I AM NO BOXING EXPERT, but have trained kickboxing, boxing and wrestling for years as well been an athlete for most of my life and can safely say that Mike Tysons early pro fights are some of the most impressive and dominant footage Ive ever seen PERIOD!
There is a special on espn 2 and it shows his first 20 or so pro fights (lasting like an hr. because he' knocking everyone head off in the first). He has lighting quick hands/feet, insane head movement and a the most devastating hook Ive ever seen.
I am 27 so my viewing of Tyson was mostly post cus/rooney era and have never seen this footage, and just wish this man didnt fall off track because he appeared poised, and compsed in the ring and was a monster like Ive never seen. He even acted like a gentleman after knocking them out with zero arogance. It also gives me great appreciation for the power of a great trainer in cus/rooney for harnessing his ability and his personality the way they did.
Please if you have a chance see this special, it shows what an awsome fighter he was, beyond the self destructive nonsense.
