It's nice to see a Tyson thread actually appreciating his boxing ability (as opposed to all teh other stuff).

<--To everyone who has posted on this thread so far.

Every time i watch Mikes old pre-prison fights...his footspeed and quick hands amaze me. In some of his easier fights, he does go a lil wild, but I assume thats because he wanted an early night.

He beat some VERY good fighters, but made it look easy, hence the criticism of his opposition. (Exactly the same thing happened to Joe Louis).

Although I wouldn't want to live next door to him, i do appreciate what he contributed to boxing.
