I like his exciting style but i dislike him as a person and i don't like most of Tyson's fans either because they severely overrate there man. He had amazing talent once but he threw it away, my favorite Tyson fight is his two fights with Ruddock because for once he actually takes solid punches and has to dig deeper than he ever has before. And also his fight with Tyrell Biggs but one thing i didn't understand about the Biggs fight was that he actually won 1st round by sticking and moving, then he decides to stand toe to toe with Tyson for the rest of the fight ?? and then he gets battered from pillar to post that is a mystery to me why Biggs changed his tactics like that.
Tyrell Biggs was quite good he had good movement for a big Heavyweight, he even rocked Riddick Bowe and gave Bowe some problems as well and Bowe was in his prime. But he had a weak chin and his chin always let him down, similar to Carl Williams who gave an aging Larry Holmes all he could handle. Williams had very good movement like Biggs and Williams had one of the best jabs in Heavyweight history IMO. But just like Biggs he had a weak chin and that always let him down in big fights, he dropped Tommy Morrison numerous times in there wild slugfest, but yet again he lost because his chin let him down. James Tillis also had very good movement but not a strong chin and suspect stamina, but for that one night against Tyson his chin seemed solid and his stamina was pretty good as well. Most of the 80s Heavyweights had talent like Witherspoon, Tucker, Tubbs, Page, etc. But they either ruined themselves or they didn't quite have the chin to beat the elite Heavyweights.
