If he did not go to prison and stayed with his trainers he would have been the greatest of all time.

good vid mate cheers
What the hell was he doing at 1:28? Whatever it was, I'm too afraid to attempt doing it.![]()
Defensive genius coupled with his ferocious attack he was an explosive fighter.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
That's an old montage but it's still fantastic to watch. Thanks for posting.
The intensity at which he shadowboxed was amazing.
He wasn't that much of a defensive genius guys like Bone Crusher Smith and Quick TIllis were able to him relatively easily even in his prime. Tyson was a great fighter, but we still have to question whether he would have beaten Holyfield or Lewis, He was mentally unsound regardless of who was coaching him, and I think if he got into tough territories like he did against Lewis or Holyfield he would have just given up on himself like he did.
I agree. Tyson beat a lot of opponents before they got in the ring with the fear factor. Once he was beaten that changed just a little.
Tyson was so close yet so far away from being perfect. His mental state/toughness will always be questioned. If he'd ever fought Ali I guarantee after a 8 - 10rounds of Ali taking the p*ss Tyson would either have given uo mentally and been knocked out or lost the plot and been diaqualified for eating Ali's liver !!!
A great fighter though and how I wish he was in his prime now to sort out the current crop of has beens, never were's and never will be's....
'To speak with his equal and irish man is forced to talk with God...'
Pressure cracked Iron Mike
There is no example from his entire career of a time when he was behind in a fight and he came back and won.
He lacked that Holyfield-like heart
Tyson did fight in a very weak division lets not forget that , but he was good to watch when trained by Rooney.
In his prime you could count on one hand how many hard punches he took, Tucker in the first, Bonecrusher in the last round, Bruno's left hook, that's how good his defence was. Also many seasoned fighters were not afraid of him, they went in and got beat good such as Thomas, Biggs and Berbick. The fight with Rudduck showed he could take a shot and came back from a bad 6th round. You cannot deny his defence or his sharp punching power.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
