Default Fall from Glory v. Tyson

So I was watching Ali the other day which got me to watching some of his fights on youtube which then turned into watching some old Tyson fights. Made me remember, damn when this dude was in his prime he was unstoppable

yea its sad to see I have the ESPN dvd of tysons greatest hits and its just amazing the beatings that he put on people. The fights were over from the start you could just see the fear in his opponents eyes. too bad it all went away due to buster douglas and horrible training

Yea the way he coils and hits people looks like he's generating soo much power with his core its amazing. After a couple hits you kinda just see them become timid from the force of his hits. He was just dominant with so many of his fights ending in the 1st round

I have every Tyson fight ever. Even his amateur shit.
Tyson in his prime would have beat any heavyweight boxer there has ever been.

If Cus D'Amato wouldn't have died in '85, Tyson WOULD have become the greatest ever.

I dont remember his exact height but wasn't he like 5'8"? In some of his vids his opponent looked 4 or 5 inches taller than him and he just walks through them

Jesus Christ he was quick. Effing amazing. Crazy how you just make the wrong decisions or whatever and it ends that quickly.

btw, wtf was the thing he was doing? Some kind of exercise to strengthen the neck to take punches better?

they said getting punched by tyson was like having someone hit you with a sledge hammer.

also he was good at the jib jab technique his trainer taught him. the popping and weeving from side to side. he was an animal.
