tyson's career was with shit trainers that wanted to see Tyson do the square-on weeble-wabble punch by numbers system. It really resent this because Tyson had good upper-body movement and a reliable chin so really could have put his attributes to better use.

I always felt that fighting more like James Toney (early-mid noughties) would have much better suited Tyson - as a more side-on fighter, not trying to load up on so much.

But tyson had a short reach and was the smallest heavyweight so im not sure how that toney style would have worked for him.

James Toney = 5ft 9/ 72 ins reach
Mike Tyson = 5ft 11/ 71 ins reach

No difference IMO
