As for the post-prison Tyson?? He was a shot fighter after 3 years inside. Tyson in his prime was a far more intelligent fighter than people give him credit for! He was excellent fighting on the inside. He very rarely got hit, because his head movement was so good, kept his hands up. You dont have to fight pretty like Ali and Sugar Ray, to be considered a good boxer

there was nothing wrong with Tyson except that he ditched his old trainers and joined up with Don King. i just watched that fight on my new DVD. Tyson comes out same as always, looking for the big KO. he does'nt get it and is taking a beating in the meantime. his face is swelling up like a balloon and his Don King picked cornermen came unprepared to go the distance. they don;t have an Endswell and are trying to keep the swelling down with a latex glove filled with cold water and ice. absolutely terrible.
