Tyson looked fast. His speedy combinations are definitely his best feature.
He seems to be able to operate well even with a fairly soft stomach so I don't think losing weight would be the answer for him right now.
He'd risk losing power if he did that and he doesn't need to be losing any power. It's a catch 22 really...he kind of has skinny/fat man syndrome. Not much muscle mass and a soft mid section. There's no doubt he wouldn't even be in the heavyweight division if it wasn't for his height.
If he tried to take care of one of his physique limitations, he'd sacrifice a part of his game that he needs. He loses fat/weight he may lose power and strength. If he increases muscle mass, you're normally gonna bring a bit of fat along for the ride which would be detrimental to his speed.
I'm interested in seeing how his physique develops and matures, if at all, over his career.
