I said he carried too much weight to take advantage of his biggest asset
That and to compound matters he was grieviously out of shape for the Golata fight

And no Tysons biggest flaw was he stopped picking his way in so he could unleash his bombs
Again bad training,and trainers
Learn to watch whats happening in a fight
Against Golata,Bates was trying to cash a large check
Which for an insuarance salesman from WV was quite large indeed,he went through the first round trying,and just like most Don King productions,he didnt seem to have anything left in the second
Amazing how that often happens when Don gets his claws in to a name fighter
Each post you make just validates Ice's point that Tua shouldn't be compared to Bates.
Actually their two halves of the same fighter that was prime Tyson
Tua's got loads of power,but against the elite,he gets schooled,and outworked
Bates has good footwork,but against anyone with any stamina,he'll run out of steam and just be sitting there for you
And when he is,you can just unload
But their both shorter fighters who will be flawed for different reasons
BTW the word you wanted is hyperbole
