Feb 13, 2010 - in my opinion lewis beat bowe as an amatuer but it was when bowe was 21 n lewis was 23 lol mike was 22i think lewis was a better fighter than bowe and i think he had more heartand i think if holyfield bowe and lewis all fought tyson in 85 -87 holyfield would have the best chance holyfields all heart and combinations which douglas proved was the right recipe

Feb 14, 2010 - As we all know tyson was a product of cus, and ofc when cus died Tyson could not improve more...Cus was the greateast and Tyson was his greatest product, and if Cus would not have died Tyson would have been the goat prolly 4-ever.

Feb 14, 2010 - what a boring sparring session.
MrBrunothedog Says:
Feb 15, 2010 - his jab is so fast, like a lightweight

Feb 16, 2010 - If you want to study the basics of Tyson's style, this is a good example. Forget that his sparring partner is to afraid to punch, but instead, watch his slipping, footwork, angles, and punching.

Feb 17, 2010 - hi boxboz67,any recommendations for books/dvds that teach good boxing basics?thanks
boxboz67 Says:
Feb 17, 2010 - @oopalonga Hi-As far as books go, I currently do not know of any to recommend. Title boxing sells a good instructional series, but lucky for you, much of it is here on Youtube. Freddie Roach is involved on some of it, and the series is a great start for learning the basics to intermediate. My favorite being "Heavy bag combinations" with Roach. Shows you some basic, yet sound set-ups and angles that you can work on the heavy bag. Just search "title Boxing" and let search box drop down.

Mar 3, 2010 - The sparring partner knows how to handle himself as well, sure he's nothing compared to Tyson, but remember who was when Tyson was in his prime?

dbonezny Says:
Mar 8, 2010 - jesus, a bit unmatched for a sparring partner no? What was that guy, 170 tops?
bcibibcibcpCB Says:
Mar 9, 2010 - It's just Tyson's story, fighting against men who are no match for him. In this case the maybe picked a speedy, light sparring partner with good movement to train Tyson against speedy fighters.Or maybe they were afraid he would get knocked down again by his sparringpartner...
pitbull73 Says:
Mar 10, 2010 - They`re using light fighters for speed. This sparring is just to get the feet and upperbody into shape.
TheDiamond123123 Says:
Mar 11, 2010 - maaaaan mike tyson is like an animal, super fast, super strong super durable... I mean... who trains like that? noone... muhammed ali looks like a choir boy compared to mike, a fucking CHOIR boy!!! way too weak and clumsy (YES CLUMSY), compared to mike tyson, mike tyson had a very streight forward lighting fast and steady stance, noone can match that, EVER! Untill ofcourse another naturall intuitiv fighter comes along.

Feb 13, 2010 - Assuming Tyson had not gone to prison then he would have been fighting , Holyfield, Lewis+Bowe fighting for World titles. Assuming he fought all of them circa 1990-1996 I think Tyson would have beaten Holyfield+ Lewis+ possibly lost to Bowe who had the size+ skills. 1990-1995 I wasn't really impressed with Lewis or Holyfield, I knew Bowe would beat Holyfield+ Lewis vulnerability was obvious v Bruno+ Macall. They improved from the mid 90s but I think Tyson 1986-96 was the best since Holmes.
