Forgotten fighter-trainer pairings

I don't buy that he was ever "invincible" but he definently was a more complete heavyweight than Floyd Patterson. Floyd had great handspeed, pretty solid power, but no chin, and no size on him. Tyson was bigger, stronger, and he could take punishment if he had to.

Me neither! I was using the word invincible as a figure of speech. It was a label that was branded round for Tyson a lot in those days but looking back now he always had flaws and I think anyone who could have stood upto him and his punch like Evander did later on would have always beaten!

I agree. Tyson was a bully and all you need to do to beat a bully is stand up to him (in Tyson's case you needed a good chin too).

People used to say Anthony Dirrell was the better of the Dirrell bros. I just don't see it, Andre seems alot faster to me.
