I Don't Think Tyson Was Great Inside Fighter

[luvfightgame]

I think he did his work better with a bit of distance if you see even his best performance's like with Berbick he don't really throw punches on inside and he allows Berbick to tie him up he does his best work with a bit of distance thats one of the reason's why he lost against Holyfield because he doesn't throw many punches head to head with his opponents and thats why Holyfield was able to beat him on the inside and tie him up i know people may think im totally wrong or ect but does anyone else agree ??

Holyfield beat him because he roughed Tyson up. Never seen anyone push him around before and not back down at all. He beat Tyson mentally, plus Tyson comes forward throwing combo's and Holyfield would back up then plant feet and slam his shoulder into Tyson's face while he was coming forward. He roughed Mike up and then beat him.

Also hate to beat a dead horse but there were 2 versions of Tyson as a fighter and the first one was masterful, the second was just a slugger who tried to put people away with one punch.

Question? How do you prevent someone from tying you up if you are throwing punches? Tyson is shorter than most of his opponents and has to get inside, if you are trying to punch and they are trying to grab you can't stop them from grabbing. You can push them off or punch while they are grabbing but you can't stop them from grabbing. The early fights that went the distance are people that were trying not to get knocked out, not people trying to win. Holy is the first to out rough Mike, and he couldn't handle it mentally.

Make it cost prohibitive to hold

Like biting? Or trying to break someone's arm? Who would do something like that?
